The law doesn't work on strict abstract principles. Windows has a million uses of which piracy is just one. Yuzu has two uses (playing legitimate backups and pirated backups), of which Nintendo may successfully argue, both are piracy (due to the circumvention of encryption in both cases). In which case, the only possible use in 99.9%+ of cases... is for illegal activity.
Europe has a nuclear deterrent. France and UK have their own nuclear weapons and ballistic missile submarines.
They are now too big to experiment and fail with any product line. And don’t know if the majority of their shareholders will agree on that model anyway. I mean they still have lacklustre products, but the appetite for risk isn’t there. The only thing they are betting money on in the last decade is poor software quality.
This is the problem with Tim Cook. He was able to execute on the ideas that Steve Jobs had about the future of computing, but has no real vision of his own. For the past decade he's made all the right decisions about how to best expand personal technology and introduced a couple new products like the Apple Watch and AirPods. But those are just extensions of the same basic idea.

But in terms of the future? He's just been chasing trends. The VR headset is a copy of a fad that peaked a few years ago. The car project is the same - way outside Apple's core competency and doomed from the start. It probably started simply because Cook drives a Tesla and wanted an Apple version. Just like the push to make the iPad a replacement for the Mac - it's all he normally uses, so that's what he thought was important.

Apple completely dropped the lead they had with Siri. They should have had a massive generative AI project for the past 5 years.

It's not a secret that Cook isn't a visionary, he's the type of guy who implements the vision of others. I think over the next decade we're going to start seeing Apple start to pay the price for that deficiency.
That’s where approaching someone like the EFF comes in.
Why they would be obsolete if more efficient than regular natural gas heat, which is by far the currently most widely used home heating technology?
Case in point would be modern gliders (sailplanes). One simple parameter that describes their aerodynamic performance is the maximum achievable Lift/Drag ratio, and that dimension-less ratio has climbed from ~30 in the 1960s to as high as 75 today. That means modern gliders can, using the same altitude/energy, go over 2 times further horizontally. The L/D is not the ultimate decider of performance but it is quite representative of the aerodynamic performance improvements.

BTW, all lift based flying objects have an L/D ratio (which depends mainly on the airspeed), this includes birds, fighter jets, commercial airliners; and the discrepancies can be pretty interesting. For example if one looks at the L/D of the Concorde vs a subsonic jet it becomes clear why it was so damn expensive to operate. Or why the U-2 looks like a glider :). I cannot find any aerodynamic performance data on any famous long endurance (>24h) unmanned drone, but I bet it's rather high as well.
Just a small note, that code looks like Context2d rather than WebGL unless you were looking at something else in the code
Huh, guess I better go make sure the copy on my Steam Deck is up to date. Not that I've actually bothered acquiring a single Switch ROM, there's so damn many neat little mid-sized games on the thing.
There's no skin in the game with Metaculus, it's a prediction aggregator, not a prediction market. Nothing is at stake.

This is why you see a somewhat absurd skew on AI doom/safety questions, using Metaculus is a hobby of the cult^H^H^H^H movement, and no one's swooping in to steal their money because there isn't any.
Logical sense? I can't really just play the pirated game on my home electricity. Just like you can't sue the road when a car runs you down.

> I can’t see them ever competing even with the small makers like Jaguar or Polestar or Lamborghini.

Jaguar is owned by Tata motors, Polestar is a Volvo subsidiary, Lamborghini's ownership is Audi -> Volkswagen, so not really small makers in any sense.

But generally I agree, I think Apple making the full car is an odd choice. I think so much of their DNA, though, is "hardware and software working in concert together", and that's probably what they thought this was a good idea to begin with.
If people are paying attention then Netlify should be done as a company.
you don't even need to agree on 'never' as 'not in the next 25 years' and 'never' both look the same for the timeframe we have to decarbonize personal transportation.

There can be one filter that only blocks spam and scams, another that blocks conservatives, another that blocks spam, scams and celebrity gossip, another that only shows technical content etc. You open the config options and pick one, like you choose an ad blocker or a radio station.

