What amount of goodwill Nintendo burns away is more than made up for by them continuing to make good games. I am confident that there is quite literally nothing they can do as a company to hurt their reputation enough to be fiscally damaging, save from actually making bad games. And even that doesn't seem to be an impediment to them (see also: the Pokemon mainline games).

They'd have to have a string of probably 10 consecutive years putting out absolute dogshit before they'd get even close to feeling the pain.

As much as I love Lua its very difficult to shoe-horn into an 8-bit CPU, especially with limited RAM... but there are other efforts to bring more modern languages to these platforms, and one that strikes me as interesting is dflat, from 6502Nerd:

https://github.com/6502Nerd/dflat/wiki

(See language description here: https://github.com/6502Nerd/dflat/wiki/2.-Language-Descripti...)

Maybe something like this could evolve/be adapted for continued modern development needs?
I know what the symbols mean and their original purpose. No one has answered why Windows and apparently only Windows acts like this. It’s not like Windows is the only platform that cares about hysterical raisins.
Canon was only a camera company when it started, but by the 1960s was moving into other markets like lenses, magnetic heads, photocopiers, fax machines, etc.

Kodak could have diversified like that too, but they didn't. They were positioned badly because they concentrated almost all their efforts on film and nothing else. Of course, part of this is probably due to American business culture compared to Japanese; Japanese businesses tend to be much more diverse and long-term in thinking, but regardless, Kodak did this to themselves.
I do not see any relation between effectively static strain gauge versus force measurements and the "feel" of riding a bike in terms of high frequency vibrations. The rest of the video is just the confidently stated opinions of a random person.
That reminds me ... You know how LLMs have a hard time being corrected? If I ask it not to format responses as bullet lists, after 1-2 rounds it does it again. Why? Because the context is filled with examples where it has used bullet lists, and it acts like an attractor.

I ask it not to start phrases with "However..." and it does it again. Maybe just having the word However in the prompt acts like an attractor that compels the LLM to use it, even when I actually asked the opposite. Probably also the fault of heavy handed RLHF telling it to balance any user position with the opposite take.
For a slowly increasing number of use cases, Lattice is starting to change that. Not quite Cyclone IV, but the ECP5 can be pretty decent for the price. Over time I think their new CertusPro-NX line is going to become interesting.
> You can either have a very loose federation of a lot of individuals running their own infrastructure like in the early Internet on one end of the spectrum or a couple of big companies that essentially run everything like we have now with Google and Meta.

Or you could have thousands of medium-sized companies that each operate nodes that interoperate with each other even though none of them is the size of Google or Meta, and users could choose one based on whether they want to see ads or pay a few bucks a year, or run their own if they're into that sort of thing.

> It just so happens that you need a certain amount of infrastructure to implement it, which is true of everything, even email.

The infrastructure you need for email is any functioning general purpose computer, including ones you can find in the trash, and a domain name, which you can also get for free if you really want to and in practice costs around $15/year to do it properly. Anyone with the inclination can do this and many solitary individuals actually do.

The infrastructure you would need for this thing would be even less, because the premise is that you already have an email address/provider, so all you'd really need is the ability to map a port so you can make a direct connection to the other endpoint -- or IPv6.

Whereas the infrastructure you need to participate in the PSTN... I think you're required to be a CLEC to even have a block of numbers assigned. If all you had to do was install Asterisk on the trash PC it would be something else entirely, but the telcos do a lot of regulatory gatekeeping, which is another reason the legacy phone network should be decommissioned and replaced by a modern IETF protocol.

It's far more work to create a free for all platform (what US & EU governments want) than a single product that has no external specifications.

