This is not a popular opinion: way too many games journalists have lost all notion of objectivity because they want to change copyright policy, and I am sick to death of intentionally misleading articles like this. Here is just one snippet:

> In an odd footnote, the Register also notes that emulation of classic game consoles, while not infringing in its own right, has been "historically associated with piracy," thus "rais[ing] a potential concern" for any emulated remote access to library game catalogs. That footnote paradoxically cites Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) founder and director Frank Cifaldi's 2016 Game Developers Conference talk on the demonization of emulation and its importance to video game preservation.

> "The moment I became the Joker is when someone in charge of copyright law watched my GDC talk about how it's wrong to associate emulation with piracy and their takeaway was 'emulation is associated with piracy,'" Cifaldi quipped in a social media post.

The minor issue is that you shouldn’t focus on errors in footnotes for 300-page documents (Orland makes no attempt at an honest summary of the judges’ reasoning). But the critical flaw in this snippet that Cifaldi is himself acting in bad faith, because he mischaracterized his own talk:

> Because [we demonized emulation] I think two things happened. One is that old games became the domain of the pirates, so people started thinking of games the same way we were thinking of MP3s in the Napster days, where it’s just like “music’s free now, who cares?” And we also I think by not getting ahead of it and getting games back in print through emulation, I think for a lot of games it’s too late now, and the legal rights are just never going to get cleared up for a lot of games. [errors are mine, this is from YouTube]

Here Cifaldi clearly acknowledges that emulation is a powerful means of piracy that has done irreparable damage to the intellectual property rights of game developers. The reason the US Copyright office cited this talk was to point this out, that the publishers’ concerns were shared by a prominent games preservation activist. Faced with this information, the activist simply lied about his own words, and the journalist did zero investigative work on his own, shamelessly smearing an honest judge who wrote an honest footnote.

Good arguments don’t need to be supported by easily falsifiable lies. Games journalists need to do their f*ckin’ jobs.
Hardware-wise they undoubtedly are. That's not contested and it's easy to check and prove.

Software though? Not at all impressed. They still check every program you ever start and it's very noticeable by the performance.

Or they don't care about Intel Macs anymore, that's also a real possibility.
This is what I do too, then I can sit even further away. Feels good on the ole' eyeballs.

May I ask at what configuration? I'm assuming at least one is vertical because I can't think of a way to set 2 43" monitors horizontally without breaking my neck.
It doesn't seem likely that the military has a private model that is dramatically better. If we did, it would likely be exposed in a way similar to GPS.
I know it won’t look great, but what if you run the studio upside down or on its side.
On the other hand, compiler tricks like tail call optimization can e.g. reduce an O(n) algorithm to an O(1) algorithm. Is it a “different program” if the same source code is compiled with a new compiler?
Amazing tech! Well done Prisma team!
It means I have to remember to put it on charge before I leave the office, and I never do remember.

It stresses me out even trying to remember.

My current strategy is to set a calendar alarm at 6pm once a month to remind me to plug it in as I leave work that day. I'm hoping that works!

That I'm having to do that shows how bad a design it is.
Note that these are all 32" panels so the PPI is on the lower side of 4K monitors.

If you want pixel density first and speed second then you should go for a 27" 4K instead.
I think another mistake is people thinking metaverse = VR. Metaverse is a catch all term for the post-smartphone internet. Things like the RayBan glasses, Orion, that EMG wristband they showed at connect, etc. are all part of that.

Damn. She's in the category of people who were all over the place in my childhood, then disappeared and never aged in my memory, and suddenly she's nearly 80 and now dead. The cast list of Mom and Dad Save the World, a stupid as fuck movie that is one of the lowest rated on Rotten Tomatoes, but for whatever I reason I loved as a 12 year-old, is practically a who's who of these people. Jon Lovitz, Jeffrey Jones, Wallace Shawn. Jones got outed as a pedophile and is hopefully gone forever from public life, with Tim Burton pretty creatively writing his character's head out of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice so they could recast him. God knows what happened to the rest.

