I think the Wiki should have some more screen shots and video, even though they are on steam. It might be good to also have on wiki also. It might be confusing that it is free for download, but have to visit steam to see it and there it costs.

Why are you charging for the game on Steam and iOS when it is available for free?
The game is being charged for on Steam and iOS because it is one way of supporting Anuke, and it has features not available on the free versions, such as:

A map, mod, and schematic browser
Secure, seamless multiplayer using Steam Multiplayer (eliminates the need to port-forward)
Publicly visible servers at startup
Achievements
Stat tracking
Cloud saves and progress transfer using Steam

I want to know what kind of mental models you used to arrive at that conclusion. Curious.
How can you argue they’re not? Even if you think everything they say is bullshit and that they spy on you actively, being conscious of something means you’re aware of it, that you know it exists and what it is. Apple is certainly conscious of privacy, they don’t shut up about it.

If you believe them or not, that’s a whole different matter.
1. In very few circumstances are the authors setting the price of their work. The publishers do, and the authors receive a small cut.

2. Here, you are contending that knowledge should only be available to those who can pay. That's a completely valid opinion, but let's just be clear about what it is insinuating.

Big fan of Feldera here.

I would advise everybody to stay clear of anything that isn't Feldera or Materialize. Nobody aside from these guys have a IVM product that is grounded on proper theory.

I assume the Murmansk ports told them they won't get back in (after all no other port will, why would they?)

Dynamic dlopen calls do not appear in the ELF at all, these are "normal" function calls.
In China they have something called PeerCDN which does this and pays people money to use their upload. ISPs disconnect subscribers who are caught using it. To avoid suspicion from up/down ratio as some ISPs use, many PeerCDN subscribers also download lots of dummy data from random internet servers, increasing network load substantially.

Your businesses model is wrong. Don't make your businesses/profit model be one of artificial scarcity, as it was in the previous millennium.

Instead, write a TOC and say a first chapter. And give it free. Then establish a target price/profit you want in total for each additional chapter. Setup a "fund me" and release the chapter ONLY after you've received your full payment.

If your content is good, people will pay enough for your next chapter. And you will be fairly compensated for your writing work.

All of my college text books were leaps and bounds more than this, my lowest costing book might have been $75. Most of the books cost well over $150 and many of them couldn’t be purchased online. Most came with some online class learning aid which if you bought the book second hand you’d have to pay the full book price to get the access code anyway. These publishers are out of their minds.

what makes him so evil to me is that where we start with math or geometry and a notion of perfection that we can extrapolate from- one which humans are uniquely imbued to appreciate and emulate, he eschewed the quantiative and replaced it with viral language and sold it as somehow more material and "real."

with any contemplation at all the existence of geometry has necessary and unavoidable moral implications about the possible intent of a creator, and it's hard to see how constructing an ideology to dissolve our connection to those is anything other than a poison. he was a snake and a pimp who wrote a mind virus for self-enslavement as a way to separate people from the dignity of their own humanity. math is not a mystery cult either, and I sympathize with professionals seeing their discipline used for bullshit, but gatekeeping its tools only to initiates should be treated as suspect. to scholars i would say either enlighten people or fuck off, as they aren't equipped for what real gatekeeper personalities are capable of, and a little knowledge won't save you from them.
I came here thinking I would be one of the first to say this.. ha!
Seconded then. Keep a good exclude/include list, and make sure to export a copy.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I can't describe what I want because I don't know it yet. It comes to life as I design.

I was an engineer in a former life but still do a fair amount of printing. But when I design parts there's not even ways I __could__ know what I want before hand. As I build I realize I made wrong assumptions, but also not enough, that there are better ways to do things, that I can solve other problems, that I didn't think how things would interact together, that I could modify things to be better for the manufacturing process (this is such a big on in 3d printing and so many online files get this VERY wrong. But it is a hard skill to learn), and so many other things. In part this is because I've had more time to think, but there's more to it, when you see the thing "coming alive". This is much the same way I code, though I guess that's not common.

