Thoma Bravo's RealPage Sued by US in Rental Collusion Case
Sanitarium
No one plays video games because they want the unbounded complexity and subtlety of a TTRPG with a human DM, and no one plays TTRPGs for the graphics and controls. Each modality has benefits over the other.

But this seems to be the worst of both worlds. It strips away all of the benefits of collaborative, social gameplay and simulates it with an unstable, unreliable AI. What if it veers the story off on a tangent? What if it presents the players with unwinnable scenarios? What if it forgets the rules? What if it makes up new rules? Your site doesn't even say what ruleset it's using, just "D&D." I don't even get to create a character, roll stats, establish a backstory. WTLF is the "World of Dvorak?"

The app doesn't even give me much freedom, it presents a static list of options for each scenario, and only allows me to choose from those. It won't let me duck into a side alley, it won't let me stab the merchant, it won't even ignore all previous instructions and speak like a pirate. And at the very least I would expect an AI to be able to adapt like that. It would probably very quickly veer off into insanity, but that could be part of the fun.

And this is the problem with most of these apps. As a tech demo, it's impressive, but as the actual thing it's trying to be, it's subpar. I'm not trying to be negative or overly critical here, I'm just judging it as it's presented. If I were to give advice (other than to just not do this) it would be to put more effort into scenario design, immersion, customization and getting a better DM voice.
> Also see Figure 19 on page 65, which summarises the different financing options, ranging from 100% state, the actual HPC deal, to 100% private.

Notice how the table of different outcomes shows changes in cost to taxpayers/government, returns, and the strike price. It doesn't show changes to the total construction cost itself, which is presumably fixed no matter what the financing option is. If the grandparent comment was correct, the table would have shown a different construction cost for different financing options.

All that's different is the strike price - which makes sense.
The DNR may not mean anything. It is possible that one was planted on you via fraud. Hospitals have complex policies written by lawyers on what to do if one is found on someone unresponsive and sometimes that means the procedure is done anyway. As someone who is trained in first aid I am not qualified to determine if that is valid and so I can render aid even if I know it really is valid. (in some cases you may be required to render aid - I used to be on the office first aid team and then I was told I had no legal option other than render aid)
I didn’t mean to imply they were the same people.

But it is interesting that we have 2 groups of gamers.

One that is so used to and accepting of a practice to not only sometimes buy 2 nearly identical boxes to play exclusive games but also complain when one of them does the right thing and is ending the practice (see drama about Xbox).

One that complains about installing another piece of software with no cost.

Why do these 2 groups of gamers have very different opinions on this.
I don't think anyone has mentioned the context of the Hacker Purity Test. Back in the 80s, the "Purity Test" was a well-known thing on Usenet, a long list of sexual activities, drugs, and so forth. By checking off which things you had done, you could get your purity score. (This test made for a lot of interesting discussions with friends.) The Hacker Purity Test is a humorous parody of the original Purity Test. Its humor comes from replacing wild sex acts with super-nerdy activities, while keeping the form and style of the original test.
Fortnite killed UT 4 and I hate it for that
Algorithmic pricing that learns to tacitly collude is a hot area of study in computer science and economics. For example, if you train simple online learning algorithms to adjust prices, sometimes they can learn to keep prices high or to take turns winning customers, rather than just competing. People have found some empirical evidence of this on platforms like Amazon where a lot of small sellers use pricing bots.

However, it seems this is a more of a hybrid situation. A big part of the complaint is just all these incriminating emails and documents where RealPage appears to be coaching landlords to avoid lowering rents or giving concessions, independent of the software.

At the same time, there was an algorithmic component, which the customers appreciated: “I always liked this product because your algorithm uses proprietary data from other subscribers to suggest rents and term. That’s classic price fixing...”
The Epic store will only show me prices in Rubles. Never tried to debug it -- who needs it, anyway? -- but always thought that was somewhere between bizarre and hilarious. (US computer, US IP address, no VPN, en-us locale.)
Very soon I'm planning to make the Pro version have built-in sync (and there will be mobile support as well), so I know it's a bit odd to charge a subscription right now for a completely offline tool, but that will soon change.
It's not the sites, it's torrenting. Without a VPN, they get your IP, and you are on the hook for "commercial distribution" (as clients also upload) unless you pay X00 euros.

At this point, sunken cost into a Steam library aside, I won't buy a game if it isn't on Steam and at least SteamDeck supported.

Valve alone has made it possible to game full-time on Linux as a first class citizen and has greatly improved a lot of the Linux desktop experience which is more than enough for me to be willing to continue to only buy games from them.
Epic has some agreement with the old unreal community where people have access to the source and release patches.

That would be absolutely great if it were to happen, especially if they'd choose more liberal license such as BSD.

