For me, Urban Dictionary[0] defines this issue much more clearly:

> When this term became popularized, initially the meaning of this term was when an individual become more aware of the social injustice. Or basically, any current affairs related like biased, discrimination, or double-standards.

> However, as time passed by, people started using this term recklessly, assigning this term to themselves or someone they know to boost their confidence and reassure them that they have the moral high grounds and are fighting for the better world. And sometimes even using it as a way to protect themselves from other people's opinion, by considering the 'outsider' as non-woke. While people that are in line with their belief as woke. Meaning that those 'outsiders' have been brainwash by the society and couldn't see the truth. Thus, filtering everything that the 'outsider' gives regardless whether it is rationale or not.

> And as of now, the original meaning is slowly fading and instead, is used more often to term someone as hypocritical and think they are the 'enlightened' despite the fact that they are extremely close-minded and are unable to accept other people's criticism or different perspective. Especially considering the existence of echo chamber(media) that helped them to find other like-minded individuals, thus, further solidifying their 'progressive' opinion.

Back in the 1990s, while debugging some network configuration issue a wiser older colleague taught me the more general concept that lies behind git bisect, which is "compare the broken system to a working system and systematically eliminate differences to find the fault." This can apply to things other than software or computer hardware. Back in the 90s my friend and I had identical jet-skis on a trailer we shared. When working on one of them, it was nice to have its twin right there to compare it to.

Everyone is paraphrasing what the judgement is. It's easy to find on pegi.info:

> This game teaches - by way of images, information and gameplay - skills and knowledge that are used in poker. During gameplay, the player is rewarded with ‘chips’ for playing certain hands. The player is able to access a list of poker hand names. As the player hovers over these poker hands, the game explains what types of cards the player would need in order to play certain hands. As the game goes on, the player becomes increasingly familiar with which hands would earn more points. Because these are hands that exist in the real world, this knowledge and skill could be transferred to a real-life game of poker.

Their issue with Balatro is that it teaches poker hands.

Now search the PEGI site for 'poker' and you'll find numerous games with Poker in the title which are rated 12 and 16. 'Poker Smash' for Xbox and 'Poker Masters' for PC and three other games are even rated '3'.

It seems that ratings have changed over time - early 2000s were much more leniant on gambling as a topic. Every game on Google Play with Poker in title, bar one, which I found had an '18' rating.

> the Christian Right has had most of the power in the US for most of its existence until the rise of tech during the last 20 years

I’d argue their power fell earlier, with the Civil Rights movement: we’ve seen almost monotonic decreases in Christian religiosity since [1]. (It’s currently in a generational peak. I don’t know if that’s a last gasp of their boomers or something deeper.)

> The entire crusade against ‘woke’ is that demographic shifts are going to make the US a ‘minority majority’ country within our lifetimes and that people who were usually in the shadows are now able to speak out

I think it’s about as unfair to paint the rejection of “wokeness” like this as it is to paint every progressive policy as woke.

> we use cargo cult not to refer to people holding a belief unquestioningly, but to refer to people going through the motions of a ritual without having a strong rational basis for believing it will have the desired effect, and even more specifically it implies that the ritual was borrowed from someone who actually did understand the science behind it and knew how to apply it correctly.

I don't really see why this distinction is worth preserving. Dogma (i.e. arbitrary and not-rationally-based belief) seems to be the objectionable part here. Where the dogma originates seems less important.
I absolutely loved this game growing up. It scratched a similar itch for me as SimCity. The corporate layer wasn't particularly sophisticated, but it did give me some early insight into finance.

The soundtrack was also incredible, and I wish it were available independently.
I only noticed the jerky scrolling on pages with a lot of images, particularly hires + CSS effects (blur etc.). Everything else feels OK to me (I'm sure it could be smoother, but it's not too bad so I haven't noticed).

For backups, I don't them the qubes way, I do "regular" backups within VM using rsync/duplicity/... When moving to a new machine I prefer to setup everything from scratch (and then restore the data). And it gives me all the features like incremental backups etc.
Because the phone market is a duopoly that was impenetrable for even Microsoft.

If you know what are you doing in general, I'm convinced that it can actually help you out but I had 0 success with doing it brainfuck(chatgpt claims that anything beyond hello world is too complicated haha).

Just like with the image and video generators, I'm fishing to find evidence of machines building something useful - had very little success so far.

