I'm curious what the rationale here was for using the official SDK, rather than the unencumbered "homebrew" ones[0].

As a complete guess, maybe Nintendo doesn't let you officially publish games built using 3rd party SDKs?

>The primary motivation for Europeans to import knowledge from India wasn't mere academic curiosity - it was a matter of practical necessity, particularly in navigation.

If the Europeans needed help from Indians "particularly in navigation", then why did the Indians never navigate to Europe before Europeans navigated to India?

Also, in your opinion, did the Europeans continue to copy math from India after they copied calculus or did European civilization suddenly start discovering most of the world's important new math and physics (including refinements of calculus and most of the math and physics that requires calculus) while Indian civilization suddenly slowed way down in the rate at which it discovered important new math?
"but the company founder is some billionaire's daughter. I fear ever having a boss like that just because of the fundamental difference in perspective and life experiences. I'm sure I won't be able to communicate with them."

Imagine invalidating a person as a potential colleague and declaring your incompatibility with that person remotely based on a quarter inch deep evaluation of their background. I think this kind of take is in really bad taste.

> , it simply involved a combination of TLS everywhere and encrypting the sensitive fields in the DB.

I'm sorry, are you saying securing patient data is simple? No offense, but you might be the only person on this planet to share this sentiment and there's a reason why.

So, it's simpler to secure sensitive information in a database, secure your hosting, maintain security updates to those hosts, undergo audits, keep up with changing regulations, keep up with the latest threat vulnerabilities, staff a full response team in case something happens, etc?

Not trying to be rude, but it's obviously not simple.

What's crazy about your answer is that we had a whole host of "Bitcoin for your data hacks" that were only made possibly by setups your describing.

>By far the hardest thing about that project was the complexity of the medical codes-

Yes, this is also complex. But a totally different problem in a totally different space.
That may be true, but it’s still not “host OS independence”, which was my point
You can pretty easily self host a GitLab instance, host a kubernetes runner for your images and use Tailscale for SSH keys.

This will most certainly cost you more than $30, but you can do it.
But if I save money in the US I can decide to spend it anywhere else in the world later, including places that are much cheaper than Toulouse.

If I make money in Toulouse then I had better really love Europe, since I will have limited resources to relocate elsewhere if I ever change my mind.

Tl;dr one advantage of getting paid in money over services is that money is much more portable.

You can make a documentary about any person or any company on this planet and make them look evil with the benefit of hindsight.
Yeah I have found copilot to be lacking when it comes to understanding the structure of certain things. Like when you ask it to add tests, it can figure out where the test files go, but can't seem to insert code into existing tests, so you have to rearrange code fairly often.

I think that code generator models need to understand the abstract syntax tree, like using treesitter to better understand the structure, and as you said, the patterns involved in the code. Plus generators could then check that their new code correctly implements a pattern.

I'd love to be able to feed a repo into a model and get documentation and diagrams out of it.
these are almost entirely unrelated problems

actually you are not free to do that. renouncing citizenship requires a reason other than "to escape tax obligations"
Clear cut voter intimidation.
The real problem with dividends is they're taxed at the corporate level (corporate income tax) and then taxed when distributed to the shareholders (the shareholders pay income tax on the dividend).

Eliminating the double taxation of dividends would likely solve most of the buyback problems.
I have yet to see a coherent philosophy that is able to differentiate between human communities and “the natural world” in a way that isn’t totally arbitrary

The distinction between wild or natural is completely arbitrary human made, and has no actual reflection on reality that I can tell

Humans are not the only set of organisms to radically change landscapes - Ants, wasps, locusts and beavers perfectly demonstrate that.

