> The controversy was caused by the fact that the PSN requirement and country bans weren't enforced on launch, so people bought a game that then stopped being available to them.

From the article it doesn't sound like those people are getting banned though. It's specifically the people who use a VPN to purchase the game in another region. So it's not the people just trying to play their game that they bought on launch, it's the people trying to get around region restrictions put in place on the Steam store after the PSN requirement was added.
Thats because its not a vaccine.

The W.H.O changed the definition of the meaning of vaccines early on in the Covid scare period. To allow mRNA jabs to be called vaccines.

I have had all my childhood vaccines, proper vaccines, the covid jab is not a vaccine.

Proper Vaccines input small amounts of the virus, chicken pox, diptheria, measles, mumps, rubella etc into your body allowing your body to work its marvels and develop anti-bodies.

The covid jab does not do this. It does not protect you or other people. Its does not prevent you from catching the illness. So it is not a vaccine.

I worked in Sustance misuse for many years and had no issues having the hepatitis "B" vaccine. I had three injections over a three a month period until, after reguler blood tests, the anti-bodies had developed in my blood.

My childhood vaccines have protected me and others throughout my entire life.

I have not needed to go back every year for a "Booster".

You're correct. But in this case, because the second crime was the reason for the felony charge, and revealed in the closing arguments. The only way it could be have been responded to, is if the judge allowed to defence to go last.

I feel like LLMs just show how utterly stupid we all are, fundamentally.

All it takes is a machine using full sentences, and suddenly we assume it must be smart. This is why humans fall for scams, and this is why humans get into cults.

I guess thats something LLMs can teach us; how flawed we are in evaluating whether someone is speaking the truth without researching anything.
Thankfully, in France they will be paid for by the state. Same in Switzerland
Yes: GPT-4 turbo could receive a meaningful correction and generally change its answer in that direction. GPT-4o is very, very resistant to doing this and will tend to parrot the previous answer, even after admitting it was in error.

I routinely fix this by toggling from GPT-4o to GPT-4t.

> Apple, on the other hand, is also explicit about tags not to be used as an anti-theft device.

Because if people would rely on that then I'm pretty certain some would go and sue Apple if they fail to retrieve their property - e.g. because a thief noticed the "you're being tracked" notification on their iPhone or Android.

OTOH I'd really really REALLY love it if all the modern cordless power tools and their batteries would come with smart tags integrated that work with Apple's, Google's and Samsung's Find My networks.

And I'd love it if I could somehow tell my iPhone, my Android and my wife's Android which tags belong to the respective other... right now when we're travelling for longer than 2h, she gets notifications from my AirPods and keychain tracker, and I get a notification on each of my devices for her stuff. Makes the anti-stalker thing pretty useless if you routinely have to ignore it.

Nice! To expand on my original point I don't understand how someone new to Laravel can take the ecosystem seriously[1].

There is zero distinction here as to what is external to the framework and what's built in. Some ecosystem parts require a payment or a subscription and some don't.

The naming is the worst offender. How am I supposed to know what Envoyer does? Rails does this to an extent but it's easy to understand at a glance that Action Mailer can be used to send emails.

I really like developing with Rails (with or without React, depending on how complex the UI needs to be). In a recent project, though, I had to use a Node.js backend for something where it was OK to choose a somewhat experimental tech stack.

I picked Blitz.js, and I have to say that this is the closest experience I had so far to Rails level rapid development with a Javascript back-end tech; not having to worry about client-server communication is just great. It's a pity that Blitz is nowhere as stable and well documented yet, but it's very very promising.

I just hope that Blitz will grow in adoption and stability, and not become an abandonware like so many other promising JS projects in the past.
Maybe this is good for your pet projects, but on an industry level I can't imagine constant arguing about which flavor of week every special snowflake within the team wants to use.

You don't know this.

There have been countless situations similar to this where license holders have demanded that platforms enforce restrictions. Especially in cases like this where you're dealing with countries that are under sanctions restrictions.

> JS devs aren't as obsessed with their software ecosystem as PHP or Ruby devs.

