Can you be more specific? I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to.

> And yes, I absolutely believe that saying Nintendo and Sony are allowed to make a locked down device, but Apple is not, is an arbitrary double standard, setting up a potential legal victory for Apple.

What are you replying to? I didn't make any such claim in my comment. I wasn't defending the console business model, just explaining how it came about, which is very different from most computing platforms.

I thought Firefox sync and VPN was end to end encrypted.

That is a far bigger wtf than dumb unenforceable tos text.
OK, but if the debt was the actual issue of concern, then we certainly wouldn't be cutting taxes (income) at the same time, would we?
This works great for toy examples and fails the moment you have 1 (one) module
I think survivor bias is at play here. C&C had many sequels, ports, expansion packs that helped make it popular. So of course it had nice code, otherwise we wouldn't have seen such a wide berth of reuse for that code.
Yeah, Ishiba definitely needs to work on his Japanese language skills.

The “Trump is the lesser evil” camp has got to be tiny. Trump overwhelmingly won the primary and something like 84% percent of republicans give Trump a favorable approval rating in polls this month.

I’m confused as ever, but republicans love Trump.
A. Unlocked devices foster piracy. Piracy is also the biggest reason people complain about locked down devices and game consoles. It is also a fact that a pirated binary, stripped of identifying information, becomes easy to sideload.

B. The law makes no distinction between a game console and a computing platform, nor should it. There is also no such thing legally as a “general purpose computer” like I’ve seen some people try to define iPads as, so as to somehow justify iPad sideloading but not Switch sideloading.

C. I don’t buy the 30% cut argument, because we have a counter example: Steam on PC. How many companies sell their games directly outside of Steam? How many give you a 25% discount on top of that? Nobody.
Andreas Kling is pouring his attention into this. He's a grit elemental. I believe he will accomplish this no matter how many people tell him it's a doomed effort, impossible, whatever. What happens in the longer term depends on if enough people value what he and his team does.

Looking at what FF has recently decided about selling out its users, I think demand will catalyze.
Does anyone know if there’s a benefit to porting this to an orchestrator like K8s, maybe overkill for training but the KVCache might be useful when having multiple replicas for inference?
Outside of all this culture war stuff, on a much more tangible subject, I guarantee you that for the money they sank in their flashy Paris headquarters[1,2] (thousands of m² in one of the fanciest areas), they could have paid for hundreds of man-years in very decent French engineers wages.

Let's be honest, they just spent the Google money like if there was no tomorrow, and an individual that won't even see from afar that much money in my whole life, I won't be donating to save them from their pitiful financial choices.

Red Hatter since 2016, first in Consulting, now in Sales.

Oh the “synergy” rocket chat channel we had back then…

Things have been changing, for sure. So has the industry. So have our customers. By and large, Red Hatters on the ground have fought hard to preserve the culture. I have many friends across Red Hat, many that transitioned to IBM (Storage, some Middleware). Folks still love being a part of Red Hat.

On the topic of ridiculous expectations…there’s some. But Red Hatters generally figure out how to do ridiculous things like run the internet on open source software.
I’ve always wondered why there isn’t a “SQLite for graphs,” so to speak. Is there something about how they have to be stored that precludes an in-process solution with disk-based storage?

Yep. Enter The Gungeon is my personal favourite among roguelites but it's punishingly hard to get the hang of, and the huge number of weapons makes it quite likely that you'll only get semi-decent guns for an entire run – even when you're playing as the Gunslinger, who activates all synergies automatically.

The upside of putting in the time is that when you get good, it feels fantastic.

If you haven't tried it, I'd recommend Dead Cells. Yes, it's twitchy action, but it's easier than Gungeon to get good at, and the parkour-like flow looks and feels wonderful from quite early on. TBH it's a better game than Gungeon in most respects.

From Local to Global: How Mercari Japan Expanded to Taiwan in Just 8 Months
Hi, Mercari Japan expanded our c2c marketplace to Taiwan 6 months ago.
As Frontend lead of the project, I wrote about how we did it and some of my learning points. Hope people find it interesting <3

AMA anything about the project!
Note that any answers will from me and not representative of the company o(_ _)o
Really don’t understand what’s the use case for this. The o series models are better and cheaper. Sonnet 3.7 smokes it on coding. Deepseek R1 is free and does a better job than any of OAI’s free models
Don't worry they'll take credit for saving this
Mozilla has broken trust multiple times as well. If you don't trust Brave because of that, then how on earth are you trusting Mozilla?
Yep and don't forget ranching. Cattle graze on nearly all public land out west for practically free.
I usually throw a lot of context at it and have it write unit tests in a certain style or implement something (with tests) according to a spec.

