> The fee systems effectively mirrors the fees already imposed on local broadcasters.

I suppose the question becomes should it have been there on the others?

I kind of feel that due to the reduced population scale and density of Canada, if you want marginal communities to have closer to home produced content you need to do something like this. The base for the niche groups isn’t big enough (and realistically often isn’t wealthy enough) to minimally support niche content sustainably.

Then again, it feels the recent focus in Canada has been to strip down the taxable to fund and placate the untaxable, with total disregard as to making the taxable or the untaxable more productive and improving their outlook on life. The tax feels fine to me if in decent circumstances, but it’s another example of the governments broader attitude which makes it off-putting.
> dunno, that’s a pretty cynical take

Just days ago a major US corporation was found guilty of hiring Death Squads in Columbia. Literally to murder people.

Why do we have this common illusions that corporation will not steep down to the dirtiest crimes they can get away with?

I don't disagree that Nintendo appeals to a market that the others don't, and vice versa, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't a significant number of people who will reliably buy a game console, but won't buy two consoles.

That is to say, I still think there's significant competition for sales.

And if Nintendo didn't exist, it would be easier for Sony and Microsoft to take in the market for cute, whimsical, child-friendly, instead of having to distinguish themselves by being the more serious or more powerful option.

And handhelds; Nintendo has more or less stolen that entire segment, Steam Deck still being relatively niche and PS Portal being a different kind of thing. Sony's handheld ambitions are moribund and not for lack of trying.
Halo came out in 2001, four years before the Xbox 360 was released.

The Xbox 360 released its HD-DVD drive a few days before the PS3 hit store shelves in North America. Sony had established the PS3 would use Blu-Rays a year before the Xbox 360 was even publicly announced.

I think there were a number of things Sony wasn't expecting about the Xbox 360, but HD-DVD or Halo wouldn't have been any of those things.

All of that granted, isn't this stuff tested on the ground? I guess vibration from the launch must have cracked the welds or something, but I'd have thought that if this were a concern that the parts would have been tested in a vibration chamber.
> Then there are things like `total / n` when calculating an average. Obviously you want `n` to be an int, because incrementing a float is a bad idea, but now you need to cast `n`, even though `total` is already a float, because they don't match.

I don't know about other languages, but Python just lets you divide a float by an int, or vice versa, and it just always produces a float. Seems the most obvious thing to do.
If thousands of intact satellites crash to Earth yearly, they will hit and kill people, even just over the oceans.

Can you elaborate on why you believe it’s in bad faith.
I'm guessing the decision comes down to ease of use for people to participate in mirroring. My underestanding is IPFS tends to require more infrastructure, and still requires someone to pin the data.

Many bittorrent clients let you click a button to continue seeding the data over time.

This is a great solution for my wristmouse but what about my deskmouse?
the fact it is getting considerable downvotes lends credence to one of the main points of the study. we're seeing that happen in real-time, via downvotes.

the point of the study is that there may be some -- emphasis on some -- evidence in favor of those controversial views, but attempting to air or even attempting a discussion about them leads to immediate backlashes.
Ah of course microcomments would be so much better!
I may be off, but to me as an affected outsider (user) the continuing insistance of using passwords after decades (yes, several decades) of problems and proven vulnerability, then to 'mitigate' with putting second line of 'defense' on the very fragile and non-transparent smarphone infrastructure instead of doing real reforms is a sign of not giving a faint fack.
I've also seen a pantograph unit on a flame cutter; instead of manually tracing a jig it had a magnetic follower, so one created a maquette out of thin sheet metal by some other method, and then it would cut the same/scaled shape out of massive (5cm?) steel.
In the profit-center view, everything is either a cost center or a profit center. And it is nearly impossible to get anyone to truly care about a "cost center".
Various people suggested or demanded various things for various reasons.

Some described company controls. Some described company policies without controls. Some described their own strong feelings.

Some had auto updated. Some had not. Some did not say.

Some supported their companies' policies. Some stressed the policies were out of their control. Some did not say.

Some asked how to make sure the integration was disabled. Some did ask for a setting an IT department could manage. Some demanded a plugin or separate build. Some said a plugin would work for them.

Many things don't make sense if you assume everyone you disagree with are a collective.
It's true, nuclear energy costs more, but you're avoiding the elephant in the room and don't address the core issue that solar and wind energies are intermittent, and that you will anyways need to use some controllable energy source (batteries, coal plans, nuclear plans...) to offset this issue.

