There is a massive difference between those p2p games that I grew up with as well and running a live game server.

Those CSGO servers are not running all of the AI mobs, progression tracking systems, and other components that many games have today. All of those things are multiple services, databases, how they all communicate in the backend, etc. These are hosting entire long running worlds that have a lot of (literally) moving pieces.

That is before getting into just how much core data for the game is stored server side instead of client side for things like MMO's.

I mean to my knowledge the idea that a CS server would have a database (if not multiple) running to keep track of things would be absurd?

On what grounds do you presume that I'm not actively harmful to the humans in my habitat?

While I appreciate your point here, I don't consider it to be decisive. I think that if the elephants were considerate of their neighbors they would still be a burden on the Batswana. Ultimately there will be competition for land and water and the opportunity cost of not letting rich foreigners shoot them.

Botswana is a good place for the elephants, and the government seems relatively well disposed towards them. Ideally that would be enough, but I think economically it has to be worth their while, otherwise the resources will be put to a more "productive" use.
I think we'll get there at some point, but one thing I've learned from this project is how difficult it is to stack AI interactions. Each little bit of AI-based logic that gets added tends to fail terribly at first. Only after a long period of intense testing and iteration does it become remotely usable. The more you are combining different kinds of tasks, the more difficult it gets.
You should look into the south DRC situation, i think you're missing a few state actors, as well as private actors.

Decathlon does it but it's a little harder to implement in a grocery store.

You need to basically have custom packaging so the tags are not easily swappable and the RFID tag is not free too, it could really add up for small price items.

The maybe e-waste problem?
I'm not really familiar with how much of a problem this really is but on a grocery store size it could add up
Perhaps operating costs were more expensive than just hiring humans to run it like a traditional grocery store?
Waaaait. I'm pretty sure I pasted the correct spelling and HN changed it. Let's try again:

API gets thrown around pretty loosely, but what Hubspot has isn't really an application programming interface. It is a state transfer service, as echoed in the documentation.

While am I sure their service is not free of flaws (the versioning as described comes off especially strange), the biggest issue here may be taking "API" too literally. What you are looking for is, indeed, an API, but that is not what they have on offer. Presumably their expectation is that you will build your API on top of the transferred state.
TIL a neat way to add comments to continued shell lines. Thanks!
Yes. In Switzerland Migros you have this as well, at least in the bigger ones. But they also added scanning with the phone. So you don't need a special scanner, just your phone.
I would never have known. Thanks for telling me!
I think this is a cool idea. I have personally been in the position where you have built a product, and now you suddenly need to start thinking about internal tools to view and manage your product. Building them are crucial, but it's also something where you don't want to spend too much time. While this seems great, my only suggestion is if this could be a little bit more extensible. This appears to restrict you to NextJS. It would be nice if you could give us framework agnostic blocks and APIs that we can use with any technology. I wouldn't mind paying for it as long as it is reasonable.
Lots of services would be phenomenal when you can offload much of the cost to run them to cheap offshore labor.

Remember how great Uber and Doordash were when much of the cost of operating was offset by underpaid workers and VC funds? Now that they don't have unlimited piles of money and cities/states are making them pay more fair wages, the cost-benefit of those services has diminished. I was ok paying $5 for $20 of food to be delivered, but now it's more like $10 - $15 in fees/tip, plus fees hidden in menu prices making that $20 food cost $27.50.

Given what Cage said about audience participation and the framing of the piece, I wonder what he would think about playing it outside of the concert hall.

> If you're maintaining one of the most widely used packages that is directly linked to by libsystemd and is included by pretty much every Linux distro as part of the base system? Then maybe some measure of paranoia is justified.

But whose problem is that? systemd chose to link against liblzma, not the other way around. I doubt the xz maintainer(s) make money off of the project, and I'm assuming it's a spare-time/side-project type thing. Why should the fact that the library is included in every distro and is a dependency of systemd affect the xz maintainers' obligations? The leader of systemd has been variously employed by RedHat and Microsoft... if they're choosing to pull in an external dependency for systemd and then making money off of selling their Linux distros/cloud services, it would seem they're the ones that could afford to take on the burden of reviewing everything with a fine-toothed comb, not the xz maintaners.