If the claims are true and these huge investments are not done in vain, not too far in the future we should be able to tell AI to build the tools we need, for example Microsoft should be expecting to discontinue MS Office either because someone can tell AI to make them an Excel instead of paying a subscription or tell AI to just do the job they will do in Excel.

It's very strange that they talk about replacing the developers with AI but somehow still sell software. Something doesn't add up.
That’s because it is not a quote from the article or a sentiment pg upheld.

> isn't this problem largely solved by other products

No? I don’t want to use my speakers as output for all the audio from any given device, only the stream I want. So, the audio system needs to be capable of managing the stream itself, independent of the device I use to select/start/stop the stream. I don’t know of anything other than Sonos that manages that well.

(Never mind the sibling comments point about syncing multiple wireless speakers to play the same audio without perceptible lag)
> On the flip side, it's super similar to those video poker machines in bars and restaurants.

Other than playing cards being shown on screen, it's not.

> If you allowed the option to increase the bet

There is no betting in Balatro.

> and got rid of the special joker abilities, it's basically the same thing.

So completely change how the game works completely then it's "basically the same" as video poker? Do you hear yourself?

> People claiming otherwise are being willfully ignorant.

People claiming otherwise can tell the difference between 2 games using playing cards.

> I love Balatro, but it's definitely gambling adjacent

Again, there is no gambling in Balatro.

> and depending on how rules/laws around children gambling are defined, it probably should be age gated, or those rules/laws should be updated to reflect reality, you can't have it both ways.

Gonna ignore this because you haven't explained in any way how Balatro is in anyway "gambling adjacent" other than your made up situation where if you completely change the way the game works it becomes gambling, which of course is nonsense.

I don't care that much for the commentary about who will or will not make it. After all, I think that if AGI is really just around the bend, then we don't have to worry about programming jobs: they probably won't exist. But if it's not, then these tools will probably continue to improve at a rate that makes what we have today irrelevant. I believe that will happen with all of the image generation knowledge people are accumulating with Stable Diffusion derived models.

That said, forgetting all of the AI doom or hype, this seems frankly incredibly cool. I haven't managed to find a great use case for AI code generation where it hasn't failed miserably (except for minor boilerplate uses, like with IntelliJ's LLM auto complete for Java), but actually, generating FFI libraries seems like a pretty kickass use case for automation. I dig this. I will definitely try it.
I fear you're failing to understand the distinction between having a perspective that something is wrong with the current system, and having all the legal answers about how to successfully encode such distinction into law. OP's comment was that that people shouldn't want there to be a legal difference.

You're also failing to understand that I am not even making a claim that there should be a difference, I'm merely pointing out that your dismissal of the artists that wish to prevent Tin-Tin from being gentrified is shallow and essentially amounts to 'that's the way things are'.

When people ask 'why is x wrong' the answer isn't usually 'because it's against the law'. This is a boring statement and sheds no real light.
That’s an awful lot of effort to deal with an issue that was basically just cosmetic. I suspect at some point the author was just nerd sniped though.

There are (several) other “train games” that are mostly one-off implementations with a train theme (often route/network building and/or tile placement, but sometimes not), but all of the above are families of several games that share a common system (components) and board game mechanisms, so once you play one, it’s often easy to understand/pick up on others in the same family.

The first, Ticket to Ride is probably the most accessible, and therefore one of the more popular options. But the others definitely offer a deeper experience, if you can handle the (increasing) complexity.

Right -- and that I don't agree with. My concern is laws that make it illegal to modify products you own or to offer advice or tools to people who wish to modify products they own. Similarly, arrangements like leases and limited licenses that convey some aspects of "ownership" but not complete ownership should also be severely restricted.

In general if there are no legal recourses to go after people who modify their devices, then it makes it more appealing for manufacturers to allow a supported opt-out method because that reduces the incentives to compromise their products with out-of-band methods.

So I'd prefer to take an indirect route of empowering customers rather than requiring manufacturers to do additional work to free up their products.

> People are obssessed with talking about how bad the performative nature is, when they should ignore that aspect and just focus on the issue.

You can do both: focus on fixing performative "justice" in order to fix the issue. Particularly the part that is spinning your arguments and using them for injustice, making them appear weaker.

There's a strategy: support flawed people on your team, because they'll help your team overall. And sometimes this is good, even necessary, e.g. voting for the less-bad candidate in an election. But sometimes there are teammates who are counter-productive even for their own goals. You don't even have to eject these people, but you have to correct them, or they'll make your team worse than if they didn't exist.

