To be clear, I'm not as invested into the conclusion as it may seem. The jabs in the direction of Mario 64 are mainly an attempt at humour. My actual preference is for the early white non-polygonal title designs.

But yes, this is Muphry's law in action. ;)
With docker you don't really need to care about Bun's support on Windows.
But I've been using it without issues so far. If you have issues, it might be specific to some package.
Weird that Battlefield wasn't mentioned on the list of notable EA products.

Anyway... no tears shed here.

It's interesting, living in San Antonio Texas. We have a particular dominance of industries here where benevolent dominators exist. We have only one power company, and HEB, literally the best grocer in the nation, covers the town with only Walmart providing any competition.

All this to say, I wonder if that is why I'm kind of okay with Steam being such a dominant force in VG distribution. It's been doing it for 20+ years, it does it with relative benevolence, and makes money hand over fist. A toast to death, EA Origin, and whatever the hell Bethesda had! Haha.
> I hate nearly every single thing about the MacOS UX. The dock is awful, and so many insane defaults all over the place. Hiding scrollbars is a bug, not a feature. Pointer acceleration is a bug, not a feature. The scroll wheel operating in reverse is a bug, not a feature.

I disagree with every single thing you've said here. And I'd be willing to bet most Apple users do too.

That being said, I do think there's some charm in simple, "outdated" UIs.
The Olympics are choking themselves to death right now. I can recall sitting on the sidewalk watching the torch relay for Los Angeles 1984, but today the Olympics is just eighteen months of irritating ads followed by three weeks of media clucking.

Fewer and fewer cities want to splash hundreds of millions on building stadiums that go to rust in a few years, and the ones still willing to do so are often just using it as a sports-washing vehicle for mediocre records on other factors. It's not a good look when voters overwhelmingly cheer the withdrawl of your city's bid!

Once you find a venue, you're not really playing for the host city, you're playing for the cameras. Schedule the events based on when it's prime time in rich ad markets, not when it makes most sense for the sports, or even when it would maximize the exposure for the sports that most people ONLY see once every four years. Ooh, look, the Dream Team. Big whoop. They run 40 NBA games a year on local TV, show me judo or hammer-throwing or synchronized swimming. And despite all that, they seem to have no concern about the TV product they made such efforts to prostate themselves for. Does anyone at NBC get concerned that people intentionally look for VPNs to access the CBC and BBC streams because they've made such a mess of tape delays, schmaltzy human-interest stories, and laser-focusing on American athletes?

Of course, the sphere around the events is a complete branded marketing festival. The thing that still sticks with me was an article about the London 2012 games that said they had people going around putting tape over the logos on the toilets because they weren't an official paying sponsor. That level of petty goes well beyond business school. They're over-the-top with their trademarks too, especially for a nominally well-intentioned non-profit. Nobody is going to starve if the gyro place on the corner is a little too loose with adjectives referring to a specific holy mountain.

The Olympics used to be a noble idea: we can have international competition in a benign venue, in the spirit of celebrating peaceful achievement. Maybe a much smaller take on it would go back to those roots. Smaller events wouldn't disrupt or bankrupt host cities, so we'd see real interest in hosting again, and they'd be less tempting to turn into a TV Event and marketing freakshow at the expense of all else.

Maybe his idea of "let's do five cities at once" is a way to get there, although I worry it's more the business equivalent of "we couldn't scale single-threaded CPUs past 4-5GHz, so the only way to go bigger was to add more cores."
I usually stand at the ironing board (they're typically height adjustable). Keyboard goes on board, laptop goes on trashcan which is on board (just to get the screen higher). I usually bring some paracord so I can tie the whole contraption to something heavy so it doesn't wobble. Sometimes I'll use the cord to hang a second travel monitor from some nearby art--still working on a proper harness for it.

It's fun. I occasionally get work done too.
I always say, if it takes longer than 15/30min. Go get it approved. If it's not approved by my manager and it's not on the roadmap. I'm not touching it. They get the message and move on to the next sucker. :)
I believe you are projecting your emotions onto others and trying to find justification for certain behaviors you don’t agree with. However, not every workplace has the same dynamics. I work in a large corporation, and I don’t see the kind of issues you’re experiencing. Moreover, behavior like yours is considered negative in my environment.
My first-ever custom intel build was a Smithfield Pentium D in 2006. It was the budget dual-core option (dual core!). Overclocked it from 2.66 GHz to 3.6 GHz with 512MB of DDR-600 RAM.