Car manufacturers have ISO standards for symbols/icons on controls: https://cdn.standards.iteh.ai/samples/68409/6480e873c14b4e56...

One of the pain points that CarPlay and Android Auto solve for is that any car I rent or buy has the same media controls and all of my presets. When I travel for work, I try to always pick a rental vehicle that is compatible with my phone in order to reduce cognitive load of learning a new vehicle's unique controls.
>I was always rather puzzled by the car. I can’t see them ever competing even with the small makers like Jaguar or Polestar or Lamborghini. They’re certainly not going to take on Ford or Mazda or Honda.

That was what people saying about them getting in music players, phones, and smart watches.

The average car is crap compared to what it could be - and that's without any self-driving involved either: purely the basic car functionality has seen little thought UX and convenience wise in 50+ years.

Yet another small country given the power to cause the destruction of US cities.

If the US gets enmeshed in a conflict because of Sweden, which US cities do you want to have destroyed?

Britain as the world's top superpower of the era was destroyed by having to come to the aid of Belgium in August 1914. Unintended consequences are a bitch.
That was one of the few times, when I can look back and feel like the user has won. It has been something of a steady decline since.

I would love for some clear indication that we have some digital rights left, but I am not certain the same reaction would not be possible to be replicated today.
Is it the same for Vercel? It's even more expensive there. Scary
Reading your other comments I've realized you're right about that. I'm not very familiar with LuaJIT so I assumed the garbage collection semantics were undefined. That was the impression I got from the article at least.
Nah, you just need to scale up your storage expectation; I think 8TB will cover most of a PS1 localization.

That's correct. It has been less than a month since I have started publishing blog articles on Abun. It would take a few months for blogs to start ranking on Google which will gradually improve in ranking over the course of time.

The idea is not to write just any articles, but rather the ones that suit your industry targeting your ideal customer profile. This ensures that whatever users come to your website were searching for that specific term & would find relevant content on your blog. This is currently even possible using ChatGPT. The user will have to use the generated article & manually add parameters of E-E-A-T which will also start ranking on Google. I am just trying to automate it so that you do not have to invest time doing that manually.

An interesting side-note on the F-35C - when it was ordered/designed there was no aircraft that could deliver replacement engines (even when disassembled) to an aircraft carrier. They wouldn't fit into the C2 Greyhound. Kind of an odd oversight.

They can fit into the CMV-22B variant of the Osprey, which is grounded for now, and I believe the CH-53K King Stallion. But they those aircraft didn't exist until recently.

edit:

I meant to say that the C-2 couldn't carry F-35 engines in particular because they don't fit, not that they couldn't carry replacement engines in general.
“An array of programmable CPUs with instruction sets tailored towards vector operations” might be specialised but it isn’t fixed function. “Insert vertices, indices, and 2-4 textures. Receive image on screen.” DX7 style is fixed function.
Well, let me put it this way. Why don't they sue Dell then? If Dell computers didn't exist, pirated games couldn't be played! Or sue themselves, because if hacked Switches didn't exist, pirated games couldn't be played!
My memory saya that some engineers objected, but they were ignored.
This article makes a lot of woo-woo assertions without a shred of explanation or evidence. The author is certainly entitled to his opinions, but if he wants to convince anybody else, he's going to have to try a little harder.
I'm confused as to how or why the Yuzu team would be held liable for this. Is it their responsibility to ensure that people don't donate money to them if the timing of that donation coincides with an unrelated leak of Nintendo's IP? If emulation is allowed and the Yuzu team itself isn't engaging in the promotion of piracy, I don't see what the case is here.
As if IPs matter in the golden age of IoT botnets and residential app malware.