Apparently Teri Garr got MS in the late 90s (which is ultimately what killed her), significantly scaled back her work, then retired. She was in Ghost World? I don't even remember her in that.
Why is Source Address Validation still a problem?
The point of federation is that you don't need to get everyone to switch. If (when?) the original bluesky is enshittified, you just pick up and leave for a different server. You get to keep your handle, at least if you have gone to the trouble of creating one outside of the bsky.social domain. You can still follow and be followed by the same people as before, even if they stay behind or move to a third server. (This works even if you do change your handle.)
I hasten to admit that I am new to bluesky myself, and haven't absorbed all the technical details – to put it mildly. Take with a helping of salt.
Very cool! Would you share/describe which tools you are using to build the pipeline?
Bearing comparison to the troubles of our own times:

> A mood of crisis prevailed in the 1930s, one that some of Fitzgerald’s contemporaries, including John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway, struggled more openly to assimilate into their work. There was plenty of evidence that the country was coming apart. The 1932 Bonus Army occupation of Washington ended in a clash with two U.S. cavalry divisions. The Dust Bowl disaster created a mass migration to the West that came with its own politics of hard times. As late as 1938, U.S. unemployment stood at 19 percent.
A sure sign that someone doesn't know what they're doing is if they use 3 or more monitors for programming.

I made an app to help my lazy ass do even the tiniest bit everyday
https://consistent.fun/ . I have always been an extremely inconsistent person when it comes to building habits. I am sure most of us have read the book atomic habits(if you haven't i'd highly recommend it). It's amazing how small habits done each day can snowball into huge life changes. I made this app to help me visualise my micro habits in a colourful yet low pressure way. I don't want to feel anxiety when I open up a productivity app. At the end of the day I think productivity and self improvement boils down to just being consistent with doing a small bit everyday. Feel free to give it a try if you think this is something you'd be interested in. It's free to track up to 3 habits and its €2 per month if you want to track unlimited habits. Open to any feedback or suggestions. It was mainly designed for a desktop browser but should look decent on mobile browsers. I would make this entirely free but I gotta pay monthly costs for a database & digital ocean

> ChatGPT as an app is just so far ahead: code interpreter, web search/fetch, fluid voice interaction, Custom GPTs, image generation, and memory. It isn't close.

Funny thing, TypingMind was ahead of them for over a year, implementing those features on top of the API, without trying to mix business model with engineering[0]. It's only recently that ChatGPT webapp got more polished and streamlined, but TypingMind's been giving you all those features for every LLM that can handle it. So, if you're looking for ChatGPT-level frontend to Anthropic models, this is it.

ChatGPT shines on mobile[1] and I still keep my subscription for that reason. On desktop, I stick to TypingMind and being able to run the same plugins on GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, and if I need a new tool, I can make myself one in five minutes with passing knowledge of JavaScript[2]; no need to subscribe to some Gee Pee Tee.

Now, I know I sound like a shill, I'm not. I'm just a satisfied user with no affiliation to the app or the guy that made it. It's just that TypingMind did the bloodingly stupid obvious thing to do with the API and tool support (even before the latter was released), and continues to do the obvious things with it, and I'm completely confused as to why others don't, or why people find "GPTs" novel. They're not. They're a simple idea, wrapped in tons of marketing bullshit that makes it less useful and delayed its release by half a year.

[0] - "GPTs", seriously. That's not a feature, that's just system prompt and model config, put in an opaque box and distributed on a marketplace for no good reason.

[1] - Voice story has been better for a while, but that's a matter of integration - OpenAI putting together their own LLM and (unreleased) voice model in a mobile app, in a manner hardly possible with the API their offered, vs. TypingMind being a webapp that uses third party TTS and STT models via "bring your own API key" approach.

