> At what point do we call behaviour like this bigotry?

When big tech stops being creepy. Companies like Microsoft, Facebook, Google, etc. have taught us to be constantly vigilant, if we want to have any sort of privacy. They’re always finding new creative ways to datamine us. No reason we’d trust OpenAI either.
Terminal.app, even, is no slouch among terminal programs. Uncommonly-great input latency, for one thing.
So... I think maybe the same could have been said about writing once upon a time. "What if everyone could write, we'd flood the market with poorly written books!". Well we went from no one being able to write to almost everyone being able to. But just because everyone can technically write, it doesn't mean that everyone is a _writer_.

I believe that the same goes for AI tools for games. Yes, more people will technically be able to produce games. But I think that will shift the focus; it won't be enough with an impressive tech demo in the future, instead you have to connect to the human side of people when you build games.

We now see it as a natural thing that everyone can read and write. We don't want to go back to a time where it was only for a select few elites. If we turn things around and imagine that the technology exists that makes it possible for anyone to build games; then should we keep that from them? In that world, why would we want to gate keep game creation to only people that have time and money to go to a game school or equivalent? You might think "well everyone can learn on their free time", but that's not necessarily true.

I think we will see more human, and more personal experiences that touch us deeper, because they no longer can just be about the technology (since the technology will be commoditized). That's what I'm personally excited about and why I think it makes sense to work on this.

I do agree thought that it can feel overwhelming to look at all this in aggregate. There are already hundreds of thousands of games, why do we need more? But maybe looking at things in aggregate is not the right way to look at it. There have been countless conversations between people throughout history. Does that mean that a conversation is meaningless? I don't think so, and I think (some types of) games will move into this space too; something more personal, something we don't count in aggregate, something that is between maybe smaller groups of people, but more meaningful to those groups of people. At least that's something I'd be excited to see.
I think Recall is a window into the future of computers—but this version isn’t going to be successful. It may not even be possible to succeed with this model at all.

I think a lot of people would consider it a _feature_ if they could simply ask their computer “what was my banking password?” and not understand at all the difference between storing credentials in Recall vs storing them in LastPass.

For me the killer compromise is that 3 months isn’t _nearly_ long enough. This wouldn’t be useful to me until the history extends to more than a decade. I don’t always need that, but for anything less than that I very rarely need the help—it’s at most a convenience, not a new capability.
As others pointed out, this is a huge problem in the making.

Someone who genuinely deserves the suspension (e.g. posts illegal content) will use the service. They'll get their suspension lifted because the company trusts the internal employee who filled out the form. Said person will continue to post illegal content and be suspended again. Enough true negatives like this and eventually the company will discover the employee is using their authority to let in randos. If the company is smart, they mark accounts that have been lifted by internal employees, so they will discover the first time it happens.

The best probable scenario for this is that said employee gets fired. Presumably, the company trusts said employee knows who they are vetting because they are risking their job; and I'm confident they would not be happy knowing they are using this service. But the worst is that the company stops allowing all internal employees from filling out forms for anyone.

At the very least, if this site is a joke, it should put up a disclaimer that indicates such. Not just a disclaimer to vet the rando, because I doubt an internal employee can do so any better than the customer support can. It should actively remove functionality like sending or publicing emails so that posters and developers can't actually use it to contact each other and exchange money.
i feel like you are treating 'dumb' as synonymous with 'reprehensible'.

worthy of public challenge? we're commenting on an internet forum. not using a terminal because it has added a feature that is opt-in seems silly to me, it doesn't have to be racist or genocidal to reach the threshold of 'worthy to comment on'
Reiser's seeking eventual parole.

He may be expressing magnanimity, but a smart psychopath in his situation would act similarly, given the incentives involved.
But that idea you describe is exactly what would make the LLM stop working. The "LLM miracle" comes from the fact that all that text is not random[0]. There is a lot of information encoded in what phrases, sentences, paragraphs have been written (and how often), vs. a vastly larger amount of nearly identical texts that were not written. The "complex formula" used is... reality, as perceived and understood by people. LLMs pick up on that.

--

[0] - Well, most of it anyway; I bet the training set contains some amount of purely random text, for example technical articles discussing RNGs and showcasing their output. Some amount of noise is unavoidable.
A proxy yes. But not everyone leverages it that way. So it really depends. Some do just want to hoard as much as possible, others want to lobby, others want fame, others want legacy.

Money helps with all those, but will not passively do that stuff.
Can you link to your website? Maybe it's about the website itself, not the tools you are using on it.