It was 64 bit. The AMD Opteron was out of my budget at the time.
Perceptual hashes are very good for that, maybe with some adjustments for mirrored images and some crops
They already have this data
Origin has already been functionally unusable already for most platforms, as if you launched it on any EA App compatible platform, Origin would automatically force update to the EA App unless you messed with the files to disable the check. Shutting down the app will mostly just pull up the ladder for anyone on an incompatible platform.

I switched to the EA App recently. It's definitely a lot more user hostile than Origin was. Unlike Origin, there's no setting in the app to make it close when you hit the X button, and every time you open the app it opens a full page of ads for their games, with no option to have to have it default to your library instead. All in all it really just seems like an enshittified update offering no new features I want and a lot of "features" I don't want.
That's right. SMS is 155 chars but it should be fixed now
Star Trek's Newly Released Movie Accomplishes the Impossible and Sets a New Bar
I really enjoyed the perspective of this author and the article's contemplative tone. I think an important perspective is that these are tools for consumers, not creators. While we are all obviously both to a degree, the current economic model makes a clear distinction.

When it comes to monetary exchange, we are either artists or consumers. AI art has the potential to create a massive imbalance between these two fields, reducing the friction of being a consumer, and greatly reducing the number of people who are able to support themselves as artists. If you view yourself chiefly as a consumer this might (very narrowly) be viewed as a positive.

The social cost however is creating a society that favors consumption over creation, and weights incentives accordingly
u should make a better landing page
That's really a superficial issue here, because once the program budget has grown to fighter jet levels the asymmetric cost discussion is over and all that's left is taking a potentially culpable human being out of the equation, and the likely more influential aspect of military purchasers wanting to be impressed by vendors just like any other purchasers anywhere else.
> The reals that are indescribable are truly weird [...]

Well, I appreciate your patience. I'm certain I won't find a hole in any of your arguments or the conventional wisdom, but the Reals outside of the Computables (or Defineables might be a better choice) are more than weird, they're absurd. They're dense in the number line but only a countable number of them are anywhere to be found, named, or described past a few digits.

Additionally there is always a Computable number between any two Reals and a Real between any two Computables. *This* ought to imply a one-to-one correspondance, but I'm certain I can't defend that argument either.

As for applied math, any situation where we claim the Reals are required (perhaps as the position of a particle or the coefficients of a wave function or something) is uncomputable. So saying the Reals apply to reality probably says something very weird about determinism too.
This is something the CHERI architecture[0] (an extension to ARM and RISC-V that implements a capability memory model) can allow this performantly with compiled code (without needing to context switch). This PhD dissertation from Cambridge[1] implements this for C/C++ under CheriBSD (their fork of FreeBSD that supports CHERI).

If you're not naturally born with it, it requires you to push yourself out of your comfort zone, but once you experience it working, you'll feel Übermensch, as Friedrich Nietzsche describes it.
I did something similar 20 years ago. Setup 4 Nokia phones with 4 SIM cards for the 4 different networks in Germany.

It was possible to connect them via a serial cable to a linux machine and receive/send SMS.

Used that to offer a horse betting service: people could bet on horses via complex SMS syntax. It worked, but never made enough money :)
FSD will not engage if the drivers seat is empty or buckled. It also freaks out when it thinks that a cheating device is present.
It shouldn't be, though. There is way too much democracy in California localities.

There should be no elected school board, transit districts, utility boards, assessors, sheriff, and so much more. No one is properly informed about candidates for these positions.

For that matter, the Board of Supervisors should have no power other than oversight and impeachment. The Mayor should basically be a local dictator, with the power to do anything the State authorizes the municipality to do, at their sole discretion, with the oversight of an elected board.

Choosing your Python REST API framework
Ugh. GitHub's UX has been getting so much worse over time. :( :( :(

They even completely break super basic things that used to work fine.

For example, if you want the direct download url of (say) an image file in your repo you used to be able to hover over the "Download raw file" button and the status bar would show you the url.

But no, no any more. It's now some kind of javascript button bullshit and there's no way to get it to show the actual download url. Clicking it at least downloads the file, but the history entry is messed up "blob:..." and also doesn't show the download url (using Firefox).