But the o3-mini-high results have been just as good.

I am fine with Deep Research taking 5-8 minutes, those are usually "reports" I can read whenever.
OC remains superior for power users. For example, if you fly a lot, offline mode barely works on New Outlook, but is rock solid on Classic. In day to day use, the density of emails and other information on the screen is far higher in OC than New, and no amount of tweaking the view density can get New close to OC.

Classic also supports really powerful programmability, such as forms and custom views, and although I accept that the golden age of MAPI has long passed, its a shame that nothing in New comes close.

However, that speaks to Microsoft and their vision for what they call Modern Work. In this vision, it is Teams that is the center of the universe. Teams is the thing that gets the platform treatment with plug-ins and apps and polish. Outlook is relegated to something the old business people use, and as the generations shift from writing long form messages to thinking anything over a paragraph is tl;dr, I can see Outlook dying off in a few years.
it would get rid of babel immediately and the billions of hours of transpile time spent across the planet by people converting ts into js. You ll be able to run ts natively without transpilation across every major browser
Still today, I tend to increase my motivation of writing unit tests by using some non-serious names and strings in the tests.
So they made Claude that knows a bit more.
Wonder how Readwise is managing what they do -- really hope they don't get shut down.
yeah, transparent like lead.
They actually have [0]. They were revealed to have had access to the (majority of the) frontierMath problemset while everybody thought the problemset was confidential, and published benchmarks for their o3 models on the presumption that they didn't. I mean one is free to trust their "verbal agreement" that they did not train their models on that, but access they did have and it was not revealed until much later.

So, what is the practical TL;DR for everyone who isn't neither an employee nor investor? Hashicorp kinda made a lot of significant stuff, but that stuff is mostly FOSS and the commercial product is very niche. I am kinda surprised IBM even bought it, because it isn't very clear to me, how commercializeable this stuff is. So what does it mean? Will IBM most likely kill some FOSS products? Is this even possible? Were, say, terraform or nomad developed mostly by internal devs, or is there a solid enough community already to keep up with development or simply fork the tool if things go south?
Indeed, I would appreciate if the title were updated to reflect that the subjects were mice, not humans. It’s a bit misleading.
Because when there is a monopoly, you are at the whims of the people that control it.
I suspect people downvote you because the tone of your reply makes it seem like you are personally offended and are now firing back with equally unfounded attacks like a straight up "you are lying".

I read the article but can't find the numbers you are referencing. Maybe there's some paper linked I should be looking at? The only numbers I see are from the SimpleQA chart, which are 37.1% vs 61.8% hallucination rate. That's nice but considering the price increase, is it really that impressive? Also, an often repeated criticism is that relying on known benchmarks is "gaming the numbers" and that the real world hallucination rate could very well be higher.

Lastly, the themselves say:
> We also expect it to hallucinate less.

That's a fairly neutral statement for a press release. If they were convinced that the reduced hallucination rate is the killer feature that sets this model apart from the competition, they surely would have emphasized that more?

All in all I can understand why people would react with some mocking replies to this.
I want to entertain you but use a caps lock and some punctuation from time to time. It gives your comments more credence.
> there is no reason why Mozilla would need to know about this.

Precisely. That's why it's not covered by the license.
Look at what they are ACTUALLY doing:

https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b...

The change removing "Does Firefox sell your personal data? Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise." makes it pretty clear that the intention in the changes is NOT just covering their bums for using your input to provide the webpage you wanted. They are positioning to sell your personal data.

That promise to never have, never will sell your personal data was highly valued by many Firefox users and Mozilla must be pretty desperate to break it.Particularly given online privacy is suddenly crucial for many out-groups in the US - and pretty much everyone outside the US. The biggest marketing opportunity for years just landed in Mozilla's lap, and they spilled it.
I was a young teen when Command & Conquer came out. It was so damn cool. Westwood was at their peak: they made hit after hit after hit. The Kyrandia point & click series. The Eye of the Beholder series. Lands of Lore. Dune II. Everything they made was gold.