PS: If you want to avoid both Hotjar and Posthog, you can go with a self-hosted solution like UXWizz, maybe it is less likely to have issues with ads if you don't send external requests
It also shifted my perception from “omniscient super app close to AGI” to “horny waifu assistant”.
"The item you've requested is not currently available in Apple Music in the United States"
No worries—and it's clear that it's your personal problem. I think it's always valuable to present a counterpoint in these comment threads so that less-informed readers know the issue isn't totally clear and that the truth likely lies somewhere between your point and mine. I apologize if I came across as argumentative—my goal is to expand the scope of the discussion.
Paying code monkeys fair wages ain’t a good way to get rich …
This is an asia thing, not a Japan thing. Saw this in most of South East Asia.
It's inevitable as long as the model is "don't charge the users directly, figure out some other way to make money instead."
IMO you are entirely correct OP, and it's to everyone's detriment. A huge talent pool locked out of creating new forms of value because investors are too cheap to bump salary from what is arbitrarily considered "pretty good but fair" to "competitive with top rates". Seriously, I love some of the comments here saying $300K/yr is obscene but implying $150-200K would be fine. This difference is a rounding error in the grand scheme of the money involved.
Writing Go code for builds is not a great plan. I saw how badly this went with Gradle and Java builds, and Go is going to be even more verbose.
Copilot+ PC architecture requires Proton and another way of secure boot, good luck trying to use everything from Linux side.
And the light-weight https://feather.wiki/ (which is not too different from tiddlywiki)
My immediate thought was that this wasn't ScaroJo but they wanted a voice that sounded like her. Which... No kidding, why do we think she was cast in Her in the first place?
Fun to see Dresden mentioned here, but I'm curious which theater you mean? Schauburg, Thalia and Programmkino Ost are there. I can understand the KiK is missing and Zentralkino is probably still too new. I think the Kino im Dach is no more and the KIF also unfortunately died :(

By the way, we also have kinokalender.com, which - as one really can't tell by the domain lol - is Dresden-specific and a great resource.
In a bell jar?
It's kinda telling that there's enough demand for freelance tech support that this could exist. Imagine what would happen is Google et al actually did provide support.

I'm not sure this is the win for malicious actors that people claim it is. It's gotta be cheaper to buy/make a new account that pay to recover an existing one.
This doesn't seem to be buffering inserts to ClickHouse: https://github.com/Openpanel-dev/openpanel/blob/c90848765a6a...

So any major website will have problems with it. I would suggest moving this into a stream (NATS, Kafka) or just having some sort of service that buffers events, then offloads to Clickhouse in batch.
Its essential for the Chinese to have a strong navy because they depend on imports of food and energy. What happens when country X blocks the Persian Gulf or the Malacca strait? China needs the ability to unilaterally restore maritime trade. Until they can do that they will lose even a war with Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, anybody.
The main draw to starting a startup is not to get rich from the salary, but from the equity. Founders are not really equivalent to employees, they create value from nothing and revolutionise industries, if they're doing it right.

It all comes down to the classic question: do you want a high chance (a%) of getting a decent amount of money ($b) or a very small chance (c%) of getting an enormous amount of money ($d)?

The values of a, b, c and d are different depending on your background, experience, connections, hunger for risk, etc. You have to find the decision thresholds that make sense for your situation.
100% this, it’s honestly a bit embarrassing reading through some of these comments or Gitlab issues (“I would donate if you remove this feature”) as a fellow developer. I expected a bit more of my peers on a developer focused tool.
> overall it's generally pretty ok

That's the kind of glowing praise I'd get from my 8th grade Geometry teacher when I got a C on a test.
I want free range, morally sourced voices.
I believe Yakuake/Kuake for KDE first introduced it some 20 or so years ago. I’ve been using it since its early days on Linux.

EDIT: looks like someone even investigated that: https://babbagefiles.xyz/quake-drop-down-terminal-history/
> Appealing only sends you through a kafkaesque circle of hell of support staff who are unable to answer any questions or fix anything.

This is strange to me in that you're implying there is actually staff. Are you actually having a human employed by Google acting in the role of support that cannot help solve the issue?
I'm pointing out the article you referenced is saying its bad, the reason it says is exactly what I'm saying. It's fine short term but it's bad overall.

They're just saying in our debt fueled world, you can't merely print money to get out of jail free in a deflationary scenario as eventually the debt obligation gets too large relative to your shrinking economy size.
We live in this world unfortunately where it's bad, in a hypothetical world without all the debt, it's still bad in the long term for the other reasons I've mentioned.
I find myself disappointed in the lack of helium cooled silicon chips in the modern year of 2024.
A bit conflicted here, as I don't want to add the -CC flags to my tmux scripts, because all bespoke scripts already work great and are totally cross platform regardless of which term-emu is in use. It's a consistent experience across the board.

