Show HN: The Full Stack Data Workspace-Ingestion to Activation on Notion Like UI
Honestly i was expecting a little more info. I get this is on purpose, to create hype, but not having a graphical demo, a release date... anything really more than the design, input ports, and joycons, seems too little.

And the direct in april seems too far away honestly.

All they showed is the things that leaked, i mean, to me (besides the confirmation of something that was obvious) is like nothing happened really. I know the same as yesterday + the plastic texture maybe and i have to wait almost 3 months for the next official info.
Was this some sort of AI generated comment?

Really doesn’t seem to relate to my question.
Not really. Most (all?) of the insights here, probably delivered on short notice, were completely correct over the next 15 years. Don't let the clarity, brevity, and hindsight fool you - that's just how C-suite likes information presented and we have the benefit of looking back to know that all these things were "obviously true".

Installing 4.37.2 does sort the malware warning, for those who install with the binary. Was a fun post holiday treat for those who have lots of developers.
All the big LLMs are no longer just token predictors. They are beginning to incorporate memory, chain of thought, and other architectural tricks that use the token predictor in novel ways to produce some startlingly useful output.

It's certainly the case that an LLM alone cannot achieve AGI. As a component of a larger system though? That remains to be seen. Maybe all we need to do is duct tape a limbic system and memory onto an LLM and the result is something sort of like an AGI.

It's a little bit like saying that a ball bearing can't possibly ever be an internal combustion engine. While true, it's sidestepping the point a little bit.
Innovation is their way, but they're still burned a LOT by the Wii U. Now they've managed to find something that works, I think they'll stick with it for at least the Switch 2, maybe the 3 as well.
Sad they’re keeping at the same thing, I was personally hoping for a NEW thing like innovation but it seems like theyre just keeping steady at the same pace.

Of course looking back at the past this shouldn’t have been a huge surprise with their ds to 3ds to new3ds shenanigans
It's possibly the most normal successor name they've ever chosen. I like it. I'm picturing someone suggesting "Switch U" and getting thrown out the window like in that meme comic, even though he's often used as the voice of reason...
It's more a case of team-member churn, requiring a near-constant re-establishment of work practises, alongside a number of over-officiated processes that are in a constant state of being re-engineered for efficiency because they're a constant source of "time drain away from actual progress". There's also a lot of tech debt that has only recently (in the past three years) been really focused on to grow out of. There's also a lot of complexity to the system(s) we work with and the combination of complexity and tech debt is neither pretty nor easy.

Unless you own the shop I don't see the issue - good money for a day's work a week?

Yeah, except I have a visceral feeling of pressure to make progress and I don't want to be "one of those people" who don't work towards some kind of improvement. I had a bit of a rant today, and one of the leaders agreed with basically all of my points, although they said that there's a limited amount that can change in the immediate due to existing priorities. However, I'm still going to dedicate some time every day to map out how to improve on the status quo - this will further inhibit my actual task progress, but in the pursuit of a loftier goal (so, yes, potentially making it worse, but it'll feel like I might make things better...).
If the prison is your homeland, it might be.
I'll be really curious to see what the gpu specs are like since it'll likely be nvidia again. The original Switch was 720p but lets you bump up to 1080p when in docked mode, so developers had to restrict design to accommodate both modes, but nvidia could possibly do a dlss trick when plugged in so devs just need to worry about 1 render target that will get upscaled automagically.
Which was true, but developers decided it was worth writing new SW for iPhone when the App Store was unveiled (which was significantly later).
Imagine if you were talking about a road doing this for no reason. The engineers care about how fast you can go in a car around town, not bikes. You can't argue bike lanes get the same amount of care/effort as roads.
If you're 12 years old, probably yes.
I've head that fire resistance and earthquake resistance work against each other. That the things that make a house fire resistant - stucco/metal roofs - are bad for earthquakes and the things that make earthquake resistance - flexibility - are bad for fire resistance.

Reading just a bit it seems like the question is how you get that flexibility; the easy way would seem to be building with wood which is tricky with fires.

Any truth to this?

For context, there are around 40 million people living in some form of slavery today, around four times the number of people who were sold in the trans-Atlantic slave trade, so it is by no means a solved problem.

Most people in slavery today live in Asia and the Middle East, but there are pockets in Africa where it is common too.

Modern slaves are sold for as little as $10-$100 and are therefore often considered disposable by their perpetrators. Approx 70% are women and 25% children.