I'm not sure if they'll address these problems, but I think anyone working in this space should make sure they also spend a lot of time in CAD themselves. It isn't clear to me that any of the authors do (looking at their websites. The main author mentions interest in AI-CAD but only has work from this year. Get this man a 3D printer). It's quite possible that they do, but they look like they've been computer scientists their whole career and that is probably not enough to understand the the intricacies of the problems they're trying to solve. There's a classic problem in CS where people get that you can learn a lot of things quickly but it is missed that getting the nuance and mastery takes time, that you should talk to experts. The first part is useful because it gives you the language to talk to experts, not because it makes you a replacement for one.
> "While not every investigated company committed the same privacy violations, the conclusion is clear: companies prioritized profits over privacy. "

Why wouldn't they? A capitalist shareholder system requires that they do exactly this, to whatever extent it does not impact sales.

It's on citizens to demand regulation, and yet in the US, a probable majority of voting citizens don't like regulation, and think that government is too large or too untrustworthy. Combine that with the control that corporations have over our politicians, and further combine that with low public understanding of the issue, and there is nothing realistic that can be done.

So I consider surveillance capitalism to be permanent in the US. Regardless of the fact that most people don't like being spied on and manipulated constantly. Perhaps some really large, really bad event could galvanize the public, but I doubt it.
Neither do I, but I can tell you if you manage to bend a normal CPU die the performance loss is 100% (because you broke it).
I see multiple comments arguing that using a CAD package is only easier and faster if you already know how to use a CAD package, and this is a 'better' UI for people who don't have those skills....but in that scenario, are you not then just trading the fixed upfront time investment to learn the basics of CAD, for ongoing inefficiency and difficulty every time you want to model something?

For a user of a UI like this, there comes a point where their time would have been better spent learning a CAD package.

Another layer is if you are modelling something that has to be machined or built in real life, you have to be keeping an eye on how it will physically exist throughout the entire process, stock it will be machined from or materials it will be built with. Thinking in terms of CAD workflows help with this greatly in my experience. The operations shown in the demo are not only easier to perform in a CAD package than describe in English to an LLM, but also the easiest part of it (except maybe if you are designing strictly for 3D printing)
You need to look beyond yourself and the fruits of the labour you feel entitled to.

Look at the whole market, look at market prices, understand how piracy works. If you want to not have your work pirated, you probably have to do what Steam did for video games (and very successfully!) You must sell your work at a price and format that beats piracy for the end user. Piracy involves hassle and risk. But it is the only way to get DRM-free content for most consumers that they truly get to keep forever. If you sell your book for a price your target audience can’t afford in relation to the value it provides, and you may not even sell your book in a true digital ownership way, but only effectively license it, then some consumers won’t want to buy that and piracy is an alternative.

You may say that you are unwilling to offer your work at a price palatable to people more than piracy. And that is your prerogative. But you will always have a degree of piracy in what you put out then. This is the market reality.

You should calculate what makes most sense to you — maybe it is higher price and piracy, maybe it is lower price, DRM-free and no piracy, or if neither work and you truly can’t sell your work in the actual reality of the market, maybe not doing the work makes sense.

I grew up in a rural part of the United States. First got online in 1996 when I was 8 years old. The best thing that the Internet gave me was a way to talk to strangers from around the world and make friends with people who I would have never had a chance to interact with in person. In my 20s, it lead to real life friendships with people I had met online, which is really cool. I have used Couch Surfing to make friends in places I was traveling through. Lived in Australia for a while with a group of friends I met online.

Its still around, but declining. I sure wish it had types.
I believe that about half of people are unremarkable. All human beings have the potential to be remarkable I think, but for some reason or other, upbringing, exposure to ideas, conditioning, whatever, that half aren't remarkable at all. It is very difficult to tell which people you meet are this way,remarkableness is not a constant, people have talents that they hide because they're self conscious, because they're none of your business or whatever reason, or just contextually, you'll never see it, like a guitar virtuoso you only ever see when hes scanning your groceries at Walmart.

