Yes, Jupyter could work. I just fear there is things that except browser’s JavaScript APIs. Some I think aren’t even available for web workers. V8 workers are a different thing (I believe) and not at all familiar to me. But, it should be easy enough to test…

It's interesting to consider "AI as its own genre" rather than "AI replacing mainstream content" - like how cheap animation enabled the anime genre or cheap filmmaking enabled the indie genre.

There are usually real legal and procedural obstacles to doing this.

Games often contain third-party code that the studio doesn't have the rights to open-source, and may rely on privately licensed middleware binaries or NDA'd SDKs that you can't redistribute.

For a basic example, even Unreal Engine - which is practically open at present - still restricts its github repos to people who've agreed to their access terms.

Let's imagine you've jumped through all the hoops and have the legal right to release all the code for your game servers. The servers were probably designed to run in a particular environment with access to particular resources - your login servers, your user account database, etc. Do you need to open-source those too?

Let's imagine we're talking about a game like Destiny or Guild Wars where the server also needs access to a big collection of data files. Are you now going to dump a 50gb .tar.gz on a CDN and pay to host it for everyone who wants to download it? How long do you keep that up? Do you rely on the community to host a torrent for you, or rely on the Internet Archive to host it for free?

At the end of the day what you probably get is a bundle of c/cpp files where 75% of the headers they need are there, all the dll/lib files are missing, and once you start the server it's trying to connect to a bunch of services that don't work, and there's no documentation for any of it so the community needs to spend a year plus trying to reverse engineer all of this from what they have.

If a game is well-loved, the community will probably make do and eventually get it working, but it's very much not a "just release the code" situation if you want everyone to be happy. It's expensive and difficult.
I am not certain most people under 45 have ever heard of John Sinclair. But for me from the age of 12 until 45 he was constantly in the news in Michigan.

1. He beat the Nixon Justice Department who charged him with blowing up a CIA recruiting office

2. John Lennon wrote a song about him

3. He received nine years in prison for giving an undercover female narc two joints

4. He got the legendary Detroit band MC5 a recording contract and after their career took off his antics caused them to lose said recording contract

5. Founded the White Panther Party

6. Launched Iggy Pop's career

7. Created and ran the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival

I recently rediscovered recordings of the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz festival. He got some of the greatest artists of all time to perform in Michigan. Blues guys at the end of their careers who had never been outside the South.

You would know some of their hits which were appropriated (stolen) by some famous rock acts but you never get a chance to hear the original creators of this music perform it.

I always thought 'flash' was a holdover from early reprogrammable ROM technology, non-volatile memory that you could erase by literally flashing a literal flashbulb over a little window on the chip. I would've sworn in a court of law that I recall this being called "flashable" memory, that erasing it was called "flashing" it, and reprogramming it in general was called "reflashing" in a sort of synecdoche. And I'd have assumed that this was the fundamental origin of what became _electronically_ erasable ROM (EEPROM), which led to all the various NVRAM technologies we have now, with "flashing" sticking as the term for reprogramming it, even after you could do it electronically.

It looks like the story these days is that someone at Toshiba thought up the name out of the blue. I'm skeptical!

It honestly depends on what you work on for your argument.

In general, think about the general use case for all types of development. For example, I have a bunch of finance code. I host it on a Jupyter Lab server in notebooks, so I can run/edit it from anywhere.

If I want something that is fast (which in this case is rare to see outside of using pytorch), I can write a C extension quite easily - the amount of effort that it takes me to set up boilerplate code is the same amount of effort as it takes thinking about Rust memory semantics. The code will be quite isolated from the rest of the system (unless you purposefully try to break Python), and you don't really have to even do dynamic memory if you are trying to do processing. I did this at work with fast json parsing and data extraction, and it was super easy to do.

Then there is the whole ML aspect, which is first and foremost python before anything else. Especially in the whole data sets, with the fact that you can easily generate training data in Python, whereas other languages require a lot of custom code.

I'm a full-stack software developer, who has worked with .NET/C# for all my career so far (so a little over 9 years), not counting a year-long stint as a software tester. I'd be happy to work on on anything weird, unusual, niche, whether it's a less popular industry (I have a M.Sc. in chemistry), a unusual tech stack (if you're happy for me to learn it on the job) or just some small corner of a code that needs to be perfected for some reason. I don't mind weird hours as well, or occassional travel, and if the offer is really great, we can talk relocation - but I do have some roots where I'm currently living, so that wouldn't be easy.
Most of the retailers in my area have turned off the bag scale security. But I live in a pretty small town, so maybe theft is at an acceptable level where they’re willing to make that trade off. They’re also using more and more computer vision to ensure what passes into the cart is scanned (Everseen and others), so perhaps they’re finding better success with that than the bag scale.
Can you explain the desire? Is it just nostalgia? I just don't understand the need for a screensaver for a VR device. Do people idle long enough with the VR device worn for a screensaver to come on?