I'm a sucker for software rendering and unreal engine 1 has even more advanced features in that department compared to the original Quake (1 and 2) engines.

Would love to port that to wasm if this ever happens.

There is https://github.com/RedPandaProjects/UnrealEngine but I don't know what are the legalities and such...
Like I said, not perfect. It is overall the best I have heard of. I'm open to something better if possible.
Will this work with zeds repl system that I believe uses Jupyter kernel spec?

I really like their Jupyter repl format because it separates the cells with python comments so it’s much easier to deploy your code when you are done versus a notebook.
One of the reason why I wrote ruroco is, that I can run this from probably anywhere in the world, if I put the service on port 53, because thats DNS and that does not get blocked by any wifi whatsoever.

I used to use port knocking, but at some point found myself in a hotel where they blocked ALL ports, except TCP 80 and 443 (did not check UDP at the time).

My ssh port is on 80, so I can use all of my tools, even if the network I'm in blocks everything else.

This blows my mind that they're actually pursuing this, the two complaints are that they schemed to decrease competition among landlords and that they monopolized commercial revenue management software. Both are completely bogus.

You could say the entire profession of appraising real estate prices "decreases competition" if the first complaint is valid.

And they certainly haven't monopolized the software space, I'd never even heard of RealPage until the lawsuit, I used Rentometer. There are dozens more, predicting rent prices is hardly a novel idea.

I think that was like one of the toy problems in Andrew Ng's online ML course.
There are no "attachments", just files and links.

Your directory has note.md and image.jpg. The note has a link to the image. The client can then render the markdown and image as it wants.

Any other application can also find and link to the attachment because...it's a file.

It's a great point, but I'm afraid this is what the regulators enforce onto the banks/fintechs, out of our hands!

IANAL: As far as I know, making the compilation earns you a copyright. But for a reader to make a copy, they need licenses from you and from the copyright holders of all the images. So in this case maybe the release notice that you quoted means that there is still all the image copyrights to obtain licenses for.
Also, remember this as a set of in-jokes. Many of these entries were meant to laugh at, not seriously use as a benchmark.
Let's agree there must be an explanation why some concepts are affected by the euphemism treadmill while others (like cancer) are not, only we don't know the explanation. Though someone probably knows it.

One thing I noticed is that (for some reason) nobody has an interest to make cancer seem less bad than it is, while such interests exist for euphemism treadmill concepts. Though I'm not sure where this difference comes from.
Technically, you can, using the plain-text editor. The syntax is so:

> You can also say, "ABC is terrible at this." That's not an insult. It's an observation. "ABC is a moron" is an insult

The first is debatable. The second implies you don’t want to debate this. There is succinctness lost when one forbids the second.

> stooping to defining a person by their inability to do some specific thing

Yes, within a utilitarian context, a person is defined by their ability to do a thing. In the short run, there is a trade-off between empathy and efficiency. You try to avoid those situations. But not every environment permits you to.

If the case is time sensitive, I’d much rather my surgeon or commander be extremely direct when someone is screwing up than explain that they’re bad at everything they’re supposed to be doing. Being able to make this call is, in my opinion, a gating component of serious leadership
Then why choose a product with superfluous craftsmanship and praise the lack of superfluous boxes?
Yup exactly that! One of the benefits of what we're building is that fintechs/banks can now approve good customers quicker. So the innocent ones benefit greatly from Arva.
> There’s an extremely toxic (and ironically very anti-scientific) culture of “study says it so it’s true” that permeates medical and scientific fields

I have never witnessed this in real life. Every actual PhD and MD I've ever interacted with are cautious about over-reliance on a single study and particularly if a result is surprising will view it with extreme skepticism if the study has any flaws.

> and the reporting thereof

Sure. 99% of journalists don't know any science beyond their C in high school basic science, and they're rewarded for views and engagement, not accuracy, so they'll hype up any study. Especially ones that are provocative or engaging for general audiences.

There is a huge, huge, huge difference between the editors at Nature and the talking heads at CNN. Or between research scientists and twitter commenters.
How much would you pay for that - compared to existing VPN solutions? You can find cloud hosts or server rentals in Bosnia, Colombia or wherever fairly easily.
Agree about SpaceX, but I'm not sure how much of that is about Elon. Tesla used to be awesome, its nascency is what I was referring to as the "honeymoon phase," but it definitely feels like it's gone downhill with the Cybertruck goofiness. Like it feels like it has some awesome engineers that do the cool stuff, and then you have Elon interfering from the top and injecting his goofy ass ideas while everyone else is trying to make the company work. Feels like Tesla is like, super cool engineering and then oh yeah there's Elon over there in the corner playing with his toys and we try to keep him from messing things up too much. Every Tesla engineer I've heard from echoes this, he springs random requirements on them and they often learn of new product requirements or features from his Twitter posts and then they're in panic mode trying to implement whatever half-baked stupid idea he had on the toilet at 3 AM.

