Haha, when I initially wrote my comment I referenced a little inside 'joke' of sorts I have with some friends in games, referring to stuff as 'Japanese pricing.' I decided to snip that off because I figured it might be too esoteric. But I guess none of us is a snowflake, are we? The thing I'd observe is that Japanese pricing fails, hard - even for Japanese games. It seems a handful of Japanese publishers have realized this. NIS is a great example - they publish a huge amount of stuff, nearly all of it's niche, and it sells crazy well - because it's sold at a reasonable price. SEGA is the equal but opposite example. They still seem to think this is 2001 and they're selling games on a ringfenced console to players starved for content. And so their games are completely flopping.

Compare Etrian Odyssey (SEGA) with Disgaea (NIS). Both games are a fairly comparable genre, with fairly comparable production values, targeting the same demographic, and both were also PC ports/remakes of older classics. Disgaea is less than half the cost and has is pushing an order of magnitude greater sales. Also I think the concept of "niche" is somewhat obsolete.. kind of circling back to the point that none of us a snowflake. The market is so huge and diverse. Even for the most niche titles, there tends to be huge market potential, because "niche" markets now a days are larger than the whole market not that long ago. Games like Mount and Blade are just niche Eurojank embodied, yet has sold millions. Siralim is another great niche game. It sells excellently, especially considering the dev keeps releasing pretty much the same game ever couple of years.

Finally, the West is an increasingly small part of the overall market. There are huge numbers of Chinese, Russian, Indian, and so on gamers. Region pricing kind of adapts to this, but not really. In terms of exchange rates it's extremely favorable, but what really matters is PPP - how much a unit of currency is "worth" in domestic prices. So for instance the $45 game is sold for about 1000 rupees. I don't live in India but a quick search turns up a rent-by-day place in the cheaper parts of India can go as low as 100 rupee a day. So even though $45 exchanges for like 4000 rupees, it's worth far less (in terms of how far it goes in America) than even the 1000 rupees that the game is sold for India. So when you set the price of your game high in dollar terms, you're setting it to just LOL terms for most of the world.
Glad to hear!

Reinforced concrete should be the default in every seismic area (there are plenty of them). If however it is forbidden everywhere else it would create an unfair advantage. Also I immagine that unnecessary use of reinforced concrete makes up well under 1% of its global use, and you were whining because the article showed some cool pieces of brutalist architecture. If only 10% of concrete structures were that cool :)

We use the term "pre-googling" for this sort of "information retrieval". You might have some concept in your head and you want to know the exact term for it, once you get the term you're looking for from LLM you'll move to Google and search the "facts".

This might be a weird example for native english speakers but recently I just couldn't remember the term for graph where you're allowed to move in one direction and cannot do loops. LLM gave me the answer (directed acyclic graph or DAG)right away. Once I got the term I was looking for I moved on to Google search.

Same "pre-googling" works if you don't know if some concept exits.
I can't understand this. It seems like don quixote trying to defeat windmills.

Yes! So its a matter of priorities. Is privacy or retention most important? Than you can decide how to track users.

Nobody questioned the basic human dignity of Reiser, and nobody claimed that we should memory hole prisoners forever.

What was questioned was the good judgment of Brennan and the list moderators for posting Reiser's manifesto to LKML.

If getting your manifesto posted to LKML was a part of the basic standards of human dignity, California Health Care Facility would allow Reiser to post there himself. (And arguably LKML would not need moderators either - after all, declining a submission would violate basic human dignity.)
Obviously it'll be up to some court to decide, but I don't think openai did themselves any favours in a possible voice protection lawsuit, when Sam Altmann tweeted out "her". That makes it seem very much like the imitation was intentional.

Additionally I think you're understating the similarity to the Midler v Ford case. It has a similar pattern where they first contacted the "original", then hired an impersonator. The song wasn't at issue, they had a license to that part.

I think this part of some of the court documents[0] is especially relevant. Hedwig was the sound alike hired.

> Hedwig was told by Young & Rubicam that "they wanted someone who could sound like Bette Midler's recording of [Do You Want To Dance]." She was asked to make a "demo" tape of the song if she was interested. She made an a capella demo and got the job.

> At the direction of Young & Rubicam, Hedwig then made a record for the commercial. The Midler record of "Do You Want To Dance" was first played to her. She was told to "sound as much as possible like the Bette Midler record," leaving out only a few "aahs" unsuitable for the commercial. Hedwig imitated Midler to the best of her ability.

> After the commercial was aired Midler was told by "a number of people" that it "sounded exactly" like her record of "Do You Want To Dance." Hedwig was told by "many personal friends" that they thought it was Midler singing the commercial. Ken Fritz, a personal manager in the entertainment business not associated with Midler, declares by affidavit that he heard the commercial on more than one occasion and thought Midler was doing the singing.