If this is made a legal requirement what will happen is that publishers jettison the studio responsible for dead GAAS titles and then they close the studio down so there's no one to hold responsible for this requirement.

Which already happens a lot, to be fair.
Can they change the title to say "Amazon walks out ..."
Such a good point I wish I’d included it in my original comment. Well said.
> undo all their planned obsolescence.

In no way is a game shutting down planned obsolescence. If the Fortnite servers are shut down that's not planned obsolesce, that game does not work and makes zero sense as a single play game. A publisher is not going to spend a ton of money working on a game with a plan to shut it down, they hope to milk it for money as long as they can.

I agree with single player games requiring always online, but I have not seen an example of this actually being the case that there was not a patch put out at the last moment to make the game not connect to a server anymore.

There is a major difference between a game requiring an online connection for a 100% single player game and an online games servers shutting down.

The first is bad and I agree and should never be a practice. The second is just reality.
Indie developers tend to be very OK with people running their dedicated servers. It's also cheaper for them.

The issue are the big publishers like EA, Ubisoft, Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft, where the goal is to squeeze every cent out of players.
I've recently gotten back into some C-64 retro gaming, and I can't help but think how impossible this would be if the technology were available back then that lets game developers "tether" their game's functionality to their own servers and kill the games by killing the servers.

Fully agree with the article. Ideally it should be a warranty return if the game stops working due entirely to a decision by the developer. It's simply a defective product. If the game really requires a server, there should be a way for end users to run the server if the game developer no longer wants to run it.
Why would they when they can just... not?

Part of the "offer" is that they must live their own lives freely in nature. I guess that implies that there's no maintenance cost for them. Cost to maintain nature on the other hand...
That's become a thing at Home Depot, and I do exactly the same. I wish all the self-checkouts would use guns. Once you get used to just putting things in the cart code-up, it makes checkout pretty painless.

Heck, I even do the 'leave the bags in the car' trick too. I'm going to be using the cart anyway, so why do the extra step at the checkout instead of just loading it directly into the bags in the car.

Glad to know I'm not the only person who thinks this is a good way to do it.
Not all games are CS1.6. Some game servers quite literally require access to tens or hundreds of gigabytes of game data, in addition to support from various login and database servers. It's possible to do the leg work to make all of this available to the community but it's not trivial, and it wouldn't be "no cost to the publisher".

The original Flying Toasters may be the classic, but the singing Flying Toasters from After Dark 3.2 will always have a special place in my heart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjlusi_h_XA

Flying out of the sun / The smell of toast is in the air / When there's a job to be done / The flying toasters will be there.

And it's flap! Flap! Flap! / Now help is on the way. / This vict'ry song they sing:

We pop up to save the day / On mighty toaster wings!

They'll say it's luck but it's really pattern recognition. Did you know volume profile has patterns that can help you determine price action before it happens? A p-shaped volume profile behaves differently from a b-shaped profile. Learning how to identify high and low volume nodes will make it easier to pick out key support/resistance levels. VPVR is a powerful tool if you learn how to manipulate it to your understanding.

I'm sorry you're getting yelled at, Overcooked is supposed to be fun. That game brings out who people are though, so it's a good proxy for how people will behave in other situations. If someone starts yelling at you and blaming you for failing, that's on them, not you. I'd use that to find someone who doesn't yell and blame you and become all shitty towards you, rather than not playing the game again.

This only demonstrates that the system is chaotic, not that there is no closed form solution.
Not quite... temperature and token selection are two different things.

At the output of an LLM the raw next-token prediction values (logits) are passed through a softmax to convert them into probabilities, then these probabilities drive token selection according to the chosen selection scheme such as greedy selection (always choose highest probability token), or a sampling scheme such as top-k or top-p. Under top-k sampling a random token selection is made from one of the top k most probable tokens.

The softmax temperature setting preserves the relative order of output probabilities, but at higher temperatures gives a boost to outputs that would otherwise have been low probability such that the output probabilities are more balanced. The effect of this on token selection depends on the selection scheme being used.

If greedy selection was chosen, then temperature has no effect since it preserves the relative order of probabilities, and the highest probability token will always be chosen.

If a sampling selection scheme (top-k or top-p) was chosen, then increased temperature will have boosted the likelihood of sampling choosing an otherwise lower probability token. Note however, that even with the lowest temperature setting, sampling is always probabilistic, so there is no guarantee (or desire!) for the highest probability token to be selected.

Does anyone know a similar article for the opposite case? Technical guy looking for a salesperson co-founder.

I think many of the points of the article still apply, especially regarding opportunity cost. A great salesman can make way, way more than a great engineer, so why would he want to join me?