In the past I was really into iTerm2, when I was new to being a sw developer. Now I've learned to appreciate and favor having "good enough" tools available universally.

I also suspect there are tons of terminal.app users out there who'd never bother to comment about it on a message board, because they're busy getting stuff done and then simply move on with life.
My understanding is that Enterprise is mostly about smoother delivery of content. E.g. Google has those informational summaries in search results, and it's easier for it to keep those current if there's a stream of updates it can subscribe to, rather than having to constantly download the full Wikipedia database dumps and parse them out. It also puts it all into conveniently formatted responses, and tries to do some signaling of content reliability.

The API responses do include information about the content license, which differs a bit between different wikimedia properties: https://helpcenter.enterprise.wikimedia.com/hc/en-us/article...

(I work for the WMF. I don't work on the Enterprise stuff, or have any insider knowledge of it. E.g. I used Google as an illustrative example, but I have no idea whether they're actually using this service. :D)
The ability to solve novel problems is tested like a marathon, not like a 100m race.
Chrome implements APIs that allow accessing files on the disk.

So Edna either stores notes in localStorage or in a directory of your choosing on disk.

In Edna you can right-click for context menu to switch between localStorage and disk.

If you ask: "how do the browser APIs work", you can look at https://github.com/kjk/edna/blob/main/src/fileutil.js

Basically, there's `window.showDirectoryPicker()` to ask user for permission to access directory (either read only or read write). And then using that directory handle you can read list of files, read / write files or create new files.
Point 3 is about risk not time. Most founders would rather have a 100% chance of their stock being worth 1 billion than a 1% chance of being worth 200 billion and a 99% chance of being worth zero. For VCs, the choice is opposite.

Exactly. Choice of the separator '/' doesn't disambiguate.
Yes, that's the Potemkin village that broke this camel's back. It was linked in an announcement blog post yesterday.

You have to build two in-development libraries, one from ToT, one of which is a dev branch to make it compile for iOS on a Mac temporarily.

The dev branch doesn't actually exist.

If you use the only branch by the author on the repo, it doesn't work.

The dev branch that doesn't work is a few commits on top of ToT from 2 months ago.

At the end of that non-existent road is a model that can't end messages properly, in MyThing.app that uses llama.cpp, or LM Studio, or Ollama, or MS cloud API.

I can't ship on that, and neither can anyone else.
wait a second, the improvement is 30 seconds to 10-15? how is that workable? that would drive me insane

maybe i'm spoilt, but modern frontend with hot reloading on save is just about instant.

even when i used kotlin (spring boot ~2.3), re-running a test with the intellij compiler took around 1 second.

is kotlin-js really usable with that performance?
The student protests, which are for obvious reasons not representative of the whole population, are themselves numerically a small portion of the faculty and staff at the institutions they're taking place at. Excellent recent examples of this: repeated instances of walkouts or sit/stand protests at commencement ceremonies, where everyone involved is arranged out on a field, almost as if to make these kinds of tallies easy to make (but serious tallies of protests at Columbia, Chicago, and UCLA have also been made). It just doesn't take a lot of people to make a lot of noise.

The "10% undecided" thing is a statistical null result, mirroring the last Democratic reelection campaign (Obama's, against Romney), which didn't include any attempted organized effort to lodge protest votes with "undecided" and still ran up those counts.

Polling --- Pew is a good place to start --- shows Israel below every other "major" issue, even among 18-29 year olds --- except (ironically) student debt. The issue gets less important as you go up in age brackets into cohorts that actually turn out and vote.

The groundswell of support for Palestine in America is, I believe, largely an Internet phenomenon. It's easy to forget that we're the weird people who tune in to this stuff. Most people just live their lives, and, for reasons that are straightforward to understand, care a lot more that a 12 pack of Diet Coke got weirdly expensive than about whatever is happening across the world. We have the same problem marshaling support for Ukraine!
If there are many different ways to represent what something 'literally is', then how do we know for sure that ASCII '1' isn't a true representation of the literal number 1, just considered under different operations? We can say that 1 + 1 + 1 ≠ 1 (in Z), and we can also say that 1 + 1 + 1 = 1 (in Z/2Z): the discrepancy comes from two different "+" operations.

For that matter, how do we know what infinite sets like Z and Q 'literally are', without appealing to a system of axioms? The naive conception of sets runs headlong into Russell's paradox.
That does create clusters for users that work at the same company, with the same company-issued devices. Or iPhones in a New York City block.
As the complexity of a model increases, so does the complexity of determining correct dimensions and object placement. At some point the work becomes complex enough that I spend most of my modeling time cleaning up equations rather than finishing the model. A solver would theoretically replace many of the equations.

