Adam (CEO of Ditto) here, happy to answer any questions! Really excited about this partnership and the potential to combine our unique P2P capability (powered by CRDTs) with Mongo Atlas.

Our belief is that edge devices are super computers that shouldn't be treated as dumb clients. These devices can store data, perform advanced computation, and connect to each other directly - which is what Ditto enables.

This doesn't mean the cloud is going anywhere, centralized systems still play a major role, especially in large scale AI workloads (where Mongo's vector search means you don't need other tools). However, the cloud is not guaranteed from connectivity failures to backends issues (like CrowdStrike outages).

Ditto + Mongo means you can build resilient applications that leverage the best of the edge and cloud!

Lurk 0.5 Benchmarks: zero-knowledge Lisp is the fastest zkVM
> I'm still wondering if there could exist an alternative world where efficient addition over decimal numbers that we developers use on a day to day basis is associative. Is that even possible or is there perhaps some fundamental limit that forces us to trade associativity for performance?

You're always welcome to use a weaker notion of associativity than bitwise equality (e.g., -ffast-math pretends many operations are associative to reorder them for speed, and that only gives approximately correct results on well-conditioned problems).

In general though, yes, such a limit does exist. Imagine, for the sake of argument, an xxx.yyy fixed-point system. What's the result of 100 * 0.01 * 0.01? You either get 0.01 or 0, depending on where you place the parentheses.

The general problem is in throwing away information. Trashing bits doesn't necessarily mean your operations won't be associative (imagine as a counter-example the infix operator x+y==1 for all x,y). It doesn't take many extra conditions to violate associativity though, and trashed bits for addition and multiplication are going to fit that description.

How do you gain associativity then? At a minimum, you can't throw information away. Your fast machine operations use an unbounded amount of RAM and don't fit in registers. Being floating-point vs fixed-point only affects that conclusion in extremely specialized cases (like only doing addition without overflow -- which sometimes applies to the financial industry, but even then you need to think twice about the machine representation of what you're doing).

Your parent message is clearly sarcasm (I think - text makes this hard to say for sure, but I usually assume the better option). But yeah, turns out that people don't really want a distributed version control system (at least git works offline, which was not true for its predecessors).
It is not so strange. Game journalism is mostly completely out of touch with majority of gamers and often part of 'woke' echo chambers with their fallback usually being blaming things on review bombing and other problems.

So basically in France, but i think this is from EU directives (directives are not laws, just "please we want to have at least this implemented in your country" but any country can ignore them if they want):

- you can't record public places without being present (police is excluded, but private shop owners not, hence you can't have camera filing anything other than the inside of your shop)

- You can't record children in any way without their explicit consent and, if they're younger than YY (i don't remember), their parent consent, if they can be identified. Anyway, you can't publish any record where a child can be recognized without explicit consent (you have to blur them even if you post it on a private group in social media ideally) (not 100% sure about that, i think you have at least 3 laws that intersect here)

- You can record adults in public places. You cannot post your recording without explicit consent (blur them when in doubt).
It's a stretch yes, but you could start filming builders at their work, have them all wear cameras and LIDAR as a job requirement, get all the data into robots and then fire them all without compensation.
no, they can write off the loss regardless of whether it's been released
That's less of a scam and more of a personal responsibility problem. Like gambling, it doesn't necessarily involve any dishonesty, just encouraging you to imagine you'll sign up a lot of members or sell a lot of product. Further into the less-scammy direction is you buy a toy for your kid but he doesn't like playing with it. Were you scammed into buying a useless product? In a way, yes, but also there has to be some point where people are allowed the freedom to make their own mistakes.

Maybe the article is intentionally supposed to read like that?
Steam isn’t voluntary on PC, since that’s where the users are.

And that’s the same dilemma as with any of the other gatekeepers like MS or Sony or Apple. Right now sure, you can choose not to play ball with any one of them… but if you want to have users you need to play ball with one of them, and they’re all offering the exact same deal.

People have a-priori determined that “only steam is ok” and that itself is anticompetitive and market-distorting. It’s already a monopsony at that point. It’s the Walmart situation where even if there’s notionally a market with millions of end-users… they’re all fronted by a single merchant with monopsony or oligopsony pricing power. Aka what the EU calls a “gatekeeper”. Market fairness isn’t just fairness to consumers after all, or epic wouldn’t be in court.

