Same. And another issue with games is that every game is so long. Games like Tomb Raider used to be 10 hours. Now such games are more than 20 hours. It is a bigger commitment even if you like the game.

That’s why I prefer to buy older games that have received enough reviews from regular people.

Jammers are only illegal in the civilian legal context. I'm not aware of anything that makes jammers inherently illegal by broader law of armed conflict. Necessity and proportionality comes into play. Targeted jamming of military communications would certainly be allowed. Jamming of dual-use satellites becomes more nuanced.

On January 18 2012, Wikipedia went black to draw attention to SOPA [0], a bill they described as one that "could fatally damage the free and open Internet".

Since then, we've seen a slow and steady march in the direction we all dreaded. Country after country has decided that they have the right to block content on the "free and open Internet", and business after business (even those who joined the SOPA protests) has complied. Someone looking ahead from 2012 would barely recognize the internet today as being the same thing, the way we just roll over to the threats that used to cause global outrage and defiance.

Were we naive even at the time? Have governments become more authoritarian? Or has our energy for resistance just been slowly whittled away?

I don’t buy this fatalistic attitude at all. Japan has an abundance of food as well, and Japanese humans are also human. Yet I don’t see nearly the same level of obesity here. The difference is entirely cultural, and yet you argue that we poor humans are destined to overeat. It’s not like the poor Japanese are suffering not to overeat every day of their tragic lives.

Instead the same measures that work here work in western countries as well. Free food at schools in the US and Europe has led to less obesity. Teaching cooking at school has led to less obesity. Teaching appreciation of the own physical self as a gift that one is responsible for rather than a burden has led to less obesity.

None of this requires throwing even more money at pharma to balance out the out-of-control American food industry (originating from the unscrupulous tobacco industry) which pays pharma to create more addictive foods. And yes, our bodies did not evolve to handle those ultra-processed foods laden with additives, but that is not normal food! Look up how the American food industry wreaked havoc in Latin America, leading to insane rates of obesity in mere years.

Is it censorship when your boss forbids you publishing your personal opinion as the official position of his company?

It's funny reading the comments here but has anyone considered that Bezos may in fact support Trump? Bezos is a billionaire and Harris seeks to target them to fix the deficit.

Its just possible Bezos supports Trump and it makes economic sense too, though its terribly unfashionable to come out and say such a thing.

I'm long used to it: But as a JRPG fan, it's always intriguing going to general gaming discourse and seeing complaints of stuff like ads/lootboxes/mtx in single player games. Just really shows how stark the western gaming sphere shifted.

Japanese games feel just like the 2010's but slightly better graphics. They leave all that stuff to the mobile scene, but console games have about the same expectations when you hear "single player game". Unless you are addicted to buying skin DLC, there's not much add-ons to buy once a game is out. If these current western sentiments are a detractor, I'd start looking more into where a game is made in addition to all other research.

Korea (which is where Stellar Blade was made) and China (Black Myth Wukong) are entirely different stories, but similar outcomes. Let's just say they are rediscovering console/PC gaming and they are starting off from the 2000's model, not the 2020's western model.

Why is following other countries' laws viewed as "abandoning all principles"?

It seems to be intentional. (I was confused by this at first, too). If your starting grid contains, e.g., a dot, you can safely assume it's a one-ship. But if you add a ship, the initial state is a block that resolves to a dot or end as appropriate when you complete it.
I'm not an expert, either, but I've poked at this a little. From what I've seen, token logprobs are correlated enough with correctness of the answer to serve as a useful signal at scale, but it's a weak enough correlation that it probably isn't great for evaluating any single output.

My best guess is that somewhere close to the root of the problem is that language models still don't really distinguish syntagmatic and paradigmatic relationships. The examples in this article are a little bit forced in that respect because the alternatives it shows in the illustrations are all paradigmatic alternatives but roughly equivalent from a syntax perspective.

