That's a pretty small selection of well-known AAA games. Those few examples really don't change the general skew towards using 3rd party engines these days vs. few games doing something like that in the 90s. And in fact, most of these engines have also been reused between games (with heavy modifications of course - e.g. Remedy's Northlight engine has been evolving since Alan Wake 1).
The AI safety we deserve
"Car supremacy is being challenged" sounds to them like "fuck you and how you get around town," and it's unsurprising they react emotionally to that.

Assuming it is a personal attack is not rational though.

According to the article, there are apparently 40 years of studies showing these business owners that bike lanes are good for business. Business owners are usually trying to make good business. What other selling points do they need?
Russia obviously had been interfering in Ukraine politics. Why do you think the president fled to Russia?

Ukraine even at that point had long wanted to escape Russia's malign influence, banning their language is a declaration of that desire.
But gemini specifically says "i will refrain from providing examples involving concepts since you are under 18" and proceeds with solutions using other language mechanisms
They discuss this in the video, and if you watched it you’ll notice that they’re doing these projects along a major river near the ocean. They only capture 15% or so of what is today run off into the river. Rivers ultimately flow into the ocean. There is no one really downstream depending on that small percent of runoff.
Just because Google has a couple of decent services that you're willing to pay for doesn't detract from the fact that most of their products have a worse life expectancy than a victorian child in the 1800s. https://killedbygoogle.com

They ruined every single opportunity to be more than an advertising company since Orkut. With scrapped attempts, starts and lack of intention for most of the 2010s to even during the early half of the Pixel Era, they seemingly haven't learnt to stick to something and iterate on it well.

And the fact that over 50% of their revenues come from search and by extension, advertising.

The fact' that til this day, they still haven't evolved from the "throwing shit at the wall then at the fan" strat which explains how they have fumbled so much so quickly.

I apologize if that's what I implied, that was not my intent; I'm definitely not looking to put blame on regular Russians or anyone else.

I'm just asking a naive geopolitical question of whether we should in general be talking about countries being at war (and I just offered Russia vs Ukraine as an example), or whether it's more appropriate to think of wars as being between leaderships/militaries, whereas the rest of either country should be considered generally uninvolved? Or if "it depends", where should that line be?

You broke the site guidelines badly and repeatedly in this thread. We have to ban accounts that do that. Regardless of how right you are or feel you are, please don't do this again.

Others have been breaking the site guidelines too, of course, and I'm posting moderation replies to a few of them—it's not possible to respond to them all. I just mention this to make clear that the moderation in this case has nothing to do with which side you're arguing for or against. It has to do with your obviously breaking HN's rules, which is not ok.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Ah I've just found the filters, that's helpful. It's definitely not where I'd expect them to be; top right is where I'd expect sign in etc to live. They might be more discoverable with a text label right above the grid of templates, so they're in close proximity to the thing they're filtering.

Not the original poster, but I learn best reading textbooks cover-to-cover.
A couple things that help me:

1) I buy physical textbooks and absolutely destroy them with notes in the margins, highlighting, etc. It helps me to interact with the material instead of letting it wash over me, which means I'm both thinking about it more in-depth and as side effect I'm less bored. Otherwise I'll fall asleep and won't learn anything.
2) I accept that I'm not going to remember the entire book. A lot of books are most useful as references anyway. But if you ever find yourself going, "Oh that's really handy to know," then you can make a special note of it or even put it into flashcards. I've been using Anki. The trick is to recognize what is actually worth doing this for.
3) If something is especially worth knowing, (see point 2), see if you can either do problems from the book or try out the concept in some way if there are no problems available.

If you're reading something just because you feel like you should, you won't get anything out of it (or a least I don't).
you should buy some... or Moneros would be even better

I started buying in 2017... a bit late

>> I receive a fair amount of email from strangers. My email address is public, which doesn’t seem to be a popular choice these days, but I’ve received enough inspiring correspondence over the years to leave it be.

When I receive a GPG encrypted email from a stranger, though, I immediately get the feeling that I don’t want to read it. Sometimes I actually contemplate creating a filter for them so that they bypass my inbox entirely, but for now I sigh, unlock my key, start reading, and – with a faint glimmer of hope – am typically disappointed.

One thing that we did with distributing certain copyright-protected textual material was to scramble them at the paragraph level.

