> The good thing for indie game developers here is that this opens up a gap to iterate on Nintendo's ideas for an older more seasoned audience that may be tiring of the same old.

Temtem[0] comes to mind. Remove power points per move, add stamina costs and reserve per pokemon; remove RNG (crits, random secondary effects); change up the type advantages, remove types, add types. The story even has a competent and reasonably threatening adversarial group! I haven't beat the main story but it's seems promising so far. It is otherwise remarkably similar to a main series pokemon games, in particular the metroidvania-like "movement ability gating", e.g., a surfboard for traveling on water.

But if one prefers Palworld to Pokemon, I'd suspect they'd also prefer Palworld to Temtem; the game play in Temtem is much more similar to main series Pokemon.

Proton was started from a Timeplus's internal projects which all named after particle.

Yes, it lacks context, but can you get the context from Flink or Spark ? both of these are just data processing tools, supporting streaming as well.
So you just said you like writing cheques to make other people wear the 3 day clearing delay and paperwork hassle and you don't use them yourself when you are a consumer.

You don't care because you're an issuer, and a net beneficiary of retention of the funds in your control for those extra days of clearing.
> Law and medicine seems like most professions, there are some really good practitioners and a lot who are mediocre

This is accurate, in my experience. It's what makes initially finding a lawyer (or doctor, or therapist, or auto mechanic, or etc.) a painful experience. You have to expect to go through a few before you find one that works for you.

Then, when you find one, treasure them for the pearls that they are.
By definition, an instance will only block instances it doesn't trust, so yes, only untrustworthy instances are blocked by an instance that doesn't trust them

The mistake is believing that all instances behave the same and block the same. The whole point of federation is that every instance chooses who it wants to block.
Wow, that's superb. It really helps me try to visualise the size they appear in the sky. Obviously I still can't truly wrap my head around the scale of everything, but it's a start.

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, this video by Epic Spaceman is a treat if you want to try to visualise just how big our own galaxy is: https://youtu.be/VsRmyY3Db1Y?si=I7y5bL_9qV_lazPQ
Would've been great if anyone disagreeing could've highlighted why, but alas. If you've tried Mistral on some creative tasks in a wide range of languages and found it competitive with GPT-4, please do tell.
The problem with this (and I was also in an org that didn't get any headcount -- for several years) is that those non-growing teams often ultimately just wither and die, whether it's through internal transfer, attrition or layoff. Google doesn't really reward managers for their managerial skill, and there's nothing that says "managerial incompetence" at Google more than having the same size team for years on end.
I think a lot of the comments are also missing the fact that the moon is an unreliable means of navigation due it not always being present the whole night (or at all), changes brightness, moves around the sky and can be covered by cloud. It is unlikely then that insects would specifically evolve to use it as a means of navigation.

The paper states that it is the general brightness of the sky, even at night, compared to the ground that is the point of reference. So insect point top side at diffuse bright area and bottom side will be parallel to ground.
My only hesitation with these rules is that I feel like Apple, as a business, has a right to do whatever they want with their business so long as there are alternatives and I do consider Android to be a viable alternative. I wouldn't want the government forcing my business to do anything that I felt devalued my brand or my product so I do understand the "maliciousness of their compliance".

Let's say that I created some kind of device, not as complex as a phone, but something that was like a little portable video game system or something. If the government can tell Apple that they have to allow third-parties to be able to do whatever they want to these devices, then it may hurt my business if third-parties don't have the same standards of quality as I do. Apple's standard is really, really high (insanely high by some accounts) and I feel like mine is too.

That's the only reason that I would oppose this type of legislation. The people complaining about Apple's behavior are the people that have become successful off of Apple's ecosystem and customer base. They want the benefits of having access to Apple's highly curated customer base without the downsides of having to develop and foster is themselves. It feels entitled in a way that I only begrudgingly support because of Apple's size and resources. If it was any other large corporation, I'd feel the same way. I wouldn't feel this way about any regular company, though. I would be rallying against the governance.
> It's positively ... Indian. It's like mainstream Indian bureaucracy levels of insane slowness.

Ironically India has a very significant amount of transactions cashless/electronic, pushed by demonetization and later covid. The government has been pushing hard for it for a while and I think they succeeded.
Fine for non-majority shareholders to be able to sue. Also fine that they win. But 6 years after the package was awarded?
Everyone has an explanation for this but a while ago there was this online game someone made which would give you some metric about some public stock and then you had to guess to buy / sell. It's not that straightforward.