They came in and made an RTS when we didn't have a term for this. It had a cool, modern soundtrack. It had a cool world and a story fleshed out in high production value FMV. Cutting edge CGI.

We all know how Westwood died. Then the series had disappointing sequels, and a sad mobile title, and it all died until the remaster. The remaster felt like a well-executed effort, and a way to enjoy the classics on modern systems.

Today's release of the source code is so exciting. A recognition that C&C is worth preserving. That its community is still excited for it. It allows the series to live on forever. For fans to go crazy. For all sorts of mods and tweaks to be enjoyed on Steam.

It finally feels like after a decade and a half, C&C has a future. No longer a great old RTS, but one that has lots of excellent campaigns available on modern systems, moddable, and evergreen.

Battle control... online :)

Overruling the world's premier phone-maker on questions of how to design a phone is not improving society. I'm giving Apple money specifically because they designed the phone. I don't want the EU trying to figure it out; they have a reverse-midas touch. Things touch ends up slumping. It is a very salient point that the reason they are issuing orders to a US company is because they "helped" all the EU companies make decisions until they were effectively forced out of the market with failed tech policies.

If you want a phone built by someone who doesn't know how to design a phone, I'm sure there are already lots of tiny and irrelevant players already in the EU that you can patronise. The phone probably won't be particularly good though, evidenced by the fact that most people with a choice prefer to let Apple make all the decisions. Or various Asian groups who have a knack for tech.
All these redhatters talking like centos isnt dead. Like wtf, the Kool aid must taste good.
You can always just ignore the spec, if you have a big enough market share.
Lol. I tried. Went to several classes and somehow still never learned to play. I can't tell if all the structure and complexity is worth the extra headache compared to games like Spades or other bidding/trick games. I have heard that it's supposedly by far the best there is though, so perhaps I should try again. I do play Texas 42, which is kind of like bridge with dominos. It's wildly popular in Texas, but hasn't reached much further. There's a lot of strategy to the bidding, but I'm not sure how closely it ranks to Bridge.
Are you trying to say that the efforts to reduce the deficit are a circus, designed to get us riled up and entertained, so we don't notice the absolute dismantling of proper constitutional procedure so that billionaires pay lower taxes? Whaaat? That can't be possible!
https://www.hillelwayne.com/post/graph-types/ gives an interesting take on why we don't see a graph type as a primitive on more programming languages. Essentially boils down to graphs being very vague and depending on the topology of your graphs you are going to want different implementations for reasonable efficiency.

That said, there are graph databases.
> So, engage me on the substance.

He gave you constructive criticism about the form, specifically the ways in which your form makes it overly difficult to engage with you.

Generally for QM entanglement experiments you can't interpret the result without the measurements from both sides. So while you might be able to demonstrate after the fact that impacts on the state of the system propagated faster than light, you will not be able to make use of that FTL propagation in any directly useful manner.

I don't understand what the issue is with that change in wording. They seem to indicate that nothing has changed as far as privacy and personal data is concerned.

I can't speak for game consoles, but this is absolutely false with regard to iPhone lockdown.

Believe me, I would bet $1000 right now, that if unfettered IPA installation was added to iPhone, piracy would be more than 90% of installs. Some game developers have experienced as high as 98% piracy rates on Android through APK sideloading.

Why do you think mobile games are so full of ads? In part, because ads stick around and are profitable, no matter where you got your app. As long as sideloading files is so heavily connected to piracy, we’ll be lucky to see alternative app stores, but never direct installation on iOS.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/5hozvo/absolutely_...
It's not that everyone will lower their prices... it's that in the past they already raised them. In 2023, if you calculated that you need to make $3 per install to be profitable, you'd have to raise that number by 43%* to account for Apple's cut. And if you don't think users will pay 43% more, then the app will just never get made.

Who knows whether or not current apps will have their prices lowered, but it would be better if in the future, new apps are not priced 43% higher than they would have been, like all the current ones.

* 1/(1-0.30) = 1.43
In the Glorious Future, is it going to be impossible to use proprietary software without an internet connection?