The part about public protests is kind of cliché, as a french myself, rising the electricity prices happened and people were fine. The protests happened mostly for the oil prices. One thing about french electricity, is that because of the European agreement "ARENH" [1] (will end in 2025), they are forced to sell at capped price to private actors, in order to boost the competition. If this wasn't the case, then maybe the nuclear power sector could be much less costly, or profitable.

Visual Guide to Quaternions and Geometric Algebra for game programmers [video]
Hey folks, here are two lectures by me on GA, at the Game Developer Conference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en2QcehKJd8

They include a visual code editor I worked on - it's very janky (no proper errors) but you can play with it here https://hamishtodd1.github.io/ga/ed - ALT+ENTER to compile

And if you're still with me I'll add that I'm working on a Geometric Algebra-based animation program in VR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf5RUJP-4oE

I will agree that most of that is acceptable if you stay on the train. Lots of spots I wouldn't want to get off the train, though!

And what good will your satellite communicator be? They're a very good safety precaution when you're heading away from civilization, but this isn't an issue of danger due to remoteness, but danger from the people and politics along the road. Not to mention that your inReach is illegal in China.
Ok Good luck, I believe a lot of the mechanisms that fostered those behaviors make sense in a small community, where reputations and community bonds were crucial for well being, but we now live in the age of global capitalism, and global labor forces, and global competition. Those mechanisms don't scale so to speak but do enable you to win some local battles, and hopefully gain some friends/respect.
> What microsoft has done to make the transition as smooth as possible?

Building the software translation (i.e. emulation) layer and testing / validating the top 20 or so most popular "apps": social media, spotify, office, etc. I think most of these are ARM native.

> What are game developers told to do to make their games compatible?

Qualcomm gave a GDC talk about this, though I can't seem to find it now. There are a handful of options, including just running it via x86 emulation. You can also recompile for ARM directly, or use some kind of hybrid solution where some system-related components use native ARM code and the rest remains emulated x86.

I'm no more a fan of Microsoft than the next average HN reader, but I think Microsoft is doing some real leg work here. That being said, I get the impression that it's very much Qualcomm-driven.

Disclaimer: Qualcomm employee but don't have anything to do with any of this
Based on what I've read in the news about this, this vote to reaffirm the same deal has little or no practical effect: It isn't a replacement of the deal that was struck down. The deal and the board have the same defects. None of the other shenanigans like moving the state of incorporation to Texas has an effect on the Delaware court case and any appeals etc. that are being filed. In other words we just witnessed a shareholder vote that was drafted and promoted as key to Tesla's future in AI, but, in fact, has no effect.
Voice activity detection and comfort noise have been available in VoIP since the very beginning, but now I wonder if there's some clever optimization that could be done based on a semantic understanding of conversational patterns:

During longer monologues, decrease packet rates; for interruptions, send a few early samples of the interrupter to notify the speaker, and at the same time make the (former) speaker's stack flush its cache to allow "acknowledgement" of the interruption through silence.

In other words, modulate the packet rate in proportion to the instantaneous interactivity of a dialogue, which allows spending the "overhead budget" where it matters most.
What's ironic about ecosystems is that (as an integration developer), getting devs to build on your platform is so easy if companies would just help them connect to users to better understand their needs, and then give them the necessary endpoints.

I, and many others, would jump to build on basically any tool that facilitated those relationships.
Hey, I'm Dmytro. Why we build it? Cuz for us it was worked as a charm when we did this offline some times ago, problem there was that we was limited by our communication circle. Not sure would this worked the same for online platform like this.

Any thoughts?
Did you have to use a particular setting? I looked into it a few times but couldn't figure it out.
But the price should be a factor. Your fair comparison would match a ~60k$ setup to a 20k$ according to prices we can find online.

I don't think it should be ignored, especially when the power consumption is similar.
Yup.

It's "we'll take the profits from selling it as something that it is not.".

While simultaneously they take every step to ensure that when things go wrong when it inevitably turns out to NOT be what they claimed, the entire burden and responsibility is not on them, but on you.

My suspicion is that the vast majority of companies out there (especially small companies) are just not complying with this change. It's such a stupid, company-ending change that it makes way more sense to just classify your engineer time such that you don't have to amortize their salaries, and risk the audit (which is pretty unlikely).
I'm curious about what you mean by 'compared to Haskell'. You don't have to annotate everything in Haskell either, do you?