This might relate to why, within a given GPT model generation, the earlier versions with more parameters tend to be more prone to hallucination than the newer, smaller, more distilled ones. At least for the old non-context-aware language models (the last time I really spent any serious time digging deep into language models), it was definitely the case that models with more parameters would tend to latch onto syntagmatic information so firmly that it could kind of "overwhelm" the fidelity of representation of semantics. Kind of like a special case of overfitting just for language models.
Once students graduate, the jobs they most ardently desire are in what they proudly call the “sellout” fields of finance, consulting and tech. ...

Absolute garbage. If this professor wants to create a self-perpetuating cycle of aggrieved failure, encouraging students to not do work is certainly the way.

AIUI it's not an investigation about whether tether has the USDT or not but an investigation as to whether or not allowed customers to launder dirty money.

Tether is in a country that has a long history of doing monkey business, including monkey business with drug trafficking money and arms trafficking money. Even the CIA was tied to that monkey business.

To me there's zero doubt there's actual money laundering ongoing and I really wouldn't be surprised if, once again, some three letter agencies were implicated in monkey bahamian business.

Why would they want to appear neutral? All news reporting, no matter what, is inherently biased in some way. There isn’t some “ideal” where that isn’t the case. There can’t be some magical font of unbiased information because just selecting what stories to put on the front page introduces bias.

News can’t be unbiased and being unbiased was never a goal. News is meant to inform, which includes facts as well as analysis. That seemingly the average American doesn’t understand that is a failure of the education system.
"reducing achievement gaps between demographic group" come on now. As long as budgets aren't being cut for normal or extra class for struggling students in order to have advance classes this is bad policy.

The article also sites that those that want to take Calc as seniors would need to double up or take summer classes. This means that if you're gifted you also need to have parents that can support summer school. When in reality kids should have summers to be kids.

I took Calc 2 junior year of High School, the class size was maybe 6 people. Graduating class was 100~.

Gifted kids with parents of means will just hire tutors or elect to do college classes sooner.

of course it is. endorsements by major entities such as major newspapers… endorsements by celebrities and all these other points form the constellation of how a candidate is perceived. a huge chunk of people will not just vote blindly for whoever seems to be more broadly supported but actually deeply like whoever is put in front of them. and they will also believe it if a bunch of newspapers release the same story at the same time… even if there is no evidence offered to support the main assertion. or even if its obviously false. creation of the appearance of a consensus is an extremely powerful tool

maybe biased opinions should be entirely separate from journalistic enterprises if those journalists want a single shred of credibility. people are mad at trump supporters and anti covid and anti vax stuff, and while i agree that's all stupid, i don't blame them at all for falling for it because main stream corporate journalism has destroyed any and all trust with absolutely everyone. maybe if we weren't constantly being lied to and sold something, more people would believe them when they say important things like "trump is taking away reproductive rights" and "covid exists and people are dying"
There's definitely tiers of copyright to consider, which is part of the divisiveness on the issue. You wanting to protect your creation and get compensated for its IP for 10-20 years (so, a good portion of your life career) is very different from Disney wanting to delay Mickey mouse going into public domain. an IP its creator and studio already reaped trillions from over the century.

I’m more annoyed by the sheer amount of effort and time we’re spending now as a society to rationalise the AI bullshit and argue against it.

Does anyone else thinks this is actually a great incidental marketing campaign for McDonald's? Not only the free reach but also tons of people discussing the "problems" with a big co and how to "fix" them as they are an essential part of society, and this case ice-creams.

Sure we focus on the big brain things like copyright, business malpractice and MBA lore but with it comes McDonald's embedded.

I know this might sound a bit snobby, but just don't play the game, ignore them. If there is criminal activity let who gets paid deal with it, otherwise just move on and stop "fixing" problems that are not of your concern, let alone "fixing" them for free.
> The entire underlying layer of possible misconfigurations is absent in the cloud.

This is true.

Let's not forget there is a whole new, quite different, layer of potential (and easy) misconfigurations that exist only in the cloud, so it balances out.

