No point in making them. Almost all big games now feature some multiplayer, if it isn't the primary focus entirely, and most games are designed from go to resist any and all modification lest people get in and ruin the fun for everyone else.

It's tremendously sad. Modding scenes in various games were huge on-ramps to development, game and otherwise, for lots of big industry figures today. Where's that coming from for the next generation's when every product is locked down from factory to where DRM regularly cripples peoples PCs?

I'm certainly no huge name in industry, but my first experience with anything even resembling code was when I discovered you could edit the scenario files in Driver (1999) on the PC to give your car all kinds of weird abilities, change how the game ran, give yourself god mode, disable time limits, all kinds of stuff, just by changing the text in the files. And like, obviously that's not software development, but I was a little kid and that was my first experience of "if you change the files inside the program, it does different things!" and that was tremendously exciting for me at the time.
> Or do devs around the world just have to bite the bullet and learn enough English to be able to use the majority of tools?

I'm a native English speaker, but from looking at various code bases written by people who aren't, I gather that it's basically this. It wasn't too long ago that one couldn't even reliably feed non-ASCII comments to a lot of compilers, let alone variable and function names.
"Free for me, not for thee!" - Sam Altman /s

But in all reality I'm happy to see this day. The fact that OpenAI ripped off everyone and everything they could and, to this day pretend like they didn't, is fantastic.

Sam Altman is a con and it's not surprising that given all the positive press DeepSeek got that it was a full court assault on them within 48 hours.
My experience was kid dropped my old phone on holiday, we tried to remember why my spouse's old phone got replaced, and remembered she had a pixel 4a and the battery life had gotten really poor.

There was some news at the time that the 4a would be getting a 'battery performance update' and that it would result in some users getting a warning about their battery performing poorly and some would be eligible for $50 or a repair.

When I eventually got around to prepping the phone for the kid, lo and behold, the update was ready, I did it, and the battery was bad, and it linked me to the battery performance campaign page...

Which needed the IMEI, then said I could get $50, a $100 coupon or bring it in for repair, and there was a shop reasonably near me. I brought it in and they swapped the battery in about 2 hours with no extra drama.

I don't know why you would throw your phone out from this update... Although I wouldn't be surprised if you had already thrown it out because the battery performance was an issue before the update too.
Almost all software engineers learn a passing amount of English - truly localized programming environments are quite esoteric and not really available for most mainstream use cases I can think of.

Depending on the company culture and policy, the most common thing to see is a mix of English variable and function names with native-language comments. Occasionally you will see native-language variable and function names. This is much more common in Latin character set languages (especially among Spanish and Portuguese speakers) in my experience; almost all Chinese code seems to use approximately-English variable and function names.
It's pathogenic yeasts that really drive the whole thing, and milk inflames the immune response. The trick with COVID is to take melatonin during and after it. Gut health is a longer journey as leaky gut takes awhile to heal.
I’d rather get the bland polished version than the “I’m so silly/sarcastic/eccentric” version. Although ideally there’d be an AI setting that makes it both polished and terse.
Counterpoint - listing a lot of fixed bugs and stability issues just proves you had a lot of bugs and stability issues. It does not mean you fixed most of them, or that you did not introduce even more. And there are a lot of very old problems in the game to this day. They prioritize adding new stuff like every other game developer. And really, publicly available satisfaction scores are a terrible way to measure actual quality. They're easily manipulated social fora subject to peer pressure and trends, dominated by kids with loud voices, favoring quick overly-simplified impressions, not well-designed measurement and analysis tools.
The nyt disclosure on this reporting is about to be wild
I've had "stable" distributions fall over upgrading between their major versions.

But you missed the point that Android's system image is immutable and updates are atomic. A user can't screw it up. This is not an insignificant feature, and it's something you also get with something like Fedora Silverblue. Which then also doesn't let you pick and choose what updates to get.
Generally, all of these (except sometimes calibration) are done on a weekly/monthly basis for testing fleets. Software updates and diagnostic reads can be automatic, but in practice there's enough moving parts that they require fairly regular intervention for safe operation. Legal reporting is not automatic currently. Tesla implemented that for their ADAS solutions and has been repeatedly grilled by NHTSA on their incomplete reporting. All of the commercial fleets implement reporting semi-manually because of the existential danger getting it wrong represents.
I'm assuming if you are getting let's you are in violation of TOS you agreed to.

Advocacy aside, the solution is to not. I know a lot of people can't pick another provider but at the same time they probably didn't need what they were torrenting...

Now do I think what I do with my internet is my problem and my ISP can go f themselves. Yes, but I'm also in the privileged position to have many options and quite a few have the "its your internet connection, we will inform you about throttling if we have a technical reason, also if the police asks we are compelled by law to do x"

A VPN does not solve your problem and isn't advocacy, it's at best bootlegging.
I'll reply to myself since the parent comment is unalived.

