He made enough to live the rest of his life in luxury. And it wasn’t just online, the attention bled into his personal life.

> As news hit of how much money Nguyen was making, his face appeared in the Vietnamese papers and on TV, which was how his mom and dad first learned their son had made the game. The local paparazzi soon besieged his parents’ house, and he couldn’t go out unnoticed. While this might seem a small price to pay for such fame and fortune, for Nguyen the attention felt suffocating. “It is something I never want,” he tweeted. “Please give me peace.”

Moreover, you can’t understate the psychological impact. For comparison, the success of Kony 2012 caused Jason Russel (its creator) to have a mental breakdown and run in the streets naked. And all Dong Nguyen did was post a few cryptic tweets, then decide that after he made far beyond enough money for anything he could have realistically dreamed of just a few weeks ago, he was ok with making less money from then on (he still made ad revenue from existing downloads) in exchange for less attention. It's actually impressive how well he kept his sanity during the ordeal.

Not nitpicking this particular reply, but more a general observation as this thread seems to have a few instances.

Any argument made that's trying to take a position on a scientific point, yet has grammatical mistakes, significantly detracts from the point being made. If there is a lack of attention to trivially simple "to" vs "too"...what's the chance of sufficient attention being made to the vastly more complex points of debate?!

The underlying protocol is peer-to-peer sync, so the mesh is really just a bunch of geographically distributed servers that sync between each other as needed and act as "one giant syncing & persistence peer" for your app - mostly so you can sync stuff between devices even if they're not online at the same time, and to use it like cloud storage (I like to call it "S3 for collaborative data")

With decentralised I always like to be very precise:

- Jazz is decentralised in a "source of truth" sense. You mutate data locally and sync edits between participants until you reach eventually consistent history (and thus state, as per the underlying CRDTs)

- the protocol is peer-to-peer

- the way you use it typically is in a very centralised way. You use a central sync and persistence peer (either your own, or my distributed Jazz Mesh service) and every device syncs to that. That way devices don't have to be online at the same time to sync

As of today, there is no player in the Smartphone space who has even remotely the amount of secured income to come up with a similarly volume-scaled device, and there is little incentive for anyone to enter this space.

A new entrant would be unable to secure the investment, because even if he would produce the exact same piece of hardware with the same quality, the carrier distribution channels, the brand-image and (walled garden) ecosystem of Apple will prevent users to even notice and adopt the product, and the press would jump onto it and rip it to pieces.

So how would this normally work?

--> You disrupt the market by doing something particularly good, while being average in other areas, succeed, then iterate.

But this doesn't work in the Smartphone space as:

1.) iOS users are unlikely to leave their ecosystem because they can't take _anything_ with them

2.) the Google ecosystem leaves little room to disrupt and secure return-of-investment, and

3.) for Android you need to (re)build your own ecosystem to _match_ Google/Apple from the start.

That's why it's not a competitive market anymore, and needs to be (wait for it:) regulated to restore an even competition field for Hardware, Applications and Services.

But yeah...not a popular opinion here, I know...

Yeah, SBF was not lying about FTX having the money. It was not totally worthless as many had assumed. it shows how someone can be dishonest in some ways but honest in others.

Well, as a native speaker I don't really have first-hand experience to how hard it is, but here in Belgium it generally agreed on that it's easier for Flems (Dutch speakers) to learn French than for Walloons (French speakers) to learn Dutch.

> he was technically not lying about FTX having the money

They didn't have the money. These gains are due to appreciation.
Of course it's also worth pointing out that this question hinges on the perceived cost of collateral damage.

For countries like the US which at least ostensibly claim to care about human life indiscriminately and to fight for "liberty and peace" and all that, there is a considerable cost to collateral damage, although of course that also depends on who the victims are and the cost can be higher for a Democrat leader than a Republican.

Putin's Russia infamously responded to a hostage crisis in Moscow by killing not only all hostage takers but also more than three times as many hostages and injuring most of the survivors. That alone should make it easy to extrapolate what the cost of collateral damage in Ukraine might be in Russia's calculations. Israel similarly seems to use a much lower cost than the US although in Palestine this is also shaped by the perception that anyone who isn't a militant or supports the militant is eventually going to turn out that way anyway (e.g. the child who died would have grown up to become a threat anyway).