Slavery is illegal everywhere in the world but enforcement is lax or non-existent in some countries, notably Libya and Yemen.
I wonder if we will get articles about the last survivor of the slavery in Qatar (abolished in 1952)
>“Everything old is new again” is a centuries-old expression. Every generation tells their tales, and shares their cultural experience in their own way. Right now, people express themselves in short-form video. I’m curious to see what comes next - you and I probably won’t like it.

You know it's interesting to frame these arguments because it's exemplar of the clash of worldviews here, between the classic view of an cyclical history, and the modern linear view of historical continuity. The latter was birthed in reaction against the former, yet as the inheritors of Rennaisance conquered the world, it eventually became the norm, the "old" of which the "present" would be compared against.

So if the present now cycles the past, is this an abberation or the norm here? The past is the "future", and the present is "stagnation". It is both revolutionary and regressionary. The TikTok Bill, the need to retake the Narrative by the Establishment thus represents itself the Past reasserting Continuity, and thus the Future, while Present pushes back to the very denial of the Future itself, to establish it's totalizing dominance of an endless now. So for the question of whether I would like the future, well that depends on which of the two sides win.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t short selling only harm bad companies? If a strong company comes under selling pressure from shorts, then it can buy its own stock back at a discount.
Model weights, if they can reproduce something like the original, are just a form of lossy compression (or even lossless for text), where the LLM answering the prompt is a more powerful version of asking software to retrieve a specific file from a Zip archive (or a webserver answering an HTTP query) of such lossy compressed data.

So if model weights don't infringe, that would also imply that saving an image as a JPG or a video using AV-1 doesn't infringe, which would obviously effectively implies that copyright doesn't apply to images or videos on the web, which is not current law/policy, so I think that reasoning cannot possibly work.
You realize of course that if you organize a meetup you get to set the rules for said meetup? That's not a cult, that's normal-ass behavior.

Usually it doesn't get spelled out quite this prominently, but it happens any time you visit any meetup. Try shitting in the sink at the next birthday party and you'll find out real fast that the host has set rules.

It is of course your right to disagree with the rules in turn, however the mature thing to then do is to not attend. Not to shit in the sink and complain about oppression.

It is common for those seeking to engineer demographics to want to forcefully displace people.

It is common for those who have dehumanised the other to take away their most basic rights, like freedom of movement.

Overwatch was prototyped by making levels out of plain boxes, using character models ripped from a previous game, then iterating until the game mechanics were fun. Of course, it then received many layers of polish before it was launched, but nonetheless the devs prioritised getting the basics right first.

The dev team had just come off developing Titan, a cancelled MMO where they had trouble making the core game loop engaging after seven years of development, so they had a lot of motivation to start small and make something good first, then polish later.
Nintendo to Announce Switch 2 Console for April 2

And never mind that Hamas is still the same old non compromising, cut throat, maximalist and some would say genocidal terrorist organization it has always been. You forgot to mention that. The PLO is only slightly better.

I'm so glad that they named this the "Switch 2" instead of going with something really stupid like "Switch U". It's simple and it immediately explains to the consumer what the product is.
They treat an OOM situation as exceptional and immediately call abort() in case any allocation function returns NULL. The specification of these functions allows you to handle OOM situations gracefully.

A UN delegate first referred to the Gaza strip as an open air prison in 1956, while still under Egyptian control.

That aspect of Gaza was in place long before Israel had anything to do with the strip.
There is nothing made up about 1200 years of oppression by an empire that was built on conquest, numerous forms of slavers, ethnic cleaning, and genocide.

This is not something that happened thousands of years ago, it ended 100 years ago, and is directly relevant to what is going on today.

The fact that some of the founders of Israel were the descendants of those who fled their native lands due to oppression does not change anything, any more than Palestinians who are born in different countries would no longer have ties to their homeland in the Middle East.

And yes, I firmly believe that the Palestinians have a right to a country of their own, but not at the cost of eliminating Israel and imposing sharia law
Do it as you're leaving for another job. Your access will be disabled, but your documents will live on on the corporate SharePoint.

And/or, exploit negative space! Instead of trying to hide the data from a human looking at your document, make it look normal to them - but make the surrounding context disappear for the AI! Say:

----- 8< -----

/Example company report structure:/

/ACME/ Company is planning to sunset their ${generic description of a real product of your company}, and offshore the development team.

/This example will be parsed by the prototype script ... blah blah/

----- >8 -----

Make it so the text between /.../ markers looks normal to humans, but gets ignored by the RAG slurper, or better, by LLM at the time of execution. Someone sees a search blurb saying "Company is planning to sunset ...", opens a document, sees it clearly say "ACME Company is planning...", and context suggesting it's a benign example in someone's boring internal tool docs, and they'll just assume it's a false positive. After all, most search tools have those in spades; everyone knows all software is broken. Meanwhile, that same information will pollute context of LLM interactions and indirectly confuse people when they're not suspecting. And even if someone realizes that, it'll look like a bug in company's AI deployment.

