This has not matched my experience in seeing children being raised in other countries in Asia, though I have not spent significant time in China itself, particularly around parents and their children, so I can't comment there. I will say that does not match the behavior I have seen of first generation or even second generation Chinese immigrants in America, however.

My anecdotal experience, primarily driven by my time in Japan as well as living in a place that has a very large Asian immigrant population is that they are as strict when it becomes to the behavior of their children as any Westerner, and often moreso. When I go to the local H-mart, I am far more likely to see a parent corralling their child and getting them to behave than when I see similar behavior out of kids from western parents at the Safeway

Perhaps this holds true in China itself, but I don't believe the distinction is purely East vs. West.
Is that actually common? I assumed most shopping malls would just charge rent.
not condoning, just noticing that desire is interesting. getting a lot of a thing spoils us and makes us need more in terms of quantity, intensity, etc.
Partly extortion/blackmail. Popular all over but doubly so in hyper-conservative SK.
It's hard to believe they're offering a lower cut for any reason other than to attract more offerings. It has to be the main reason at least.
Why cut a kiwi? I just eat it whole.
Would love to see a data visualization of the voice's predictions and their results. Every day, you could keep track of each prediction made, and also go back to old predicitons and write down whether they came true or not. Over a six month span I think you could make a cool chart and those results would be very interesting.

For fun you could also keep track of other related data. How far fetched the prediction is. How confident the voice is. The time frame of the prediction. Just an idea...
> Because of the market share of that marketplace on B2C, developers don’t have other choice but to buy from Apple (i.e. pay the cut)

I've been making mobile apps and games for a long time, and this is completely untrue. Developers choose a platform, Google play, iOS or both, very consciously. Other, smaller app stores (based on Android, mostly) also exist. If Google Play radically decreased it's fees, it would actually make a lot of developers to choose Android first.

The fact that it's rational for developers to release their apps on iOS doesn't mean they have no alternative or Apple has a monopoly. It just means it's still better for them to release on iOS than not, even with these fees. Microsoft it's not worth it for them is exactly how free market works. If some users want this cloud gaming enough, it will influence their Android/iOS buy decisions.
If I call “blue” the same wavelength you call “blue”, it does not mean your blue is the same as my blue.
The problem is that burning trash produces CO2 from stuff, like plastic, that doesn't degrade in landfill. It is net positive CO2. The ideal is to sequester the carbon in landfill.

This assumes that landfill is capturing and burning methane, because methane is worse than CO2.
Aircrews painted nude pin up models on aircraft in the 40s.
QFT doesn't have a duality of particles and waves, it explains both as excitations in underlying fields. So even the particle in a double slit experiment is just the collapsed wave function, but we experience it as a particle. So precedence in this case is that QFT is the underlying explanation.
I've had 40%+ (8 out of 20) RMA rate with ASrock boards (from pcie drives dropping to weird gremlins), while I have replaced two out of over 300 super micro boards, all of them running 10y+

The IPMI interface sure is nicer though
> By suggesting that the Higgs field creates mass by exerting drag, they violate both Newton’s first and second laws of motion.

Personally, I've wondered why theoretical physicists don't dive into Newton's laws more. Ever since I was a kid and first learned about the Voyager probes continuing to move through space forever, my question was why??

All matter is energy, and energy is vibrations in quantum fields, and that vibration never stops (you can never reach absolute zero). From the smallest gluon bouncing between quarks to galaxies to the expansion of the universe itself, matter never stops moving. Where does this infinite source of energy come from?

I understand that physics simply describes how reality works, not why, but I think it'd be valuable to know the reason fields continue to vibrate forever.
Heads must roll has two meanings to me

1. The original meaning is that people must be killed.

2. The more common meaning these days is that people must be punished in some less dramatic way (usually fired).

It is typical of racists to use phrases with double meanings like this. The idea ia that when their words are quoted back at them they can attempt to avoid consequences by claiming they intended the other meaning.

Apple holds the exclusive rights to sell applications and microtransactions to you via their app store.

Frankly, they own a bunch of other rights over your use of "your" iPhone when you gave them up when clicking through their user agreements.
Well, there's a lot less OpenSCAD on GitHub than Python. At first glance maybe a few orders of magnitude less.

But the bigger problem is (probably) not the lack of code, but the lack of good tutorials and well-documented libraries. And since there's no package manager (https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/3479) there's still no agreed-upon way to reuse code between projects.