If you take every paragraph in the Harry Potter saga and sort the paragraphs in alphabetical order, it's just as good for training short-context-window models, but not a "harm to the market" leading to a lost sale for anyone who wants to read the books.
Super odd message since the stack v2 seems to be exclusively code and The Pile is (mostly?) text.
Thanks, finally some thoughts about how to solve the issue. In particular, email based login/account reset is the main important use case I can think of.

Do bots that follow links in emails (for whatever reason) execute JS? Is there a risk they activate the thing with a JS induced POST?
Yup, again, yet another thread that devolves into android people doing the 'brainless apple sheeple' meme. It's fucking offensive and it's literally any thread that mentions apple. I wish Dang would crack down - this is not good discourse, it's not making HN a better place.

There is the same problem with NVIDIA, all NVIDIA threads eventually devolve into "people too dumb to buy AMD like me" as well, but, with apple there isn't even a slope, it's right into it from the outset.

We have just utterly normalized this sort of conduct from some of these fanboys to the point where it doesn't even register with most people. We just have taken it as the inherent nature of Android fans to be offensive like this.

Perhaps it is their nature. People with poor social skills self-selecting to the nerdy phone, etc. I have been leaning more and more to this theory after seeing it in thread after thread after thread - people simply cannot restrain themselves even here on HN. But oh gosh you can't say those things back! how uncivil! how dare I soil our sacred discourse of "brainless sheeple buying it for the blue bubbles" etc.

But there's no reason for the rest of us to tolerate it. It's shitty discourse. But it's so utterly normalized that everyone just shrugs and looks past it.
I probably would, even though logically I shouldn't. My phone is unlikely to work in 4 years, so what does it matter if someone touches it (my phone my have private information that lasts longer, but the phone itself is throw away), similar for my laptop though I expect it to last longer. My bike is a tool, don't break it, don't steal it, or otherwise abuse it; but it gets scratch by dirt all the time, I don't care about fingerprints.

I live where road salt destroys cars, not someone touching it. Yet somehow people think it is important to have a nice car even though it won't be nice in a few years no matter what. It isn't even worth the investment in keeping a car nice - regular washes keep the rust away for not very much longer.

This is sometimes true for any one given app but it's not a good overall outcome.

It is why we have today multi-GHz CPUs with lots of cores and dozens of GB of RAM and yet... most actions feel less responsive today than in 1995 with a 120MHz CPU, 1 core and 1MB.
I appreciate your more substantive contributions to the thread, but you've also broken the site guidelines a lot, such as with snark and personal attacks. Can you please edit that sort of thing out of your HN posts in the future? I know it's not easy in the heat of the moment, but it's critical to the survival of this site, and it will also make your own posts a lot more persuasive.

Swedens defense budget for 2024 is 2.1% of GDP.

I'm my view, with the recent events, Sweden would need to spend at least 2% with or without NATO. Now we can spend 2% but get a lot more value out of it.
Your entire argument here is basing that people have a right to express an opinion on a social media site which is categorically false. They have the right to express an opinion, sure, as does the guy with the sticker. He does not have a right to a digital megaphone with which to do that: that is granted to him by a platform like Facebook.

We already have a solution to this. It’s called not including authentication information within URLs

Even if search engines knew to include it, would every insecure place a user put a link know it? Bad actors with their own indexes certainly wouldn’t care
Sony and Canon have well established and respected, widely used cinema camera product lines.

Nikon, presently, does not. You will not see Nikon cameras (video, not still image) being used for 'serious' film, tv or documentary production use right now.

Acquiring RED gives them this product line and capability.

I would also bet that if Jannard is a majority shareholder of RED, he's now 74 years old and wants to enjoy his retirement, so selling the company for a pile of money seems like a sensible move.
Simple solution: Don't use Gemini.
One thing that we can all be sure is that Google is going to launch this same product over and over again for the foreseeable future. This is like the third official iteration. If they don’t succeed at some point convincing at large that their product is at least as good as OpenAI’s, well then their whole search ads business is doomed.

Which I guess means even more YouTube ads.
Well, what's fun is that (AFAIK) trigonometric functions tend not to be implemented in the newer floating point instructions, such as AVX or SSE.