Here, GOOG was $144.99 on Jan 18 and $144.50 on Jan 30 and this is supposed to be some dramatic shift in things? Bullshit.
I just checked my area in Apple Maps out of interest and my own house, which I've lived in for longer than Apple Maps has existed, is listed as belonging to a business I've never heard of. The only actually existing business I can find with that name is at the opposite side of the country.

Not a great first impression. Also while I can view Apple Maps via a third party like DuckDuckGo, you can only report a map issue through an Apple device, so I guess it's staying wrong.
More funding than the next company.
How about "Timeplus Proton"? Yes, I know there are good game engine and mail service with that name. At Timeplus, component is named after the particles, e.g. https://github.com/timeplus-io/chameleon, our data generator
"for reasons" is doing all the heavy lifting here. I think the whole point of this series is to lift the tablecloth a bit and look at the dust bunnies underneath.

I'm actually thinking we will need a lot more (competent) engineers soon when someone needs to start fixing the immeasurable piles of garbage that no-code AI crap produces. This is a good time to really level up on the ability to solve complex problems. But yeah, your average React.js developer will most likely go out of business.

> Glasses? Like the ones I have on my face? Not in my lifetime…

Your remaining lifetime must be pretty short.

Technology evolves at a ridiculously fast pace. Just as a reminder, the Nokia 3310 was one of the most popular phones in 2000. We went from tiny, monochrome displays to foldable full-color displays with magnitudes higher resolution in what most call a quarter of a lifetime.
Yeah - the first one is always at the edge of what's possible with the hardware capabilities at the time of launch at the quality level Apple demands. Then usually they refine it and end up defining the category.

The idea of 'spatial computing' or a heads up display that augments your vision and gives you eye tracking input to manipulate UIs in your visual field seems clearer superior to looking at little glass displays (meta agrees). If you can project out a future where that hardware becomes better and better it's a pretty powerful interface paradigm.

Eye tracking as an interface for this can get pretty close to telepathy if done well.

I ordered one - it's the sort of thing you really have to play with yourself imo.
They make you sign a contract that takes away all of your rights and only sue them in Indiana. And every new RV dealer does it so take it or leave it.

I found the exact same kind of a cartel of physicians when I discovered that my dad couldn't get brain cancer treatment without agreeing to arbitration, with every possible controversy in favor of the hospital. Take it or just go home and die.
2 bits ?
I see your universal predictor and raise you one non-halting program (in a language of your choice).
iOS/visionOS lacks good window management tools for this though and since macOS Apple has not demonstrated they can build them for new platforms. Maybe visionOS will motivate them to actually get it right, but that hasn't been shown off yet.

I think about all the apps I'm running and switching between on my computer now, using shortcuts and toolbars and docks to arrange, hide, and switch between them. Everyone using multiple apps on visionOS just looks chaotic.

I once had a second portrait monitor next to my ultrawide. I had to get rid of it because it was just too tiring to be constantly turning my head so far to look at it. It didn't work out.

I cannot imagine how uncomfortable it would be if each app needed to be in a different physical space that required turning my head to use. Painful.
I think this might be case where cheap deposits are obviously geographically constrained. River sand near shores/blue water access for bulk transport to global markets. Once you expand to exploring/exploiting increasingly inland, the logistics of bulk cargo starts stacking up.
Apple Maps in New Zealand is really, really good. Travel estimates are nearly perfect.

In smaller countries though, it's total rubbish. Samoa, travel guidance is nearly non-existent. Tahiti, very patchy. In those countries, Google Maps was perfect.
OP is talking about the reverse. Using one Vision attached to two different laptops with two different iCloud accounts, so they can use it with both their work and personal computer.
These products are fundamentally disturbing and depressing. The push by Apple, Meta, et al to normalize long term, general-purpose use of AR/MR is at best an attempt to generate a new iPod/iPhone craze by manipulating people into thinking they need a bulky $3499 gadget (that’s three thousand four hundred ninety-nine, not thirty four ninety nine, Mr Patel) that actually impinges on their ability to interact and integrate with the world rather than augmenting it. At its (much, much) worst, it’s an attempt at an evolutionary leap in corporate surveillance and extending the walled garden further into our perception of reality. Thinking about people going about their daily routine with this ridiculous parasite strapped to their faces, grasping at the air around them like the blind searching for the bathroom at an airport, fills me with more dread and sadness than any episode of Black Mirror. I cannot comprehend the mind of someone who willingly and enthusiastically pays that sort of money to insert a lossy, delayed, artifact-laced layer between themselves and the world directly in front of them. This is the enshittification of reality, processed via a corporate filter and the people around us replaced with clumsy and cringy simulacra.
A couple watts of heat dissipating into your face and head the entire flight is.... Not optimal. Heat is a rather important issue for VR hardware. You can't really positively ventilate the actual part that goes over your face, or else you dry out your eyes and that's pretty unenjoyable.
Wow. Yes, thank you so much! I knew of HeyGen, but had no idea they'd done this with real-time avatars.
Probably sold mostly to the sphere, not the core. Systime might have been in the pdp-11 business too but I was there working Vax, and the story was told to me about Vax (by systime employees I might add)
The first iPod had a wheel that physically moved and would get dirt and stuff stuck in it/have issues. The HDD would also freeze up. It was better than alternatives at the time, but it wasn't really until the click wheel it got really refined.