I am not trying to generate a phylogenetic tree of cloud services, but show organizational shift that allowed Amazon (the whole company) to be successful by enforcing cell walls.

We would agree that Amazon is a services platform? Both in retail as well as cloud?

GCP itself is an application that rides on Borg, but Google itself does not use GCP. So it never got the recursive self improvement effect that Amazon did.

There are multiple types of CPI because they measure different things, and they each have pluses and minuses.

The reason why Core CPI is useful is illustrated by the orange and blue lines in the first graph:

* https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/2587/inflation/difference...

Good luck trying to policy with the orange (non-Core, which has food and energy) line. Or the red line in Chart 1 of:

Food and energy are heavily dependent on commodity prices, which can swing widely: one month the Fed would be cutting by 3% and the very next month raising by 4% if they followed non-Core CPI (versus PCE).

That's great to hear that direct-to-watch pairing leads to a reliable reading. That's a big improvement over where things were a year ago. I am surprised that the watch becomes the primary sync device instead of the phone, but maybe that's not actually a problem in most situations.

That said you can still provide terms to access the tool, IIRC midjourney allows creators to own their content but also forces them to license it back to midjourney for advertising. Prompts too from memory.
That ad was a two-page spread in printed magazines. The extra spacing was to account for the binding not laying flat.
Some academic projects have a lot of funding and what they are researching is some top tier stuff.

But the software? Absolute disaster.

When people say DeepSeek is a side project, this is what I assume they mean. It's different when a bunch of software engineers make something with terrible security because it's their main job. With bunch of academics (and no offense to academics), software is not their main job. You could be working on teaching them how to use version control.

> it's pretty impossible to deliberately call it Super Mario in 2013 and not know you're intentionally free-riding.

The article says "But despite trading under the Super Mario name for decades" which seems to imply that 2013 was just when they registered the trademark, not when they originally named the supermarket

Also it may be the case that supermarkets are commonly named "Super (name)" there although I can't confirm that.

I would be curious when exactly the supermarket was named "Super Mario" though.
Thank you for not doing that.
Private networking for internal things like databases has been the standard best practice for a long, long time.
Mullvad are the 'good VPN provider'.

They make an effort to store as little customer info as possible, including getting rid of subscriptions to reduce payment information they have to keep [1]. Despite subscriptions being a great way of getting consistent revenue.

As well as card, they allow payment in cash, crypto and quite a few others.

They have open source clients and are one of few providers with an official client on F-Droid.

They don't try to lock you in for years. It's €5 per month no matter how long you pay for.

They have regular external audits. [2]

If you read their website you'll find they focus on privacy rather than 'watching TV while you're on holiday'. [3][4]

Mozilla use Mullvad for Firefox VPN. Tailscale have partnered with Mullvad. [5]

RAOP Discover is currently at the point «It just works until it doesn't» (like most things zeroconf). Behaves fairly reliably in my experience if you don't mind some latency.

There's a time and place for everything.

I find that this style of programming is super useful in the technical design phase. During development I prefer to have a plan in place.
Correct, as I stated the government is just giving their 'blessing'.
If you want to pick apart my hastily concocted examples, well, have fun I guess. My overall point is that ensuring data quality is something OpenAI is probably very good at. They likely have many clever techniques, some of which we could guess at, some of which would surprise us, all of which they’ve validated through extensive testing including with adversarial data.

If people want to keep playing pretend that their data poisoning efforts are causing real pain to OpenAI, they’re free to do so. I suppose it makes people feel good, and no one’s getting hurt here.
Reddit comment moment.
I got it about a month ago. I think it is janky. Everything about the controls, movement, camera is ... well it doesn't seem solid/decent.

Maybe there's some sort of control-remapping or config file tweaks that can make it more tolerable.
I agree, but it's still better, and there's an unusually clear-cut natural experiment to prove it: East and West Germany after WWII.

There is definitely evidence of shoe shortages in the Soviet Union - enough that it's a running joke.

I'm not sure if there will be better evidence, given the USSR's propensity to pad their stats.

I think in many countries you’d be better off reaching out to a consumer protection-specific agency or tribunal, making sure to cc the vendor or manufacturer. For instance, in the United States, you could contact the Federal Trade Commission or your state’s attorney general, or potentially file a case in small claims court if the matter isn’t quickly resolved.

You might get a better response from regulators if you wait until you do have issues getting a refund, but that probably also between jurisdictions. Good luck!
If OpenAI desires public protection, then OpenAI should open-source its models.

I think not "zombie", but rather, "mature". Which is almost as bad from the point of view of people who bought their stock thinking it was still a growth stock.

