As someone who was a reddit junkie who got guilty pleasured by youtube into watching tons of police bodycam videos...

People generally have no idea what it like to be a cop and what is and isn't legal. For instance, just about every single person who resists arrest now also yells that they cannot breath. Then the cops ask if they need medical, which of course they say yes, simply to make things more difficult for the police (and waste taxpayer money to have an ambulance come out).

In a vacuum it looks bad. But in the context of every single criminal doing the same extreme heel dragging, you start to see what is going on.
The same project has been happening at Spotify for years now with no end in sight. It's an absolute joke.
There are some tendencies in that field too...
If you're canvas has say 2000 pixels on the x-axis and you're trying to plot one second of 44.1kHz audio, you'll end up with more than 20 samples per pixel. You can then either reduce the number of samples or draw multiple lines within that pixel. Both approaches can result in aliasing. OP's approach seems to just draw lines between every sample, so using the second option. If you change the "Scale" in the example, you can clearly see how peaks appear/disappear due to aliasing (especially between 200 - 400 frames / px).
The fees alone are one thing. But the fees that are a percentage of the purchase price are quite another. That transforms them from fees into a tax.
Not games I have discovered recently, but these are some truly great games I come back to every 5 years or so:

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - to me a perfect mix of exploration, building and your own power creep. I've tried some of the later iterations but they all just weren't as good

Darklands - early RPG based on 15th century HRE/Germany with a magic system based on christian saints and miracles. Made in 1992 and amazingly an open world game

FF7 - Always amazing to play again

Alpha Centauri - Not played this for a decade or so, so don't know how it's held up. I kept coming back to this game for a long while. Newer versions such as Endless Space and Stellaris are good but just don't seem to have the same wonder that this original civ in space did, but might be because I've seen it all before.

From the next 'era' of games I would say look at Bioshock 1/2/3 and Deadspace (which I think has been redone recently to rave reviews but unfortunately poor-ish sales so that's probably nixed a Deadspace 2 remake which was even better)
What's the potential positive influence here? Genuinely trying to find one. Is it that a cop can tell the board "oh that's no big deal we assault everyone?" Policing isn't hard to understand, if it were there might be some minimum training standards somewhere.
Out of curiosity I once went into a very small-time casino. I ended up at a blackjack table with various characters, one of whom was a single mom. She said she was playing to get money to buy the kids Easter chocolate. She was quite experienced and was up a few hundred dollars for a while. And she said that was it, she was leaving. And then she didn’t. And then lost it all. And then gained some back. And lost that too.

By the time I’d slowly bled away my $20 and gave up, she was still there.
Mine has actually decreased in the last 10 years lol, in 2014 BT(British telecom) introduced their G-Fast packages with 150mbps speed, and that's what I've been on since then......except this year they said the G.Fast packages are all deprecated so if I want to stay with them I'll be put on the next highest package....which is a 76mbps FTTC connection.

The state of internet connectivity in the UK is dreadful, and 8Gbps is unheard of unless you have a business line, I think the highest offered to regular consumers is 2gbps and only in very few places.
Hanging onto property long after you need it? Thats crazy. I'm of the belief you should never sell property unless you're in dire straights or you know it's never going to a viable asset (including in this if you have a property in an overheated area that you know is overvalued...then yes, by all means, sell!)

You can always find something to do with property to generate income. Once that property is gone, you'll probably never be able to buy it back for what you sold it for

I'd venture it was highly community specific when you had to go to the local paddypower (pre-smartphone gambling), but now you have canary wharf traders putting in bets on their phone in between trades on their terminals.
When talking about vapes and booze specifically, the defensiveness is a symptom of addiction. Gambling is addictive, too, but unlike with booze and nicotine, you only have to go as far as your pocket & your phone is open for bets 24/7. You phone will also never deny you because it knows you've had enough.

Maybe doom scrolling is addictive to this level too. But the point is, we, and especially young people, are being targeted for addictive substances in a way that Joe Camel could only dream of, and yes, addiction is hard to escape.
Hell I go in with $20 just to get the free drinks and sit there bored out of my mind hitting some stupid button that occasionally gives me another round of drinks or not. I am so sick of Vegas and will never go to another conference there.

This is the same NPR that sold it's subscriber list to the Democratic party. In the US, the government has no business paying for speech, especially partisan speech.

Like most of the rest of the media, NPR is no longer liberal (in respect to protecting personal human rights, economic freedom, observable truth and government institutions) but rather Liberal causes (restricting speech against protected classes, skeptical of free markets, relative truths, tearing down government institutions).
Rivos Raises More Than $250M
Remember what it was like when you have wonderful kilobytes of memory and megabytes of storage?

Your programming is constantly focused, not on the limitations this imposes, but on the opportunities opened up by this vast blank canvas like never before.

Imagine what it would be like if programmers still got as much user-utility per user-kilobyte as they did when that's all they had.

Back in 1982 with the mass-production of Ataris I thought it would be good to have a cartridge for each city which had the map data plus the visual landmarks. Like a 3-D driving simulator but using real maps. Which could be played as a racing game, I guess something like GTA. And with further development would provide a framework for on-board navigation using a battery-powered computer.

