BTW, ChatGPT knows P5js pretty well. You can ask things like, "Write a P5js app that draws a sine wave and lets me control the phase." and out pops a working program with a slider to change the phase of a plotted sine wave.

I used this to build a design tool to create an irrational phased balanced rotary magnetic bow.

I was cutting and pasting big chunks of code between the P5js editor and ChatGPT in both directions. It would be super handy to have some sort of online P5js editor with ChatGPT integrated.

It doesn't have a field to specify which cryptocurrency you are mining. Which makes the "hash rate" field almost meaningless. This form won't even collect good data.
That doesn't solve grinding out the small company, though it does reverse the damage if they don't get ground out.

The problem is not the end payout, it's the base cost can't be afforded along the way.

One side can keep appealing and escalating, the other can't pay for the cases themselves.

They may not get far enough to win the pool.

You would have to have the lawyers work pro bono or some common legal fund pay for it until the case is won to get the pool.

As I pitched to another user, how about:

> for lawsuits, if you want to spend $5 on lawyer fees, you have to loan $5 to the other side.

> if the other side wins they don't have to pay back the loan.
Its my primary source of Schadenfreude, because whenever he says anything about insurance covering, i usually research it and come up with that it is covered.
While I don't know if this is really true, but there was a time when chips like the 8080 ran at a speed that was close to AM frequencies. Programmers figured out that certain patterns produced sounds on their radio. So they would insert garbage code that accessed the address bus at the right speeds.

Perhaps this is something along those lines?

In that post and in those threads it seemed to only apply to owners of online platforms (like the EU digital markets act) and that was all that was discussed.

This thread is about a different aspect of the bill which is about regulating and punishing non-harmful word based "offenses" by human persons.

It is trope in legislation that is good and required to try to sneak in sections that are damaging and not required so both have to be passed. That seems to be the case here. It is good for this to be highlighted to potentially improve the bill.
I was a participant in their research project, which was run somewhat like a BBS.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Place_(company) says ""Better Place filed for bankruptcy in Israel in May 2013. The company's financial difficulties were caused by mismanagement, wasteful efforts to establish toeholds and run pilots in too many countries, the high investment required to develop the charging and swapping infrastructure, and a market penetration far lower than originally predicted by Shai Agassi."
>Concorde's commercial failure

I thought Concorde failed commercially because it couldn't get approval to fly over the US elsewhere over land because of sonic booms. I know reentering spacecraft cause sonic booms but thought that they occur high enough to not cause the same problems on the ground.

In this deeply nested Reddit comment, when someone said: "Imo emacs shines when editing, not writing.", I tried giving a few practical examples of how I use Emacs for writing plain text. I'm just gonna list the use cases without specifics, you can click the link below and find details of each package if you're interested. Note that this is a single aspect of things for which I use Emacs. Many other possibilities are abound.

Emacs is incredibly incomparable for writing. I don't even try to type anything longer than three words in anything else. I always try to find "edit-with-emacs" feature wherever I go - I built one for Mac, then I wrote one for exwm, then I did the same for stumpwm . I recently started using AwesomeWM, and now I have it there too. If I'm ever forced to work in Windows, I can promise you, finding a way to edit with Emacs would be the very first thing I will try to solve.

When I'm typing in Emacs, I have:

- Spellchecking. When I mistype the previous word, I would just tap the comma twice, and it autocorrects it. If I need to actually insert comma, I'd use comma and space (which I always do anyway)

- I have thesaurus.

- I have Google Translate, for which I don't even have to switch the keyboard layout, meaning if I want to translate from Russian, it would automatically switch the layout to 'ru' and back to English when it's done

- I can check the etymology and definition of any word.

- I can count the number of sentences, words and characters.

- I can keep an eye on my writing with writegood-mode, it can look for duplicate words and use of passive voce, and perform Flesch–Kincaid readability test.

- Until recently, I was using Grammarly to check the text, these days I simply send it to chat-gpt, and it even shows me the diff upon completion.

- I can toggle "distraction free, zen mode", for writing.

- I can launch a web search on any selected text.

- There are various ways how you can preview the markdown.

- You can write helpers like wrapping a region in a collapsible section, or create "code sections" without any hassle.

- You can edit the code sections in their language environment, with syntax highlighting and REPL.

From my podcast law degree, in civil action like this yes. To get standing you must show you were harmed in some way and that the court can remedy that harm. That is just one of many parts of the standing test that a federal court will apply.

Adobe have the same problem - it then becomes a self-perpetuating cycle, as people won't adopt the new software because they can't risk losing years of their work or their skills becoming irrelevant.

The only way both can stop this is by sticking to a product, for better or for worse, and then actually innovate, not sit still once they've wrangled competitors.

The pattern from a business perspective is so repetitive as to be tiring: Get involved with anything that threatens their core revenue source, suffocate or buy out competitors, then barely push the needle forward ensuring that disruption never comes from within.

I believe that if Google weren't so against self-disruption that much of the latest AI innovation would be entirely theirs to own.

Yay, tracking.