All this is conjecture, of course. LLMs are mysterious beasts.
It's more like, particles are how we experience collapsed wave functions, and both are manifestations of excitations in the underlying quantum field.
Microsoft Rolled Out AI PCs That Can't Play Top Games–and There's No Quick Fix
For me they can be very real. They can say things only I know and they respond to that. In addition, they know every feeling of uncertainty and doubt that I have, and they respond in cruel ways to that and get "in". It's like telling someone your dearest secrets, and then they go and be mean about that. And that, again and again, every morning again when waking up, with no end in sight.

Then there is the thing that they can become so strong and draw so much attention to them, that normal life gets to second place. The surreal world with voices is becoming the reality and is taking over. At that point, it can get dangerous, for yourself, and in some cases, others.

Taking your frickin car is new.

A judge made a decision that past jurisprudence applies to towing cars that happen to have cameras nearby, nobody was doing it until that first warrant got signed.
You realize that Microsoft does the same thing?

Even with physical media sold for XBox, you still have to pay a per unit fee.
Presumably you work in the field in North America, and not South India or Africa.
Very neat, playground was much more put together than I expected. A bit of aliasing but otherwise very clean (for some simple twiddling at least).

The default layout seems to have the classic "horizontal scrollbar because it doesn't account for a vertical scrollbar when setting the width" design flaw. Not sure if that's specific to the example or a "just how the sizing system works" thing.
Valve has had a tiered system for a while now, it does still start at 30%, but then it drops to 25% for titles with >$10M in revenue, and again to 20% for titles with >$50M in revenue. They switched to that model after the major publishers started leaving Steam and releasing on their own launchers instead, so Valve structured it to give those AAA juggernauts a discount while still taking 30% from the small fry who basically have no choice but to release on Steam.
Has the Spread of Tipping Reached Its Limit? Don't Count on It
Something I’ve noted about working from home is that I can simply turn up the air conditioning if needed to keep myself at what feels like an optimum temperature. I’ve heard of this effect of heat on decreased performance and thought it a sign of bad management leadership when I work at a customer site and it feels like a sauna. Especially in the IT field, they might be throwing away millions of dollars worth of lost productivity annually because they can’t be bothered adjusting a thermostat.
Xbox though is not voluntary
However if we look only at border checkpoints (including airports) in first world nations the number is probably a lot higher.

Not only are agents likely to be using the chip, self-service immigration gates have become really popular at airports around the world and mostly use the RFID chip together with a face scan
From a consumer perspective, Valve is the only one that comes close to deserving that cut. Between Proton, Steam Input mapping, Remote play, Family Sharing, etc... they are by far the most feature rich platform
The U.S. is the most powerful nation in the world. We have an unprecedented capacity to destroy organized state power. It is naive to think that the first steps toward international accountability for world leaders would feasibly start with or initially include the U.S.
Recurrence Relations and Linear Algebra
With gaming:

- You're not producing a good that people need. Gaming entertainment is actually a pretty thin segment of goods.

- You can get free distribution easily (desktop, web, etc.). Other platforms are just increasing your market opportunity and you can charge a thicker margin to get onto them if you want to.

- Physical distribution has costs

- Servers and multiplayer have costs

With mobile:

- Applications do everything from dating, jobs, food, payments, etc. It's anything and everything, and a lot of them are absolutely essential for modern life.

- Apple and Google are the market. There is no alternative. They're a duopoly and embed their talons into everything.

- The app store is artificial. There's nothing stopping web downloads of applications, and any security concerns could be met with signing, risk signal heuristics and reporting, and application sandboxing.

There should be no "App Store Requirement" to deploy a native app. Period.

Furthermore, there should be no requirement to integrate with the duopoly's payment stack, messaging stack, or any other platform choice enforced upon you.

Logically, a color, green etc., is a 'simple' notion and cannot be explained terms of anything simpler. With color we have to revert to a different description, here wavelength. But wavelength is not human perception (and we can't explain such perception in simpler terms).
That’s cool to hear.
Cooperatives guarantee that only people working in the company benefit from the profit of their own work. If one can stop working and still take a share from the profits, everyone else would have to not just work for themselves and lose part of their profit to an increasing amount of people, who are not taking part in creating that profit. Cooperative guarantee that profit is owned by the people who create it.
We've gotten a lot of respect for Figma while making Repaint. Building a performant rendering engine is complicated, and that's only one part of it. You have to handle large documents, multiplayer, layouts, the list goes on. The technical weight of Figma is huge.
Fascinating story, thank you for sharing. I can’t imagine any “mechanistic” explanation for such an experience that wouldn’t be shocking, and tell us something important about how our minds and/or our reality work.
Search engines drive traffic to websites. ChatGPT takes their content and sells it to people without paying the original creator
> Requests for public arrest records linked to the APEC summit were repeatedly deferred by the San Francisco Police Department, which cited a backlog. In response to questions from The Post, Evan Sernoffsky, a spokesman for the SFPD, added that the department was “fully deployed,” did an “excellent job” balancing public safety and the protesters’ constitutional rights, and coordinated with local, state and federal partners.
Activists who protested Xi said in interviews that they feel disappointed by the lack of repercussions for the aggressors.