Because at GitHub they clearly can't leave alone the things that actually work, and need to change things just for the sake of change. Seriously not impressed. :( :( :(

Open TV v1.4.1: EPG, Notifications, Downloads, Re-Streaming and More
Open TV is an ultra fast open-source IPTV player for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

Since the last time Open TV was posted here, it has changed a lot. I took all the feedback from lemmy, reddit, github and hackernews and worked very hard on the last few months to deliver the best IPTV experience on desktop. Here's all the cool new stuff:

- EPG and EPG Notifications (TV guide)
- Download vods and movies
- Re-stream channels to allow multiple devices/people to watch from a single iptv subscription
- Optional keyword search
- Editable sources in Settings
- Option to refresh sources on start in Settings
- Custom sources, channels and groups you can share and import with the .otv, .otvg and .otvp formats
- Support for custom http headers in m3u
- Much more robust m3u processing
- Vastly improved error handling and reporting with both in-app error messages and logging
- More settings added like default volume and default view
- Scroll to load more
- Improved hotkeys and UI/UX
- A ton of bug fixes
- The app was added to scoop (scoop.sh)!

Open TV is a solo open source project. If you enjoy using the app, feedback and bug reports are super appreciated. Donations are also very welcome and always appreciated, no matter the amount.
I don't think you read the original comment.
Tokyo metropolitan area is nothing like the SF Bay Area. It's extremely different and so is ridership.

Also, if you check out smaller cities in Japan they don't always have as good public transit.

Heck, even in Tokyo you can find neighborhoods where you still need to walk or maybe take a bus because train lines don't quite reach them.
I think you completely misunderstood the article. It says that the electricity used to power these trains was estimated to cost $19m a year, but the trains are a bit more efficient than expected, so the new estimate is only $16.5m/year.

Most if not all electric trains powered by overhead wires have regenerative braking that feeds back to the grid as standard, and Caltrain's new Stadler units definitely do. Nobody paid extra for regenerative braking, it's just the default way to do things on electric trains, to the point that it'd be weird not to have it. Even diesel-electrics often have a kind of regenerative braking, but they don't have anywhere to store the recovered energy so they just convert it to heat via huge resistors.
It's even more stupid. The ransom was paid in Ether (ETH) which the kidnappers then exchanged to Tether stablecoins (USDT). Tether is a centralized company that can freeze and block any blockchain address from using the stablecoin that they issue and that's exactly what they did, they froze the ransom.

We'll probably have more details about this in a few days just goes to show how you can't hide on public blockchain ledgers.
I think a big part is buying things that work locally and don’t require a cloud connection at all.

If it requires a cloud to function, you’re at the mercy of a company changing attitudes. If it runs entirely locally, the company can’t get in the way even if they want to.

It’s one of the aspects I really like about matter (or any other device that operates on a purely local protocol). If Inovelli decides to take a turn, it just means I won’t buy any new products from them, but the switches I already put in my wall will continue to function the way they do today.
I'd like to see some evidence for that -- sure, there are a lot of people in big cities that are happy with high density (but even many of them move out to the suburbs when they decide to settle down and have kids), but there are many people in the USA that won't give up their 2000 sq ft house with 3 car garage that fits their F150 pickup.

Much of my midwest family is that way - they couldn't believe how tiny my "city" apartment was that wasn't even in the city, it was a 1600 sq ft townhouse that was a 40 minute commute from city center.

It's going to take decades (or some catastrophic disaster) to get Americans to change that mindset and give up low density living.
Fun fact: Michael Healy in the second photo lives in Larry Ellison’s old house in Oakland. He also has a book on Amazon.
Why stop at just office chairs? Why not detect all categorizable objects in every photo and rank based on that?

Could also crop just the object detection regions of each image, run those cropped images through CLIP/SigLIP, then UMAP and HDBSCAN to view a 2 or 3 dimensional latent space clustering of office chair types.. might reveal some info as to what kinds of chairs exist in what geographical regions. Could use a VLM to auto-tag each cluster given a couple images from each one. Could run PCA on the CLIP embeddings and have some sliders for each principal component.. maybe the first is chair color or size or whatever

much data = much fun
I’m wondering/surprised about the A being piled in - isn’t accessibility a law? I remember doing a11y work long before DEI, and it wasn’t a political issue.
My advice for people who own crypto is the same as my advice for people who own guns: You shouldn't own it, but if you do, shut the fuck up about it.

Guns and crypto both have unique properties: criminals want them, and they want there to not be a connection between their identity and the item they plan to do crime with. The obvious solution, for a criminal, is to steal someone else's guns or crypto, not for the value of the object itself but for the fact that it has your fingerprints on it and not theirs. It's a funny kind of identity theft.
I know high traffic media are using successfully Wordpress. My major concern here is the lack of a proper team of Devs/Ops to manage properly the scale. That’s why I consider SaaS platform. However, we are not talking about a hobby website with 100 visitors per day.
>You will still be able to art, even if AI art becomes better.