And let's say I want to hire my first salesperson. How do I know who is good and who is not? For me as an engineer, everyone looks like a good salesman, because everyone is better than me (I suck at sales)
The government (at least in the US) is heavily involved in supporting the status quo here by blocking preservation efforts through DMCA.

Often times asking the government to take action means asking them to take their boot off your neck. It is important to take a moment to check what the issue is before assuming that asking the government to take action implies expansion of powers.
Back in the days when we got plastic shopping bags, I considered it an art form to see if I could get an entire trunk load of groceries into the house in a single trip. Without squishing the bread.

You can get a lot of bags on your arms, and one or two jugs of milk in each hand depending on how long your fingers are.

It just isn't as fun with the reusable folding bags. Or the paper bags some retailers use -- the ones with handles are the worst, they rip a good part of the time. Actually easier to carry a normal paper bag than one with handles.
My personal bias is that given the choice between a 2-3 hour flight between Sacramento, CA and Seattle, WA, and a very long drive that might have to cross snowy mountain passes - I've done both, and the difference between them is vast. People love to say that difficult things are easy.

I've also driven cross-country from the US west coast to the east coast. Flying is much, much easier. It's a completely different "can I take this trip" equation.
Mine consistently produces better rice than my old mechanical one. It's also slower. I think it does a more gentle temperature ramp than the mechanical one did.
All in Danish. It was a form of multi-modal learning. I was pairing the text to the sound and the visual input. I frequently needed to pause and translate the subtitles — often word by word — but I think the combination of the three helped quite a bit as it helped pair the sound with the image without translating to an intermediary language that I understood.
Yeah, the author is trying to see what would happen if they roll a can into the bag. This is meant to conceal the act from the computer. The act of concealing merchandise is all that is required in many jurisdictions. If they walked out without the concealing act, then I would think the error should be on the store.

There have been some cases of self checkout prosecution too. They don't need any proof of intent. Even regular errors can be prosecuted.
Count Dankula (yes, Nazi pug guy) did a good mini-doc on one of the worst offenders. Got me interested, and wow, this goes a lot deeper than I thought. Of course every sport has cheaters, but some don't seem to be as egregious.
Photogrammetry struggles with certain types of materials (e.g. reflective surfaces). It's also very difficult to capture fine details (thin structures, hair). 3DGS is very good at that. And people are working on improving current shortcomings, including methods to extract meshes that we could use in traditional graphics pipelines.
So kind of like a graphics transpiler?
It's not just their API that sucks, even simple stuff like their marketplace is horribly managed.

For shits and giggles I created an app for the marketplace and copied similar screenshots to what a competitor offered but then my application was rejected for not having proper screenshots. The app manager just responded that they had special privilege to not abide by any of the marketplace rules. Turns out they signed a pretty large deal with the competitor...

If anyone is interested in playing around with gravitational dynamics I highly recommend the REBOUND library [1]. It has a simple Python interface but under the hood it has a collection of research grade integrators. It came out around the time I was finishing up my PhD in gravitational dynamics, but if I were still in the field it's what I'd be using.

If you're curious what would happen to the Solar System if you made Jupiter 10 times more massive you can pip import the library and find out for yourself in about five minutes.

I may be wrong, but I think it's just heart rate and heart rate variability.
This is a complicated question.

In general, yes, you can absolutely put strong enough line on that will let you haul a fish straight out of the water dangling from it. It you fish for small fish (perch, bluegill, etc.), that's basically what you do every time. They are small enough that even the lightest line will still hold them.

The challenge, though, is that the stronger the line is, the more visible it is to the fish, and the less finesse you have when fishing with it. More visible line can spook fish and get you fewer bites. And a thicker, stiffer line can make it harder for you to work the lure in a realistic way that entices fish to bite.

So you're always making the trade-off where lighter line means more bites but a greater risk of not landing the fish if it breaks the line. Stronger lines mean fewer bites but if you get a hookset, you can probably land the fish.

There are other complications too: fish aren't the only thing in the water. Stronger line can help you not lose lures if it gets tangled on branches or other obstructions.

On the other hand, lighter line is more fun to fish with. You feel what the fish is doing much more clearly and the fight is more interactive. Catching a small fish using a big stiff fishing rod with heavy line feels like listening to music with earplugs in. You lose a lot of the experience.

Also, there are different kinds of line: monofilament, fluorocarbon, braid. And you don't have to use the same kind of line for the whole length. Sometimes it makes sense to have a leader (a short section of line at the end) that's lighter or heavier than your main line.

One of the delights of fishing is that it's an endless problem-solving exercise in gear optimization.
Around here the main difference is lower pricing on some items, so I mostly just buy those items somewhere else.

In addition to their functional purposes, screensavers are aesthetically pleasing, and experiencing them in 360° immersion for short periods of time is something some people would enjoy.