When you can accidentally expose services with a single mouse click where it used to take someone with access to the server room going in and grabbing a cable and wiring it wrong, this category of problem is a lot more common now.
The polls show Harris and Trump are neck and neck, but the only explanation for a Harris win is fraud?
No one should have to. If we're talking about putting/maintaining restrictions on people, the onus should be on the proponents to put forth a good argument why we need it.
That's a fair point. But in this case it wasn't a principled stand against the idea of opinion journalism[1]. It was an act to kill an in-progress editorial piece days before publication, for quite clearly partisan reasons (though most people believe Bezos did it out of fear and not affinity, he'd presumably prefer Trump loses, but doesn't want to be in the line of fire if he doesn't).

[1] Which, let's be honest, is pervasive and popular. You aren't simultaneously arguing to kick Hannity off the air, right?
A journalist's job is to journal something, nothing more and nothing less.

If a purported journalist wants to influence or otherwise lead his audience somewhere, he is many things (commentator, advocate, activist, influencer, etc.) but he is not a journalist.
He'd care about getting government contracts. For example, during the Trump administration the Pentagon chose Microsoft over AWS for JEDI. AWS claimed there was political interference that favoured MS.

Obviously Bezos will be rich with or without these contracts, but he'd prefer to be richer.

> Streaming data isn't static like tables in databases—it's unbounded, constantly updating, and poses significant challenges in managing state.

I don't really see the difference between tables & streams. Data in tables changes over time too. You can model a stream as a table with any degree of fidelity you desire. In fact, I believe this could be considered a common approach for implementing streaming abstractions.
I think there's arguments either way, but I also think as a certain point there is an obligation to point out that Trump is basically an anti American who probably takes more notice of a roll of toilet paper than the constitution. I'd argue that maybe it would behoove an institution of trust to make an endorsement only rarely, but it's also long been part of the means of public discourse for papers to put out opinions and endorsements.

More so than that question, I think it's more obvious to ask "if you're going to have that argument, is the year Trump, the nation destroying clown, is running, the year to suddenly make a change after something like > 3 decades? Especially when it seems like your owner might be making the change because he wants to curry favor for contracts?"

It's a pretty pathetic look, but I don't particularly expect any civic virtue from Bezos, so not shocked.

No doubt this will be portrayed as Bezos reigning in "Democrat" conspiracies and used to normalize Trump by the denizens of that delusional universe.
Well, it might have been true until now. Certainly there's no previous good evidence for Bezos-directed coverage or editing at the Post.

But regardless: you were right. I was one of the folks who viewed him as a basically benign entity who, sure, had opinions of his own, but clearly would never put his fingers on the editorial scale. And I was wrong, and he isn't.
it's all disagree and commit until the big boss comes and says to "just commit". didn't success and scale bring responsibility ?

i guess Bezos can bend the leadership principles back and forth the way it best fits his current needs.

This seems like a very one-sided take. Just look at all the artists (actors, painters, musicians, etc.) that are fighting tooth and nail against AI, and for good reason. While there are plenty of issues with copyright, I don't agree at all that just because the marginal cost of copying is 0 that if someone puts a ton of time and effort in creating a piece of work that I should just get to copy it for free.
Pretending there exists “unbiased” journalism is silly. All journalism is biased to some degree. The worthwhile categorization is to what degree the bias exists.
I'm fine going back to the old 14+14 rules copyright originally. having your creation for an entire generation seems appropriate. But opinions are all across the spectrum on this issue.

I think the primary reason the "spirit" of current copyright broke down is because it's been reduced to hoarding over protecting. the idea is that I can license out an idea if I really want to make use of it. So creations flow and the company makes their own cut out of it.

But I can't just walk up to Disney and pay 100 dollars ,1000, maybe even 1 million to grab Mickey Mouse and work with something. Depending on their products, they may not want anyone using Mickey period, even if there is no mickey product cycle. You basically need to be EA or Mattel or Warner Bros. to even begin being considered for such a thing.

That's their right but it spoils the social contract. When everything by default is locked down, there is no creation flowing. Just broken dreams for abandoned franchises everyone else would love to make use of.
