I encourage anyone to read the (surprisingly plain-english) first few pages of the decision, but here is the gist of it:

> In January 2024, the court issued a post-trial opinion finding that the award was subject to review under the entire fairness standard [...] the defendants bore the burden of proving entire fairness, they failed to meet their burden, and the plaintiff is entitled to rescission. [...] The defendants responded by putting the rescinded compensation plan [...] to a stockholder vote for the stated purpose of 'ratifying' it. [...] The defendants then moved to 'revise' the post-trial opinion based on the stockholder vote, asking the court to flip its decision.

> The motion to revise is denied. [...] The large and talented group of defense firms got creative with the ratification argument, but their unprecedented theories go against multiple strains of settled law. [...] First, the defendants have no procedural ground for flipping the outcome of an adverse post-trial decision based on evidence they created after trial. [...] Second, common-law ratification [...] cannot be raised for the first time after the post-trial opinion. [...] Third, [...] a stockholder vote standing alone cannot ratify a conflicted-controller transaction. Fourth, [...] material misstatements in the proxy statement [defeat the ratification]. Each of these defects standing alone defeats the motion to revise.

> The fee petition is granted in part. The plaintiff’s attorneys asked for $5.6 billion in freely tradeable Tesla shares. [...] That was a bold ask. [...] Delaware courts award fees based on a percentage of the value of the benefit achieved [...] yet [...] a fee award 'can be so large that typical yardsticks [...] must yield to the greater policy concern of preventing windfalls to counsel.' [...] $5.6 billion is a windfall no matter the methodology used. [...] To reach a reasonable number, this decision [...] uses the $2.3 billion grant date fair value to value the benefit achieved. [...] Applying a conservative 15% to that figure results in a fee award of $345 million—an appropriate sum to reward a total victory.
Product of instructions is just product. Sometimes it may be software, sometimes it may be graphics, sometimes it may be both (graphical programming languages, they exist).

Well, yes. Thing happening due to execution of instructions is typically[1] not those instructions.

> Or as another commenter said, the runtime execution?

Software is a list of instructions. Runtime execution is a process (of executing those instructions). What do you mean by your comment?

I don't understand the confusion, practically everything we interact with in our daily lives is regulated and goes through certification processes, just look at how all that is done.

Food, drugs, healthcare, consumer products, chemicals, cars, planes, trains, buildings, utilities, energy, infrastructure, salaries, loans, investments, accounting... Even media requires some licenses, receives age ratings, and has restrictions on advertising.

It's not rocket science, this is normal for every single other industry.

What you're saying doesn't make sense.

If you run a cafe, and one customer orders an espresso and the other orders a latte, are you not allowed to charge them differently?

Buying milk to make lattes is also a cost of doing business, but it's a cost that is only driven by people who buy lattes, so you pass the cost of milk on to latte buying customers and not espresso buying ones, right?

Credit cards are the same as milk here, only people using them cost you money.

Should all foods and drinks in a restaurant cost the same because otherwise you're passing on the cost of buying ingredients and staff labor, i.e. "the cost of doing business" on to customers unevenly?
Not to mention the challenges of mass production and quality control on a budget.
The distinctions are important, would not consider it a minor nitpick. :P
What's not a matter of opinion is low adherence rates; doctors regularly struggle to get patients take their medication consistently and on time.

I went into this article with a lot of skepticism, but the author has some excellent points. Here's one, as an example.

On dealing with people (in his case, artists): "if...someone isn't measuring up, I have no idea how to convince them to do so. So I look for people [who do]." I.e., don't waste your time on people who are "demanding or confused or slow at answering their email".

Lots of other interesting points!

A magazine-like layout on a RSS reader, useful?
I have been using RSS for well over 10 years now, and I always missed some better looking reader, with a smarter way to showcase items, maybe having a separate view that looks more like a "magazine" or a news website.

Is that something you guys miss, or would like?
That is a valid constraint. For us we don’t really mind if it emits anything sensitive we are more concerned that it is correct.

>How do you turn "you are coming at this from the wrong angle and that's causing problems" into praise?

By eliminating those judgement words "wrong" and "problem," of course. ;-)

A more positive-focused process might be, "that's an interesting perspective, and here's a generalization that might unlock new avenues for thinking further."

Anyway, see my edit above where I offer an elaboration on your (IMO excellent) observation.