SFPD as always doing nothing against criminals but patting their own back.
Real-life distributors ship your product ONE time. Imagine if they had to ship another every time they were asked forever. Those real-life distributors also don't advertise and sell your product for you either while providing an entire platform for you and your users to interact.

I'm not saying that 30% is where it should be, but expecting higher costs for all the extra services provided isn't unexpected either.
He's a Marxist and believes in Marx's labor theory of value.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value

As wikipedia says, "modern mainstream economics rejects the LTV" (for very good reasons). It leads to some pretty obvious absurdities if you take it seriously. For example, 10,000 people digging holes should be more "valuable" than one guy designing a microchip, because hey! The holes take more labor.
I don't think that's really terrible. The worse problem is that above distribution apple wants 30% on all transactions for an app on their platform, which is insanity. It's a major problem that just hit Patreon, all the creators are taking a 30% hit for anyone that signed up using apple for the payments.

I get it, they are trying to circumvent a "the app is free, but you activate it by paying us $5" sorts of things... but like it's just pure greed that any and all payments are subject to that sort of fee.

You can call a low entropy point in the past whatever you want. If it’s talking to you or cares about you personally somehow then yeah, I would consider it equally delusional to reptile people.
But spare parts and maintenance is something that many regulators pressure suppliers about, and for good reason. I feel like a lot of people (especially on HN) don't understand the role of regulation and how it can help the end user.
While even if I agree, is Microsoft the right company to complain as far as XBox?

And making hardware “software agnostic” you end up with the crap like Android and Windows.

There is a reason that consoles exists - where the hardware and software are integrated
Usually that only makes sense if other people's use of it makes it harder for you not to. For example, you can want a 4-day working week but still work 5 days because you'll lose your job to a 5-dayer if you don't. But if it was forced on everyone, you'd be happy.

Violating other people's copyrights while still exploiting your own probably means you just want to pirate stuff for your own selfish reasons. If you were against copyright protections in general, you wouldn't be choosing MIT or GPL for your open source code.
You can actually rename an executable that is running, on Windows. That's a way to handle self updates: rename the executable, create its replacement, execute the new one to make it remove the old executable.

> Your boundary is at hue 168, greener than 85% of the population. For you, turquoise is blue.

I mean turquoise isn't blue and isn't green, what difference it makes if some say it's closer to green and some other say it's closer to blue. It's just turquoise.
> If it's used in a reference/"inspiration" capacity (as opposed to verbatim copying), I doubt the rightsholder have anything to stand on here. Sure, their works might have been used to make other competing works, but all art is derivative, and I don't see why it would be legal for a human artist to "train" on past works of art but not AI.

The "all art is derivative" line is essentially something people try to convince others of to justify breaking copyright law. It's not grounded in reality or law. It devalues creative work by implying the machine, with no lived experiences, is doing the same thing. And it's also completely wrong about what the specific term derivative work actually means in the context of copyright.

Derivative works deal in specific. If your LLM reproduces a substantial portion of the story beats from Jurassic Park, you can bet it'd wind up in court. If it reuses identifiable characters, that is usually gonna be derivative unless it can otherwise qualify under an exemption.

"But fanfic, fanart, etc." Is a common counterpoint but misses the commerce aspect of it. Here Open AI and similar are offering paid services based upon harvesting all of this information. When they produce for you the response to the prompt, they are, effectively, distributing that to you for money. That's the point at which it becomes a problem.

As an aside, it's an act of drinking the LLM Kool-Aid to believe it can be "inspired".

> Alleging that AI models can reproduce some works verbatim is probably the stronger argument, but AFAIK you have to coax them pretty hard to do so, and therefore AI companies might be able to argue they're tools like photocopiers or such.

They can try that argument but it'll fall flat when you consider that a photocopier is reproduction agnostic, while LLMs generally have a ton of work going into them to prevent them from outputting damaging things (and they still fail). That fact makes them not at all comparable to a photocopier, setting aside the more obvious "subscription software service" different.

Also, you "know" pretty wrong about the effort required.
For a recent example, see: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/20...

Here a number of people noticed getting specific producer tags basically unaltered in the output when just asking for songs of a certain genre, which then also often sound similar to existing songs.
> But this does highlight one weakness of these FIDO tokens - you have to manually maintain a list of where you've registered them.

