I am a paying user and i actively avoid games with Denuvo - there is even a curator on Steam that marks games that use Denuvo, which is helpful for doing exactly that.

The reason is simple: i want to have access to the games i bought regardless of Steam and when i buy a game there i also make a separate offline copy for my own archival. Denuvo - or any DRM really - makes that impossible. Fortunately most games (like pretty much all indie games, which are what i mainly buy these days) have no DRM at all on Steam and the few that do make enough of stink for me to know and avoid them.

So yeah, Denuvo is reliable for making me ignore a game (until it is removed at least - amusingly enough that'd often be after a bunch of patches have been released and the game had a bunch sales/price drops)

I'd probably buy a game with Denuvo if i REALLY wanted to play it (e.g. i bought Prey 2017 despite Denuvo) but i'd do that only after the price has dropped to "sandwich levels" (e.g. i bought Prey 2017 at a handful of dollars). Note that i also put money where my mouth is and when a major game that i want to play is released on GOG (which has DRM-free games) i do buy it full price or close to full price.
Or it would seriously hurt US and EU universities. Is Western dominance of scientific academics automatic? Did we acquire it for free—no; it's the end-product of centuries of incremental cultural development, its openness and freedoms being core to that.

Imagine Google-founding era, except it was illegal for 1990's Stanford to research CS theory without a license, so they didn't. And later someone else founded it anyway, in a different country (which now became the world's preeminent tech center).

Let's put to a halt to these autoimmune attacks on our own civilization. This confusion that labels Western openness as a hazardous external substance.

The film's director, Kevin Smith, supports pirating the movie. He has tried to buy the rights but was scoffed at by the rights owner, Harvey Weinstein.

I recall watching it as a teenager and finding it funny and later in life wanting to reference a scene only to learn there is no legal way to watch it anymore. It feels wrong that something like a movie can be taken away from everyone.

Sidekick Money | Full REMOTE (UK-based only) | Multiple Roles | Full-Time | ~ £100k + Stock options | https://sidekickmoney.com

We're an early stage fintech startup working to bring elite wealth building and management facilities to a wider audience, that have up until now only been available to the top 0.1%, (think portfolio line of credit, access to alternatives, private equity funds, etc). Last year we were authorised by the FCA and subsequently rolled out the initial product. Since then we've released portfolio line of credit and are working on a couple of new products at the moment. We're now beginning to gather customer insights from this initial launch and are evolving the product rapidly. There's a ton to be built and we're looking for brilliant minds to build it with us.

We have multiple positions available:

* Backend Engineers (Python, Temporal, DynamoDB, Distributed systems)
* Product Designers

We're looking for people who are not afraid to jump into a very deep business domain and work in a regulated environment.
Apply at https://sidekickmoney.homerun.co/ and we'll be in touch soon.

Most of the researchers are specifically in a handful of big labs, most of which in turn are in the USA. As one who has done so, trust me when I say that relocation is harder than it seems on paper.

Also note that both California and the EU are economically dominant enough that they tend to influence regulation outside their own borders: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brussels_effect

Further note how many people signed the Pause letter: https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experime...

In addition, given how much training data current models need, there would be a huge impact just by a handful of governments siding with all the copyright holders suing OpenAI, Midjourney, Stability AI, etc.

And all that is without needing Yudkowsky's point that a ban isn't serious unless you're willing to escalate to performing airstrikes on data centres.

std::launder: the most obscure new feature of C++17 (2016)
>It's somewhat disappointing that the move to EV's hasn't heralded an era of small, cheap city cars.

The reason why this hasn't happened is because small, cheap city cars are the absolute worst-case for electrification, being that:

* Battery energy density isn't there yet; electric cars in this size only have a range of maybe 250km compared to the ~700 you can get from even older generations of turbo 3/4-cylinder engine cars so you won't even get a week's commute before you have to charge

* On-street parking (and apartment parking) is not electrified, and won't be for another couple decades; if you have the means to afford a house you can afford a superior normal car instead anyway

* Proper charging takes about 45 minutes up from the 5 minutes it takes to charge a normal car, and you have to do that every few days rather than every two weeks

* Stiff competition from used normal cars are still cheaper to own, operate, and insure, and the normal cars are superior products

If batteries had 4x the energy density (or a consolation prize of being able to charge fully in 2 minutes) it'd be a different story. But they don't, so any EV smaller than an SUV is a strictly inferior product to a normal car at the same price bracket.
MIT Claims They've Figured Out How to Make Fusion Energy Practical
I have ask myself the same question a couple of weeks ago and decided to use Node for some side stuff. Simply because of Node being the most mature, boring choice. Still, I like the DX improvements of both Bun and Deno a lot. We'll see how it all plays out in some years.
The problem here are two fold:
1. benefits of climate change are more like public good
2. as elsewhere many firms went crazy with green washing and ESG is kind of becoming a loaded phrase in corporate speak

On 1, private action won’t work unless the govt somehow pays the private actor. So, blaming banks is less effective.

Yes, possibly. But reading from the screen is quite different from reading actual barcode prints, for instance you have to deal with Moirè patterns and such. And frankly it was just a good excuse to buy an arm. Sue me! ;-)
not necessarily -- CUDA produces many function calls, which in API remoting setups could degrade performance -- in our case, we draw the abstraction line a bit "higher" in the stack so it's more like a "functional" API remoting -- eg. image classification
Tags can be changed. To actually pin the source code revision, they should pin to a specific commit hash.
> It doesn’t do that very often. [..] It’s only once every few seconds. [..] To me personally, it tells that Denuvo executes checks so infrequently, that the likelyhood of it causing FPS drop seems rather low.