I disagree, if anything it's the opposite and "we made new program X in-response-to existing process Y" is downright meek.

It never suggests that anyone is capable of fully replicating or even understanding Y, nor does it say X is even good enough to partially replace it... it's simply why they started a project.
Sounds like you got a real Vietnamese coffee. All kidding aside, my experience drinking coffee here (Vietnam) is that most of the coffee shops have bad coffee. I am not sure if it's the beans, the machines or the culture. There is, maybe, 1 in 7 coffeeshop that will do the coffee kinda okay. I don't think the locals care too much (basing on google reviews).

Either way, I'll take this over any other SEA or Asian country where it's a hassle to find coffee outside metro hotspots. Cafes and Coffee here is available everywhere and usually within a 30 seconds walk.
> The actual issue is the lack of housing

That is a really incomplete analysis. Part of the complaint is that housing is available, but the cartel withholds rental units from the market in order to maximize profits.

Like, if 10,000 new residences have been built then the most profitable thing might be to buy them all up and keep them empty.

> if RealPage sets the price too high

By definition, 'too high' is when there's a problem.

> The basic money formula for a rental unit is occupancy * rental price.

That is too basic. You omitted elasticity. Rental price is a function of overall demand, which in turn is based on regional occupancy. Collusion to reduce regional occupancy can artificially increase demand, and therefore the rental price, giving an overall higher profit than true competition.

> if all the landlords

100% is a pointless number. There will always be someone who, for example, rents out a place to a relative at below market rates, so 100% will never be met.

The lysine cartel did not control 100% of the lysine market.
The solution to that (only for some) is for business itself to be your passion / hobby / what you enjoy doing.
From the same forum:

> the official Linux kernel is more based on SoC vendor's BSP (Board Support Package) that can utilise full SoC features. And Hardkernel is able to consult with Rockchip in case we found missing SoC features only when the issue is discovered in their BSP, otherwise it's very hard. Therefore, we are managing the Linux kernel with most similar OS with the version from Rockchip, even Ubuntu 20.04 is not from Rockchip.

That "fabs will report to me" should be a tell that there is a lot of internal opposition...

Worse (for Intel) what can happen is Intel HP-isation - splits and sells.

But there is a lot of good news for them in cpu world: another B's granted, military buys Intel, new no-HT arch. And 80 bit memories like in Multics, can be true virtualisation on x86.

Even if x86 is dead Intel still have fabs - AMD can soon print in them :)

But that multigeneration refreshes are still a mistery - is it Intel's problem or maybe something else eg. simply someone have a some patent ? :>

Can you buy the primers personally for a few selected regions of great variability, do the extraction and PCR, and pay for sending it off for sequencing personally?

Faking NUMA can help enforcing access patterns that make things faster:

> In the worst case, two sdram clients accessing different pages of the same bank, may cause repeated closing and opening of the pages, harming the usable bandwidth you can achieve.
Which pages belong to a bank depends on the physical address lines of the buffers used. We have found that it is pretty common for buffers to be allocated in pathologically bad ways.

> NUMA allows us to have more control over this. We can split our sdram, into, say, 8 NUMA regions, and configure the kernel to interleave the allocations between the regions.
In addition the sdram controller allows the address bits used for segmenting the banks to be reconfigured (which we've exposed through eeprom config SDRAM_BANKLOW).

For most games you _don't_ study a manual for hours. Of course there are some crazy epic games for really hardcore gamers, but rule books for mid-weight game tend to take 5-15 minutes to read through and then you're ready to play, and a lot of people enjoy that time - familiarising yourself with something new, trying to understand what makes it tick. I personally find it an enjoyable ritual. Depending on the quality of the rules / complexity of the game, the first play through might be a bit ropey, but it's usually fine, and after that you're left with something that you can get hours and hours of fun from. Board games are awesome

I go through phases. I hated ChatGPT for a while. But recently I’ve started using chatGPT to help me with my cooking.

I’m in the process of making my own cookbook full of AI generated recipes. The cheese sauce I made the other day based on a recipe ChatGPT generated for me was phenomenal. ChatGPT also helped me to make a really good cheesecake.

I’ve bonded with ChatGPT over cooking which is a pretty amazing thing because prior to chatGPT becoming my cooking companion I hated cooking and didn’t really cook much ever.