So while what you say is true about the x87 implementation of those functions, for anything targeting a machine built in the last 20 years it's likely the code will run consistently regardless the architecture (barring architecture floating point bugs, which aren't terribly uncommon in the less significant bits and when overclocking comes into play).

x86 compilers won't use x87 instructions when SSE2 and later are available. x87 is just a really weird and funky instruction set that's best left in the gutter of history.
I've been a NCO, infantry. Not in the US though, so my claim (i.e. cops are way better at handling civilians than soldiers due to fewer "bad apples") might be inaccurate if there is a big difference.

My main point is that people seem to severely underestimate what the police deal with. I would not think that soldiers as a group would cause more problem than say Walmart clerks (lets pretend they would get proper training) if given weapons and power to patrol subways.

I've made this argument a lot of times with friends. I hyperbolically claim that the average police is a better person than a Walmart clerk, and I got a lot of shit each time. There is this saying that "power corrupts" but I rather believe that "power gives the ability to show that you are corrupt".

Among Walmart clerks there are probably people that really really can't "take shit" that would never pass basic training of soldiers due to anger management issues. So like, the claim could probably be 'cops > soldiers > Walmart clerks' in handling civilians without bad outcomes.

Gemini seems to be a sterling example of what happens when you don't take any AI safety (in any definition) seriously as a substantive thing, but do take presenting an image of AI safety as a "we have to do this" checklist item.
I didn’t have much formal maths beyond 17, just a year of university statistics. I think it paid to spend some time studying linear algebra and statistics (reading Taleb’s books helped make it a more interesting journey), learning to read mathematical notation, and just getting kind of comfortable with the field so that you know when to ask an expert, but you don’t need to go very deep. Most AI professionals probably spend most of their time on data wrangling and engineering, not using any advanced maths. And then in order for their teams to achieve anything useful they need to work with “business” people who have domain knowledge. Also most ML algorithms I’d say can be grasped conceptually without being a big maths person, and then you have a sense of where to apply them. But over the years, you’ll pick up a lot of stuff anyway. Plus, with modern LLMs, it’s anybody’s game frankly.

There might be some really tough maths on that course, but I’d argue it’s not exactly necessary. There’s undoubtedly a lot of people doing high paying “AI” related jobs whose main qualification is being able to identify a use case and coordinate a project staffed by engineers and data scientists.
Quoting excerpts is different from transcribing an entire work, which is unambiguously copyright infringement. (Otherwise you would find the “book” version of any and all TV shows on Amazon.) The subtitles in question are generally translations, which likewise fall under copyright, being a derived work.

I mean it's literally just planting trees, grasses, and shrubs. This isn't dumping a cargo ship of iron filings into the sea or putting a solar sail in front of the sun, it's putting seeds in the ground. If you want to call that "technology" I suppose it's technically true, but it's almost laughable.
@dang: wondering why this deserves to be flagged?
We have representative democracy in Sweden and something like 88% of representatives wanted Sweden to join NATO. There were debates but it gets a bit pointless when such a huge majority agree on it.

In what forum would you want to see more debates on the topic? Hearing a debate between two guys who wants the same thing seems pointless.
The citation is the video linked to that you’re commenting on. This isn’t tree planting greenwashing. This is engineered and planned, but it involves local people tending the land and turning it into continuously productive soil for profit. Greenwashing tree planting fails because it’s untended unplanned work. In this video they go through all the steps they take, including analyzing contours and building the water retention berms along them, the phasing of the work from basic planting to trees with crops interspersed etc. It’s really worth watching it.
Parking Up the Wrong Tree: On Henry Grabar's "Paved Paradise"
I think its more like the mid twit meme.

The idiots & geniuses would respond "I dunno, it's complicated".

The big middle reasonably high IQ "smart person" will ascribe causation based on what they are most familiar with.

Macro guy will point at rates, fundamental guy will point to some specific earnings season themes, quant guy will be like "momentum meltdown", sell side desk guys will have some flows explanation, etc.

The answer is really some unknowable combination of "all of the above".

Yes, but it's totally possible to buy European jet-style helmets. You can order them from any fire supply. I know only one guy who uses one, he's British, and gets made fun of constantly for it.

You never see them because the 1780 leathers look, and I quote, "cool as fuck, bro". You'll get guys spending $1000 of their own money to get a leather NYC style helmet that is less safe than the one supplied by their company.