Who benefited? I assumed that while criticism is healthy, some calls for cancelling the aircraft were from adversaries. Easiest way to defeat the plane is to get Congress to kill it.
As an EU citizen, it does not sit well with my idea of a free democratic society to ban an interest group from making representation just because they refuse to subject themselves to what are little more than "show trials" conducted for politicians' own benefits.

The EU's institutions are on a wrong path, IMHO.
If people knew half of how consolidated their treatment was they would riot.

Most Americans experience first hand how horrible health care here is. No one can get upset at whatever little details are involved, however 'cause it's beyond them. Especially, you won't get people excited about more competition in a field where markets and competition seem neither logical nor have shown any benefit.

The complex referral system you describe basically results in turning regulated monopoly behavior into unregulated monopoly behavior. And this is the upshot of breaking up the original, regulated monopoly Blue Cross/Blue Shield, which provided adequate insurance in America's "Golden Era". Which to say that, imo, "restoring the free market" isn't a useful action in this mess. State controlled medicine is essentially the only solution to the already partly collapsed US health care system.
I'm on the tail end of my lifetime as well, and I hope that when I go, those I leave behind will celebrate the good I brought while I was here rather than mourn that my time has ended.

That our lifespans are finite is, in my opinion, a good thing to be embraced. That we die is what makes our time valuable and precious. I do not fear or dread my death, although I get nervous about the possibility that I may suffer on the way out.

I would be very saddened if anyone I leave behind felt compelled to build a fake version of me in order to pretend, in a way, that I am still with them. They would be doing themselves a disservice and possibly even harm. I don't want my existence to result in that.
Yuzu is open source isn’t it?

Nintendo can’t be completely incompetent here; if they get Yuzu shut down someone will inevitably fork it, and they have to know this.

Presumably this is a play to try and establish precedent. They know that this lawsuit means nothing in itself, even if they win, but it can then be used to go after Retroarch or Higan or Mupen64 or Dolphin. This is bad.
that depends on the sampling rate no? I would much rather have a rich log record sampled at 1% than more records that dont contain enough info to debug..
I was hoping this would be the belly-sliding game that I had on Mac OS X circa 2001. Someone made it with whatever new-to-MacOS tech to show off what could be done that wasn't possible on Mac OS 9 and I downloaded it from somewhere.

Was a fun third-person 3d racing game of some sort. Tux raced down a hill covered in snow on his front and you could steer around trees and rocks and such. My memory is probably getting the details wrong.

Edit: haunter had the answer. It was a port of TuxRacer.
Was the project Titan - the Apple car project - actually initiated by Apple execs & from the strategic PoV? I read the book "After Steve" [1] and I remember reading a section in which there was a lot of grumbling from employees about how Apple is not working on the latest & greatest R&D project and one of them was self-driving cars. Not sure how "strategic" it was and I guess the question is "What would have Steve done?" My call is he would've never jumped in the car game.

Agreed. A sensible enough judge could throw this out on summary judgement, circumventing the opportunity for Nintendo's lawfare. All of Nintendo's points have been tried, so there's really no need to bring this into argument. Even if all of their claims were true, they're not alleging anything illegal. Take it to court, ask for summary, and strengthen the legal defense for this kind of stuff. I really hope they don't roll over, even if nobody can blame them for doing so.

Good example with Cloudflare, and they offer an interesting flip side with Project Galileo, where they offer their Business tier product for free to groups they deem vulnerable:

> Any qualified vulnerable public interest site can seek participation in Project Galileo. Examples of participants include, but are not limited to, minority rights organizations, human rights organizations, independent media outlets, arts groups, and democracy protection programs.

The place I work for qualifies, and it has kept us afloat. It's another example where they change the landscape for a group they select (I'm just super glad they did).

> "Many employees" will be moving to jobs within Apple only insomuch as ~5% of 2000 people is arguably "many" (or whatever the size of the autonomous vehicle software team is).

I would expect the majority of the people on that team to be working on autonomous driving. So the software folks would be a good fit for genAI and most of the remainder would be mechanical and electronics folks working on the sensors who also have very transfer skills in a company that builds their own hardware.

From all the rumors I've heard Apple was never planning on building this car from scratch, so most those 2000 employees weren't focused on designing a car.
Oh yes. I don't bother watching them anymore. Initially, I was excited about the possibility of successful landing, after a while, I was secretly waiting for RUDs, but past the first Falcon Heavy launch with a pair of boosters landing safely at the same time, I started to feel they've solved automated powered landing and didn't tune in again until Starship trials.

Funny thing though: I occasionally see some old (like, 1970s old) book or comic cover with a rocket ship landed vertically, or most recently, such drawings in my daughters' books; I used to laugh at them being nonsense, but after first few successful booster landings, I'm no longer laughing. I'm ashamed to admit that our forefathers got that thing right, and Star Trek et al. got it wrong.

Also, one of the books my little daughter has a picture of Falcon 9 next to the usual lineup of Vostok-K / Saturn V / Space Shuttle lineup. I shed a few tears when I saw this - for the first time it really hit me that there was meaningful progress in space exploration that happened within my adult lifetime, a fundamental shift I got to see and follow closely as it developed, and which my kids will see as "just how the world is". Sure, same is true about the Internet and smartphones, but neither made me feel the generational perspective gap, the way SpaceX rocket landings (and subsequent uptick in space missions) did.

