I didn’t check the game but killing people isn’t all equal, do you kill civilians in Black Ops 6, and do you kill civilians in the banned game? The better comparison would be COD MW2 (with the famous „no Russian“ mission), which was controversial for exactly this reason.
This is not (really) true. Well there's an element of truth in it, but only an element.

European philosophy was not really Aristotelian until the re-arrival of his work in the 12C, so it's hardly fair to 'blame' him for the lack of scientific development that period. When it did arrive, it was extremely controversial, and it took the genius of Aquinas (and even then, only just) for Aristotle to be accepted in Christian thought.

In the 17C, there was a much greater interest in quantitative methods than there had been previously. And some of his physics was obviously found to be wrong. But there was no discovery (and remains no discovery) that falsified broad swathes of his work. The change of interest and focus was far more important in the progress of what we now call science than the supposed rejection of Aristotle.

This is described in E.A. Burtt's Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Science.

Pre-modern people were far more interested in living a morally good life (a happy life, in the Aristotelian sense of the word) than they were in controlling nature. That changed in the 17C.

This is the description I lifted from steam: "Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque is a Third Person Action Game on which you play as Ahmad al-Falastini, a young Palestinian Student who was unjustly tortured and jailed by Israeli Soldiers for 5 years, had all his family killed by an Israeli Airstrike and now, after getting out from the prison, seeks revenge against those who wronged him, killed his family and stolen his homeland, by joining a new Palestinian Resistance Movement called Fursan al-Aqsa: The Knights of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

This game is greatly inspired by Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Insurgency Sandstorm, Max Payne and Goldeneye 007."
For those who aren't familiar, poor first layer adhesion to the print surface is one of the most common causes of print failure in 3D printing. Typically you want a very clean build surface made of an appropriate material, and sometimes covered in glue stick or hairspray.

I can imagine they went through a lot of false starts with this.
I think the paper was probably done honestly, but also very poorly. They claimed synthesis of 36 new materials. When reviewed, for 24/36 "the predicted structure has ordered cations but there is no evidence for order, and a known, disordered version of the compound exists". In fact, with other errors, 36/36 claims were doubtful. This reflects badly for authors and worse for peer review process of Nature.

>Both are fucking tasteless and morally questionable.

A game has to be fun, not tasteful or moral. But I doubt that the gameplay is good. Political people making a statement suck at producing good art.
The difference between this and CoD is that the government supports, advises, and might even invest in CoD. It's the right kind of killing.
Mostly I agree, but I would add:

> AI wiping out writing stories

FWIW, I think LLMs make better stories than quite a lot of the human writers on Reddit.

Not that many of the Redditors were ever going to go on to be successful novelists of course (and I say that as someone who is struggling to finish writing this darn book for the best part of a decade now…)
I've seen left handed people tilt the paper 90° and write more or less downwards. Their writing looked fine.
Good point - the dictionary attack produces some permutations that are too long, but it doesn't matter because you get the effect as soon as the final character of the correct code is entered.

Something sounds odd. If points are very close, they have high spacial frequency. If I reject points that are too close, I'm excluding high-frequency points and keeping only low-frequency ones. A distribution that favor lower frequencies and filters out higher ones is red, not blue. Am I getting it wrong?
>which was controversial for exactly this reason

Only among stupid people. Most gamers yawned in boredom.
My SO is left handed, and here’s her trick: slant the paper.

If you write with the same positioning we teach to right handers, the hand hides the writing, and if you use a fountain pen you just smear the writing before it has a chance to dry. So don’t: slant the paper, like 45 degrees counter clockwise, and position your hand above the line you’re writing. Somewhat. I’m not the leftie, I’m working from memory here.

The key idea is to keep the text visible, and keep the writing position relatively comfortable. Then it’s just down to training. Target a specific style, draw individual letters… write stuff while concentrating on the writing, not whatever you need the writing for (you can’t really practice and take notes for instance).

Mostly boring advice, that apart from slanting the paper probably applies to everyone. (Note: I also have terrible hand writing, grain of salt and all that.)
"I think we can probably make do without a game that glorifies the 7th of October massacre. Or any as a matter of fact."