I don't know, maybe all the artists, musicians, and poets will be too tired from doing whatever menial labor bullshit jobs are left post AI to create great art.

Why not direct our efforts into enabling more people to devote their lives to creating art instead of fewer? Wouldn't it be amazing if everyone was able to spend their time creating because the machines were doing the work we actually didn't want to do?

There’s an article out there about TfL using regenerative breaking to store to use electricity from regen breaking to power an Underground station, prompted by a post on Caltrain.

This isn’t that but it is an impressive article on its own.
Leopards are going to be eating a lot of faces.
you shouldn't be unwrapping, error cases should be properly handled. users shouldn't see null dereference errors without any context, even in cli tools...

The article states exactly that: still a law
We already have the responsibility for letting this stuff go on, that's the problem. I am also very skeptical that anywhere near a majority would support it if they were aware of it and understood.
Ghost looks like a solid alternative. Considering the traffic on 404media, it proved the same scalability than WP.

Do you know if they are using the SaaS version or the self hosted version?
Corps want to be able to release and use tools that take away the freedoms that GPL-family licenses provide. Often this results in duplication of effort.

This is not theoretical; it happens quite frequently. For toolchains, in particular I'm aware of how Apple (not that they're unique in this) has "blah blah open source" downloads, but often they do not actually correspond with the binaries. And not just "not fully reproducible but close" but "entirely new and incompatible features".

The ARM64 saga is a notable example, which went on for at least six months (at least Sept 2013 to March 2014). XCode 5 shipped with a closed-source compiler only for all that time.
I’ve got some inovelli white series switches that are on a circuit with Nanoleaf thread based lights.

I’ve managed to bind them using Matter bindings, so even if HA is offline, the switches can still on/off and dim the bulbs.

No UI supports this yet (though I think HA is working towards it), but the underlying protocol support exists, and products are starting to come to market that take advantage of it.

I think it 2-4 years, it’ll probably be ironed out and working well, but if you really want it, you can have that now with matter/thread.

I think Zigbee devices also have bindings, and those should probably be a lot more mature, but I haven’t played with those yet.
I find it interesting that this use of racism is passed off without concern but it would be uncool to call someone here a racist. I don't really see the difference.

All that being said, they seem like similar principles to me, but I'm not the one throwing around what's racist, and based on your use of it, I guess you'd disagree.
Pretend to be a believer for just a second and think about these two questions:

Are you proposing that these measures have made crypto just as safe or safer for the average person to work with than fiat?

It's nice that there are tools available to prevent such things in theory, and it seems like there's some traction in the right direction, but what matters is whether it's safer in practice. I'd love it if that happened soon, but it doesn't seem likely.
Yes and it’s not profitable enough to be worthwhile - unrestricted spying changes that.
It's very likely that there will be court cases soon trying to figure out what does this actually mean in practice. (The gov itself has a month to figure out what it means in the first place) I mean, apart from the performative cruelty and defining a minority outgroup to be angry at. But yeah, accessibility is supposed to be required for government properties, by various laws.
Transaction rollbacks. In this case the USDT ransom was blocked by Tether.
Rollbacks for non-centralized tokens & networks goes against the goal of most protocols though, so it's unlikely to become the norm.
Thought this would be a way to defog windshield without having to heat the cabin.

I have a hard time believing this will significantly improve aerodynamics. Maybe at lower speeds? But it feels like it would take too much time to notably increase the temp of the outside air enough to make a significant change to the aerodynamics.
I think there's a big difference between something being a law and there being anyone around to implement that law, and indeed, there being a government department or regulator checking the law is being followed.

There won't be anyone doing any of that.
FerretDB blog post https://blog.ferretdb.io/ferretdb-releases-v2-faster-more-co...
The point of confusion is that Windows 10 32-bit is the last release of 32-bit Windows and which goes out of support later this year. Windows 11 only has a 64-bit version.

64-bit binaries cannot run on Windows 10 32-bit, and presumably EA is dropping 32-bit binaries for EA Application if they even have them (admission: I have no idea if they do). This is why they want Windows 10 64-bit or above.

The authors are both confused and have no business writing for Personal Computer World.
Maybe somewhere some line offset is stored as i16? (I don't understand why anyway but..)
The purpose of these changes is to hurt those who are vulnerable to them. It's shocking to see how quickly people were willing to trade that support for some perceived short term gain. I suspect a lot of people are about to find out they're vulnerable too.