So if chatGPT was gone tomorrow I would be sad, because there’s no way on this earth I’m ever going to pick up a recipe book and read it or correctly follow the instructions inside it.
I think the examples of slop they use - shrimp Jesus - are bad examples. Because, while they're definitely bad art, they're intentionally bad.

A better example of slop would be someone creating AI art of actual Jesus (or an actual shrimp) and using that in place of real art.

An even better example would be the fake baby peacocks that took over Google image search for a while.
I have worked a little bit with "artists". Too many of them are caught up in their vision, and apparently incapable of dealing with reality. Too many of them believe that their vision is so, so unique that everyone else should sort out any problems.

There's one guy where I live, whom I tried to help out several times. I would invest lots of effort handling the practical stuff: flyers, text, web site, etc. Little thanks, because it was his due. Then he would have a new idea, change direction, and it was all for nothing.
I don't see how "you are coming at this from an angle, end of comment" elevates anything.

Is art really about craft anymore?

There's certainly an element of it but it's gotten very meta and abstract these days.

What is the craft in a dirty bath tub or a robot endlessly sweeping liquid?

Better yet what's the craft in a white canvas: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_invisible_artworks

I'm actually not denying there's art here, sometimes I "get it" but the art of today has gotten very conceptual and meta.

I see similar issues with music - where the need to be accessible vs original are pit against each other. Da Vinci, Monet, Turner, Picasso - the art is fairly accessible. Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, Holst ditto.

But who will be remembered as being accessible and "serious" from our generation in music? Probably John Williams - a film composer primarily. I'm not dissing composers, one of my favourites of all time is Nobuo Uematsu but I am not sure what is art anymore. I wonder if art can only emerge with hindsight. What did it feel like to be in the present when people like Chopin and Liszt were in their heyday while Delacroix and Moreau were painting. Or when Ravel and Debussy were writing impressionistic music alongside Monet and Manet painting

World of Warcraft has never been without issues. When it launched it was full of bugs, servers kept crashing (but they did refund a lot of gametime back then) and so on.

And every expansion was just a nightmare start, without being able to get to the new zone, servers again crashing.

You just have golden memories of a state that never happened. Game wise, WoW has gone forward a lot since DF (the disaster of SL taught them something) and is actually in a lot better state than before. Sure, it has bugs, but it's also a massive game. And they do keep fixing a lot of bugs with quite good response time these days instead of what it used to be.
For me they provide a good jumping off point. I do find I still need to read it and tweak it. But it’s much easier than having to write the damn thing myself. I am not trying to be an engineer, I am trying to build a business and get an mvp off the ground. And if we get anywhere, then maybe we can have budget for real engineers.

Well, people are people, and nobody does anything with 100% accuracy. You, trying to put this on the people, is pretty despicable. Context matters a lot. Education matters a lot. Life gets in the way. It sucks. But when you have 8+ billion of people on the planet, expect some percentage of them to do things you think don't make sense to you. Accept it. Telling people to use condoms neither solves the problem, helps the person, or helps resolve future incidents.

I don’t think you will be capable of pushing it as a sort of board game protocol. I think the best way to do rules is to have a rulebook where it’s very easy to look up rules as a reference later. Setup, turns and actions are relatively easy to learn, but you’ll often have to look up consequences of actions or specific events over the years. Rulebook which mix in everything in a big mess designed to describe “how to play for new players”, tend to make it hard to look up things. Which is what you’re going to want to do after a few play throughs. Especially if you play a lot of different board games.

I think the biggest challenges you’ll face is that most rulebooks are simply poorly written and that many games aren’t well designed. Add to this that many modern board games are sold on FOMO models, where you get a lot of additional crowdfunding exclusive rule addons, and it’s just a mess.

The best way to get good rules would probably be to get them digitally and have a LLM refine them for you though. Not only could you fix some of the bad writing, you could also ask for things like reference sheets or whatever you want.

No lol. Not "The" Overwatch League. I should have maybe chosen my words more wisely, though I'm pretty sure they referred to themselves as a "league" though. My wife is asleep, otherwise I would ask her the correct terminology.

Basically she was on a non-professional all woman team for almost six years that would go head-to-head with other teams in scheduled tournaments. Her team even managed to get one-on-one coaching from some guy on the actual official "Overwatch League".

They dissolved shortly after Overwatch 2 came out. The move to 5v5 did not help as suddenly one of their tanks was redundant.