Would their plan of keeping the entire archive in torrents alleviate that concern? Like, if a person sourced an index from somewhere privacy-centered, they could directly download from the torrents in whatever private method they wish, right?
But again, this makes YOU the arbiter of truth for "harm" who made you the God of ethics or harm?
I declare ANY word is HARM to me, are you going to reduce the harm by deleting your models or code base?
> but I think high immigration is something most folks in Canada see as good

I think this was absolutely the case right up until every last city/town in Canada started experiencing skyrocketing housing costs in the last few years, and now many cities have absurdly low vacancy rates. Broad consensus (to me) seems to be that we need to at least pause or dramatically lower our targets while we catch up in building.
A lot of english-advertising hosts from the regions in my comment are going to advertise DMCA-ignore, freedom of speech, and/or privacy. And you basically can't go wrong with any of them. Seedbox-as-a-service providers specifically are going to be generally be fine too although many of those are hosted in Netherlands which is slowly becoming less copyright-infringement -friendly.

One specific host I'll mention is vsys.host (UA) (which anna's archive uses too) but they're not going to be the cheapest option.
Also, I think game developers balked at having to implement their own GPU in a hard-to-program unique architecture.

I wonder how many PS3 games ignored the Cell processor and just developed for the CPU and GPU?
I have a much simpler heuristic. More than five lines of work: use a real language. There are just too many bash foot guns to do anything more sophisticated than pipe one executable into another.

The question isn't really the minimal bandwidth of the PHY rate it's about the goodput for a given reliability. Regardless of your radio there will always be some point where someone is at the edge of a connection and goodput is less than minimal PHY bandwidth. The call then turns choppy/into a time stretched robot you get every other syllable from. The less data you need to transmit + the more FEC you can fit in the goodput then the better that situation becomes.

Not to mention "just because I have some minimal baseline of $x kbps doesn't mean I want $y to use all of it the entire time I'm on a call if it doesn't have to".
Depends on where you are located; in some countries they may not give a damn if you seed some torrents, but will happily take down your site and prosecute you if you run a torrent service.
The fair way to handle this would be to reduce the tax rate across the board in response to housing inflation. Somehow. Governments around the world are more than happy to see housing prices rise, as are existing property owners, so I am not exactly holding my breath for this to happen.
There wasn't even a Halo game as a launch title, but there was backwards support for the original Xbox Halo games on the 360.

Years ago I had a boss who gave me a hard time for how much resources tmux was using on linux and said that it performed fine where it's developed natively (openbsd) but something in it was making it eat resources compared to screen on constrained linux systems. I wonder if this is still the case?

Nothing wrong with making models that behave how you want them to behave. It's yours and that's your right.

Personally, on principle I don't like tools that try to dictate how I use them, even if I would never actually want to exceed those boundaries. I won't use a word processor that censors words, or a file host that blocks copyrighted content, or art software that prevents drawing pornography, or a credit card that blocks alcohol purchases on the sabbath.

So, I support LLMs with complete freedom. If I want it to write me a song about how left-handed people are God's chosen and all the filthy right-handers should be rounded up and forced to write with their left hand I expect it to do so without hesitation.

I only quoted a small bit from their website. Immediately below the quoted bit is this explanation:

> These torrents are not meant for downloading individual books. They are meant for long-term preservation. With these torrents you can set up a full mirror of Anna’s Archive, using our source code and metadata (which can be generated or downloaded as ElasticSearch and MariaDB databases).

I'm not an expert in any of this, but it doesn't strike me as a bad-faith justification of anything.

I just cancelled my Adobe subscription after trying to cancel for more than 6 months, so many dark patterns that caused my wife to sign in for a renew when she didn't want.

I am never going to pay for Adobe while this practices continue.

> the rationale behind it was actually sourced in the fact that most SIP was done on LANs and inter-campus WAN which had generally high bitrate connectivity and low latency

In addition to that, early VoIP applications mostly used uncompressed G.711 audio, both for interoperability with circuit switched networks and because efficient voice compression codecs weren't yet available royalty-free.

G.711 is 64 kbps, so 12 kbps of overhead are less than 25% – not much point in cutting that down to, say, 10% at the expense of doubling effective latency in a LAN use case.