As a trivial example, let's say I want a square and a diamond and I want the diamond's corner to touch the square on the side. It would look something like this:

square([10, 10], center=true);
dx = 5 + 5 * sqrt(2);
translate([dx, 0, 0]) rotate([0, 0, 45]) square([10, 10], center=true);

This is a simple case, but what if either shape is replaced with a hexagon, a gear, or a duck? What if I decide there should be some other shapes between them? What about...?

Ideally, it seems like I should be able to tell OpenSCAD that the square contains a reference point on one side, and one of the corners of the diamond is also a reference point, and OpenSCAD should translate the diamond however is needed to make those two reference points match.

Alternatively, I should use some other software that lets me do something like that.
I don’t see anything about Aspire being Azure only. The docs specifically call out that it’s cloud agnostic, though Azure specific support appears to be a first class citizen.
Biden administration signals it will support push to sanction ICC
Almost. The never-called code path may nonetheless reside in memory under control of a process with certain privileges, which does make it a tad less secure than a binary resting on disk. It’s also far more likely to be invoked by mistake (a bug) and you can’t totally remove it or take away its execute flag to drop that risk to basically zero.
In your country maybe, and it narrows it down to approximately one.
As it turns out, yes: https://godbolt.org/z/xEqrx5dY4

SSE2 adds the PSRL/PSLL operators, which are basically i128 shift operators on vector registers (i.e., shift continues between lanes), so you can pretty easily map i128 to vector registers if you're only doing and/or/xor/shifts.
OpenAI has promised a lot of things, yet seems to be focused more on regulations to capture market share.
This can have problems on mobile
Something very specific like Sam Altman asking to use her voice nine months ago and her saying no, and then him asking again *two days* before the 4o demo, and then on the day of the demo him tweeting the single word "her", the name of the movie where she plays an AI voice?
The Stanford Startup and the MIT Startup (2013)
This is the next step after Plan 9. We need new a new memory-based filesystem though.
This actually sounds like a good counter-espionage tool. Feed all you can find about an adversary into a LLM and ask it what the adversary would do in present or hypothetical scenarios. Tweak from differences and you can peer inside their "thoughts".
Facebook doesn't need the money. Twitter on the other hand...
Looks great as a self-host alternative if/when you make self-hosting feasible.
I’m not sure this argument tracks as well as the top one.

The pay that founders and early players get is nothing to scoff at — many folks would be quite very happy for that pay and would happily fake their way to it. What’s preventing _that_ from happening?
"Useful" were the things that have allowed us to create new technologies: from internet to medicine to rockets. Belief in idealism not only did not produce anything, it did not even make any measurable impact.

Parts of the work of Aristotle that were based on idealism are the parts that have been discarded as hindering understanding of physics or plain wrong.
Talking of Trumpian

He's looking very stressed lately

I noticed there is a throbbing vein on his temple just like "Stressed Eric" the TV show character used to have. Remember stressed eric?

Talking of Spam though more spamhead.

I can imagine Trumpian with no hair. bald as a badger.

He will never be man enough to shave of that whispy golden mane.

I would vote for him of he shaved his hair off.

Now that would be a wonderful sight folks.

I had a dream the other night that I was surfing down Trumpians quiff.

>if they could simply ask their computer “what was my banking password?”

And the computer would reply "I'm sorry, I have no record of Baking Pastor", based on how well these AI assistants understand me.
What a concise, informative answer this is. You write well.

FreeCAD’s (well, OpenCascade’s) issues with fillets and chamfers appear to be most acute with a subset of your third point: sometimes adding one involves the new feature fully consuming another edge. This is unsolved in OCC and it’s why sometimes even infinitesimally changing the depth of the fillet or chamfer is enough to stop an edge being destroyed.
> For any given console, even those that achieve legendary status, the game quality follows a Pareto distribution, 80% is crap, 20% is worth playing after the console has left the public mind.

Is this just your best guess? Because you sound confident and then cite the Pareto distribution, but just like a certain Internet personality, there’s no data to support a claim you’re making but it does _sound_ factual.
Likely, this will be illegal, especially if users aren't aware their screens are being recorded. Furthermore that screenshots of activity are stored in the Azure cloud.

Developers building it are probably thinking about Security Considerations, but are getting pushback from product managers. So data leak is imminent.
I honestly was biased against BlueSky when I first heard about it. But after a few years trying with Mastodon, I must say BlueSky immediately solved problems I had with Mastodon.

One of them being the feeds: it really does work well. On Mastodon I can follow people/hashtags or even multiple servers (e.g. with Fedilab), but they just don't get organized in feeds. And it turns out that I am more interested in feeds than in servers.
You are assuming each atom represents one bit. But each atom could represent 2^N states (charge, spin, location, etc) in which case you could store 2^(166+N) bits on Earth!