> Neither the name nor the picture of Midler was used in the commercial; Young & Rubicam had a license from the copyright holder to use the song. At issue in this case is only the protection of Midler's voice.

So the fact that us random internet commentors did not recognize her voice doesn't seem to matter in cases like these. It's enough that the sound alike had been told to mimic the original voice, and that people familiar with the voice be fooled.

The miscalculation was than allies didn't do a parade in Berlin. This way Germans didn't understand how hard they lost WWI, so reparations seemed unfair. That mistake wasn't repeated on WWII.

And your evidence? Evidence that human beings “are made for” anything?

All of recorded history tells the story of human beings learning how to moderate and control their impulses and emotions. We need to learn that because we live with other people, as a social species.

If human beings are made for anything, it isn’t for living alone. All social species moderate and tune their behavior to get along with others. When individuals can’t or won’t do that we call it narcissistic and sociopathic.

I'm not sure what you are on about. Plain and simple, countries like Australia are throwing away the baby with the bathwater by basically giving up on decent crypto. They are making it easier for the likes of China to spy on them who can and will abuse any informational advantage they can get. This long term puts them at a disadvantage internationally. I doubt this is in any way intentional. That would be stupid.

The type of politics that drives this is older, technically challenged politicians (aka. idiots) responding to pressure from minority groups whining about pornography and other things they don't like. The priorities seem to be appeasing groups like that in order to secure the next election cycle. By essentially sacrificing security, which they clearly have a limited understanding off.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. Some countries don't get their priorities straight because they are being led by idiots. It's indeed a system failure. The solution is wielding a giant clue bat and causing relevant stakeholders (military, financial sector, etc.) to wake up and push back and doing something about it.

The reason cryptography is still legal in most civilized places is that we've had a few rounds of that over the past decades.
To my eye, this does not look good.

I consider myself to be quite proficient in bash. I write a lot of bash professionally. I've written a compiler (transpiler?) for a strongly typed configuration language that outputs bash.

There are three main problems I see here.

(1) Pipelines, subshells, and external dependencies.

The example on the website compiles a conditional `if age < 18` into this monstrosity:

if [ $(echo ${__0_age} '<' 18 | bc -l | sed '/\./ s/\.\{0,1\}0\{1,\}$//') != 0 ]

Pipelines and subshells are "slow". Not tremendously. But it adds up. Also, what's the point of having types in your language if you're not going to use native arithmetic when applicable:

if (( __0_age < 18 ))

Perfectly fine to alert users that floats will require an external dependency (such as dc), but integers will be handled in native arithmetic contexts.

Seems mildly insane that a conditional this simple would require a pipeline including `echo`, `bc`, and `sed`. Now the user needs to ensure the correct external CLI tools are installed, and match the expected versions. Hope they account for BSD vs. GNU variants. Eek.

(2) Namerefs.

> Arrays cannot be nested due to the Bash limitations

Arrays absolutely can be nested... with some trickery. Consider:

# Top level array w/ pointers to children.
declare -a arr1=( arr2 arr3 )

# Child arrays.
declare -a arr2=( item1 item2 )
declare -a arr3=( item3 item4 )

for ref in "${arr1[@]}" ; do
declare -n sub_array="$ref"
printf '%s\n' "${sub_array[@]}"
done

The `declare -n` line is where the magic happens: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Shell-Par...

This is a fairly trivial operation that I'd assume the authors would know about. It's fast and allows for the creation of arbitrarily complex objects. Even rudimentary classes.

(3) Just learn bash.

I'm perpetually confused by people taking every opportunity to not just... learn bash. An otherwise skilled programmer will somehow forget everything they've learned when beginning a shell script.

Surely it can't be harder to learn the fundamentals of shell scripting than to learn whatever flavor-of-the-month alternative is?
It says to use a multiplexer for tabs and splits, but doesn't that negate some of the performance claims?

The first responsibility here lies with the owners of these domains letting them expire, of course. But this is such a simple and effective way gather data for phishing, identity theft and fraud that it will hopefully somehow be handled better.

The best I can come up with is that domains used like this should really have TLD level protection from resale. With email so often being the key to a whole account, letting the access to that be put at risk by an IT admin letting a domain expire or an organisation simply forgetting about an old domain is kind of insane.

My point, if you can't get adult professionals with wages admit they fk'd up, there's zero and even negative expectations of unpaid teenager contestants.

And that's what I am seeing happening right now.

You have unacceptable amount of leniency towards organizers, in "don't know how much time did they have". They should've had enough to scrutinize their short list. Perhaps it all looks like the winning submission.
The only miscalculation in WWI was that there wasn't allied parade in Berlin so Germans didn't understand how hard they lost. So reparations seemed like unfair backroom deal. This mistake wasn't repeated in WWII.

In case of today's Russia, Ukrainian parade in NATO equipment on the Red Square should teach Russians clearly how hard they lost so their ambitions are crushed.