And from a gamedev perspective it’s the exact same as apple: if you want to access the pc market you don’t have a choice, steam is the pc market and retains a functional ~100% control of this market (in a gatekeeping sense) such that valve should be subject to DMA-style rules and restrictions. Again just like apple, you can go elsewhere, but if you want these users then valve retains a chokehold on your revenue and you don’t really have a choice.

You can decide for yourself whether that’s a reasonable perspective and consideration but that’s the one that’s been applied to apple and their own App Store. Doesn’t matter if people can sideload (altstore/altserver exists) or use a different device, they worked themselves into a gatekeeper position and should be treated as such.

People don’t like that comparison, steam is a mostly benevolent gatekeeper, at least to users… but other people are happy with apple too, and from the gamedev side the deal is equally coercive. If market access is a thing we protect then steam is a absolutely a gatekeee in the apple sense.

This is the tension with apple too: apple being a gatekeeper is largely good for me as a user (or else I’d change away, which I am very free to do). When they slap, it's generally in my interest for them to have slapped whoever was stepping over the line - like when they slapped Facebook for bribing customers to install spyware. It is, however, bad for studios and corporate entities.

Steam is just a more pronounced version of this dichotomy - they are generally a very benevolent gatekeeper, but they control ~100% of the PC market revenue, so if you are a developer who wants to release on PC, you have very little market choice. Some small indie titles do it, but you're leaving money on the table and certainly no major studio wants to do it. Hence all the third-party stores - and that proliferation is what consumers don't like. The thing is, people actually like steam gatekeeping... and others actually like apple gatekeeping.

Huh, looks like it's going to show up in a Steam Deck competitor, the MSI Claw 8. Definitely interested to know how it compares.
I’ve created two TOTP 2FA on two different YubiKeys. During the TOPT configuration process, the website gives me a password that I enter on the YubiKey configuration app.

Then, I do not store that password. But if I stored it on Bitwarden, I could easily create a YubiKey backup or set it on another app like ente.

I have not kept that password because I considered that it could be easily compromise my security. I have kept the backup codes nonetheless.

Should I keep the TOTP configuration password that the website gives me when I tell it that I cannot scan the QR code?
"For you turquoise is blue" - no, for me turquoise is turquoise, but you did give me that as an option. Multiple times I thought to myself "I would not call this color blue or green, it is some variety of blue-green". So in my opinion that makes this whole test kind of nonsensical.

* There are a ton of leaked malware sources (and/or binaries) stored on github. They are not banned

* Github is full of blatantly obvious malware (at best "pentesting tools", at worst "educational projects"). Sadly, not banned too.
The reality is that these thoughts and voices are just coming from the subconscious of humanity as well as from greater existence, which includes spirits, both positive and negative. If people grow up in a western context where people frequently say and think phrases like "go kill yourself" to mentally vulnerable people, then these mentally vulnerable people will pick up on these thoughts and phrases. If people grow up in other cultural contexts where there is a recognition of the existence of a world beyond material existence, then they will be open to spirits in a general sense and not see it as a pathology. Additionally, people in these contexts aren't so violent towards the mentally ill, so they don't perceive the aggressive thoughts that mental patients in the west experience.
That was fun! I got to 175. Reminds me of the fly swatting game on Mario Paint. Or this app with cat games that I play with my girlfriend's cat.

Could Charli XCX's "365" song be an SEO attack on Microsoft?
I'm wondering if Google is paying Charli XCX:

1. She has a pixel 8a in her music video for "360"
2. Her lyrics "you wanna guess the password to my google drive".
3. Naming a song 365, could this make it harder to search for information about Microsoft 365?

there’s no reason someone who birthed a child should shoulder a disproportionate amount of the child rearing

there is: breastfeeding. and no, pumping breastmilk and having dad feed the baby with a bottle is not the same thing.

the necessary reality is that the body contact that mother and baby experience while breastfeeding has no equivalence in the other gender, and if you value that experience then by necessity a breastfeeding mother must be doing a disproportionate amount of the child rearing.
The people that made the product possible get nothing, this is the difference. The library paid for a copy of the book, so did millions of others.

In the example you gave, it would be the equivalent to you getting a job, working hard to produce something, and get nothing in return.
It is not moving the goalposts to point out that we use different measures of ubiquity. Your measure is things you have heard from your friends, mine is the nearly inescapable pile of generated garbage that has swamped the internet.

I do not understand your point about agents other than I’m assuming that you’re pointing out that the flood of garbage has made their jobs more difficult as well.

Anyway, it does not make any sense to believe that humans are especially not-lazy when it comes to generative AI in particular.