You can't even block the amount of subnets that's coming for you in a DDoS attack, thinking a human is able to keep up with something like this is pretty blindsighted and naive. The differentiation of network protocols and relay attacks alone is way too slow to be mitigated in most systems.
You can understand why design A failed. Just don’t need design B to be blocked on that with agile because the last iteration was working.
You bet. We get an interesting mix offering Heroku-like deployment with Vanta-style compliance preparation. We're not just an annual subscription-based GRC checklist that passively monitors, we're an active tool that enforces security on a technical front and runs checks every time an engineer git pushes. We also don't charge usage-based fees, so no one is charged an additional 10x of their AWS usage cost, which any large organization would with good reason want to churn.

It's been an effective entry point into the market for us -- establishing a foundation with companies that need to become compliant for the first time and building out core compliance features is a great stepping stone. Lets you work with additional customers while building out your larger product visions.
You can prove irrelevant correlation. They weren't even paid for TOTK. The fact that users may have intended to play TOTK is something Yuzu had no control over.
Advertisers are also considerably more picky about the content they're willing to be associated with, and considerably more influential with regard to the content most people see online than they were 20 years ago. Advertiser demands have produced rapid policy changes from the likes of Youtube and Reddit where other forms of pressure have had little effect.
Not under 1201. They can form a copyright circumvention device without being subject to copyright themselves as long as they're used to protect an actual copywritten work (in this case the encrypted game images).

> All I'm asking is, if you want to eventually make money on your project, at least be up front about it in the beginning so that your users can make an informed decision when they decide whether to bake it into their stack.

That isn't how it works in practice, I think.

If you have already decided from the start to make money on your FOSS project, you're going to need a plan more evolved and refined than "push to GitHub and sort out the details later", otherwise you've already failed. Many people will even decide to just not do open source, for that reason.

If you're not planning on making money, that might change later when you realize that the only value you get from million-dollar corporations making heaps of money off your work is some bug reports and requests to do more in your off time. Alternatively, you might decide you enjoy the work and want to make a living off it. Neither of these are bad, per se. Also, nobody signs a contract stating they're going to work for free forever, so you're going to have to live with that.

The reality is that most of the people who derive great value from open source and free software just want it for free; the labor and economics can and must be sorted out by someone else, preferably at absolute zero cost to them. For many purposes, it's no different of a relationship than the one between a random underpaid restaurant server and random demanding customer.

When you say "users can [then] make an informed decision [on your monetized project]", I assume the informed decision you're referring to is "I'll never pay money," because that's what it is about 99% of the time.
Ethereum made the switch from PoW to PoS in 2022. It was called The Merge https://ethereum.org/roadmap/merge

It’s unlikely that Bitcoin will ever do the same, for the same reason Ethereum was created separately in the first place: they (BTC community in general) don’t want to add or change anything, because they perceive that as diminishing its value. Oh well.
If it's so simple why don't we see regional manufacturers popping everywhere?

Saberhagen's other Dracula novels are a lot of fun, esp. _The Homes--Dracula File_.
That's very much not been my experience. I learned to play when I was in grade school, took most of a decade off during college and early 20s, then picked it back up.

I also had an enforced multi-year hiatus when I broke my arm at age 35.

I might need to do some extra drills and practice to get back to where I had been, but the fundamentals never left. Like riding a bike - might be out of shape, but I still know how everything works.
Steve Jobs. Let’s be honest the dude was eccentric and “cool” to the people who bought apple products.

Apple is just a ginormous megacorp now. Not even just a megacorp.

Like, yeah the MacBooks are nice and the phones work well enough. But can I be honest? They’re not that cool.

All these mega corporations know they are in the enshittification phase. That’s why all the products are bland. There is no soul at all. All the marketing is woke and cringe (I’m a brown dude btw) and doesn’t even reflect reality let’s be honest unless you’re in some Truman show headspace.

What happened to the translucent back covers on a Mac? Why aren’t there different colors that are actually appealing? You guys remember the iPod and its various colors right?

What happened to the silhouettes of people dancing while enjoying an apple product instead of weird looking people in some dystopian cyberpunk looking ads that do nothing to evoke wonder or awe.

