> I know for the first point Linux is my obvious choice, which is totally fine, but gaming support on Linux never likely will be on par with Windows... though now that they are ruining even that with Windows 11 and likely 12, I have no idea what to do.

I keep using the last 4 or 5 years using Linux as my gaming OS (and everything). this includes AAA games, and I don't had issues. Plus, I can update my whole system at same time that I'm playing Stellaris without any issue.
I don't use orthodox C++, but the author of this is also the author of bgfx, which is a very popular graphics api abstraction. It runs on (and has commercial products on) Android, ios, Playstation, Xbox, PC, Mac, Linux, and wasm. While the coding style might be unpopular, it has successful projects.

This reads like more than standard restrictions. I hate those like everyone, they are just intended to chill complaints in my opinion with enough question to scare average people without legal expertise (like me, like most devs), just like non-competes used to seemingly primarily be used to discourage looking at other jobs, separate from whether it was enforceable - note the recent FTC decision to end non-competes.

About 5 months ago I had a chance to join a company, their company had what looked like an extreme non-compete to me, you couldn't work for any company for the next two years after leaving if they had been a customer of that company.

I pointed out to them that I wouldn't have been able to join their company if my previous job had that non-compete clause, it seemed excessive. Eventually I was in meetings with a lawyer at the company who told me it's probably not enforceable, don't worry about it, and the FTC is about to end non-competes. I said great, strike it from the contract and I'll sign it right now. He said I can't do that, no one off contracts. So then I said I'm not working there.
I have a 6 figure profit in NVDA shares right now. Cost basis is something like $100. I have considered selling( or at what price I would sell). The problem I have is what could I possibly buy with that profit? Intel hasn't shown that they have a real plan. The move in META seems to have already happened. I don't trust that Alphabet has any idea what they're doing. I could buy more Microsoft or Amazon shares I guess. I wouldn't throw money at these software stocks like Snowflake or the SNOWs of the world. AAPL might be a play if I have the conviction that Tim Cook has an AI plan in place.

In the end I'd probably just take the easy way out and go buy VTSAX and chill.
I am so hopeful that this happens. I was comparing the fees to see a band in the US or EU recently based on their tour dates and it was insane what US ticket prices came out to be. It was ~$54 for a ticket in the US because of all the junk fees and just 8 euros for other places in the EU.
I got myself recently one of those cheap graphic tablets (Huion), for some drawing and note taking, and discovered Krita. Absolutely amazing open-source software. And integration with SD is just amazing.
I think what we need to remember is that there are two issues with your ststement.

1. Companies need consumers to sell to. If no one earns enough money to buy then the companies gave a problem.
2. If people cannot feed themself from working for others then becoming a subsistence farmer and forming tight knit communities is the best way to survive.

People can exist without companies, the reverse is not true.
Not trying to play the devil's advocate here, but I am thinking how this would play out if I ever opened a spinoff...

Let's say I find a profitable niche while working for a project and we decide to open a separate spin off startup to handle that idea. I'd expect legality to be handled for me, inherited from the parent company.

Now let's also say the company turns out to be disproportionately successful. I'd say I would have a lot on my plate to worry about, the least of which the legal part that the company inherited.

In this scenario it is probable that hostile clauses in contracts would be dug up. I surely would be legally responsible for them, but how much would I be to blame for them, truly?

And if the company handles the incident well, how important should that blame putting be?
Given what OpenAI's been in the press for the past few weeks, I can't help but feel this is a trap; even if it isn't, Sam is certainly making it look like it is...
Sadly not, it is very much tied to our workflows and as such wouldnt provide much value for anyone else other than a reference. Nevertheless I thought I'd share our approach to anonymization / pseudoanomyzation as I haven't really seen that done elsewhere.
Before their downfall, Sears had a better website than Amazon for buying hard goods.

When Amazon was still focused on selling books, Sears had a huge array of non-book stuff that could be bought and shipped to their store for free, or delivered anywhere at a fairly low cost. I bought all kinds of stuff that way, at a time when buying anything online still seemed kind of novel.