Additionally, because there are public social norms and people are reserved about demonstrating any talents they may have, many of those privately remarkable people won't appear so to anyone outside. So to all of us, it appears that the majority of people are unremarkable.

For this reason, I believe that going along with what is expected, what the norm is, going with the flow, is almost always a losing proposition. Doing what most people do is a sure ticket to mediocrity. But just doing things because everyone else does not is not a ticket to happiness either, you have to use reason and understand what is good for yourself, period, there's no silver bullet to greatness. I think everyone that can do this should do this, differentiate themselves how they please, without harming others or themselves of course.

But I'm sure you know at least some people who have downloaded things just to save even a single dollar.

No, I don't. I've watched people pirate things, certainly, but never have I watched them while thinking "if piracy wasn't an option, they would have paid". Indeed, for many people piracy is a long and difficult process as they kludge through ad-laden pages and dead links. That's why services like Spotify are so successful. On paper, you could have pirated the music, but in practice piracy is much harder. There is nothing analogous for the publishing industry, but I would gladly pay upwards of $20 a month for access to all books.
This may be the case in the short-term. If piracy is left unchecked, the norm eventually becomes 'free', for the work being pirated and a very low percentage of people will pay for it.

A good example of this is larger projects in the OSS community. Large companies don't pay for it, because it's just expected to be free.

I've had some personal issues with Matt and Automattic and I would say there's nothing new in his attitude. But he's not so much different than DHH, Linus Torvalds, and Stallman - he's done a lot, a lot more than most of us, so, he's entitled to strong opinions. And all this looks worse than it is because he's a public figure. We all do stuff like this in our lives, it's just not getting public, but this doesn't mean any of us is so much better and smarter than Matt! And he is right that WP Engine is NOT WordPress.
Is the "life changing stuff" the fact that the US gov't was moderating Twitter and suppressing speech that was unfavorable to their narrative?
> regular people can help

Can we? I have tens of terabytes of unused storage space that I would be happy to contribute to library archival, but my understanding is that if I seed these torrents I'm going to get spammed with DMCA letters from publishers until my ISP gives up and cuts my service. If we need to seed exclusively through tor or VPNs in copyright-notice-ignoring countries, then that's not all that accessible to "regular people" anymore.
> That Russia did the same thing is new to me, but if Baltic states/Finland have proper border control there is no problem.

Finland has closed the entire land border with Russia in response to Russia ferrying migrants from the other side of the planet to Finnish border and forcing them to illegally cross it, to overwhelm Finnish social services and incite political instability.

It is not well received because it is a hollow Russian talking point that has no substance behind it. Might as well bring up the international Jewish conspiracy and lizard people while you're at it.

As true as that is, I think the people should still worry 100x more about government surveillance than about commercial surveillance. Commercial surveillance is only trying to sell you something you don't need. In contrast, government surveillance, with or without cooperation from commercial entities, is trying to lock you up for victimless crimes or on flimsy evidence because they have run out of real terrorists to fight. The government's data collection is vastly larger than of anyone else, all paid for by you with your taxes. Encryption, cybersecurity, and minimizing data retention are the primary ways to fight it.

> they lock up the items that cumulatively lose the hardware store the most money, due to theft.

> I doubt the optimization helped their bottom-line

These seem to be in direct contradiction, unless you really think people have stopped going there because of it, to such an extent it outweighs the thefts. Especially when, if they stop going there, the competing local hardware superstore is probably doing the exact same thing. And remember, retail margins aren't usually huge -- for every item stolen, how many more do they need to sell to recoup the loss? Even if some people go to Amazon instead, it can still be worth it to avoid the theft.

It's much more likely that it has indeed had the biggest impact on reducing theft, and that your "discernable logic" simply doesn't have experience with these things -- that theft often isn't about item value, but rather about reliable resellability. A single expensive niche power tool takes a long time to resell; laundry detergent and razor blades can be unloaded in quantity the same day. People go through detergent and razors a lot faster than light bulbs.

I understand you dislike the inconvenience. But I really think you should be blaming the thieves or the factors behind theft, not the stores.