Humans are not the only set of organisms to be altruistic or communal

Humans are the only animal who have the ability to destroy all other animals, and that seems to be the only distinction that we make - eg boils down to might makes right,

So I would love to hear somebody give me a proof of why this distinction in scale rather than kind, is actually a worthwhile ETHICAL differentiator, such so we can actually reason about what that difference implies in a way that doesn’t make artificial or arbitrary distinctions or appeal to self interests alone
> Therefore, in this reasoning, Boeing must be like a public actor. It's really remarkable the mental effort people will go through to avoid any type of narrative that MIGHT imply the private sector needs more accountability.

Maybe it wasn't very clear but I'm making (trying to make) the opposite point. Boeing pays out bonuses to executives like they're a for-profit company, but considering Boeing is too big to fail and NASA using them as a partner to push their other partners and won't drop them no matter what happens (one of the press conferences about Starliner made this very clear) makes it seem like Boeing is a government agency.

Seems weird to immediately jump to "Reagan-era conservative propaganda" when I'm probably as far away from anything like that as humanly possibly.
That's an argument against buying an iPhone and AirPods Pro together as a combination instead of buying a hearing aid, but

- it's not an argument against using AirPods as an aid with mild hearing loss if you're already an iPhone user

- it's not necessarily a great argument against buying an iPhone and iPods Pro anyway, given that hearing aids can easily run hundreds or even thousands of dollars more than that combination

- the vast majority of smart phone customers, both on and off HN, have either factored "walled garden" into their buying considerations at this point or never will

- let's not pretend Samsung is not already trying to figure out how to cram this into their next Galaxy Buds for Android users anyway, which will somehow work best with Samsung phones, not so well with other Android phones, and not at all with iPhones, but nobody will really complain about it because whatevs, it's not Apple
> The whole point of tying executive compensation to share price was to have them have some rough stake in the business

This reasoning was always flawed. The Stock Market is not real life. It consists of the opinions of a bunch of guys who sit in towers in New York, London, Shanghai, etc... In theory there are fundamentals that should drive the price, but in practice the market is not rational. It's not a good metric for the long term health of a company. Even worse, Goodhart's law applies in spades:

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

Time and time again we see CEOs playing games with the stock price in order to get a big payday. We see management sacrificing long term stability in order to maximize their year end bonus.

Imagine if every time you remember a now dead company do a stock buyback they instead invested that money into R&D, or simply lowered their prices to be more competitive in the market? Maybe they paid their employees better and didn't have constant turnover problems and had higher quality output. How many of those now failed companies would still be around today?
It's like how Microsoft owns Windows, but not windows.
To me, there's no evidence in any of this that would indicate the creators are misinformed or being scammed. In reality, they know their primary source of revenue is coming from Youtube, and it is a frequent complaint, especially for content creators who do anything marginally political or controversial, that they are demonetized or hit with copyright strikes (even in clear cases of fair use) and have to deal with the faceless Google behemoth trying to reverse these automated decisions. The end result of all this is that their revenue stream is unstable, and they are reminded of it frequently.

To me, the fact that many of them clearly find Nebula a more suitable arrangement for them is still an indicator to me that, if I want to support the creators, Nebula is a better way to do that. Obviously, you can make your own decision on that, and sure, if you feel lied to, I can appreciate being upset about that. But maybe most of these content creators are less concerned with the ownership (they get 0% stake in Google, after all) and more concerned with the profit sharing arrangement. If so, I'm still happy to support them in that.
The 737 MAX was a poor, cheap design from the start. It was a cost-cutting plane and compromises, like MCAS, had to be implemented to make it work.
This is really the key - there's a ocean of difference between "we manufacture literally nothing" and "we don't manufacture/assemble as much as we could".

This is what I come to HN for. Kudos to OP and their colleague. I know it's impossible but what a blessing it would be if Nintendo could be a little more open about their system.
Because it's well established that game developers can and will jump through whatever hoops the platform holder demands at their own expense, they don't have the leverage to be picky about the technical details when deciding which platforms to ship on. Nintendo doesn't need to create new incentives to release on the Switch when they already have the biggest incentive of all: 140+ million units sold, and a high attach rate.

