Yeah, exactly: in Hungary. The rest of the world is bigger than Hungary, so the terms used in the rest of the world are more wide-spread than those used in Hungary.
Interesting. In EU, I never saw a business accepting only Visa but not MC or vice versa.

The only two semi-exceptions:

- during a MC-sponsored event, you had extra fast lanes when paying with MC (Roland Garros in Paris)

- Ryanair (low-cost airline) would accept free payments only with some niche cards (Visa Electron, Mastercard prepaid) and charge like 10€ extra per flight segment for any other card, until I think EU forbid it.
I can't speak for the current version of GameMaker, but the versions from around 2002 ("by Mark Overmars", when I was 9 or 10) were definitely a significant part of my development as a programmer, so I'm happy to see this recommended.
People have not endless money, so they have to calculate the value and final cost of everything. And subscriptions are very, very low on the value-calculation, because it's a recurring cost which will grow over time, which means it's risky.

Additionally, people usually buy something for the value it has now, or a promised value which might materialize in the future and they consider realistic. So, if your tool has a legit reason for a subscription, people might pay for it. This means, server-costs on your side, which are realistic for the demanded price. Or a roadmap of fancy features which are actively worked on.

But paying for something regularly, where there are no ongoing costs on the sellers side, and no foreseeable positive changes in the value of the tool...this makes it really hard to reason about the cost&benefits. I mean, the tool will not change, the value is static, why pay for it again and again and again? This is like Walmart asking for a subscription for silverware..

Or perhaps they are/were being selective. If people on certain plans almost never hang around because of the extra steps and never move to a different product instead of leaving after taking to a rep, they might just let those customers go to save effort. This is particularly likely for services that were originally loss-leaders to get people in and the company makes nothing from them directly (or makes a small loss).
I got access to the Advanced Voice mode a couple of hours ago and have started testing it. (I had to delete and reinstall the ChatGPT app on my iPhone and iPad to get it to work. I am a ChatGPT Plus subscriber.)

In my tests so far it has worked as promised. It can distinguish and produce different accents and tones of voice. I am able to speak with it in both Japanese and English, going back and forth between the languages, without any problem. When I interrupt it, it stops talking and correctly hears what I said. I played it a recording of a one-minute news report in Japanese and asked it to summarize it in English, and it did so perfectly. When I asked it to summarize a continuous live audio stream, though, it refused.

I played the role of a learner of either English or Japanese and asked it for conversation practice, to explain the meanings of words and sentences, etc. It seemed to work quite well for that, too, though the results might be different for genuine language learners. (I am already fluent in both languages.) Because of tokenization issues, it might have difficulty explaining granular details of language—spellings, conjugations, written characters, etc.—and confuse learners as a result.

Among the many other things I want to know is how well it can be used for interpreting conversations between people who don’t share a common language. Previous interpreting apps I tested failed pretty quickly in real-life situations. This seems to have the potential, at least, to be much more useful.

Either way, it would force us to re-think our practice of broadcasting into space.
I’m a bell customer in Canada and it used to be the case that the ISP provided modem had a CPU too slow to run PPPoE at a gigabit despite the ISP selling plans up to 1.5gb/s (it could only do 600mb/s or something but don’t quote me). That model has a sfp ont and so you could swap it into something else with no hacking but now you can only get the model with the ont built it. The new model is better hardware wise but just as bad software wise so it feels like a step back in practice.

I think selling users SFP ONTs is probably the right balance of ISP control vs allowing customer freedom

Oh yeah, true. Thanks for pointing out.

It's just that in Europe the data is much more sparse to begin with. In many places Google didn't go multiple times, so there just can't be older data. On some streets however I see that if the data was really old (before ~2010/2012) Google probably decided that the quality was so bad – well, it really is – that they do not make it available. So even if there were multiple passes it is not a must that this feature comes available.
There definitely doesn't need to be truncation. A upper limit yes, to avoid the potential for DoS, but no truncation. That limit should be reasonably large, 1000 characters or something maybe.

I've seen a service whose registration form accepted my 64 characters long randomly generated password, but then the login form apparently truncated the password to something smaller, silently, and just said my password was incorrect. I then had to guess what was happening and reset my password to something shorter, which worked. If you must have a stupid password policy at least make it explicit (well, and consistent).

> Dumping more money into one problem doesn't necessarily help solve it better

I agree this is a false dichotomy, but also pretty sure dumping money into building houses and hiring every unemployed person at a socially inclusive minimum wage would eliminate both housing and unemployment.

But I also think we have enough resources to both conduct space exploration, house and feed everyone. We can eliminate involuntary unemployment with a couple of keystrokes.