Just one of the many things you never expect early-adopters with more resources to not already be doing.
Today's kids also play Roblox, Garry's Mod, Minecraft and Fortnite, all of which allow them to create their own games and tools and write code alongside it, like Verse for Fortnite [0], LUA for Roblox [1], IDK what language it is but there's something for Minecraft bedrock edition [2] and of course the old Java edition, and also LUA for gmod.

This is how thousands, if not millions of people will have their first foray into coding, and it's a much, MUCH larger amount of people that get in touch with the deeper levels of tech than "our" generation had.

Don't underestimate "this generation"; don't generalise them either by trying to state they only spend mindless time on their phone.

In the distant past iTunes was great at this (really). Insert a disc, its metadata is pulled in automatically, it’s ripped and tagged using whatever coded settings you want and when it’s done the disc is ejected.

Watch a show do some other work and when the toast pops out a new one in.

Ripping DVDs with HandBrake was almost as easy, but it wouldn’t eject the disc afterwards (though it could have supported running a script at the end, I don’t recall).
In the Picasso example, if the you weren't selling your sketches before, then the potential copyright rights were likely not the incentive needed to create the work in the first place, practicing your craft was. Also, just because you don't have a copyright doesn't mean you can't sell it. In this use it or lose it hypothetical system of copyright, it just means that you can't prevent others from using and building off that work. I'll also note that even actual modern copyright treats unpublished works differently than published ones. In the context of the article about live-service games, your sketchbook example would be more like an unpublished game like 0x10c. I'll agree that there might be reasons to still treat published works differently than unpublished ones.

In your second example, again it would be about extra exclusivity rights you get from copyright, not anything you necessarily need to do for every slightly creative act you're involved in. If you were never going to assert copyright on those, why should there need to be copyright protections provided by the public?

In general, the way I was mainly thinking of this kind of potential requirement was for things that have already been distributed to the public but then no longer supported/sold. I see things being made part of the culture by being released but then becoming totally unavailable to be one of the worst things that can happen to creative works when we now have the technology and capability to preserve everything.
I don't really get why they need the occlusion volume? What is its functionality? Doesn't rendering a pointcloud from a novel viewpoint already give the (dis-)occlusion mask?
What Apple has is theoretically great on paper, but it fails to live up to expectations. Whats the point of having the RAM for running an LLM locally when the performance is abysmal compared to running it on even a consumer Nvidia GPU.

I concur with you that Etak delivered a functional product, albeit not a commercially successful one, which is farther along than Jodorowsky's Dune project, which stalled mid-way in development.

What I wanted to point out is that both projects produced massive amounts of reusable knowledge, and that knowledge set up the stage for a whole field of influential and exciting derivative works.
Edge Precision on Youtube posted some videos showing making a valve body out of Inconel. It's clearly a PITA, he indexes the insert (changes the cutting edge to a new one) for every single cut. That adds a lot of time, and a decent amount of expense (carbide cutting tool inserts are cheap, but not free).
'Weaponizing insecurity'

I'm going to use that. Great summary.
Not arguing about the merits of capabilities and the open interface, but file handles are often cited as capability-like, and the ...at calls are in POSIX; but there's the global namespace. (Security in Plan 9 does say their capability system could be implemented for Unix, but I don't know if that's realistic and whether it provides proper capability security.)
> It's hard to understand what you're trying to say, tbh.

Frankly, it's really not that hard at all. The GP is (pretty clearly, IMO) trying to say that all those things they are on the surface on it saying are in fact not necessarily true. They do that by formulating them in an exaggerated, IMO rather clearly sarcastic, manner, to say, in effect, that "The conclusion here" is the conclusion that the reader is at least intended to come to.

> I don't think anyone thinks American military might is on the wane.

AFAICS, the GP does.

> The blog post is very clear that given the info people knew at the time, the ineffectiveness of missle defense systems was reasonable to believe in...

AFAICT, the GP thinks it still is.

> But America's war record in the past few decades shows that might alone cannot win wars.

The GP is probably thanking you right now, for spelling out his point for the sarcasm-impaired.

Some of that is just social conditioning though, or maybe an innate instinct but an irrational one in today's day and age. There's no reason a woman can't be the primary breadwinner, and most high earning women I know are very open to dating someone with a much lower salary as long as they are a good partner. But more often than not the guy has a hang up about the situation or is otherwise unwilling to contribute enough around the house. So instead you end up with dual high income paying for cleaning service, daycare, etc.

My BIL was pretty outspoken BTC and NFT booster at various times (I’m sure he’s back as an advocate with the recent runup, but he may have liquidated at a slump when they bought a house), so it’s possible the PP wasn’t initiating the conversation, but lacked the wisdom to nod politely and pivot to the weather (though nowadays climate and weather can be contentious conversations too!)

this is a meme car for a person that effectively doesn't exist: a survivalist tech bro.

not saying that person can't be found -somewhere-, possibly in a Neil Stephenson book, but even at the insanely inflated prices of the Cybertruck that's not enough to stake a multi-year production effort.
So is there a server program to partner this with? Something that acts as a torrent file builder, tracker and simple file server for the torrent? I can imagine in a large org you could store a gigantic quantity of public data on a server that creates a torrent whenever the data changes, serves the.torrent file over http and also acts as a tracker. You could wrap the FUSE client in some basic logic that detects newer torrents on the server and reloads/remounts.