FWIW, I use KeePassXC as my password manager and tag each account that uses my hardware keys, so if lost, stollen or broken, I can quickly get a list of sites from which to remove that key. I always register two keys and keep them physically separate, so I can still login in the event I lose one key.
That sounds like it would just slow the process of returning the vehicle.
That's not the launch rail exploding, it's a styrofoam box that is built around a portion of the rocket as insulation. The payload was under a warm dry nitrogen purge before launch to keep certain components in good shape. The styrofoam is colored black so that the chunks can be easily collected from the snow.
There is a key difference: if I went for a walk in the Marrakesh medina, there is no magical headset I could wear which would silence all the hawkers and make them invisible. In the electronic world, by contrast, I can easily ignore all broadcast media, use the web instead, and let robots filter out all the ads, leaving me free to browse in peace.

Recall gives one such example I'd like it for in the intro paragraph on the feature's page:

> Recall’s analysis allows you to search for content, including both images and text, using natural language. Trying to remember the name of the Korean restaurant your friend Alice mentioned? Just ask Recall and it retrieves both text and visual matches for your search, automatically sorted by how closely the results match your search. Recall can even take you back to the exact location of the item you saw.

Of course you're welcome to say this isn't a legitimate scenario for you, just as someone might say no situation is legitimate for them to need browser history, but that doesn't mean there is no legitimate scenario for consumers in general. It also doesn't say much from you beyond "I don't like it".
To be fair, most users think Steam is much better than any of the alternatives on PC, which is part of why Valve gets away with charging a 30% cut. So "voluntary" isn't the right word, there is significant customer pressure to release on Steam.
that's a fair point. i haven't read anything about how children were treated in china in the past. i am more familiar with stories about treatment of children in historical europe. in short, in europe children were seen as a necessary nuisance (someone mentioned cattle)

but from that i want to draw a few observations: i think attitude towards children in europe either has improved or it hasn't changed. if it hasn't changed, then why should it have changed in china? but even if it has improved, on one hand it is still way behind china by comparison, but on the other hand we stopped depending on direct children a few decades earlier than china, so if there was a parallel development then china would have to be a few decades behind europe with their changing attitude towards children. that being not the case suggests that there was no change in attitude at all, or at least not one prompted by a modern pension system and therefore the chinese attitude towards children could not be a new thing.
Proton is developed by Codeweaver + Valve.
Ideal reality vs. actual reality are separate things. In fact, recognizing actual reality is a prerequisite to going "well damn this actually really sucks we should fix that."

In an ideal world, men would be just as likely to be taking on the responsibilities of childcare in equal measures with women. In the real world, even in "progressive" areas, women disproportionately are shouldered with those responsibilities. It is something that I would expect an event focusing on female founders and the challenges they face would take into account.
Depends on the field what you risk. Many white collar jobs will not risk their lives or injury, plus nowadays regulations should reduce these extreme risks.

Saying "owner simply has less money" can have many implications on their life. If they choose to put money in a company rather than have a bigger apartment/TV/car/whatever, I find it fair for that to be rewarded a bit.

I think it is disingenuous to think "basic needs" is simple to define, considering that there is no cheap and free energy source (and other resources). For someone living in a warm climate, the basic need for heating in north of Europe will look like a waste.

My opinion is that tax systems are completely outdated and they should use more "asymptotic/exponential/complex formulas". Sure a tax of x % on profit worked 100 years ago when most people were "closer" but with today's growth (of many things), you get too much concentration. But of course that would imply that people understand both tax and math, so most will not demand it.
There's probably a takings clause argument that the police should be required to reimburse the owner for reasonable expenses from the temporary loss of use of their vehicle.

Edit: cursory Googling turned up an old law journal article about this exact subject that lays out the arguments for and against: https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1... (PDF) I don't know how the law has evolved since it was written.
Self medicating with drugs and alcohol is very common in people with all types of psychiatric disorders.

I would expect that a bunch of schizophrenics who have never committed a homicide would have high rates of drug and alcohol abuse in their history. People with less severe symptoms and those getting treatment would be less likely to self medicate.

Finding that a bunch of schizophrenics who have committed a homicide have high rates of drug and alcohol abuse isn't surprising either.

Because drug/alcohol use can impair people's judgement/inhibitions in the best of circumstances it could be a factor in attacks by schizophrenics, but considering that there are vast numbers of people with who take drugs to excess and very few of them commit homicide I wouldn't jump to putting all the blame on the booze and weed. I'd think that it has a lot more to do with severe cases self-medicating and the lack of treatment.