The sum total of all of this would be to stimulate the type of innovation required to transition to a zero carbon emissions economy.

The main thing compared to the old voice mode is that your speech instead of being fed to a speech to text model is now fed to the LLM directly. I'm not sure if that would be enough to trigger a need for external review though.

If they were using your voice recording for training purposes, then of course absolutely. Which then for a good reason.

Or it could also be about the way the voice recording is transported or where it's stored, for how long it's stored etc. Because speech to text could be achieved even offline and not in cloud and be there for shorter period of time. You can delete the recording and just use the text.

If the voice recording is tokenized in an ongoing conversation then it would be stored indefinitely.

> I can trust Jonathan

Given the clear bias in the writing and the coverage, how do you reconcile this? LWN isn't a news site staffed with reporters any more than Fox News is and it is much more closely defined by being a personal infoblog these days. Phoronix, Linuxiac, and DistroWatch are a few examples closer to actual news without trying to lead the reader. The Register, even with snark, is more representative of a news site these days.

I used to be a fan of Jonathan and LWN but in recent times, he seems less interested in being a reporter and more interested in being a Rust evangelist. That isn't a source I can trust.

I think it has made me more skeptical of arguments about identities, of people and all kinds of things. We put an awful lot of effort into trying to figure out and convince others of just what kind of person someone is, what kind of action something was, and even what kind of object something is. We often feel that once we determine the thing’s category, then all questions will be answered about it: The person is qualified or unqualified; it’s the right thing to do or the wrong thing; the object must be made out of wood. But division into categories is often arbitrary — not completely, but in some respects. And every category is a simplification to some degree; it throws away information about the thing.

To give benefit of the doubt, it could also be just about a review process, it might come available after a review.

E.g. one valid use-case would be about storing your voice recording on the cloud in a tokenized format.

Because the model is now directly taking your voice, which I assume as tokens, it can't be immediately deleted as opposed to speech to text, which can be quickly used to convert to text and then deleted.
Datomic (as presented in this video) seems like a great thing. But if it's so great, why are so few people talking about it? Is it because it only exists for Clojure, and few people know or talk about Clojure?

I love Clojure as a language, and I have wanted to use it in production; but there are so few opportunities other than solo building - where you really have to climb a steep wall due to the Clojurist mentality of /Frameworks Bad! Choose all your own libraries good!/. Instead I have found myself happy and productive in the Elixir/BEAM world, of course initially because of Phoenix.

And like many people, I have just been accepting the destructive, non-historic approach to data management with typical RDBMSs. If there were a Datomic for Elixir, I'd probably use it.

Must Datomic (or a data management approach like it) be tightly coupled with Clojure?

It's interesting that rather than walking everywhere and getting busses they seem to have gone with ebikes. I've found in practice that kind of thing is a very pleasant way to get around. Unlike walking/busses it's pretty quick. Also unlike non electric bikes it's kind of effortless which is good for older people - I'm 60 and find non electric a bit tiring now. And unlike cars parking isn't really a problem. Also unlike motorcycles, limiting the speed to 15-20 mph makes it mostly non fatal accident wise.

It's a weird middle-seat where on one hand, the fediverse won't start asking you for your name or to get a picture of you holding your ID, but on the other, at least when Facebook trains its models on the stuff you post, they'll tell you about it in their user agreement.
This is such a pathetic attempt.

As for all the "WordPress" mentions on WPEngine's site... well that is the software they're selling. Would Matt not throw another fit if they'd fork WordPress and call it WildPages?

And yet, Rust is the exact opposite. Why try to make the two meet? The argument for Rust in the kernel over memory safety can be remediated by better memory safety tools for C can't it? (Not that the Linux kernel project doesn't have any already.)

> we need to send one that can get below the ice and look around.

I wondered about this - perhaps some sort of lander with a thermo-nuclear energy source that could slowly melt its way down to the liquid water, spooling out some sort of antenna from an internal compartment as it goes.

Turns out though that the crust is up to 25KM thick though. Probably not viable!

Edit: turns out 25KM spools of fibre are openly available to buy online (so i.e. not exactly unheard of) and only weigh 3-4kg. Maybe not so out of reach after all? Leave a "base station" on the surface at one end of the fibre, and at the other end another "subsurface station" that has a ROV-style tethered- "swimmer" (not a lander) that communicates back to the surface via the fibre, and the base station radios back to some orbiting thing/DSN etc. Fun to imagine these sort of things without any knowledge or experience or credentials! :)

I find platforms like Mastodon have had an effect of strengthening these echo chambers and the extremity of peoples views, emboldening the division of society and ultimately being self-harming.