I think the point is that deliberately trying to piss someone off and annoy them is a super childish and ridiculous thing to do and is indicative of a place I wouldn't want to work. Interviewing is already stressful and terrible enough without deliberately being antagonized. Most people are not going to go off on someone doing this, they're just going to be turned off by the entire process and decline to go forward to the interview or hiring process.

I think a good comparison would be your romantic partner "testing" you by asking their friend to try to sleep with you and see if you try to go through with it. This is toxic, manipulative, sociopath level behavior.

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

The gaming industry is larger than the film and music industry combined, and is the single largest revenue source for mobile app stores, by far. The worldwide industry was worth roughly ~282B last year [1]

For comparison, the entire US farming industry is 203.5B [2]

Hardly small.

You linked its Wikipedia entry, I don’t see your quote there, and DDG doesn’t find anything for it either. I do see various things she said about transcendence and immanence that could be twisted into that, possibly through a bad translation app, but that doesn’t directly map to her believing or implying that men bear responsibility for our status as a species, nor does it map to women only or merely perpetuating the species.

Also the degree to which we developed ourselves beyond our basic physical capabilities presumes our technology isn’t a product of our mind and our opposable thumbs, aka of our basic physical capabilities.
Do you think a computer simulation of an EMF wave is an actual EMF wave? If everything, according to you, is just a computation aren't you also claiming that actual EMF waves are "just computations"? Also does the substrate for the computation matter? What if I'm moving beads on billions of abacuses (as a thought experiment), are those abacuses therefore identical to an EMF wave if they're calculating wave mechanics? How does this abacus know I'm doing EMF wave calculations instead of, say, quantum probability wave calculations?

It's true that, in those groups, a shared ethnic identity enables economic cooperation. But the lack of solidarity you observe is the result of a regime of coercion. The official policy: leave your neighborhood, family, friends, and passions for 40+ hours a week to build a capitalist's business. You have to do it to survive. And the police are there to make sure revolts don't break out.
Most games require a dedicated hardware device or beefier PC hardware. It is also easier to veg out on the alternatives than games which require more active engagement on the part of the player.

Word makes the world go round. Perhaps specialized publishers will accept LaTeX, but most of the industry does not.

Still didn't work for me. I think it's stuck in my system now.

I think Fusion copies the add-in to a different directory, which I need to go find and manually delete. These add-ins should really have a Windows Installer function so that I can run the uninstaller to remove it, or have it run the uninstaller when the add-in loads or something to wipe the old files.

This is part of the problem with these add ins in general. I just installed this thing on my computer, I can't see the python source code, and what did I install and run??? Even if I could see the source, I don't have time to read it. That's why they have the app store, so that it can get reviewed to make sure it's OK. Any reason why you didn't just publish on there?

I should really take the advice of the old guys who say don't trust it if you can't see the source. I'm sure you mean well, but I would feel better/safer if it was open source.

Is there anyone who has made an AI LLM that reviews source code or an installer that you want to run and tells you if it does anything problematic? Would that also work on compiled Python source code?

Curious if you linked to the Python libraries, or copied them in with the add-in? Or were you able to avoid most libraries for this?
There is a lot that can be learned about the mind by carefully observing it facing and coping with these situations. Understanding the chemistry and the usage patterns of various parts of the brain as it goes through this form of internal dialogue.

It would, however, require a lot of commitment from the patient and willingness to face the condition and even make the symptoms worse. And, considering how crude our tools are at this stage, wouldn’t likely yield much useful information.

> every person has a purpose, nobody is superfluous or redundant.

> That’s a tragedy not just for Nicky, but for the rest of us, too. There’s a hole in the ecosystem where Nicky should be: there’s a hospital she should be running, or seventh-graders she should be teaching, or pizzas she should be delivering underwater. Wherever that hole is, everything else will be a little off-balance until Nicky fills it.

Some interesting implications of this:

1. Any children you have, would be fulfilling a purpose in the world

2. If you decide not to have that child, you are depriving the world and everyone else of a person who would otherwise fulfill that purpose

3. Recall that no one is superfluous or redundant. So by depriving the world of a person who can fulfill that purpose, you are guaranteeing that the purpose will never be adequately fulfilled

4. The above applies no matter how many children you've already had. Already had 10 children and decided not to have a 11th? Man, you just created a Nicky-sized hole in the ecosystem. Now the whole world will be off-balance because of your tragic decision

5. So yeah, if you don't want the world to be off-balance, you better get out there and have as many kids as humanly possible