Sure, individual developers like vanilla js. However corporations like Next.js & React. Because "everyone knows Next.js & React". And the same JS developers who love to tinker in their free time insist their job use Next.js & React. It's a challenge for me because I like to use my own stack that I developed. So I'm mainly focused on freelance or contract work as a sole developer. I'm happy with the tech but I sometimes have to take on work using other stacks. I prefer to avoid JS for these types of gigs.

My experience with Rails back around 2010 was attempting to transcend the constraints Rails imposes on the developer. Which led me to nodejs. People like me left the Rails ecosystem & those who liked Rails largely remained.
Every variant is fine. It's really the kind of thing you do for the most basic possible filter. The point isn't so much what they do, as whether they're able to produce any working code more advanced than Hello World.

But it's also then possible to make use of "one step up" by asking people for variations and seeing whether they can talk about tradeoffs (still at a very basic level, but still).

E.g. in a higher level language, if asked to reverse the order of the words you often get variations of split on space, reverse the resulting array, join. In which case you have an opening to ask them if they can do it lower level, in minimal space.

In which case, the "typical" solution becomes to reverse the string in place, then iterate and find the start of each word, and reverse that in place. Both reverse operations need at most two pointers and a temporary, and can be done with the same function if you take in a start and end pointer.

If you have that helper to reverse a given character range in place, reversing the order of the characters within each word without reversing the word order is just the same thing without reversing the whole string first.

Hey, as long as we are rewriting history, we could go with different names too.

Both the names of the things and which one was positive were arbitrarily assigned and I just think some mistakes were made… from a teachability/usability perspective.

I personally thought the interesting part of the submission was the "every" of the title, ie there might have been some AI algo that could have somehow approximated height and shadows based on multiple satellite images or use some data that is not available for everyone (hence the "every" could have applied)

Currently it's an approximation of shadows based on unreliable open data which is nice but not that special.
Which IDE? I'm using RubyMine (just because it's what I'm used to, and it works well with typescript anyway) and I'm not having that kind of issues.
Just having the info in the listings would already be a big improvement, even if you come across ones where it becomes a nuisance to search. I'd suggest doing that first, and then you'll also see from your dataset which search options is likely to add more/less value.
Of course it is politically motivated.

You are explaining the diferrence between error results and panics in Rust, and maybe this also applies to Go. But this is very much not how exceptions (a word these languages don't even use) are understood in languages which have them.

In Java, C#, C++, for example, exceptions are meant for any situation where the operation you asked for can't be completed successfully, for whatever reason. The most common example is IOException: if you asked to read 200 bytes from a socket, but the connection got interrupted after 100 bytes, that's an IOException. This would not be appropriate as a panic in Go or Rust, for a comparison of the difference in philosophy.
They still haven't fixed that? lmao

Having to constantly correct incorrect answers by LLMs only for them to apologize and give another incorrect answer is what made me lose complete interest in using them.

I figured if I'm knowledgable enough to correct LLMs it's more efficient to not use them at all. What's the point really? Am I teaching them? Because I felt like a teacher who is quizzing a student who keeps on guessing but failing.

Is In-Context Learning Sufficient for Instruction Following in LLMs?
In-context learning (ICL) allows LLMs to learn from examples without changing their weights, which is a particularly promising capability for long-context LLMs that can potentially learn from many examples. Recently, Lin et al. (2024) proposed URIAL, a method using only three in-context examples to align base LLMs, achieving non-trivial instruction following performance. In this work, we show that, while effective, ICL alignment with URIAL still underperforms compared to instruction fine-tuning on established benchmarks such as MT-Bench and AlpacaEval 2.0 (LC), especially with more capable base LMs. Unlike for tasks such as classification, translation, or summarization, adding more ICL demonstrations for long-context LLMs does not systematically improve instruction following performance. To address this limitation, we derive a greedy selection approach for ICL examples that noticeably improves performance, yet without bridging the gap to instruction fine-tuning. Finally, we provide a series of ablation studies to better understand the reasons behind the remaining gap, and we show how some aspects of ICL depart from the existing knowledge and are specific to the instruction tuning setting. Overall, our work advances the understanding of ICL as an alignment technique.