For a very long time the Sears Parts website was the foremost place to find appliance parts and documentation online.

Sears was even one of the founders of Prodigy, years before Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the Word Wide Web.

FFS, they had a rich history of taking orders and delivering products that started over a century ago.

So, one might ask: If the old trope of "they didn't understand teh Intarwebs, herp herp" is false, then what was it that brought ruin to Sears a little bit quicker than some of their fellow mall anchor peers?

And that answer is simple: Standard corporate raider tactics.

As a younger programmer, I used to listen to people hating about everything C++ does, offers, or wants to be. Specifically https://yosefk.com/c++fqa/ [1]. Then I tasted the RAII (probably up there with Dynamic Programming for "horribly named but super powerful paradigms") koolaid, and threw my caution to the wind. It's been a pleasant ride since, even if I've been living in a somewhat comfy C++ environment with few third-party integration woes and a reasonable compiler upgrade pace.

Sure, I agree, you should carefully evaluate which language best serves your needs, and what tools in a language you should use or stay away from. But some game dev ranting about which C++ features they consider useless (without even articulating their background or constraints) is worthless imo. Especially if this is the credit they give to their name:

> After over 20 years working with C/C++ I finally got clear idea how header files need to be organized.

[1] Yes, that FAQ parody is now very outdated, seeing as it precedes even C++11. I can believe that it was on-point at the time of writing, but C++ grew up since then.
This is them fucking over their employees though, not the public, and in a very concrete manner. Threats to rob them of millions - maybe tens of millions - are going to hurt more than losing access to a third-party Reddit client.

And the employees also have way more leverage than Reddit users; at this point they should still be OpenAI's greatest asset. Even once this is fixed (which they obviously will do, given they got caught), it's still going to cause a major loss of trust in the entire leadership.
Not so fast: my daughter could not afford Khan’s tutoring service at a crucial time in her development. I was out of work, had depleted our savings supporting the family, and couldn’t afford it. I pleaded for a waiver. The answer was no and basically “go eff myself.” My daughter lost all confidence in her math aptitude. Her teachers never alerted us as parents about her progress. We’ve been repairing the damage ever since.
We still maintain animal agriculture due to it being considered baseline as everyone was born into it. But seen from a clean slate, as if it wasn't yet adopted, it is a strictly negative practice in almost every measure - health outcomes, water usage, environmental impact, suffering of animals, subsidy burden, and disease risk. It should absolutely be banned.

I know that knee-jerk reactions will cause a lot of people to respond negatively to my comment, but, just like climate change, all the data and science unequivocally support my statements.

We're literally in fiscal year 2025. The report also calls it fiscal year 2025.

Fiscal years are about when you'll pay tax. This is Q1 of four quarters to be reported before Nvidia pays tax in 2025.
What Sam is saying is very different than what I'm saying. I'm saying he should be proactive and just do it, he's saying that if people explicitly reach out to him then he'll do it specifically for them.
Or maybe, just maybe they correctly interpreted "most" as "more than half" and "rarely" as "decidedly less than half", and actually disagree with the statement as is. And what can I say, "reasons like inertia, or lacking the time, or not having the budget to change, or being too tired to learn, or any other such thing" sounds exactly what almost anybody is confronted with -- so it doesn't exactly seem like just an _exception_ to the set of "almost anything".

But it's nice to add words like "autistic", "thinking in extremes", "painful", etc. to terminally bash on those people who are wrong and just can't learn...
Wrap it way up into something ergonomic and idiomatic, like fmt.
To a place with cheaper cost of living. There shouldn't be any homeless people in California. It doesn't make economic sense. They will never be able to get back on their feet again.

Tons of homeless people gathering in any place that has a good social safety net and draining it ruins any city's ability to have a good social safety net. It punishes and ruins the cities that try to lead with compassion.
Why on earth would you want to read the comments? It's not like the bad old days where they only displayed the ones written by the angriest people to ever live, now they're just whichever people are willing so suck up to the creator the hardest.
I'm not shocked. Same story with Wordperfect and all its F-keys, and keyboard shortcuts, over Word and its mouse driven UI. Secretaries at the time hated the change.