Kind of. A lot of the GC support in the Symbolics 3600 architecture is on the Microcode level (current CPUs usually don't have such operations in Microcode). The word size of the CPU is 36bit. The CPU operations don't deal with the type and gc tags on the instruction level, this is done on the Microcode level. Things like "invisible pointers" are also dealt on the Microcode level.

Ephemeral GC, concentrates on garbage collecting objects in RAM: For example every memory page has a page tag, which marks it modified or not. The ephemeral GC uses this to scan only over changed pages in memory. The virtual memory subsystem keeps a table of swapped-out pages pointing to ephemeral pages. The EGC can then use this information...

Do you have some examples of complex SPA-like apps written in this tech? I find it hard seeing how you would implement interactive components this way. They recommend Stimulus for extra JS, but then, what is the benefit over SPAs?

What I can see is that it could be a nice solution for SPAs that should never have been SPAs in the first place, i.e. mostly static pages with JS navigation used for reasons of fashion.
> Google also can’t:

That's exactly what Epic did trying to make their store happen. They're not the good guys, they just want part of the profit.

Other than that, I see this as a win for other developers and consumers.

Although I don't think this is over, Google will do everything to fight this.
Their vision, which I disagree with, of customer choice, is that its store is an alternative to Steam. Probably they justify their exclusives by not being a monopoly, which gets weird: steam has the monopoly numbers, but epic has the monopoly practices.

They got a few customers from their giveaways - they should stick to those and further improving their store, maybe some people will actually want to use it.

I think you are not distinguishing between what a bankruptcy vs. theft means. I worked over a decade in investment banking including on large bankruptcy proceedings.

A bank can go bankrupt and your deposits might be in jeopardy, because there is fractional reserve banking and by law they are allowed to hold far less (in the US it would actually be 0%) of your deposits and can deny your request to redeem your assets in full in cash. That is to prevent bank runs.

FTX was an exchange, and while the holding company can go bankrupt the customer assets should be always fully funded in segregated accounts. FTX stole from customers and used the fund to front run their own customer via Alameda research.

Most of FTX customers were outside US and are not US residents. US Dollars in this context holds no significance.

For the record, FTX.us was a registered broker.

Is there a way to implement matrix arithmetic with nice syntax (for instance, "A + B" to add two matrices A and B) in Gleam? The lack of ad-hoc polymorphism might paradoxically be a blessing.
You are being overly semantic. There is a monopoly and duopoly, and regardless of the number of companies involved, antitrust laws can be used to break up these businesses and prevent anti-competitive practices to encourage market growth.

The e-book pricing scandal is an example of antitrust activity against a number of companies forming a cartel. The US government isn't bringing this case under those laws, but effectively for lay person conversations, using monopoly where more technical terms like duopoly is okay

That, and then there's the fact that due to editions, modern Rust compilers can still compile older Rust code, which isn't always the case for other languages.

There's Python 3.10 code out there that won't run under 3.13, especially so if it relies on components written in C that use Python's C API. If you didn't have LTS releases for Python, you'd have a choice between constantly having to port your code to run under the latest Python version or using an older, insecure one.

Rust doesn't have this problem, old Rust code should compile just fine under newer versions of the compiler and stdlib.
Is it worth watching though?

I wouldn't mind if a documentary was an interview with just 1 person if it's good. The problem with those Netflix ones is they have a handful of people repeat the same thing over and over and over. Then they pad it out even further in between those repetitions with pan and zoom of a couple of barely relevant photos or newspaper clippings or illustrations, perhaps a clip of a news anchor reporting from the relevant time etc. What would be 30 seconds in a good documentary ends up being 5 minutes and 1 episode becomes 6.

That's very interesting, but what's the purpose of installing PS/2 ports on modern motherboards when no one uses them? It's a waste of money and materials and space, and just contributes to e-waste. I can see leaving them in equipment made for certain specialty/embedded applications, but not mainstream consumer equipment.

I also wonder how much power those "super I/O" chips are wasting with this unused circuitry.

And why is PS/2 internally used for touchpads anyway? Inertia? There's plenty of perfectly good serial protocols out there for these kinds of low-speed serial I/O applications, such as SPI.

FPV-drones can also be precise post-mortem. You record the flight as command-inputs in sim from start location.

Then you deploy the drone from some carrying vehicle, land and loiter, listening for a trigger. Trigger comes, the drone flies only gets a connection for a lineup if any and flies through the "line up" trajectory.