[2] - I made https://docs.typingmind.com/plugins/plugins-examples#db32cc6... long before you could do that stuff with ChatGPT app. It's literally as easy as it can possibly be: https://git.sr.ht/~temporal/typingmind-plugins/tree. In particular, this one is more representative - https://git.sr.ht/~temporal/typingmind-plugins/tree/master/i... - PlantUML one is also less than 10 lines of code, but on top of 1.5k lines of DEFLATE implementation in JS I plain copy-pasted from the interwebz because I cannot into JS modules.
I think monitors are like headphones. Unless you actually try the "better" ones, you don't have a clue what you're missing. I know because I had been saying "Dual 1080p 24" is all I will ever need." for a long time until I got a 4K 50". Now I can't imagine going back.

Ah no I think you need a watch. Or at least that’s what I use.
That's a core part of the problem: a path name is NOT just a unique identifier for a file. Desktop operating systems and their classical utilities conflate the "unique identifier" and whatever "displayed title" of a file though which the end user interacts with the file.

Users care about "titles" or "summaries" of files, not "filesystem identifiers"; as long as the two are conflated, non-technical users will use the identifier to write titles and thus make the file easy to locate in an interactive GUI. Meta tags are not even in the cognitive horizon of most people.
Dude. They're even on the React Native showcase page.

I don't know what to say but you're massively mistaken.

Uber use React Native too BTW. Lots of other big tech companies also, I don't know of any that use Flutter in a big way. Just some toe dipping

Sure, if they are used to macOS, this is a great option.

But I wouldn't recommend it to people who are not used to it.

It’s also hard to prove that a statement definitely lies in the “space of true statements”. Moreover, whether a proof assumes “A = B” or “B = C” can make them closer together or further apart in such a space depending on whether it is established that “A = C” or not, which also makes it tricky to establish rigorously.

Nobody's stopping you from segmenting one big monitor into different regions; and you get to choose how big those regions are from day to day rather than being forced into it.
What incentives lead companies to adopt heavyweight, vendor-specific platforms for core business functions... and then outsource all the operation and support of it?

I've seen this with a ton of Salesforce/adjacent platforms, and it's always confused me.

For something that critical, doesn't it make sense to have inhouse expertise?

I love this blog post.

“It can display seven equally spaced vertical columns of text (critical importance), has driver issues (minimal importance), wake issues (who cares), it costs as much as four smaller monitors (this is good), I need a huge desk (hell yeah), there are multiple image quality issues (well it’s not like I have to look at it all day)…”

It is like “I spent fifteen hundred dollars on a multitude of hassles due to purchasing the wrong type of display, but due to the lack of bezel this is a prime efficiency move “
I believe the discussion about text rendering is referring only to a line of very cheap TVs that do not in fact have RGB pixels. They have half RG and half GB. For "normal" video content, this is a surprisingly low quality drop. For high-contrast text it's total murder. You can see the stippling pattern as clear as day and it can easily render 8-10pt text literally illegible.

IT once accidentally bought such a TV and had it in a conference room. Took us a while to convince the relevant people that, yes, it is nominally working fine, it's not "broken" in the sense that it doesn't turn on or half the screen won't light up, but it was intolerable for Zoom screen shares.

But you need to be scraping the bottom of the barrel to end up with those screens. I doubt you could find something labelled a "monitor" that has that, and, well, if you're putting a $150 40" TV on to your computer... I mean... what did you expect?

(There are also low-end TVs that are still using some crappy LCD techs with bad viewing angles that may make them difficult to use up close, but I wouldn't call that a text rendering problem... those issues just wreck everything. I once had a laptop that when used on a lap, had zero viewing angles; if the vertical middle of the screen was correct, the top and bottom was extremely visibly color shifted. Even the cheapest store brand TVs don't seem to be that bad anymore, though.)
The Claude terms of service [1] apparently preclude Anthropic or AWS using GitHub user data for training:

GitHub Copilot uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet hosted on Amazon Web Services. When using Claude 3.5 Sonnet, prompts and metadata are sent to Amazon's Bedrock service, which makes the following data commitments: Amazon Bedrock doesn't store or log your prompts and completions. Amazon Bedrock doesn't use your prompts and completions to train any AWS models and doesn't distribute them to third parties.