Their user base can't get much bigger, they haven't ever really had a hit product after the first one, and they have a record of pouring billions into things (like AR) that never pay off.

Now, they have done ok with buying other companies and keeping them running (Instagram), which to be fair lots of tech companies have failed at. So I don't think they're a zombie. But they may be something more like IBM, Cisco, or Oracle; a mature tech company that will go up and down, but whose big growth days are behind it.
Which was originally the open exposed mongo server, then mysql/phpmyadmin, then exposed ftp, and then exposed telnet.
That's what I am gathering as well. Where is OpenAI going to have substantial proof to claim that their outputs were used ?

The reasoning prompts and answers for SFT from V3 you mean ? No idea. For that matter you have no idea where OpenAI got this data from either. If they open this can of worms, their can of worms will be opened as well.
Before Unreal there was RenderWare. Usually you choose between making an engine and making a game. And why not if its covers most of your use cases. But games like this are still being made, see Animal Well.
Until I can run frontier models locally on modest hardware, the hardware race will continue.

It’s kind of like when 3d graphics came out. We all kind of knew ‘the graphics are good, but not there yet’.

Eventually it does get to Crysis level graphics, and we all take a breather. But then it starts up again with Unreal 5 engine. We will get to photorealistic even if takes a 1000 years.

Same goes for AGI.
From memory, rustup ended up creating a worker for closing handles, to avoid dealing with Windows Defender. So it can be a valid approach.

Though, cosmo might then run into Windows not being happy with two things attempting to open the same file, if the programmer then attempts to reopen the file. You could do some logic that cancels closing in the thread, and re-hands the handle to the user if the handle still exists, but that might be a little fragile.

To be honest... There may not actually be a good answer that works 100% of the time. Working around the platform might introduce race conditions you absolutely don't want.
FWIW, I think one possible hook would be to package up "training and deploying model on site" into a product - because after Azure, GCP and AWS, the next set of players best-positioned to make use of cheap frontier model training are... the very enterprise customers who would buy from aforementioned cloud providers instead of doing it themselves. Simplifying internal deployments could convince at least some of them to pay you instead of the Big Cloud.
>The corporate world generally resembles Soviet culture a lot to me.

that is the Marx's law from Das Kapital which in modern language can be stated as "the larger the entropy of the ownership distribution - the more socialism inside". The smallest entropy - one owner, classic capitalism, the largest - everything belongs to everybody, ie. government property, the socialist state, etc. The large publicly owned corporations are more toward the large entropy values, thus a lot of socialism inside.

Modified vehicles can be completely reliable if you do it sensibly. More reliable, even, than factory. While the IDI 1HZ isn't the most optimal platform, I'm building my engine with 1HD-T rods aftermarket upgraded pistons which have proven successful in many other 1HZ-T builds. At the conservative no smoke 20psi tune I plan to run I'm confident it'll be fine, and I'll run a temp sensor in the head, EGT, and A/F meters to be sure. I'm using an efficient turbo (HX-30) with a massive FMIC. I'm building the A442F with upgraded valve body and torque converter, as well as a proven standalone controller. Running a large A/A transmission cooler as well. I'm not worried about reliability. I've also done a bunch of this stuff in other vehicles in the past and learned what works and what doesn't.

One thing I'm super excited to play with on this build is an exhaust brake. The transmission controller I plan to use will accept shift and TC lockup requests via CAN, so I'm planning on using a microcontroller to act as my "engine brake ECU" which will request downshifts, TC lockup, and increased line pressure when the brake is engaged. It'll also handle low speed shutoff. When the brake is disengaged it'll actuate the TV cable (using an extra cruise actuator and some power circuitry to run it) proportionately to boost. I'm not against computers in automotive projects in principle, I just don't much like ones I can't control.

Can't get an exhaust brake in a Grenadier, btw.
Packaging is not trivial. I don't think either of those companies has been near the frontier for packaging in ... more than a decade? Two decades? This would be something where it would take a lot of time and throwing away badly packaged wafers to create the experience necessary. TSMC is probably better off doing it themselves in a new build versus working with partners who are so far from their level.
What a load of shit. ClosedAI is publishing a hit piece on DeepSeek and get public and politicians on their side. Maybe even get government to do their dirty work.

If they had a case, they wouldn’t be using FT. They would be filing a court case. Although that would open them up to discovery and the nasty shit ClosedAI has been up to would be game.
Grab an AI model and keep going.

And back to the topic at hand, the de-biased model was less accurate when given unambiguous prompts. In order to avoid being perceived as bias, the de-biased model was less like to say that an elderly person was forgetful even when the prompt unambiguously indicates that the elderly person was forgetful. This is covered in the "Bias Unlearning Results" section. They made the model less likely to give the "biased" answer, even when the prompt indicated that it was the correct answer.