The first iPad was similarly expensive, thick and underpowered. It wasn't until a couple generations in that it was good.
Thanks for the clarification. That would make more sense.
> I have 256GB RAM locally so I might as well use it.

But how much swap space do you have?
50%. With current knowledge N is either 100 or 99 with an equal probability.
Well I was hoping for something more scientific. I read a bit about that, and it seems like insects are more affected by smaller wavelengths (UV/blue rather than yellow/red) and some species polarized light.

But then if we know it, why don't we engineer the street lights to not attract insects?
Off the top of my head and using my fingers the probability is:

4901:4900 in favor of red. (100*98/2 = 100*49. Plus one in favor of red)

If the number of distribution were odd, the odds would be even.

Am I right?
How do you know how much your benefits and support staff cost?
As a counterpoint, I had a Series 2 for years and it worked really well. It was slow, so third party apps were not really usable, but the core functionality of the watch was perfectly fine. That is, until an unfortunate incident broke its screen while in the sea.
> Nostr really feels to me like the blockchain

That’s not strange, given that it’s architecturally similar.

However, blockchains are solving global consensus problems. Nostr doesn’t give a shit. To me, that’s good. One piece at a time. Also, what’s so important about consensus? It’s extremely slow and expensive and mostly matters for financial applications. The less financial speculation the better, imo.

Time will tell I guess if the architecture holds, and also if there are interesting easy-to-use applications on top of it. But I like the simplicity of it a lot. Feels retro and refreshing at the same time.
No, the higher the count goes the closer it becomes to the single removed ball not mattering at all, so the only thing that matters is the information you got about which urn you're selecting from.
That's not apples to apples, though. Snowflake has 5,000 employees in the entire firm. The BQ Product+Eng+partnerships team is a fraction of that, and the SG&A functions are all shared services across all of Cloud, just like your Databricks comparison.
I was talking with some local Montana hunters and they did not like the wolf presence. Not only do wolves tend to skip out on the ample deer population and focus on elk and moose (thus reducing the availability of the prized game meat), but also that the introduction of the wolves also introduced wasting disease.

Wasting disease is awful and you do not want to eat affected animals. The disease requires both ungulates and the wolves as the parasite lives out part of its life in each.

https://extension.colostate.edu/topic-areas/people-predators...

I think it would be expected that any group with increased contact would support additional wolf hunting. The general population dropping in support is likely due to the large population growth and not being familiar with the issue and simply not liking the idea of majestic wolves being killed.

Edit: Looks like I was mixing CWD with the tapeworm parasites and CWD is related to prions
Which laptop is best for gaming? 2024 Recommendations
Ooof, this was pretty depressing to read. It seems like your options are:

1. Ignore the letter: not recommended, as that will likely end in a lawsuit that you'll probably lose.

2. Comply: maybe not with everything (like if they ask you to do ridiculous things like give them a look at your finances), but at least stop doing what you're doing that triggered the whole thing in the first place.

3. Engage a lawyer and fight: but you're probably going to lose, unless you're independently wealthy, and/or can rally some legal-aid services that specialize in digital rights, as well as journalists and other powerful entities to help you.

And in all cases, if it's an entity like Meta, they've likely already disabled your existing accounts and banned you, and you'll never get them back.
Yes. My comparison was to the wider indian paperwork processes, not money, where India is stellar.