At least there isn't as much hoop jumping as there used to be, since the systems have all converged on using commodity CPU and GPU architectures with at most minor embellishments.
Re: securing SSH keys; Nowadays most password managers can store SSH keys and integrate nicely with your SSH agent, making it essentially equivalent to logging in with a password. I use KeepassXC[1], and the workflow consists of opening the database using my master password, then just `ssh machine`, so in my book it's at the same level of comfort as a web interface for your cloud provider

How about they tried using that money to be more competitive in the market? Lowering prices. Paying workers more. Spending more on R&D. That sort of thing. Why are shareholder considerations the only considerations?

> Is it crippling to the point of ostracization?

Nobody is arguing that it is, I think you are taking this a bit too far. All anybody has said is that some people have a dim view of sex work, thats it, and its true. Stop trying to extrapolate and assume further than the point in question.

> being able to filter out people who would look down on those attributes/experiences is increasingly becoming a net positive

And there I was foolishly thinking we were all trying to move to a more tolerant and accepting world. Thats an incrdibly devisive opinion and is the basis for cancel culture.
I for one would rather try to understand peoples opionins and discuss it with them rather than to 'filter them out'.

> I wouldn't wan to associate with someone who disparaged people because they have a piecing or like to take naked photos.

Then we are very different people. I will associate with anybody, and try to find the best in them along with some common ground to work on together.

The brain is just an example of a system we are all running that we understand the baseline mechanics of, but which for any task much more complex than breathing, is accomplished through a novel self-organizing structure using a lot of iteration. Other than very broad-strokes regional distinctions, the brain is not organized by some plan that existed before construction, and is not comprised of intelligible dedicated circuit that we can observe postmortem with perfect information.

The sheer number and variety and networking of synapses involved in the skill 'skateboarding' is irreducibly, unintelligibly complex for an intelligence on the scale of a conscious human mind to describe, fully comprehend, or even recognize with a great deal of analysis. Even if you decided all the functional pathworks through the network in one example, you would not be able to decode another because every skateboarder has trained their neural network in a unique manner.

The preying on part, is imo, the para-social relationships that creators form with users.

Society figured out a long time ago that teenagers are susceptible to being taken advantage of by adults. It's why every modern nation has age of consent laws.

But onlyfans circumvents that. Creators interact with users, and the users, mostly teenagers, can interact back. This happens on twitch as well, and twitch is used as a funnel for onlyfans.

I think it's hard to argue that there isn't a fundamental difference between:

- watching recorded porn

- a social media platform that allows pornstars to chat with and perform private shows for users, who have a high chance of being under 18
You ever heard of that phrase “actions speak louder than words”? No? Okay, let me give you an intro then.

The only two sources you can trust on this subject matter are actions of countries, and the the use of the thing between your ears. There is a political game that is played and the only thing that matters are the moves made. All of the words wasted in so-called “news” are irrelevant. That’s just entertainment for the masses devoid of reality. The things that matter are actions and inactions of countries. The straight moves, the misdirects, and the jukes along the way. Whenever you are gloating about how a country is doing something dumb, you are saying that you cannot read the hand they are about to play. Keep this in mind, and act accordingly.
Another commenter said the same thing. I'm curious about the association because I spend a lot of time in my local state/national parks with recreational rules. I think I've run into a dirtbike once and never seen an ATV (although I see their tracks).

I'm sure it's geo-dependent, but I wonder if there's a wider media narrative driving the association.
The advice though on the market is that if you want a good cup of coffee you need to do more than buy the machine. I agree that the gains are marginal. With a PC, I can upgrade my ram and the gains might be marginal, but I still have a world of free stuff I can install and tinker on it. Once the espresso machine is built/upgraded then that’s it really. You can only buy more things for it. There is no exploratory afterward to enjoy really.