That doesn't make sense. Botw keeps like five autosaves and they're all separate files which are never written to at the same time. You'd have to manually delete them to lose them.
>Would be interested in links to the most personally compelling evidence (in either direction), for those reading.

Search for Craig's blog posts and computer security newsletter groups where he was active 15-20 years ago; he talks about P2P networks, hashing(Craig discusses how SHA-1 is vulnerable and not secure anymore), statistics(Poisson distribution, the same statistical model that was mentioned by Satoshi in the Bitcoin whitepaper).

I found some tids and bits that he and "Satoshi" have in common, plus Satoshi used British English and Craig is an Australian. All of this means nothing but either Satoshi is dead or this Australian guy has something to do with Satoshi and Bitcoin because he wouldn't be pushing so hard as Satoshi persona if he was't involved with Bitcoin in one way or another.

Craig also said couple of years ago that he will share his bank statement of him buy the original bitcoin.org domain but he still didn't do it. Again this would be indirect proof but Satoshi signing his private keys won't be happening anytime soon(and anyone can sign keys if s/he steals them, again indirect proof).
The tradition of passing nuts comes at least from the history of developing engines for Soviet Moon launcher, N-1. The engines used on all four launches, NK-15, were notoriously unreliable, and the suspicion was that their turbopumps, having quite tight clearances, sometimes had rotors touching walls during work. In oxygen-rich environment that led to engine fire. The engine which fixed those problems, NK-33, was working much better, and to demonstrate that it's robust for the problems like turbine misalignment, some metal parts, like nuts, were intentionally dropped into the propellant flow.

The only expensive part is the hardwarevfor the elastic servers. Kafka is cheap to run. We have an on prem elastic db pulling in tens of thousands of events per second. On prem servers aren't that expensive. It's really just 6 servers with 20tb each and another 40tb for backups. And it's not like you have to store everything forever... Compare that data flow to everyonevwatching youtube all the time. It's really nothing...
This works well for a while. But eventually you get big, and have little to no idea of what is in your downstream. Then every single format change in any event you write must be treated like open heart surgery, because tracing your data dependencies is unreliable.

Sometimes it seems that it's fixable by 'just having a list of people listening', and then you look and all that some of them do is mildly transform your data and pass it along. It doesn't take long before people realize that. 'just logging some events' is making future promises to other teams you don't know about, and people start being terrified of emitting anything.

This is a story I've seen in at least 4 places in my career. Making data available to other people is not any less scary in kafka than it was back in the days where applications shared a giant database, and you'd see yearlong projects to do some mild changes to a data model, which was originally designed in 5 minutes.

As for kafka being easy, It's not quite as hard as some people say, but it's both a pub sub system and a distributed database. When your clusters get large, it definitely isn't easy.
Sure, you can if you dedicate the resources to understanding the failure. What I saw personally is that is not always the case with SpaceX. In my experience, they changed a design and seemingly used that as an excuse to not further investigate the original design. (This was related to COPV failures. The general consensus seemed to be “we don’t need to understand why it failed because we’ve moved on to a different design.”)
> Why do you assume I live in the USA?

I don’t. I asked about lawmakers and laws.

I have in America, a few European states and India. The people who benefit from restrictions on lobbying are those with personal access to power. Because the lobbyists let the little people and those faraway get the access they believe they earned, bought or were born into.

I think many of these kinds of comments are driven by a form of insecurity. They subconsciously wish they had written the article and are envious of the attention the author is receiving… so they find whatever small nitpick they can in order to tear it down.
I don’t know that’s true. My last two very-not-meta-sized companies have both had systems that were very cost effective and essentially what the article describes. It’s not the simplest thing to put in place, but far from unapproachable.

I think on if the big hills is moving to a culture that values observability (or whatever you choose to call it, I prefer forensic debugging). It’s another thing to understand and worry about and it helps tremendously if there are good, highly visible examples of it.

Edit: Typo.
I work with people like that. I feel really lucky.
And if Nintendo spends $10 million dollars?

And Yuzu spends $25,000 and maybe wins the first case but runs out of money during the appeal and defaults judgment.

Nintendo gets the pot because they won right?

As I pointed out to another user, this reverses the damage if they win, but does not solve the problem of preventing them from being able to win.

Now if you make it where if you want to spend $5 on lawyer fees, you have to loan $5 to the other side and if the other side wins they don't have to pay it back, that may work.
> Concorde

Another good example is the space shuttle. It does actually glide back down. But it glides like a brick at first (1:1 during its initial braking into the atmosphere), and then like a less dense brick (2:1 while it's still supersonic), and then like a brick with shitty wings (a whopping 4:1 or whatever on final approach). Which is about what the Concorde is during landing, 4:1, yea.

Pretty crazy stuff

(Obviously the space shuttle was a tradeoff for, you know, getting it into orbit via rocket)