Uruguay is another economy which has gone all-in on cashless, shops and cafes had to offer 10% discount for card transactions when I was there 8 years ago, the idea was to beat out the tax-avoidance.
This tool evidently overcomes the display limitation: https://github.com/saagarjha/Ensemble

"Ensemble (formerly MacCast, before the lawyers had something to say about it) bridges windows from your Mac directly into visionOS, letting you move, resize, and interact with them just like you would with any other native app. It's wireless, like Mac Virtual Display, but without the limitations of resolution or working in a flat plane."
I think something has gone wrong, because the page is unstyled and images aren't loading.
Apple can’t even get lldb to not crash trying to show me the values of variables in the current stack frame… the intuitiveness of the UI is far from the top of my priority list.
KDE now has CI jobs compiling to AppImage, Android, Flatpak, macOS, Windows
GDB can kind of do this, you can have commands fire when a breakpoint is hit and continue automatically, and if you want to take it further you can use Python and execute Python code to inspect the state of the CPU and memory in some programmatic way. Not sure if it applies to your target platform, but if it’s ARM it should work.
I live in Denver proper. And there are three middle aged men in pickups that essentially terrorize the neighborhood in their lifted Ram pickups. Constantly doing 45+ in a 20, if a car tries to park or pull into a driveway they curb hop and freak out. Cops refuse to do a thing about it, probably because they're clearly on the same team (white, male, wraparound Oakleys, tan hoodies with flags on the shoulder, gun stickers on the truck, etc...). But I'd be insane to let my girls run free in the neighborhood with that threat. I'm a competent cyclist and I've nearly been killed by two of them.
Apps are not able to register where you’re looking. Only the headset itself does.
They were both significantly better than alternatives and didn't cost 7x as much as this does vs meta quest 3.
I'm stuck at the first continue statement. Doesn't that suck up one of your num_trials? This can never happen per the conditions laid out, but then you put num_trials in the denominator when returning the percent of times it was green.

It's a very biased article though.
Well, it just blow my mind as I never thought MinGW could be used in this way.

MinGW is a good tool for using gcc or git on Windows. However, I still believe it less attractive as a general environment to learn Linux. Linux's attraction mostly comes from the powerful software that is typically run on Linux (web server, deep learning framework, etc.), and MinGW cannot cover much about this, not to mention the lack of many other important features in Linux like user management, filesystem, directory structure and remote access. Using MinGW as a start may convey a wrong first impression to newbies.

Another point is that, WSL is free, super accessable via a simple click in Microsoft Store (maybe another click to turn this Windows feature on?), and with full features of Linux. In contrast, I wonder how accessible MinGW is for newbies, as I am still not sure how to install a standalone MinGW on Windows ... maybe MSYS2? in my scenarios MinGW usually ships with the compiler environment or git.
I think this is less about Bayesian thinking and more about misinterpreting the question, as another poster mentions: https://twitter.com/farrwill/status/1751788706355392639

ie i think many of the More Likely to be Green people are doing the math of if you pull from an urn with n/100 odds of getting red, your second pull will have odds (n-1)/99, which is less than n/100 for all n except n=100. Which is obviously a different question than should you bet on Green or Red.

Which is obviously a different question than "would you bet on the next ball being red or green"
That's "what's the probability you've caught the world's meanest fish".

This woefully and naively ignores the systemic effects.

Banks hold $3 trillion in commercial real estate debt. That 60 Minutes report talks about how regional banks have huge amounts of their loan volume in commercial real estate. So to answer your question of "We who?", the answer is anyone who has a bank account, and given how the government will do everything to ensure the financial system doesn't collapse, every taxpayer.

The first iPod's wheel would break and skip all the time. And so would the hard drive. And the OS was really simple, and the syncing was terrible.

The first iPad was ok only because it truly was "just a bigger iPhone". But they didn't really make features that were unique to the iPad and took advantage of its bigger screen for a few versions afterwards.
ISO created the country codes in 1974, prior to the invention of DNS.
This'll be obvious to anyone who's ever used any other payment system, but it'd be better if more of the risk of payment was borne by the payer rather than the payee. For example, re. this line from the article:

> In the case where [...] the government later comes to the conclusion that it didn't really want to pay them

If the government comes to that conclusion, and has a legitimate reason (e.g. you didn't do the work they paid you to do), they should have ample ability to take you to court to get the money back. By making the payee cover this risk, they're essentially paying for the untrustworthiness of other payees.
I always thought that frame-dragging, or something similar, could account for this, but I assume it's been ruled out already.

Type-prefixed IDs are the way to go. For completeness it's worth noting that the first example using the `string | 'currentNode'` type can be slightly improved in cases where you _do_ want autocomplete for known-good values but are still OK with accepting arbitrary string values:

type Target = 'currentNode' | (string & {});
const targets: Target[] = [
'currentNode', // you get autocomplete hints for this!
'somethingElse', // no autocomplete here, but it typechecks
];