Truly, (for those who don't want to log in) it's just a shared playground conversation with GPT-4, in Danish, where the author got a result they're obviously unhappy with.

Author, do some more robust tests, write a blogpost about it, and submit that instead.
I haven't noticed that GPT-4o hallucinates a lot more than the previous version but I noticed 2 other things of which especially the latter seems relevant here.

1) it's insanely chatty, to a point where it ignores instructions about not doing certain things. I think this behavior is heavily favoured by benchmarks but as somehow who expects concise answers, this model annoys me. Custom instructions don't fully fix this for me.

2) It likes repetitive answers a lot more than the previous version. Meaning that it will try its hardest to generate the followup answer in the same format as the first one. I think this is also the problem in your example.

To my understanding, this is a measure against laziness, where the model would exclude information from the first answer that haven't changed in the followup. I always liked this behavior but maybe you remember the time from a few months ago where many people complained about the laziness of (I believe) 0125.

Btw, while I type this, I notice that this is probably the highest level of first world problems I've ever complained about. There is this amazing almost free tool that answers all my questions and does most of my coding and I dislike it because it provides me with thorough context.
Sony's decision to forbid people in certain countries from playing Helldivers 2 was bad policy, and caused a lot of backlash.

I'm surprised Valve would support Sony's rather unpopular side in this issue. They should be encouraging the use of VPNs to bypass arbitrary and unfair geofencing.

Snowflake usually unloads data to an internal stage bucket in the same region as your snowflake account. If you use an s3 gateway endpoint getting that data is free of egress charges.
But why is PSN not in those countries
I'm guessing the PSN account requirements is to simplify customer support and moderation, so that all Sony PC games can be managed by the same teams and tools currently used for the PlayStation. This sounds like a reasonable decision all things considered. As for why PSN is not available in all countries, I imagine that's a more complicated situation involving legal and regulatory considerations.
> These days though, a more popular idea seem to be to piggy back onto GNSS signals, which are also broadly available (no idea how well they compare in practice to low frequency time beacons), and for which importantly many mobile devices already have a receiver built-in

GPS chips are very very power intensive as the compute power involved to decode a signal out of something that would normally be way below the noise threshold is still very high, despite some two decades worth of optimization. And they're pretty useless outside of direct line of sight towards the sky.

> In fact, I can't imagine many events other than weather (which is usually localized) that warrant such a low-entropy signal on a nationwide basis, and everything I can imagine has very limited actionability. ("Asteroid inbound, prepare to hide in the basement for a few thousand years"?)

It's a trigger signal for a low-power receiver that can then turn on a higher-bandwidth (and thus, higher power) device to detect what is actually going on. Say you're a country at war like Ukraine - have the "emergency bit" on nationwide during Russian air raids so that receivers can listen for area-specific signals and blare horns if affected.

No matter what, we have to prepare for war, and that includes having robust technology that is hard to take out on the sender side (which cellphone stations aren't, they're easy targets in a cyber war!) and, most importantly, can be stored in everyone's garden shed and live on a single battery for years.
I mean, if you weren't smugly comfortable in your biases, you could always just do a search, say for "FBI crime rate by year", or "police clearance rates by year", or "police funding per year", but I guess not.

Way back in the 2000's when I was playing WoW, we had someone in our guild using some Chinese service to level his character and farm gold with it.

Man, it's 2024 and I still gotta hear this stuff?

First, the word "vaccine" has always been used--literally since day one--to include treatments that were less than absolutely perfect defenses. If you thought some old definitions ever meant the opposite, you were wrong, and perhaps they were updated to try to stop you from continuing in a false belief.

Second, claiming mRNA cannot be a reeealll "vaccine" is just like claiming a portable device can't be a phone because reeealll phones must have cords that go into walls. It's getting hung up on a secondary engineering detail while ignoring the important parts.

Third, most of the definition brouhaha relates to the CDC, which is not the same as the WHO.