I don’t agree that a moka pot wouldn’t be enough. Percolation through a moka pot tastes 10 times better than my Gaggia. My Gaggia has no determination when enough is enough, I have to count to 20-25 seconds each time I want a cup. I once accidentally percolated a cup with it by not refilling the resovoir enough. The little water the boiler was able to pump out was pure steam and it was my best cup of coffee I had with the machine, even if it was maybe detrimental to the machine itself.

It probably depends on your problem space. In creative writing, I wonder if its even perceptible if the LLM is creating content at the boundaries of its knowledge base. But for programming or other falsifiable (and rapidly changing) disciplines it is noticeable and a problem.

Maybe some evaluation of the sample size would be helpful? If the LLM has less than X samples of an input word or phrase it could include a cautionary note in its output, or even respond with some variant of “I don’t know”.
Just a heads up that these will come from Henley Wing.

The circle of life. People said the same thing about Playboy when it first came out, about Internet porn when it first came out… People have been “falling in love” with strippers for as long as strippers have existed. In many ways OF feels like a positive step because it allows the removal of toxic middlemen that stand between the model and their customer.

To my mind the bigger issue is how much of it is a total scam. OF models offshoring their DM responses so their clients think they’re having conversations with the model when it’s actually some dude half the world away. Or using AI for the same, which I’m sure is increasing exponentially.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens when AI is able to generate on demand video/photo and chat that’s realistic enough to satisfy an online client. If people are specifically told it’s AI will they be content with that? Or will they still want an actual real human? We're not exactly rational creatures at the best of times so it’ll be fascinating to see. We’ll have gone from the phone sex lines of yore, where you are interacting with a real human even though they’re definitely not the human you’re imagining in your head, to an AI video chat where you’re seeing exactly what you want but there’s nothing behind it.

Other legends about Koji include the time he was drinking with Akechi Mitsuhide — who betrayed Nobunaga and forced him to commit suicide — when he summoned a ship from a painting in the traitorous samurai’s possession, flooding his house.

I believe you're on the right track. To me, it only seems paradoxical when viewed in isolation. mTOR activation is conducive to growth, but unchecked growth is called cancer.

A person (and the processes in their body) goes through cycles on a daily and long-term basis. One is not constantly eating, exercising, and growing.

Muscle mass and strength are not the same thing, though they are highly correlated. I believe most studies on the elderly use measures like grip strength, which is a proxy for frailty.

The elderly don't have the same capacity for growth or energy. However, they can avoid wasting away by remaining active. They certainly benefit from autophagy as it clears senescent cells. Perhaps this shift is the body's way of reducing the risk of cancer.

As an aside, a curious data point is that men have shorter lifespans than women on average. There are likely several reasons for this, but I wonder if this has to do with the hormonal effect on mTOR. Perhaps our ability to grow is finite, and excessive activation of mTOR "runs out the clock" faster.

TL;DR: It's a balancing act.

So, yes. All have deep ties with government through their regulatory apparatus (some would characterize this as "capture"). Also of note: people might be confused by tobacco's inclusion here if they don't realize that North America was essentially settled as a tobacco agribusiness (Spanish gold-hunting and death-trap religious colonies notwithstanding). Tobacco's role in shaping America's socioeconomic nature is massively underrated.

I totally concur that the idealized firm would be able to actually sit in the space that you describe, namely, providing a better more coherent, more integrated service at a more equitable price point across the range of services

However, that’s not the world we live in and the reality is that existing monopolies don’t remain entrenched accidentally. They remain entrenched because they use state power via the law to entrenche their immoral activities.

In the face of that, you actually have to be - not just passive - because you will be faced with active attack.

So seizing really does a certain point mean at the detriment to existing monopoly power, and more or less whatever that takes to fight

I do live in a country where sex work is legal. There is still a darker sides to the trade. I think customers do lose even more dignity. Or someone who does sex work because it is "empowering" compared to someone that is forced into it.