The act relies on there being an extreme reluctance to ban. Once the banhammer has been used, the act kind of falls apart. Of course, difference pressure campaigns can then be brought to bear.

Shopping there always felt supremely weird to me. Scanning in, getting stuff, and walking out, but I always felt incomplete without a receipt being right there in my email, wondering if I'd done something wrong and had just inadvertently shoplifted.

Lots of autogenerated code appears "obfuscated" - certainly less clear than if a programmer would have written it directly.

But all this relies on one specific thing about the autotools ecosystem - that shipping the generated code is considered normal.

I know of no other build system that does this? It feels weird, like shipping cmake-generated makefiles instead of just generating them yourself, or something like scons or meson being packaged with the tarball instead of requiring an eternal installation.

That's a lot of extra code to review, before you even get to any kind of language differences.
What would you expect? There's no OS API for "read one character", except in say ASCII where 1 byte = 1 code point = 1 character. And it'd be hideously inefficient anyway. So you either loop over getting the next N bytes and getting all complete characters so far (with some extra complexity around characters that cross chunk boundaries) or you read the whole thing into a single buffer and iterate the characters. This code does the latter. If this tool doesn't have the ability to respond by asking requirements questions, I'd consider either choice valid.

Of course, in real life, I do expect to get requirements questions back from an engineer when I assign a task. Seems more practical than anticipating everything up-front into the perfect specification/prompt. Why shouldn't I expect the same from an LLM-based tool? Are any of them set up to do that?
Dig in their heels and watch other parts of the business get even more agressive. More ads in iOS settings and the App Store. More notifications for their products and ecosystem.

I can see it in them making the TV app the only way to watch your media. Now I'm subject to their TV+ advertisements whenever I want to watch my iTunes purchases. I can look up a comedy show in their store and the "related" shows are TV+ before everything else.

It's like they're hiring from Amazon Prime TV or something. I honestly don't update my tvOS because it seems to be gets worse in content and having strange UX choices.

Reminds me of GERD. It's a disease that affects a sizable group of people. It's a mechanical issue that is very well studied and known.

Yet, the main two treatment options are "workaround/hacks" or a very invasive operation.

There's only one [1] potential nobel "curing" treatment which is just gaining traction.

But innmy opinion with current technology, stuff like GERD or chronic bowel incontinence (due to mechanical failure of anjs sphincter) should be 100% solved.

If you want developers to have a sense of ownership on their work then yes. The other side of this is knowing how to rollback changes and having your system built to be able to do things quickly, but safely. If your build pipeline takes a long time to get a change out, like a couple hours, this isn't totally feasible.

Part of this is building changes with small scope that are easily testable and even for emergency command line changes to have a peer review process with approvals so that issues can be caught early. Being able to dry-run changes in another environment also reduces risk of people.

Now I'm not suggesting a junior dev that just started to be given work like deleting a row of bad data out of production in their first week. There should be some common sense around who is getting assigned the work.
Jia Tan asked distros to update quickly just before it became public. How possible is it, there is another account / person who learned earlyer from people around Andreas Freund, the backdoor would become public. How possible is it, there is still another insider around?

I have said this in a few places now, but this is my fundamental problem with this petition. The front page is horribly written to actually convey the problem (I should not be required to go to the FAQ to get a basic understanding) and then the FAQ is arguing for 2 very different things.

On The Crew (which I have not played) if there is truly a single player component that does not rely on any server side systems, than I agree. Online DRM should not exist.

However the OP used "Many of today's GaaS are single-player games that have no business at all being online-only" which a single player game is not a GaaS. Those 2 things cannot be the same.

The problem is the FAQ tries to make claims about truly online games and how those also should somehow be preserved, which is a very complex problem.

So to be clear, I fully agree that if it is truly a single player game than yes that should be able to be played without an online connection. However the OP and this website is conflating 2 massively different things and makes standing behind it impossible.
The data quality of wearables to detect sleep stages is in the 90%+ accuracy range now. Which is near what polysomnographers score at - nobody completely agrees on what stage is what, there is always deviation. Wearables are definitely good enough at this stage.