Thing is the "The openness and modularity of PCs allowed users to customize their machines, create what they wanted without restrictions and maintain control over their digital experience. However, this open spirit that once defined the PC era has been gradually eroding, giving way to a new age of closed, tightly controlled computing." was only due to a mistake on IBM's part.

IBM never imagined the PC would be taken away from them, the vertical integration market we have been slowly going back to, was the common way of selling 8 and 16 bit computers, until PC's came to be, and Compaq took advantage of it.

The thin razor margins of PC components, the commoditization of computing, are most likely the main drivers for going back to that model.

Sure sounds like degrading Reiser below what would be afforded to a random person who has restricted means of communication. I hope he can affect other people "even from in here". Humans are social and communicate.

> California Health Care Facility would allow Reiser to post there himself

While I don't know much about that specific facility, there's lots of issues with prisoner treatment already. Are you saying they're at a really high standard and should be the benchmark in this case? (Or that the US prison system reaches that level in general?)
Is it worth it? Should we fight against search engine with workarounds like this? Looks like AI is just another problem with Google Search. But maybe I don't feel this pain like you do. I've fixed them all about a year ago by switching to Kagi and never looked back.

Well, maybe at the beginning a little bit, but I like Kagi results more than Google now.
Not to be confused with KiTTY, the (seemingly abandoned) Windows SSH client based on PuTTY.
Reducing the signal to noise ratio improves the results though. This is a classical search relevance problem.
Honest question - why still use Google at all? Whenever DDG became good enough (seven? ten? years ago?) I used it exclusively. Lately I use a mix and have moved on from DDG, but I still never went back to Google and don't understand how people can tolerate it; I find the results really bad.

my wife is using win11 and I was checking it out from time to time. I didn't notice the taskbar is revertible to the old style, since when is that available and is that builtin or achievable with 3rd party software?

most of my annoyance comes down to the increased telemetry, ads everywhere, and the overall look of the system, dumbing the UI down basically.but I do have concerns of them breaking compatibility with older apps as well.
Not listening to ads is never stealing
I have had to implement it but still I wouldn't use it directly for an interview.
I like the web feature, specifically when you are researching. Can understand the "hiding" at this point, as I guess they are still figuring out the best place for it. Sundar Pichai in some interview said that generative search only appears on some specific queries. If that is true, and they have some logic to determine which experience to show (i think i might be wrong here), then would love to see "web" option as default or in the top strip for research type queries where it's most needed.
Seems like the other lesson is every time you're adding a 9 to your uptime by fixing a bug, it's going to take longer each time to find those issues, either on wall time or dev time.
You're right and I was imprecise. 2. is how RAG is implemented in most cases. (I wouldn't call 1. 'RAG' exactly, though?)
I agree on lawsuits being likely and needed to establish precedent. CC-BY-SA specifies "other rights such as publicity, privacy, or moral rights may limit how you use the material".

At some point, maybe poorly-trained chatbots that consistently produce what's seen as avoidably/negligantly poor results may become regulated. Like how if a company poorly trains its employees, it is on the hook for their employees' behavior.

US should return to isolationism now. It never was an actual superpower. It just convincingly played one from a distance. Nearly every US engagement in recent times just shown how inapt US is at effecting anything anywhere through military action.

Some years ago, I saw a wallet called [Spark](https://sparkwallet.io/) that let you generate a QR-code to view in your Apple Wallet and Apple Watch Wallet. It was for receiving over lightning, not sending.

I guess with unified [BIP21](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0021.mediawi...) QR-codes, anyone can already add a RECEIVING wallet code to Apple Wallet today.

I don't think Apple want's to be the middle man in receiving Bitcoin payments though because “tainted” coins exist in the C-suite mind, and they would rather not receive and handle those.

But Jack Mallers recently told me he wants to integrate Apple Pay into [Strike](https://strike.me), so who knows, something similar will exist soon.
> These actions, while serious, should not define Pai’s entire life

Too late for that. Very late. Unluckily his mind is set on pretending too much. Which is ubiquitous and actually encouraged in life to a great degree (not like this should be an excuse for adapting).

What is not late is to seek a different career in life. Be an influencer, praised youtuber or a political adviser perhaps, but the science world needs much different mindset. His reputation is annihilated by himself beyond repair anyway. The useful side of the story: be it a learning experience for the others.
Sure, but hosting costs are a very small part of the costs of running a website (and tbh, its super unclear what hosting costs do and do not include. Do they include the cost of servers? Is it just peering costs and renting rackspace? At the very least they do not include staff. Servers are pretty useless if you don't have anyone to hook them up and manage them)
Disagree, this is too dismissive. Commons, Wikidata, and Wiktionary are all useful. Especially Wiktionary; probably one of the best online dictionaries imo. Often has a lot of unique info that's hard to find even in dictionaries, very good etymologies. All useful in ML.