No, you're not supposed to leave it in contact with your teeth for any period of time. If you do, you will start swallowing it. Swallowing it will cause stomach and cause other problems too.

The reason is that sodium fluoride which exists in toothpastes is associated with testicular and hormonal dysfunction in males - refer to PMID 30165274.
From complexity analysis we can adopt the concept of polynomial-time reducibility and might define a type of equivalence relation where two algorithms are equivalent only if both are pt-reducible to each other. Intuitively it’s not a sufficient condition for "sameness" – otherwise, for example, all NP-complete problems are the "same" and solvable with the "same" algorithm – but it’s arguably a necessary one.
I use a single ultrawide at home and dual-monitors at work.

Initially thought having one monitor experience was more seamless, but I do miss implicit window organizational aspect that dual monitors provide. And screensharing on the ultra-wide is a pain.
> Yes, with generally terrible results,

Really? This is like complaining about movies that use CGI -- you only complain when you can see it. When it's seamless, and often it is, you don't even notice or care.

Why stop at browser apps? All apps are terrible on all operating systems for all the same reasons.

This line of argument seems pretty subjective.
That's news to me, who's doing it right now on my imac m1.
Tail call optimization does not turn O(n) algorithms into O(1) algorithms unless you're talking about the space used and not the runtime.
Weird, as a sailor I find GFS to be highly accurate taking into account an understanding of what it does, what it does not do, and how to interpret it.

GFS does not account for sea/shore breeze for instance, so if you're in an area where that may occur, then you will have to apply your own judgement about the conditions.

Now, if you were to feed weather station readings into an ML model, would the ML model be better at predicting the weather? Well I think it'd be better at predicting the things that the weather model does not model in the locality of the weather station, sure.
B2B is kind of weird in advertising - you are still just selling to a person. So even Facebook advertising is used in b2b because targeting by job title/interest area is strong there.

IMO there isn’t much of an upper limit, as long as roas is decent the limit exists elsewhere (manufacturing, people, etc) and any gains in those areas means more advertising spend is viable.

It was Putin that invaded Ukraine.

Categorically disagree.

A much more fundamental error was made, in deciding to eat from Putin's hand in the first place (and to bank the country's energy security on that perceived benefit), despite everything we've known about the guy since 2000. That was something German politicians went and did, not an external circumstance that was forced on them.

That's the key point the troll farms are trying to distract everyone from.
You are being too literal -- I was providing an analogy, not an example.

Also:

> ... all theorems about a certain statement being true must be reducible to a single irreducible logical chain of argument.

Citation needed ... I have no reason to believe this is true.

But here's an example of two proofs.

Proving sqrt(2) is irrational.

Proof 1:
Every rational number has a finite Continued Fraction representation. But the normalised Continued Fraction representation of sqrt(2) is [1;2,2,2,...], which is infinite. Since this is infinite, sqrt(2) is irrational.

Proof 2:
Consider integers a and b, and suppose 2(b²)=a². Consider the prime decompositions of a and b, and count how many times "2" turns up on each side. It's odd on the left, it's even on the right, so this cannot happen. Therefore we can never have integers a and b with 2(b²)=a². Therefore we can't have 2=(a²)/(b²)=(a/b)². So any fraction when squared cannot equal 2, so sqrt(2) is irrational.

Do these really feel "the same" to you?

What's the logic here? "I haven't seen it so it doesn't exist?"

There are hundreds of available examples of it processing large numbers of files, and making correct changes across them. There are benchmarks with open datasets already linked in the thread [1]. It's trivial to find examples of it making much more complex changes than "one liners to parse or split strings".
