Tim Peters, author of Timsort and the Zen of Python. He might be less of a public face of Python than GvR, but he was just as instrumental to its design all the way from the early years to its coming into the mainstream.

However, I don’t think reflexive actions like what you’re suggesting will sway anybody who’s not already convinced, or really help in any other way. Disruptive demonstrations can occasionally work IRL when they can serve to convey a concern to people who wouldn’t otherwise notice it, or to assure like-minded people that they’re not alone. Online forums, by contrast, are both lacking in passersby and plentiful in tools for suppressing disruptions.

Furthermore, I don’t think you can really outpolitick a politician on this low a level. Well-motivated and well-publicized forks could work. General apathy and nonparticipation could work. Other ways of voting with your feet could also work, if you can think of one. But you can’t argue (collaborate on converging to the truth) with an opponent who’s completely convinced of their own rightness and righteousness, only debate them (attempt to expose each other’s faults to an audience). Debating a politician won’t work, because they’ll crush you. It’s a large part of what being a good politician is, after all.
Google is chock full of services with whimsical names. I’m not a fan either but I think in this industry you’re fighting a losing battle.
Defendants Sold Subscriptions for "Screwber" Application in Rideshare Scheme
"Earlier today, in federal court in Brooklyn, an indictment was unsealed charging Eliahou Paldiel and Carlos Arturo Suarez Palacios (Suarez) with wire fraud and money laundering conspiracies relating to a wide-ranging scheme in which the defendants sold hacked smartphones and fraudulent applications to more than 800 rideshare drivers (Driver Co-conspirators). The applications enabled the Driver Co-conspirators to “spoof” GPS locations to fraudulently obtain “surge” fees and to otherwise manipulate legitimate rideshare applications to enrich themselves to the detriment of riders, law-abiding drivers and rideshare companies. If convicted, the defendants face up to 20 years in prison on each of the two counts."
Reproduction. The training claims were always tenuous under the law. If I save a copy of your code, I probably haven’t done anything wrong. If I make a slot machine that sometimes randomly sends someone else your code, I get in trouble when it does send a copy out if I don’t have permission.

> The map is not the territory.

Yes, that's why I spoke of GR + objective collapse. GR + objective collapse is not the territory, most people including Penrose will tell you that. What some of his readers apparently don't get is that he supports GR + objective collapse only to the extent that there's "only one true objective world" (because he likes that for aesthetic reasons), and then immediately turns around and rejects it because there's no space for free will.
I think besides the points made by others about popularity with asian audiences, there's also the point that western gamers have likely at least heard of Wukong as a character, so it doesn't immediately come off as intended only for asian audiences. They also seemed to advertise a lot on X.

This article is hilariously misguided. It was spineless to cave into the Biden administration’s pressure to unconstitutionally censor free speech, and corrupt social and political and scientific discussion. But it was courageous, even if delayed, to speak up now and expose this unacceptable violation of the most basic civil liberty - free speech. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that TechDirt would actually put out something like this, basically justifying authoritarianism.

This sad saga of COVID censorship almost certainly hurt the economy and quality of life, but also took away accountability for the CCP by leading to censorship of very reasonable topics like the possibility of a lab leak. Not to mention the corrupt lies of Fauci and the NIH around funding gain of function research in Wuhan, where they also pressured tech companies into censorship and also straight up obstructed FOIA requests. Unfortunately it is too late now to conduct a trustworthy site visit and determine the truth. Even the prior WHO visit was worthless because it was a year late and literally had the person heading the problematic research at the visit as the only representative for the US.

Free speech is foundational for any free society, and it is sad to see so many people wanting to be told what to believe by their government.

EDIT for context: Fauci’s problematic actions were partially pre COVID and in 2020 (during the Trump administration), but have been defended by him and Biden since then. An example of a 2020 action that ended up causing censorship, consider the infamous Lancet letter pushed by Fauci and Daszak (who received NIH funding for the gain of function research) that falsely cast doubt on the lab leak theory. As an example of a later problematic action during the Biden administration, Fauci and others received training on how to evade FOIA transparency requests from a staff member they hired for this purpose, by doing things like purposely misspelling keywords or using code words to avoid having things show up on FOIA search queries.

I'm working on something and the why now is because the #1 player on the scene is falling apart, and the new players are evolving to become some VC-backed soulless way to exploit mentally ill people. That's because new science and a certain unicorn is making a particular approach trendy with VCs.