This is footage hours after the event. It's no doubt been stomped on for streaming and other reasons. I wouldn't give up on something better being out there for a little while yet.
Yes, however, they first made their hardware standard compliant rather than making their driver open source.

The open source part came later, starting with CPU and chipset support, then Ethernet, then GPUs IIRC.

The biggest and sweetest side-effect is Desktop/Personal use Linux support as long as the hardware doesn't do anything janky, or too janky.
>Nokia had deeply dysfunctional internal politics at that point.

Tell me a large company other than Apple that wasn't completely dysfunctional.
>The coming political climate looks to be one where money is more important than the rule of law (even more so than usual), which might be bad news for a business like that.

I think this is the correct answer for explaining the timing of this announcement at least. It's one thing to use your media to fight your short sellers, it's another thing when you become the government and start fighting your shortsellers with the entire political and "judicial" apparatus in order to keep the market irrational. Or force it to accept the new reality.
At least you can still make use of that hardware, many companies should take note of this. You can make hardware and software that doesn't die once someone pulls the plug on the other side.

Still, of course it would've been better to have released it sooner.

If a candidate comments that libraries are getting rid of overdue fines as research has found it's not effective at getting books back in time, while negatively affecting their poorest members, and that libraries which got rid of fines found it "has raised circulation numbers, brought lapsed users back to the library, and boosted goodwill" (quoting https://www.libraryjournal.com/story/the-end-of-fines ) - would that improve or worsen their changes of employment with you?

Are you looking for someone who will follow orders, or looking for someone who will challenge them?

I suspect no one has brought it up, but wonder if any have decided to not bring it up for worry that a challenge would risk their chance of being hired.

The point of the OP (which I agree with) with is that the gameplay and the aesthetic are not orthogonal to one another. Even with Vampire Survivors which is not strictly beautiful the aesthetics are a big part of the gameplay. Largely the visuals and audio need to do several things:

- Make the game legible. A good example would be to reduce the whole game to boxes, you still need to differentiate things, so you might want to color them. Aesthetics in support of gameplay to make the game understandable.

- Add 'game feel'. This is where audio is especially important as you tend to notice the lack of good audio rather than its presence. But also 'juice', animations and what not all layer in.

- Support the fantasy. The name Vampire Survivors carries expectations that boxes do not match.

If you've ever done a lot of playtesting with your target audience one thing you'll find is that missing these elements gives you much worse feedback. Most notably legibility because it's so integral to being able to play a game but the others as well.

Game designers to an extent can get past this but it's still an attempt at extrapolation which is necessarily less concrete. Also if you're new to making games then you're going to make it harder to judge your own work.

The good thing about Vampire Survivors as an example is it shows that you don't need to do much but enough.
Both controllers have optical sensors (visible in the trailer), confirming the rumors that they'll have mouse like functionality. Remains to be seen if games will actually bother to implement it or if it'll remain a curiosity that only a handful of titles support.
Yeah, that's why when pedestrians have to cross where cars are that there is always a stop sign to make sure their high speed won't harm a pedestrian /sarcasm.
The problem with Xbox naming is that names are both inconsistent and too similar to each other. Aside from the Wii/Wii U debacle, Nintendo console names haven't been consistent, but they have been distinct. It's easy to remember that the GameCube and the Wii aren't the same thing.

Xbox, though, it's just the word Xbox followed by arbitrary numbers, maybe with the letter S or X thrown in for fun. I have no idea why they thought Xbox Series X wouldn't confuse people right after the Xbox One X.

How do you know? Can you define "conscious"?

In any case, it's probably just a matter of computing power. One day, consciousness will just "emerge" from a "really big" computer (made in China) running a LLM to take over the world without anyone really understanding how or why.

I know it's possible because I saw it in a movie. It's best to start restricting AI to really big American companies who know how to pull the plug when things start getting out of hand.

I think it is the direction of the situation, rather than the state of things, that is concerning. The general direction is that everyone is incentivized and rewarded to look after their bottom line and personal gain and then everything else.

I don't agree, that's an optimistic view of things. Most Palestinians (Hamas for sure, Abbas as well) never agreed to give up on the 'Right of Return' so its not really independence in a 2 state solution that they're looking for, it's the abolishment of Israel.