That is, does every piece of hardware we own become (vehicles, appliances, computers, accessories, &c) a spyware vector?
Yeah, I can explain.

Prison in the US is much worse than prison in Mexico, particularly if you're wealthy. No special privileges up there.

Also, they won't be able to run things from there.

And the US government will get a ton of valuable information from "interviewing" them.

Multiply that x 29 and you'll see how this is a massive win.
The text leaves way too much up for shady interpretation. At that point I might as well fully switch to Chrome, even at home. Privacy was the single last reason for sticking with firefox, and these terms do not sound like privacy anymore.
Even a dead simple two-layer neural network is a universal approximator. Meaning they can model any relationship, given enough neurons in the first layer. with as much accuracy as you want, subject to available resources for training time and model size.

Specific deep learning architectures and training variants reflect the problems they are solving, speeding up training, and reducing model sizes considerably. Both keep getting better, so efficiency improvements are not likely to plateau anytime soon.

They readily handle both statistically driven and pattern driven mappings in the data. Most modelling systems tend to be better or exclusively adaptive on one of those dimensions or the other.

Learning patterns means they don't just go input->prediction. They learn to recognize and apply relationships in the middle. So when people say they are "just" predictors, that tends to be misleading. They end up predicting, but they will do whatever they need to in between in terms of processing information, in order to predict.

They can learn both hard or soft pattern boundaries. Discrete and continuous relationships. And static and sequential patterns.

They can be trained directly on example outputs, or indirectly via reinforcement (learning what kind of outputs will get judged well and generating those). Those are only two of many flexible training schemes.

All those benefits and more make them exceptionally general, flexible, powerful and efficient tools relative to other classes of universal approximators, for large growing areas of data defined problems.
Nope. It’s the best decision you’ll ever make. It’s pure propaganda that has absolutely no positive impact at all.
>Perhaps. But it seems to me that the changes that you'd need to make to fix such a bug are much the same changes that you'd need to make to port the code to Rust or what have you, since ultimately in either case you have to prove that the memory access is correct.

No, you wouldn't need to prove that the memory access is correct if you relied on hardware features. Or I should say, that proof will be mostly done by compiler and library writers who implement the low level stuff like array allocations. The net lines of code changed would definitely be less than a complete rewrite, and would not require rediscovery of specifications that normally has to happen in the course of a rewrite.

>Indeed I'd argue that an approach that lets you find these bugs at compile time rather than run time has a distinct advantage.

It is an advantage but it's not free. Every compilation takes longer in a more restrictive language. The benefits would rapidly diminish with the number of instances of the program that run tests, which is incidentally one metric that correlates positively with how significant bugs actually are. You could think of it as free unit tests, almost. The extra hardware does have a cost but that cost is WAAAY lower than the cost of a wholesale rewrite.
Why ? What do you know ?
> A big part of the reason I use Apple products is that they protect not only me, but my family who don't know what the implications of sideloading are.

All iPhones contain developer mode settings that can be activated with a little song and dance and compromise security. There is zero chance any of your relatives will accidentally turn off these settings if they are not actively looking to do so. Sideloading could easily be put under this mantle.

Potential counterargument:

"What if my nephew falls for some sideloading phish scam when trying to download hacks for COD mobile? Then he would be encouraged to follow any list of steps to compromise his security"

Response:

If someone is going that far out of the way to compromise themselves no amount of bubble wrap is going to fix it.

And yet these terms of service—for Firefox—specifically apply the AUP to “your use of Firefox,” no?

The entire AUP is prefixed “You may not use any of Mozilla’s services to:”. There’s nothing in the AUP that doesn’t refer to “Mozilla’s services.” When the Firefox TOS explicitly includes this AUP, how could it make sense unless they think of Firefox as one of their services?

At the risk of restating the gp’s quote:

> Your use of Firefox must follow Mozilla’s Acceptable Use Policy, and you agree that you will not use Firefox to infringe anyone’s rights or violate any applicable laws or regulations.
We have something similar in Postgres but IMO disconnectedness also plays a really big part in this whole calculation. We actually ended up just changing the transitive closure for fast operations (and simpler code).
Title is inaccurate. Mozilla get a nonexclusive license. That is different from ownership.

The license grant in these terms does not specify the license is irrevocable. The licensor, i.e., the Firefox user, reserves the right to revoke.