So, 3. Market trend as well.

GenAI also opens up a lot of market changes. For one, you have players like Google who are closing down some of their existing products to go all in on GenAI.

Two, you have certain markets like Instagram being flooded with AI content. That opens up new markets like Cara, who vow to be AI-free.

Also 10y ago is fine. Stripe came in after PayPal. Lots of grocery startups after Webvan. Tesla after Better Place. So 4, prices have gone down or infra has gone up (doesn't have to be a whole paradigm)

> Think how much value is locked up behind cryptography.

It's actually "so much value" that it's not possible to take much of it if you reveal that you did. People can "fork (parts of) the financial system" even more easily (per actor) than what happens with cryptocurrencies.

Sure, it's a huge hassle with huge overhead but you cannot reveal the capability and also take more than that hassle is worth. I think this means that anyone capable of doing it would not reveal the ability as as a first priority, as others here have also suggested. Especially for a state actor, the trade-off is very clear.

It's not a "Chinese mythical book", it's one of the classical novels of Chinese civilization. Think of it as a cross between Lord of the Rings and The Iliad, but containing extensive references to ancient Chinese tales, culture, religion (especially Buddhism), and history (the central monk character in the story is based on a real, and revered, historical monk).

It also has beloved and well known characters who have featured in all kinds of Chinese stories and media for centuries: e.g. Erlang (no relation to the programming language), who is prominently in the opening cutscene, and is often found in stories accompanied by Nezha (who is so popular that generations of Chinese kids grew up hearing this[0] song and watching that show).

And this is by no means just a Chinese phenomenon. This story, Journey to the West, is a cultural keystone in all of Asia: Dragonball is very much based on Journey to the West[1], and "Son Goku" is just the Japanese pronunciation of the name "Sun Wukong", who is the monkey protagonist of this game. The two share many of their powers and characteristics, including flying around on a magic cloud and becoming powerful enough to challenge literal gods.

Finally, this is perhaps the first "postmodern" retelling of this extremely popular story. The game is called "black myth" because it is clearly darker and more serious than previous retellings of this story. For someone who knows this story well (i.e. basically anyone who grew up in Asia), it is a fresh version of an old classic. In this sense, this game is the equivalent of what The Witcher was for (mainly Eastern) Europeans; it takes legends, stories, superstitions you grew up hearing about (e.g. vampires, werewolves, etc) and breathes new life into them.

I like the idea. To cooking I would add:

- make a good vinegrette

- make three mother sauces (learn a roux, fond, etc)

- brine, dress, and roast a chicken/poultry

- hunt, field dress, and butcher venison

- catch, filet, and serve fish

- top of the skill heap would be a bouliabaisse, if heap didn't include baking
They already stated they are planning on adding community notes along with further extending their labelling services.

Community Notes doesn't address dog piling though. And unlike twitter, Bluesky & ATProto have no concept of private accounts so when you get dog piled you can't just go priv like you can on twitter until things cool off.

This is specifically addressing that problem. i.e. Addressing toxicity. It's not about trying to correct misinformation.

The post mentions misinformation in this section only in the context that QRTs are a common way of addressing misinformation and that allowing you to detach could reduce QRTs ability to do that.

So while Community Notes should be a preferred method of addressing misinfo, it doesn't do anything to allow users to disengage or avoid toxicity (which is the point of this blog post).

I never liked Window Maker much. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I tried a lot of Window Managers and desktop environments and usually ended up back on either K Desktop Environment or Sawfish. Obviously everyone’s heard of KDE but I don’t see many people talking about Sawfish.

I never really liked GNOME much either; even when everyone was running it in the 2.x days.

Enlightenment was (and still is) cool though and in my opinion never got enough credit.

BeOS aesthetics (and the OS as a whole) will always have a special place in my heart too.

Ultimately this all just boils down to personal preference. I’m definitely not suggesting that you’re wrong nor weird for liking Window Maker (if anything, I’m probably the weird one…)

LLMs have hard time to reason about adjacent topics.

I have a favorite question to a LLM that can be (and is) learned from papers from 2010-2012 (well before advent of LLMs) and I am keeping asking it for two years now.