Text input is so much faster, and of you're typing a lot, keyboard <-> mouse movements slow you down.
Agreed. Perhaps using VSCode with the Calva plugin if the reader has no previous experience with Emacs.
curious what will be next, once they figure out current wave of "AGI" are not that impressive and new buzz word will be needed to milk VCs.

Recently discovered the Pomera DM250. Closest thing I've seen in form factor to a Psion in an off-the-shelf gadget. Unfortunately, it's just for writing. Has no other apps.

Some of the recent Chinese brand 8 inch and 7 inch laptops also look like a potential contender. Just worried about reliability with them.

Is there an all-in-one program for keeping a tasklist, calendar, and monthly budget, that allows each of these to access data from the others?

Do you have a hundred-page spreadsheet which you control like a switchboard operator that replicates this functionality?

Do you have a big sheet of paper that you write all over and replace at the end of the month?

So often I've thought of a project I'd like to do or plans I should make with somebody and I've ended up forgetting. I feel like when I do note things down, they end up scattered across my notebook, laptop, desktop, phone, and brain. So I'm wondering if some of you have found success with some overarching system that helps you keep track of anything. The closest thing I can think of is Obsidian, which I've found to be incredible for storing written notes, but I feel like it's limited in its capability to plan things into the future. I'd love to be proven wrong, though!
There is no "system" nor "reform" that can magically fix a problem that is fundamentally within the modern human soul. Avarice has become the defining characteristic of most people and that reflects in the culture. If you look with the same critical eyes that you use on the government, big businesses and ultra-rich, and use those critical eyes on people near you including family and friends, then you will be quite uncomfortable.

It's a fiscal year convention. Companies use the following year to reference the fiscal year because the fiscal year is named after the year in which it ends.
Great analogy, I'm not sure tbh. I don't think we will see quite as many unique models as we see unique websites, but I do think we're going to see an increasing number of divergent and specialized models, which lend themselves to routing. I guess the SEO analogy would be "tricking" the neural routing function into thinking your LLM is better than it actually is, there are many techniques already to hone in on neural net weaknesses. Definitely interested to see how the space evolves!
If you have your system time wrong somehow, GitLab will happily tell you a bug fix was closed in 4 hours' time.
What's the typical turn time for a case like this from the time it is filed to the time it is actually in front of a judge/jury? This particular administration only has a guaranteed relevance of about 7 months. It could get extended, or it could get replaced and then cases like this would most likely get dropped.

So, why bring it now?
I have the Enhancer for Youtube extension which solves this problem.

And maybe I'm being an anti-change curmudgeon but the previews below seem to be putting more emphasis into engagement chasing social media by having Google try to convince users to click one more video. It's more distracting from the video you're watching than having it to the side in a widescreen monitor.

Yeah, it’s not just failing to break up monopolies, it’s allowing mergers to go through that would’ve been laughably doomed to fail to pass regulatory muster in earlier decades.
Also the oil paint doesn't have its own memory banks that someone could accuse of being trained on c---- p---. But still, I also wonder if Microsoft's liability would be less if it weren't screening images.
Orthodox, huh? Looks more heterodox than just about anything I've seen. "Scientology C++" would be more descriptive.

Just to shame one out of this bundle of dumb ideas, the motivations behind avoiding exceptions range from "ugh" to "there's extra code injected in there that might be slow or something." This of course kills RAII patterns and a majority of the advantages of using C++.

IMO, the author should develop a new language and name it C+-, preferably using C preprocessor macros instead of a separate parser.
The cost of labor is tied to rent.

People need to pay rent. As the housing crisis spirals and people need more money to pay rent, they will job hop to do so.

I do not have a citation.

I dont like Kelo at all and doubt the current SCOTUS would rules that same, but understand the ruling. That said, in it's defense, the court was weighing the claimed benefit of thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of tax revenue. They would not have ruled the same if the public benefit were a park bench with no economic value?
I have worked for multiple startups (Malwarebytes, Vicarious, Rad AI, Explosion AI, Aptible, Kenna Security). Not once have I seen an exit agreement that stated they would steal back my vested equity if I didn't sign. This is definitely not "standard restrictions".