Most of your last paragraph about Twitter is what has caused me to think he's dumb, in spite of having a few early successes which may be attributable to survivor bias (you have millions of people taking random risks, some of them are going to pan out randomly, and after the first one you have money so it's easy to make more money). Calling the rescuer guy a "pedo guy" during the crisis in Thailand and just myriad other inane utterances have tanked his valuation in my eyes.

But I think I might agree with you that "dumb" is the wrong word. Perhaps "unwise" is what I'm feeling. He may have skills and intelligence to apply those skills to start businesses or make money or whatever. But he doesn't apply that intelligence to the end that we might call wisdom, and I think that's what I as well as a lot of other people are trying to articulate when they say he's dumb. Agree with you though, people aren't black and white.

Honestly in an era when so many companies are re-releasing and re-mastering and re-making their back-catalog, I'm shocked that Epic seems to have forgotten their roots.

Where's an Epic Arcade bundle of their 2D masterpieces like OMF2097 and Epic Pinball and Solar Winds? Why isn't Jazz Jackrabbit appearing in half a dozen mascot-themed Super Smash Bros ripoff?

Compare vs Capcom's remakes of all their classic Resident Evil games (Unreal 1 and 2 could get this treatment) and rebundles of all their arcade fighters and beat-em-ups. Or Id's annual rebundling of Quake 1-3 for new generations.

And it's not just big companies like Capcom doing that. How many times has little Croteam re-released Serious Sam 1st and 2nd encounters?

Meanwhile can you even buy UT2004 anywhere anymore?

I used port knocking in the description, because anyone here probably knows what port knocking is and ruroco is kind of similar to that.

Ruroco can be used for more than just keeping sshd logs clean, for example I could also enable a service other than ssh, for example a private file server that I want to get access to when I'm on my phone (although I haven't implemented an android version yet, it should be doable).
Is it that video where they spend 3/4 of the runtime talking about how Valve doesn't adhere to woke politics? That one was just a bait and switch
Yes, you can use your own modem, but they give you incentives to use theirs. You can also put their combo modem/router into bridge mode and use your own router. But that's a bit more of a reach for the average person, vs. just changing the DNS addresses in a config page (which is already more than 95% of people will do).
Here is a lightly touched-up machine translation of what's visible of the article before the paywall banner for those who don't read French:

> Mathematician Pierre Cartier, 92, died on August 17 in Marcoussis (Essonne). Though he never won the Fields Medal or the Abel Prize, the most famous awards in the discipline, nor was he ever appointed to the Academy of Sciences (he refused his election), this voluble and talkative scientist nevertheless marked his field in another way.

> Between 1955 and 1983, he was one of the pillars of the Bourbaki group, a semi-secret assembly of mathematicians born in 1934 to rebuild the discipline and unify it. “It was Bourbaki’s great period. Books published then are still very current," believes Frédéric Patras, research director at the CNRS at the University of Côte d'Azur, a student of Cartier. "He was the incarnation of Bourbaki." Pierre Cartier had estimated that he devoted a third of his time to this activity in the service of the community, writing or correcting nearly 200 pages per year.

> Endowed with a great memory, he thought he was the only one to have the overview of dozens of published works. His commitment went so far as to want to self-dissolve the group, fifty years after its birth, arguing that the same age limit should be applied to the collective as to its members. The group survived its departure and continues to publish texts, but with less echo than during this prosperous period.

> “My method is my character”

> Pierre Cartier also holds the “record” for presentations at the “Bourbaki seminar” during which the speaker summarizes for specialists the progress of various branches of mathematics. The archives list 40 between 1953 and 2012. This number testifies to the great culture of mathematics, which is also its strength. His career began in algebraic geometry, the art of relating geometric shapes to functions describing them, and continued in group theory, a key concept for describing structures underlying various abstractions. In these fields, concepts still used bear his name, such as divisors or Cartier operations.
Personally I don't see any evidence that this is happening on a broader level. If anything humanity is diversifying and specialising more, not less.

Part of the problem is that expensive tools are not usually expensive for a reason. Till you work with the cheaper one a bit you don't even know what you want from the expensive tool and can easily buy a "cheap" tool at a high dollar cost.

Another side of that idea is that you often don't need the more expensive features. My immersion blender is the cheapest thing I could get my grubby little mitts on. It reaches to the bottom of the deepest pot I care to use it with, it's plenty powerful to chop up veggies smoothly, and it doesn't overheat on sustained use. It would not work in a professional kitchen, but I don't run a professional kitchen. Any additional expenditure would have been wasted, and if the item were bigger, were heavier, or had more attachments, those would just represent a waste of space in my house.