Let's say there is an emergency breaking fix that is needed to make NFC payments reliable. Instead of just pushing the fix asap for Apple Pay, Apple would need to comply with these regulations and have to make sure other companies who implemented an Apple Pay competitor also have time to do the fixes. Imagine spending Apple employee hours coordinating this without any compensation to Apple. You'd have to beg 3rd party implementations to update their payment setup asap. Otherwise, the government/media might accuse Apple of unfairly favoring their own.
Or well, it does exist. But maybe more in the "ant hill" sense than feels comfortable to admit.

Certainly not. Cue FAAMG being repeatedly beaten to submission.

GitLab Inc. is a U.S jurisdiction company hosting on U.S providers. DMCA probably won't apply to e.g Codeberg e.V, although they might need to stop serving content to U.S clients based on geo the same way non-EU companies have to comply with GDPR when serving EU clients.
Indeed. Maybe there should be a setting for this functionality so you can turn it on/off according to your preferences.

Wondrous oddities: R's function-call semantics (2006)
Looks like most of the ones I'm on use mailman.
Desperation = low wages = more profit!
i run several mailing lists for my community. it's a pain. of all my self-hosted projects, mailman 3 gives me the most ongoing trouble. it's a very complicated piece of software and it's running in an increasingly hostile internet. i literally just spent an entire day finally setting up ARC and learning arcane things about how DMARC and SPF validation will still fail when you've ARC-signed your mailing list messages, but it's okay because lots of providers (really, gmail) will give you "points" for the ARC signing, but also you still should enable conditional DMARC mitigations in case the sending domain has a very restrictive DMARC policy, at which point mailman 3 will munge your From headers making list replies get all janky and confusing for all your non-technical participants.

i don't want to be on a mailing list for a bunch of random unrelated people who don't know each other and have no reason to be civil to each other. mailing lists for shared projects make sense, and mailing lists for people who otherwise are somehow engaged in community. a mailing list for random people sharing cool ideas honestly sounds it will either totally die, or will first become really controversial and THEN totally die. even in my social circle, some of the mailing lists i ran were torn apart by politics and people splintered off to start their own mailing lists without the people with "problematic" opinions, only to learn that the "problematic" opinions were what fueled the whole shebang.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted (upvoted to counter). I assume you mean the notifications of Google Photos (and not disabling notifications altogether). I don't see any legitimate use for them so might as well just turn them off.

Edit: It doesn't change the fact that the behavior is creepy though. Maybe that's the criticism.
No, the part that's really bad is that they lock up features behind software locks, but these aren't that hard to break for hackers. But then they get laws passed which make it illegal to change these features on your car, or even to tell other people how to do so.

How the DMCA hasn't been struck down by the Supreme Court as an abridgment of the 1st Amendment, I really don't know.
Their political connections not only helped them further the fraud but also avoid any investigation.
Imagine you have a big enum in Rust, for example an Error, with a dozen or more variants.

When maintaining related code, for example a Display implementation, or routing to some behaviors, it's sometimes much easier when it's alpha sorted: you immediately see what's implemented or not.

That's when you can hit the codesort shortcut to have this specific list (enum variants, match arms, etc.) sorted.
Excellent question. I would say that this breaks GDPR principle #2, 'purpose limitation'. See e.g. https://www.cyberpilot.io/cyberpilot-blog/data-protection-pr....
> Creationism doesn't explain anything.

How so? For that to happen you'd need to have the usual "evolution-is-science-and-creationism-is-religion-which-denies-science" stance, no?

There are creationist scientists, there is "creationism-proving", or at the very least allow "creationism-compatible" evidence in science, and so on. Let's reduce it even more, science hasn't been able to disprove Creation.

Believing "God did it" should not invalidate science, wanting to understand more, and actually making experiments. On the contrary, it should encourage it, as it did with many scientists who, in a way, brought us to where we are.