The developer of the game is complaining about a double standard. Given the fact that we have shooter games glorifying some abhorrent us activities, and we are okay with that, we do have a double standard. We could discuss for ages whether it's wrong or right, but we can't hide behind "oh no it's a terrible thing" because we have been representing terrible things since decades, but this time apparently it's bad because it's not our faction doing the funny (it's not so funny anymore, isn't it?)

What makes you say TPU has zero chance against growing NVIDIA?

If anything, now is the best time for TPU to grow and I'd say investing in TPU gave Google an edge. There is no other large scale LLM that was trained on anything but NVIDIA GPUs. Gemini is the only exception. Every big company is scrambling to make their own hardware in the AI era while Google already has it.

Everyone I know who worked with TPUs loves how well they scale. Sure Jax has a learning curve but it's not a problem, especially given the performance advantages it gives.

While mutation of init-only properties is sometimes done by e.g. serializers through private reflection or unsafe accessors, it otherwise can lead to unsound behavior if class implementation does not expect this. You cannot bypass this through normal language means.

Same applies to readonly instance fields.

Where does "syntax sugar" end and "true features" begin?
I'm definitely a fan of LiveView and Turbo. I think they present reasonable choices for applications that are more complicated than a static site and less complicated than a full application. I would like to see their interop story with React improve, however, since I think a lot of impetus towards React comes from the fact that the core business product, which has high application/interactivity requirements, is (understandably) in React, so the cost of build is significantly lower staying within the ecosystem.

This is actually something I think a lot about, because in my company I am the TL of all the setting pages. We don't have high interactivity requirements, and it's reasonable to explore a different path. But the core product is in React, and there's basically no justification to rebuild it in something else just to build out settings pages.

You only ever have one quarterback playing for a team at once. no matter how successful the team becomes. presumably with a company, you are constantly growing and should need to grow your talent pool constantly.

I can't imagine this working that well on a cold floor either.
Sorry, which question did I miss?
> if I'm not patient, friendly, magnanimous, courageous, charitable, ambitious, truthful, etc, am I really an inferior or less worthy person?

Not in your essence. All people are equal in their essence. But it's better to be a person who's truthful than a person who constantly lies. So in that sense, a truthful person is better than a liar.

Anyway, the beauty is that anyone can attain these virtues. It's very, very hard work, but even the pursuit brings very great joy.

(Being 'ambitious' is not a virtue, btw :-) )
I credit the BASIC and machine language byte code type-in programs for reinforcing my attention to detail and being able to track down software problems.

I agree that they recognized the fundamental problem but I have different speculation as to what the problem is: the problem must be it's technologically too boring and obviously not profitable to them.

It's culmination of decades of NLP researches, but it's also just East Asian predictive text percussively adapted for variable word length language. It must've been clear to whoever core people that it's fundamentally a sluggish demo or at most a cheap outright-sold commodity product.

IMO they would be right unless someone finds a reason that LLMs can't ever be self hosted in the way Google Search can't be. They must have just saw by the way it is that LLM is at best a regularization engine for that magic box.
They have even cooler capabilities - A single XCOFF library can act as both shared and static libraries
> Determining which option is more cost-effective requires a thorough TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) analysis. While Hetzner may seem cheaper upfront, the additional hours required for DevOps work can offset those savings.

Sure, but the TLDR is going to be that if you employ n or more sysadmins, the cost savings will dominate. With 2 < n < 7. So for a given company size, Hetzner will start being cheaper at some point, and it will become more extreme the bigger you go.

Second if you have a "big" cost, whatever it is, bandwidth, disk space (essentially anything but compute), cost savings will dominate faster.

Depends if you're really stuck on a problem. I'd rather learn by getting a look at how it's done, even if the code is incorrect, than be completely suck with no idea why or what to do.
For example, btrfs doesn't really do offline fsck. fsck.btrfs has a
zero percent chance of destroying your volume because it does nothing.

fsck.btrfs does indeed do nothing, but that's not the tool they were complaining about. From the btrfs-check(8) manpage:

Warning

Do not use --repair unless you are advised to do so by a
developer or an experienced user, and then only after having
accepted that no fsck can successfully repair all types of
filesystem corruption. E.g. some other software or hardware
bugs can fatally damage a volume.