Right. The big change is bad faith argument developing into unapologetic bad faith developing into weaponised bad faith.

It accelerated rapidly with some trends like the Tea Party, Gamergate, Brexit, Andrew Wakefield, covid antivax, and the Ukraine situation, and is in evidence on both sides of the trans rights debate, in doxxing, in almost every single argument on X that goes past ten tweets, etc.

It's something many on the left have generally identified as worse from the right wing or alt.right.

But this is just because it's easier to categorise it when it's pointing at you. It's actually the primary toxicity of all argument in the 21st century.

And the reason is that weaponised bad faith is addictive fun for the operator.

Basically everyone gets to be Lee Atwater or Roger Stone for a bit, and everyone loves it.

Frankly this is a very bad decision. Because now you have C code, Rust code, and yet another language's code, and you're left with a mess that you have to integrate too.
Semi off-topic, but the trend of AI influencers adopting the all-lowercase communication style in professional conversation has been very annoying. It makes them appear completely unserious.

They're not used as labels directly (we're not trainig an LLM which outputs text), they are used as an intermediate step, which is then used to compute a simple score which the neural score function is then trained on. The neural score function takes prompts and latent model representations in, and produces a score from 0-1
An incentive to stay on Windows and/or update to their new "AI-enabled" Surface line? Most regular users will just parse this as "oh that cool generative art AI thing comes built into Windows!".

> The fact that it ensures to not take a snapshot of DRM content but also explains that it doesn't hide PASSWORDS in snapshots is INSANE to me!

The article gives the impression that passwords will only be captured if they are displayed. So there are only three scenarios where I can envision this happening: the end user opens a document that contains their passwords, the end user opens their password manager and chooses to display their passwords, or the user chooses to reveal the password field.

Case 1 is bad practice, plain and simple. (Though I will acknowledge that people do it.)

Case 2 and case 3 can probably be fixed, provided the software doesn't define custom controls, since there is already the option to protect DRM content. Microsoft should have provided this functionality and given developers time to adopt it (not doing so is a bad move on their part).

On the whole I think this is just trying to rush things to market, rather than the product of any form of malice.

That being said, I am glad that I don't use Windows outside of the work environment. Something also tells me that my employer is also likely to disable this feature. (They have more to loose from a data breach of confidential data than they have to gain from tracking employee computer usage.)
No one off contracts. lol. What nonsense. Then why did bother to have a meeting? You handled that one like a boss.
I don't believe the US government is capable of making tough decisions like that, or anything that inconveniences anyone really. The next crisis is going to be every person for themselves, either directly or indirectly.

I don't understand? Which way? Making people overestimate or underestimate risk? I think it works both ways in medicine and public health. In public health (as evidenced by the pandemic) people are still vulnerable to acting on small absolute numbers because they don't see how they compare to the population. Likewise they might ignore a factor that seems like a low percentage thing because they don't get how this translates into real absolute numbers.
I'm theory, prosecutions are a civil service function, not a political function. Changes in administration might change the leadership and what areas are prioritized, but once you have a case, it really shouldn't matter who is in office.

In theory.
They’re only apologetic because they got caught in a PR shitstorm. They would not otherwise. Being an sh*bag company that claws back equity is a huge red flag and can drive away the critical people who make up the company. They started an arms race, but with companies with much deeper pockets. Meta will be more than happy to gobble up any and every OpenAI employee who no longer wants to work there.
The BJP (India) uses the same strategies as the Chinese Communist Party. I love both India and China but I self-censor when talking about either because I do not want to be targeted by the "$0.50 army" (CCP) or the BJP IT cells.

Gotta admit I still have ptsd from working with a company that invested big in WYSE terminals early on. We were trying to switch over to terminal emulators and really wanted to just use one of the myriad of vt100 emulators avialable. Every single day was a different variant of "wtf is this. I wish they had just used terminfo"

So I don't know how needed it is anymore. But I will have a hard time giving up terminfo and going over to the darkside.
And also, a variable can be rebound in later bindings!