And as other commenters say, your computer program would prove absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things, primarily because micro-evolution (which can easily be understood as a feature of Creation) does certainly not imply macro-evolution or abiogenesis.
These apps usually simply refuse to work without permissions, so this is not a solution. Empty/fake permissions are easily detectable too. Someone will make a “framework” for that and we’ll see it in most important apps.
That's flatly wrong. Each successive token costs progressively more. The deeper a token is in the sequence, the more past states it has to attend to. As a proof, just remember how slow it gets when the context is large, and how snappy when you first start a chat.
How do you get the historical data?
No… I like my iPhone and get mad when people want the government to force Apple to change how it works. I like how it works now, which is why I bought it.
> I've never heard of employers using it to check candidates' salaries, though. They usually just ask as part of the interview process.

As a Scandinavian employer, I can tell you that the tax records are very useful. Especially for higher-end roles it is very nice being able to check how much people have been earning from a reliable data source. I'm pretty sure many are using that a lot.
The thread there complains, there is another one on that platform that is more "uncensored":

Their hard stance on emulation might be exactly why it's one of the most successful consoles of all times, no?
Excellent video, thanks!
Your command line solution doesn't give quite the same result as OP. The final output in OP is sorted by the count field, but your command line incantation doesn't do that. One might respond that all you need to do is add a second "| sort" at the end, but that doesn't quite do it either. That will use string sorting instead of proper numeric sorting. In this example with only three output rows it's not an issue. But with larger amounts of data it will become a problem.

Your fundamental point about the power of basic shell tools is still completely valid. But if I could attempt to summarize OP's point, I think it would be that SQL is more powerful than ad-hoc jq incantations. And in this case, I tend to agree with OP. I've made substantial use of jq and yq over the course of years, as well as other tools for CSVs and other data formats. But every time I reach for them I have to spend a lot of time hunting the docs for just the right syntax to attack my specific problem. I know jq's paradigm draws from functional programming concepts and I have plenty of personal experience with functional programming, but the syntax and still feel very ad hoc and clunky.

Modern OLAP DB tools like duckdb, clickhouse, etc that provide really nice ways to get all kinds of data formats into and out of a SQL environment seem dramatically more powerful to me. Then when you add the power of all the basic shell tools on top of that, I think you get a much more powerful combination.

I like this example from the clickhouse-local documentation:

$ ps aux | tail -n +2 | awk '{ printf("%s\t%s\n", $1, $4) }' \
| clickhouse-local --structure "user String, mem Float64" \
--query "SELECT user, round(sum(mem), 2) as memTotal
FROM table GROUP BY user ORDER BY memTotal DESC FORMAT Pretty"

So because you can't pirate you won't buy? Why should Nintendo care? Not like they would've made money on you anyways. I'm sure your kids appreciate your moral stronghold when you explain to them why they can't play Mario with their friends.

It isn’t just your employers that are selling your compensation. Many give copies of W-2 and paystubs to companies that loan them money (e.g., for mortgages and auto loans). Some of these companies then sell this data to aggregators.

So why is there such a difference between my experience, and the experiences of the other posters here, so different to yours? Could it be that there's something about your situation leading your experience to suck that I'm not having?

I'd put my money on buying cheap devices and painting your experience with them in broad strokes on the technology as a whole. After all, if you have no faith in the tech, why spend money on a good experience? After all, why would $5 earbuds from Walmart have a different experience to a quality pair of headphones for a few hundred dollars to pair with your nearly thousand dollar smartphone?

I don't mean to gatekeep good Bluetooth, because try as I might I can't get my mom to stop getting her own and let me buy the expensive stuff for her, but she still manages to reliably get her Bluetooth paired, connected and working at the start of the phone call whenever I call her despite using budget headphones.

She does have a Pixel though. But it's just the budget one.
Thank you for your perspective and sorry for the silly question: can't stupid people be booted from a mailing list? I assume well-intentioned spammers to get around any ban, but I imagine an invite-only mailing list can be told to drop everything sent or received from a particular email, no?

My naive hope is that a mailing list with 10 strangers will not devolve into utter chaos immediately. It might fade into irrelevance, sure, but that is just how entropy works.
They're called dehumidifiers. This idea has been debunked more times than I can count.