[...]

DANGEROUS OPTIONS

--repair
enable the repair mode and attempt to fix problems where possible

Note there’s a warning and 10 second delay when this option is
run without --force to give users a chance to think twice
before running repair, the warnings in documentation have
shown to be insufficient
this is good

well, running on bare metal would be even better
There are no 3 leg transactions in a ledger. You described an order. Ledger transactions is one layer deeper. Order creates 2 different transactions: Payment correspond to payments accounts, taxes to the Taxes Payable. That is how classic bookkeeping works.
I think the other thing is the Object Data Manager (ODM)- configuration data about devices, networking configuration, etc. is stored as objects, as opposed (or in addition to?) to text files.

I also believe the AIX software package manager uses ODM.

I didn’t say anything about not writing code yourself. Sometimes that is the best choice. KISS to me means simplicity and less moving parts. If you have to hire a large team to support your data flow, I would argue you are doing KISS wrong.

While an interesting perspective, this HN article is a poster child for how not to resurrect old blog posts.

Initially, I was not sure how much credibility to give this because there were no corroborating records for the time period specified.

All the important identifiers to corroborate were largely removed or missing, yet another sign we are one step closer to living in a world of Neil Stephenson's Anathem.

The blog claims to be from 2014, but it most definitely is not archived at that time period for the article linked.

IA shows it first showed up in 2023. There is no reference link from a prior domain where it might have previously been archived.

While the events referenced did occur sometime between 2002, and Sharlene P. Abrams resigned in 2006, and accepted a guilty plea agreement later. All that indicates this (without having her name) were similar news articles with dead links (but description summary cache ironically still somewhat intact), which were not archived, and there is only one surviving article around 2016 from a journalist, William Alden, that I then tracked back across domains to the link below that was actually archived and corroborating on the dealbook link.

Aside from this there was very little record this post actually existed at that time.

In practice, a single corroborating document is insufficient to establish the truth of events.

Additionally, why change the name of the guilty? The indictments are a matter of public record, and Options backdating was clearly breaking the law at that time.

For those that wanted to dig into this further, you can find more information under the press releases made at the time, which are archived at the following locations. They were a real pain to find, and originate from the sole surviving corroborating article by Alden, a single trail of bread crumbs.

Creator here - glad to see people like markwhen!

Been working on markwhen for a few years now, originally inspired by cheeaun's life timeline that another commenter posted about.

At this point markwhen is available as a VS Code extension, Obsidian plugin, CLI tool, and web editor in Meridiem.

Some recent markwhen developments:

- Dial, a fork of bolt.new (Stackblitz's very cool tool that leverages AI to help quickly scaffold web projects): an in-browser editor that lets you edit existing markwhen visualizations like the timeline or calendar or make your own. I just released that yesterday so it's still rough but I have big plans for it (it's one of the visualizations in meridiem)

- Event properties: each entry can have it's own "frontmatter" in the form of `key: value` pairs. I wanted this as I'm aiming for more iCal interoperability in the future, so each event could theoretically have things like "attendees" or google calendar ids or other metadata. This was released in the last month or two.

- remark.ing: this one isn't ready yet by any means but it's like a twitter/bluesky/mastodon-esque aggregated blog site. So you write markwhen and each entry is a post. In this way "scheduling" a post is just writing a future date next to it, and you have all your blog in one file. This one is a major WIP

> Most humans are not that good at reasoning themselves and fall for the same kind of fallacies over and over because of the way they were brought up

Disagree that it's easy to pin on "how they were brought up". It seems very likely that we may learn that the flaws are part of what makes our intelligence "work" and be adaptive to changing environments. It may be favourable in terms of cultural evolution for parents to indoctrinate flawed logic, not unlike how replication errors are part of how evolution can and must work.