Zeo is not the only consumer EEG either, though all the current headbands (including what we are building at https://affectablesleep.com) have some sort of sleep stimulation at it's core.

Frenzband I believe is shipping, I haven't tried one, and don't know anyone who has. We have a Somnee at the office, and it is unbearably painful to wear. I'm highly skeptical of the "science" of either of these devices as well.

I am utterly baffled by the complaints about UI changes. Discord looks nigh-identical to when I first installed it in 2017. Literally the only significant changes I remember was the smoothing of the logo, and relatively recent bottom left icon changes. I guess they added the activities button at some point in there, too.

In fact, the stability of their UI is something that I've greatly appreciated. What about the UI is changing?
Go is great, but it has garbage collection (you don't manage memory directly) whereas c++ and rust do not.

It is apples and oranges, in that regard. Some node guy isn't going to just go and pick up rust/c++ because they're used for quite different purposes.

As a general purpose language, Go is amazing. In fact, it is what I use day to day for all my needs. For my current business needs it is what all our services are written in. They are fast, and the go concurrency model honestly makes it pretty easy for me to forego a lot of extra add-on technologies that are not yet required at my stage and KISS.

For anything like super high perf, systems programming, embedded, etc. you will want to use c++ or rust.

Fully agree, most non-technical people have no way of measuring the value created by a good developer, so they assume it must be insignificant.

I build a site to find top YouTube courses/tutos, bypassing expensive courses
I don't know about you but I have already personally paid for online courses at more than €600 to become a better freelancer and I ended up hearing from one of the biggest creators of French-speaking online courses that in reality all the information sold in the online courses are available on the Internet.

It's just that it would take a long time to find them all whereas by buying an online course all the information is gathered for you and you don't have to search so yes this information are technically free but by paying for the online course you especially save time.

So I wondered if it was possible to find something in between so that I could not waste time searching for information scattered all over the Internet and not have to pay huge prices for mediocre online courses.

This is how EduHunt was born, a platform allowing you to find the educational content you are looking for on YouTube with search filters in addition to the usual YouTube.

This is in order to find this information hidden in the YouTube algorithm and not have to pay a lot of money to have this information because most of the time this information is there, it's just that it is complicated to find it.

Would love to get your feedback ;)
This code was essentially monkey patched from a test script. Python automatically runs any code in a imported module, so not hard to see a chain of module imports that progressively modifies and deploys a similar structure.
I had the same experience when I first started sleep tracking before beginning our start-up https://affectablesleep.com.

My oura would tell me I didn't get enough deep sleep, or REM sleep, and I was like - so what? What do I do with that information?

We're using auditory stimulation to increase the efficiency of deep sleep during the night. The data after a night of sleep is less valuable than the real-time intervention.

> Thousands of poor souls doing terrible pointless menial work just so that a few entitled customers can avoid the clunky self checkout

Wanting to make your life more convenient and pleasant isn't "entitled".

99% of jobs are things people would rather not be doing (otherwise you wouldn't be getting paid for it). The point is that we can allocate this work in a way that minimizes the amount of time everyone has to spend doing undesirable work.

Are you mad that I sometimes pay "poor souls" to do the "menial work" of cooking me food so I can avoid doing it myself?

> The entitlement of the west has no bounds really.

Thanks for linking this. I always did wonder how they did it. From a cursory read, it looks like the basic approach is to collect accelerometer data and train it to predict ground truth labels generated via a consumer EEG device. Not sure if each epochs (30s) were considered iids. I'd assume that the overall sequence of activity would be much more informative than a single 30s activity considered independently.
I wish it could all be managed intelligently; I'm hungry but I can wait, let orders collect and make them all at once or something.

I used comfy ‘in production’ (for an installed art piece [1]) recently, driving Comfy as an inference backend with a TouchDesigner scripting / front end. Generally it’s very powerful and fast to iterate on but the fact that the nodes are keyed by index in the JSON means when you change your workflow you have some repetitive and error prone stuff to fix on your call side, each and every time, which I think this technique is addressing.