Keep in mind that FPS drops are only one issue with Denuvo's performance. Another common one (which i think is more common in recent releases, judging from comments i've seen) is frame pracing/stuttering/etc - people very often mention in Reddit threads about Denuvo's removal from a game that the update that removed Denuvo fixed these for them (of course it could also be some other change the game had, but this has been the case with more than one game and games receive other patches before removing Denuvo, so i have a hard time accepting all are coincidences).

A slow/lengthy call every few seconds wont affect your average framerate (which is what often developers check for performance measurement) but it will affect your frame pacing and give a stuttery feel. Most people tend to call this a "performance issue" (regardless if it is due to performance or not).

Traditional optical fiber has glass in the middle. The speed of light in glass is only about 66% of the speed in air, so microwave is always faster if you can get a reasonably straight path for both.

There now exists hollow-core fiber, where the light travels down an air gap in the middle, which is theoretically competitive with microwaves/lasers/etc. How much this is being used is a secret, but microwave transmission definitely hasn't gone away.

Looks really cool and could be a good alternative to Typeform.

In our organization, due to privacy reasons we need to self host.

You might want to look at something like the plus plan photoprism has. For photoprism, if you want a UI for user admin, you pay something. One can do the same thing from cli, but in corporate environments it's easier for me to say, look, we need to pay, because we need this admin interface. If I would self host but want to support you otherwise, it's hard to argue why the organization should "donate" money.

Hope it makes sense. Best wishes!

My old dog experience has proven multiple times that staying with the main reference tool for the platform always pays out long term, as most forks or guest languages eventually fade out after the hype cycle is over.

The existing tools eventually get the features that actually matter, and I avoided rewriting stuff twice, on the meantime I gladly help some of those projects to backport into the reference tooling for the platform.

The only place I really haven't followed this approach was in regards to C++ in UNIX, which at first sight might feel I am contradicting myself, however many tend to forget C++ was born at Bell Labs, on the same building as UNIX folks were on, and CFront tooling was symbiotic with UNIX.

He's more focused now on figuring out what happened, how he missed it, and deciding a plan of action for cleaning things up.

This is interesting in the context of the Rabbit R1-style AI. I forget what they called it, but it’s learning how to ‘drive’ your computer like you do vs. interacting with an API.

So to book a flight it just pretends to be a human and uses the website.

I see a fascinating future where you can teach an AI how to pay your credit card bill. Because I can explain it to you trivially:

1. Log in to credit card provider website.

2. Look at {this number} on the screen. That’s what I owe this month.

3. Log in to my bank.

4. Click Pay > choose ‘credit card’ from my ‘stored contacts’ > paste that amount.

5. Wait for 2FA code to arrive via SMS.

6. Paste 2FA code.

Yes please. I’d like to be able to script my life like this, such that the AI can adapt when my credit card provider changes their CSS class names or whatever would break my fragile Node script.

> If a person earns a low wage, he shouldn't be able to afford children because he shouldn't have them.

The right to found a family is enshrined in Article 12 of the European Convention on Human Rights [1] and Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [2].

I agree it's a bit of a stretch, but at least the UDHR definition explicitly states that "the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State"... for me, that clearly implies economic protection, i.e. a society has to make sure that people can actually exercise that right - because how useful is a theoretical right to something (be it to found a family, or to have the right to due process and fair treatment before the courts, or whatever else), when large swaths of the population cannot exercise that right, or have access to it effectively denied by circumstances outside of their but inside the government's control?

Skipping particular tests depending on platform is a very common practice, for better or worse.

Hello friend,

I would like to recommend the FigJam feature in Figma to you, a common tool used by high-tech companies for creating Information Architecture (IA). Our company always adheres to the tool usage standards of high-tech companies.

For guidance on how to use the FigJam feature in Figma, you can refer to this link: https://youtu.be/axDzyLEfYgU?si=V6tqO_tEUKYuLxrL (or search for FigJam on YouTube).

Here are three quick tips on how to efficiently create Information Architecture（Also called System Architecture）:

Start with the Sketch method by drawing your product's Information architecture on paper. Communicate with your PM, design, and development team to validate its effectiveness.

Open FigJam in Figma to turn it into an electronic version. This step is crucial as design and development will follow the version in FigJam for collaborative work.

When creating your Information Architecture (IA), first identify the core functionalities of your product, represented by one color. Next, determine what sub-functions each core functionality can be divided into, marked by a second color. Finally, decide what detailed functionalities compose each sub-function, indicated by a third color. Continue in this manner until you complete the entire IA construction.

It’s important to note that perfecting the IA is not a linear process; it will go through multiple iterations and modifications. Every great product undergoes this process. Also, initially, you can focus on creating an IA for just one core functional module (usually the innovative feature with the highest user pain point) without defining the entire scope. In essence, flexibly establishing the IA to achieve company goals is the primary task.

I will definitely try this out when I have time later in the day.

There is some code I would really prefer not to write that is a decent test case for this and won't expose company code to GPT. Will give feedback when I am done. Maybe you are correct.
Really cool article. I'm not sure about one point, though.

> In the Torah, both Noah and Job are treated as pious men, but critically, neither are Israelites. Making Daniel part of the trio implies he was also a righteous non-Jew.

Doesn't this confuse being Israelite with being Jewish? IIRC, the kingdom of Israel predates the Jewish religion by a few hundred years, based on older archaeological references to the kingdom's name from neighboring kingdoms.

I'm surprised (or perhaps very unaware) that there doesn't seem to exist a company yet that mass produces cheap, high quality, reasonably standardized robot arms. So many things like 3D printers or CNC machines have entered the consumer/amateur level price realm, but this seems to be something still largely unexplored. Seems to have Arduino/Raspberry Pi scale potential, but I haven't heard of a name/ecosystem that popular yet