Sorry but that’s my view on it. Maybe I’m off base I don’t give a f. All I know is I’m not impressed. I just hold apple stocks because they’re a monopoly now. Not because I buy their latest products.

My theory is that apple is trying to market to Asians (Indians and Chinese especially) where the culture is not individualistic. I’m Asian myself and it’s noticeable in our cultures at a high level. It’s all conformity and stay in your lane! type of mentality.

I miss the 90s and early 2000s when American companies made products for Americans. They extruded individuality and people all over the world did look up to that level of coolness. Now it’s all just hues of gray and boring.

They all use evil-mode for Vim emulation. So it's just their choice of defaults and configuration style that sets them apart. Doom might have a slight edge with a focus on performance.

They definitely do rework modern games. I don't know if it's still technically EA but No Man's Sky gets massive patches regularly. MMOs also get game changing updates.
I'm more surprised they haven't bought a smallish car maker with proven automotive engineering experience that is already making EVs and then focus on the software and self-driving aspects. Polestar would have been a nice fit and Apple could easily afford it.
> The carrier thing was true, but they could have launched outside the US. Instead they found a carrier desperate enough.

That’s not quite how that happened. They were turned down and laughed out of the room by nearly every carrier they approached. The only one that didn’t was AT&T; but they definitely weren’t “desperate” at the time.

They had lots of leverage, which is how they got exclusivity.
> I didn’t buy the game - while that would be the right thing to do, it’s like buying an album after you’ve downloaded it...

So, by your own admission you stole the game and you expect Nintendo to be ok with that? I'm sympathetic to you not wanting to have a Switch just to play Nintendo games, but your moral high ground disappeared the instant you decided to not pay for a copy of TOTK.

I agree, people within corporations need to be held responsible for their actions.

But a big part of why that isn't happening is that when people kill people from behind the shield of a corporation, we can't even get people to agree that anything should be done about it, because "they were just following incentives". And any attempt to change the incentives is met with "but how can they do business if they're expected to comply with these onerous regulations" or "but that's socialism!". Instead, we're just supposed to trust that if it made money for a corporation it must have been good, because the invisible hand of the market would never allow it to be otherwise.

Until we break the idea that corporations are good by default, it's going to be hard to persuade people that going after people within a corporation for their wrongdoing is a good idea.

They are oversaturating their products with internet-based LLMs. It is a desperate attempt to milk all possible potential value from their smart investment.

> For example, they've developed this incessant habit of trying to remove basic and often loved features in order to save a buck (ports, headphone jacks, mag-safe cables, glare-free screens, escape keys and other buttons, etc).

Half of those are wrong - they reversed the Ives decisions about ports, MagSafe, and the escape key, etc. — and it’s unclear that your personal preferences are as widely shared as you’re claiming. All phone manufacturers have been removing headphone jacks, for example, since it makes them more reliable and the models with headphone jacks didn’t start selling better. I haven’t seen any data supporting that as a major disappointment for customers.
When you file a lawsuit, you make it seem like the biggest thing since WW2, because it'll be cut down in court over time to a more reasonable level.

The Vision Pro is a flop. I can't remember when Apple has had this bad of a product. Maybe those messed up keyboards on MacBooks years ago?
i think they got greedy with the app store. it _used_ to be "customer experience", now it is "MOOONEEEYYYYYY!!!!!!!!".

see how they reacted to the EU regulation requirements. they just want to keep competition out at every imaginable cost. sensible, from a business perspective, yet from a _users_ perspective not the most agreeable move. i want to have devices again which i actually _own_, not devices i'm "allowed to use" as long as they don't cancel my account.
This is a lot of speculation about the brain and how memories are recorded, by someone with no apparent training on the subject, and with no sources cited.

Maybe they're right. But I'd prefer more reliable sources, which other commenters here have provided.
I got the impression that the Vision Pro was less well-baked than previous forays into existing fields, like the iPod -- but maybe I'm wrong as I have not tried it myself, and am only parroting what I've read