In other words: I'm not sure these "failures" of the models are actual failures (in the sense of being non-adaptive and important to the evolutionary processes of intelligence), and further, it is perhaps us humans that are "failing" by over-indexing on "reason" as explanation for how we arrived here and continue to persist in time ;)
I agree at a gut / instinct level with that thought.

SINGLE thread best and worst case have to be the same to avoid speculation...

However for threads from completely unrelated domains could be run instead, if ready. Most likely the 'next' thread on the same unit, and worry about repacking free slots the next time the schedule runs.

++ Added ++

It might be possible to have operations that don't cross security boundaries have different performance as operations within a program's space.

An 'enhanced' level of protection for threads running a VM like guest code segment (such as browsers) might also be offered that avoids higher speculation operations.

Any operation similar to a segmentation fault relative to that thread's allowed memory accesses could result in forfeit of it's timeslice. Which would only leak what it should already know anyway, what memory it's allowed to access. Not the content of other memory segments.
I actually made somewhat of an effort this time, made sure I was awake in good coding shape when the problem was released. Had a scaffold set up for running the code based on previous years. And I'm a pretty decent all-round coder, should be by now.

Ended up at around spot 6500.

Boggles my mind to even imagine what it would take.
The idea itself is kinda simple, but kinda hard, because it relies on how the language we use, gives us away.

For example, references we put ( simpsons, star trek, you name it ), language we use ( gee whiz, yeet, gyatt) and that is used to generate an online persona tends to be something of note to our image of self - one can determine to some extent the likely generation from those

The reference itself may not automatically mean much, but it is likely that if it is present in an alias, it had an impact on a younger person ( how many of the new generation jump on an old show? so mr robot would have the exposure range of 2015 to 2019 ). If that hypothesis is true, then one can attempt to guess age if the individual given that work work, because 1) we know what year is now 2) we know when it was made, which allows for some minor inference there.

Naturally, some aliases are more elaborate than others. Some are written backwards and/or reference a popular show or popular sci-fi author. Some are anagrams ( and - I discovered today - require additional datasets to tag properly so that is another thing I will need to dig up from somewhere ). And to complicate things further, some aliases use references that are ambiguous and/or belong in more than one category ( Tesla being one of them ).

The original approach was to just throw everything into LLM and see what it comes up with, but the results were somewhat uneven so I decided to start from scratch and do normal analysis ( language, references, how digits are used and so on - it is still amazing how well that one seems to work ).

Sadly, it is still a work in progress ( I was hoping for a quick project, but I am kinda getting into it ) and I probably won't touch until next weekend since the coming week promises to be challenging.

Unfortunately, this means in your particular alias ended up as:

Alias category is_random length is_anagram generic_signal
Loughla Mixed Case 0 7 FALSE FALSE

( remaining fields were empty, basically couldn't put a finger on you:D). If you can provide me with an approximate age, it would help with my testing though:D

edit: This being HN. Vast majority of references are technology related.

I think practically a lot more things are in the public domain because they were distributed via the internet to certain countries that until recently had a much lower bar than the Berne Convention standard and entered the public domain there.

Edit: or had at least one person make at least one copy there. If the law allowed everyone to make one copy for private use.

Or perhaps I’m misunderstanding ?

e.g. Ethiopia which only shifted to a quasi Berne standard midway through 2004.
I am not a rails dev but have looked into it for some side projects that I am considering.

IMO, I think it hits an excellent balance between rolling-your-own framework and no-framework-low-code. Rails itself handles so much configuration and wiring up so you that most of the code you do have to write is business logic.

Lambda functions and firebase are convenient and compelling but come with their own tradeoffs that are not as well-tested in the real world compared to rails.
Goes up and down for me, some I enjoy a lot, some are mostly painful details to get right.
IMO, both.

There's a lot of stuff that LLMs can do for me that Google never could, like synthesise a new python script to solve some idea I want to iterate on.

But also, Google results nose-dived and only recently seemed to get less bad… though now it seems to be the turn of the YouTube home page to be 60 items of which 45 are bad, 14 are in my watch later list already, and only 1 is both new to me and interesting.