LLMs are able to cite relevant papers with "word-by-word" accuracy, they remember them quite well. Every paper on the subject has all relevant definitions in them. Yet, LLMs cannot combine adjacent definitions to come up with the ultimate solution to my question.

The question: "implement blocked clause decomposition in Haskell."

Google "blocked clause decomposition" for papers on subject.

Have fun.

Over time, LLM's seem to lose the ability to even approach the solution to this question in a first answer. They need more and more attention and correction nowadays.

I see it as a knowledge collapse mentioned in paper I provided a link to. Instead of an answer I get a gamified pretense of a helping hand and we all do.

"Modern" as in "not repeating old mistakes" is good. It does not guarantee from making new mistakes, of course.

"Wow, modern" as in "very new, shiny, and surrounded by hype" is usually bad, because the emotions overshadow a rational view. This leads to incorrect assumptions, excessive optimism, and often to enthusiastic but incorrect application of the new and somehow worthy thing.

Improvement is good, fashion-driven hype, bad.
I use SQLite all the time, I said in another comment it's my go-to for server-side green field projects. But there's a lot of push to create data solutions that are fully bidirectional between client and server, or to even make them client-driven in an awkward peer-to-peer model, and I'm not sold on either pattern.
Often just sleep it off. Sleep in the office, or car, or if you're at home, a proper bed. A 3 minute nap does wonders. Sometimes more sugar or hydration helps. Sometimes a walk.

It's rarely ever a full off day. It's an off-hour, then you tilt because you're trying to force yourself on no fuel or you procrastinate and feel worse. Then it becomes an off-day.
All of the above. I’m not overly worried. But it’s surprising that they don’t mention it anywhere.
System76 has always work on both software and hardware. The from the beginning have done much work in firmware and drivers, and increasingly up the stack. Creating PopOS as Ubuntu with up to date hardware support. And then increasingly listing to their users on what improvments they can make. This lead to early gnome extension and then the gnome shell.

At the same time they have invested a lot in hardware as well. Their own case, their own mechanical keyboards. They are doing thab because they want to make their own laptop eventually.

They want to be a more open Apple, with a great hardware and software story. It just a much longer path to get there.
No there isn't. There was some discourse around a pretty weirdly worded set of T&Cs sent to early reviewers (they were instructed to not include 'feminist propaganda' in their writing, whatever that means).

Patents sort of work that way, except that even people who didn't look at your work owe you their future profits.

I think I'm hoping for a result that anyone can train any model on any content, regardless of that content's copyright status. Mostly because I want AI assistant tools to be as effective as possible, to be able to access the same information I can access. But however it turns out there will probably be some unintended consequences.
Journey to the West was very popular on Chinese TV in the 80s-90s, and almost everyone watched it more than once. The game was promoted for four years, and in the end it presented much more than what was shown in the PV. The story of the GUAI, the animation between the chapters, this is a love letter to one generation (maybe two).
Beside, at present, China's economic environment is not good, and I would like to call this sales volume China's lipstick effect.(A $500 ps5 then you are good to go).

Depends on your lifestyle. If you let your lifestyle creep and you need to live in the best apartment, eat at the best restaurants, send your kids to private school, maybe a few million won’t last so long. If you’re single and don’t need to live in Manhattan you can easily retire on a million dollars.

Lifestyle creep is what locks people into miserable tech jobs and eliminates risk taking and chasing dreams. Probably part of the reason that big companies lose the ability to innovate.
I prefer the Jimmy Wales version of authority.

> Here in Southeast Asia we have a wealth of myths and histories that barely made it into popular culture.

This is definitely not one of them, though. Journey to the West is the opposite of obscure. Dragon Ball, one of the most popular franchises ever is overtly inspired by it and even freaking lego made a show about it. If you’re going to make an action game about an eastern myth, this is the safest, most obvious choice you can make.

This kind of drama seems to exist very specifically to programming language design and implementation.

Probably has something to do with the codified formal structures necessary for various committees/ decision making groups.

But it's interesting. This kind of stuff happens in ECMA, Rust, Python and a few others. Go seems to have escaped. Maybe because it's a corporate owned Lang? Similarly no drama in the Typescript world.

You can easily find many YouTube videos documenting the corruption of video game reviews (reducing score for this game due to activist pressure), fake reviews on Steam commenting on its lack of inclusivity, and various left leaning journalists going on Twitter tirades about this game due to their DEI expectations.