No amount of good tooling can compensate for bad reasoning. Good commit messages are ones that fit in how the team/organization handle versioning so work can be parceled and context recovered with minimal cognitive load for all parties involved.

Shoving another vendor in the chain because the demo looks great is a sign reasoning is not so great. This kind of layering poorly though out fixes is how most mudballs I've encountered have grown.
> Quiet-STaR: Language Models Can Teach Themselves to
Think Before Speaking

This paper suggests that a large language model should "think ahead" by predicting not only the next token but also a "supporting thought." The approach involves generating all tokens simultaneously, allowing for a single forward pass that produces both the next token and a supporting thought, which might consist of, for example, 16 tokens.

This supporting thought influences the model's prediction. The process is then extended to multiple supporting thoughts by ingeniously masking cross-attention between thoughts to ensure their independence. So in essence we can fill all the remaining context with supporting thoughts and benefit from all of them in the same single forward pass.

The supporting thoughts themselves are trained with the objective to maximize the probability of a longer sequence ahead, using RL. So they are trained to optimize for longer-term, instead of the myopic next token prediction task.

This. And it actually doesn't even need to be done through SMTP.

MMS being basically SMS with a link/url to where the phone fetches multimedia part from - it could also be sent via older EMI-UCP (that was originally used for pagers).

At some point pre 2010 (when I worked in Routo Messaging - now called Telesign) we also got an SS7 connection - so we could finally start doing stuff like a real mobile operator/provider.
Doesn't look like you need anything fancy here.

Load you time serie in a dataframe, and:

> - Variability: how "spread out" are the data points from one another?

So basically df.std(), with rolling variants for short term / long term.

> - Trend: direction of data path, up or down?
- Slope: are the data points increasing or decreasing?

Just do a simple rolling linear regression of your data point against time.

https://startfromzero.com "Where Entrepreneurs Get Their Start When They Have No Ideas..."

Dane Maxwell teaches/uses a concept called Idea Extraction:

1. Pick a niche.

2. Contact that niche and let them tell you the pains worth solving.

Idea Extraction is a form of market research, which is important to ensure you don't build something no one wants to buy.

However, I would argue marketing/sales is more important than the idea itself. You can make money selling products/services that already exist; no need to build something new!

For example, one common mistake is to start marketing after your product is completed; you should start marketing even before you begin development!

What about it do you not get? I said it’s an inconvenience but not a huge issue. There are many ways of getting around it and iMessage only exists because of the way carriers used to charge for texting. I clearly said I wish it wasn’t the case but it’s just not impactful enough to me to really care about it. You’ll notice that most iPhone users don’t really care about the way android runs or works but a whole lot of android user seem to get really offended that iPhones aren’t androids and that iPhone users don’t care about that.
But does the overall cost of these 'WindWings' recoup over the lifetime of cargo ship. Including the fact that they can now carry less cargo per trip. And the trip might take longer due to 'route optimizations'. Insurance is probably also going to be higher now that you have giant sails on top of the ships that makes it both more expensive but also i suspect less safe in rough seas(even when folded).

I feel that is the only true measure otherwise cargo ship builders are not inclined to build more of these.
Can you elaborate what you mean?

I may be misunderstanding what you intended but how do you use traditional means of payment (credit card) without an identity? How do you check your email without identity?
I had something similar once - it was a graph of connections between all the artists in my Spotify library to see who had collab'd with who. It was a lot of fun to see just how distantly connected two artists were through a long chain of collabs and collabs. Of course, like most human connection maps, it mostly came down to a handful of super-connectors who collaborate with hundreds of people, who in turn collaborate with their own niche groups. But there were some interesting groups revealed by it.
If you cared so much about this, you were probably pirating anyway. I'm sure Nintendo doesn't care much about whether you will "boycott" them or not.