Many moons ago I created a Linux distribution for a bank. It was based on Ubuntu NetBoot with minimal packages for their branch desktop. As the branches were serverless, the distro was self-seeding. You could walk into a building with one of them and use it to build hundreds of clones in a pretty short time. All you needed was wake-on-lan and PXE configured on the switches. The new clones could also act as seeds. Under the hood it served a custom Ubuntu repo on nginx and ran tftp/inetd and wackamole (which used libspread, neither have been maintained for years). Once a machine got built, it pulled a torrent off the "server" and added it to transmission. Once that was completed the machine could also act as a seed, so it would start up wackamole, inetd, nginx, tracker etc. At first you seed 10 machines reliably, but once they were all up, you could wake machines in greater numbers. Across hundreds of bank branches I deployed the image onto 8000 machines in a few weeks (most of the delays due to change control and staged rollout plan). Actually the hardest part was getting the first seed downloaded to the branches via their old Linux build, and using one of them to act as a seed machine. That was done in 350+ branches, over inadequate network connections (some were 256kbps ISDN)
>I understand this comment is tongue in cheek

You understood wrongly. It wasn't tongue in cheek at all, it was dead serious.

I asked because several countries have become hubs for certain activities that are far too much regulated in most places. For example, Malta and Cyprus are the EU's habus of gambling companies because for some reason their taxes and regulations on that topic are a lot more lax than in the rest of the union. Netherlands and Ireland are the EU's hubs for multinational corporations also because of taxes and laws.

It's the same with HFT and I expect the same will be with AI: companies will seek shelter in countries with the most liberal laws on IP copyright, AI training data and usage, so I was asking myself if UAE plans to be the shelter for unscrupulous AI players as the US and especially the EU will want to regulate this as much as possible.

I spend as much money on streamers as I would have spent on a cable TV, were I to actually subscribe to cable TV.

It's just an entertainment budget item. If the generation isn't spending that money on traditional forms of entertainment--concerts, cable, movies, sports games--then how is it wasting to spend it on the form of entertainment you don't like?
I'm reluctant to say this since it's already been suggested once that I'm being condescending, but wrt to food delivery services, I don't know if it's addiction or some form of entitlement but something is going on there. What a phenomena. So many people I know complains about DoorDash, etc, and keep using it, and insist their life demands they use it.
> It blows my mind. We know so well that gambling is a losing battle. Some can have fun and call it the price of fun, but it's such a slippery slope to find yourself losing way more than you intended.

This what scares me the most in that trend
You're right that it's not trivial if you're starting from scratch but, in theory, you only need to get it right once. Even if you did need to move to a different strategy in the future because pip stopped being included in your container's distro or something, that's a single point of failure and not something that needs to be sorted out on every dev/prod machine.

To move up a level of abstraction, though, the official Python image pretty much does The Right Thing by default (copy requirements.txt, pip install, execute some command, etc.). Of course that isn't going to work for every scenario but it's a good place to start.

Do you have a source for this? This is massive allegation you are giving, and can veer directly into disinformation.
> Knowing you can saturate your entire network with 10G traffic and every participant will get the same market data packets at the same time[0]

Hold on a second. Multicast is nifty, but it does not perform miracles. If you operate a 10G multicast network and actually saturate it, you will experience drops and buffering-induced delays. Perhaps you can play games with time-synchronous networking, but as far as I know the exchanges don’t do this, and it likely needs special hardware.

The point of 10G multicast is to use simple, standard (but complex to configure!) equipment to distribute much less than 10Gbps simultaneously.

I'm guessing the 13km diameter refers to the event horizon rather than the singularity itself, which I gather could be considered as zero-sized, or maybe one Planck length in size because we can't definitively measure anything smaller, or ...

Admittedly, it gets a bit philosophical. The sphere of no return isn't the thing, but it might as well be for any outside observer, but it isn't, but it could be viewed as such, but... :) Suffice to say I'm glad the closest thing to black holes I have to contend with in my daily life is a 2+ million line php codebase dating from the late Clinton administration.

Maybe this is a joke that’s over my head, but the OP wants a system where damaged media can be repaired. They have the damaged media so there’s no way to make a hash of the content they want.
Specifically push notifications provide a nice use case for server to client connections, for which you currently need to use an additional service that also inspects and censors your notifications for your safety.

Also how should I secure the vms? VirtualBox provides NAT and port forwarding settings, but not firewall settings, and I guess it bypasses the host firewall, so I should configure guest firewall?
It also used to be heavily regulated in the Netherlands... but apparently due to harmonising rules in the eu, now almost everything is legalised on betting. I really dislike this and would prefer all (or at least most) betting to be made illegal again. At the very least it will abolish a lot of betting-advertising on media and in the streets and public spaces.