When I hear conservative arguments, they rarely if ever target the points I think are reasonable and obvious. They target points that I think aren't worth defending (e.g. "illegal immigrant who commit armed robbery not deported"), and points that I think are worth defending but require nuance (which can be defended with some form of "you're correct, although..." to reveal and protect the reasonable part). Conservatives win voters by targeting the weakest points, which just about anyone previously uninformed would side against; "performative justice" creates most of these points, and attacks against attacks against performative justice protect them.

It's like a bottleneck or unstable pillar in a building. You don't want to divert everyone to fixing it, because the overall pipeline or building is the ultimate priority, but it has to be addressed. Likewise, fixing the issue is still the ultimate priority, and I don't expect everyone to address performative justice, but somebody has to do it.

It's 1880. you're the mayor of a small town of 300 people and two girls have been sold by their families to pay a gambling debt.

A mother appears in front of you, with haunted eyes and a worry-worn handkerchief in hand. "You cannot save those two missing girls, but you have to stop this from happening again! Help those that cannot help themselves."

What do you do, Mayor Sjsdaiuasgdia?

My guess? exactly what rational people did

* Be vocal about the worst-case scenario
* Criticize those that ignore the warnings
* Ostracize those that ignore the criticism
* Do your level best to discourage "gateway" behavior as best you can

but maybe they're fools. What would you have done? Tell us, Mayor Sjsdaiuasgdia!

With LLMs I am in this strange place where I read all of these amazing things that they supposedly all can do. And I have no doubt in my mind that they probably can. And then I ask ChatGPT a simple question such as:

Here is a logic puzzle that I need some help solving: Samantha is a girl and has two brothers and four sisters. Alex is a man and also one of Samantha's brothers. How many brothers and sisters does Alex have? Assume that Samantha and Alex share all siblings.

And I get back a very well written, multi-step response that leaves no doubt in anyones mind that:

To solve this logic puzzle:

Samantha has 2 brothers and 4 sisters.
This means there are 7 children in total (Samantha, her 2 brothers, and her 4 sisters).

Alex is one of Samantha's brothers. Since Samantha and Alex share all siblings, Alex has:
1 brother (the other brother besides himself).
4 sisters.

Final Answer:

Alex has 1 brother and 4 sisters.

Maybe it's like with Apple and I am using it wrong.

To get back to the "intern"-comparison. I could usually tell when an intern was struggling, there just were human telltale signs. When AI is wrong, it still presents its results with the confidence of someone who is extremely deep in the Dunning-Kruger hole but can still write like a year-long expect on the topic.
Depends on how much Microsoft decides Windows Store and XBox App are relevant for game developers targeting the PC going forward.
> And as for "why are not selling this in every retail store?", the answer is the same - because if they were, no one would buy them.

That's purely hypothetical. How could any prove or disprove the assertion?

The general point, though, is that consumer awareness is essential for sales. People won't buy things that they don't know about. As an indie developer myself, I'm painfully aware of this. It doesn't matter how great one's product is if nobody knows about it. Advertising is very expensive, so it requires vast capital outlays in order to get your products into the minds of consumers and onto the shelves of stores. The big established brands have a massive advantage, making it difficult for competitors to break into the market. Apple itself leveraged its existing brand, with Mac and iPod, in order to promote iPhone. And Apple's primary competitor is Google, who also was already an established brand via search and Chrome.

Remember that back in the day, Microsoft almost destroyed the entire desktop OS market. They almost killed Apple too. Only the Department of Justice put some kind of break on it, and Microsoft let Apple live in order to provide antitrust cover. If MS had for example simply withdrawn its apps from Mac—Office, Internet Explorer (remember that Internet Explorer was originally the default web browser on Mac OS X before Safari!)—Apple likely would have died.
I thought this was an interesting read. For me, it sparked the insight that wokeness parallels the rise and fall of the attention economics, with the premise that attention is the real bottleneck in social justice. It places an emphasis on awareness, and the solution is often left as an exercise to the observer.

Political correctness and language codes are not new. I think what was new is the idea that people could rally around the banner of awareness, and thereby avoid disputes about solutions. This is why many of these topics lose momentum once their followers get the attention and have to deal with the hard and less popular questions of how to fix something.
>the AI industry needs a government that is on their side, one that won’t sit back and let opportunities slip through its fingers. And in a world of fierce competition, we cannot stand by. We must move fast and take action to win the global race.

This sounds like desperation more than anything else. I think a rush to use AI in public services without thorough planning and a critical mindset will inevitability lead to another Post Office or Robodebt scandal [2].
