Of course, then we have groups like 'The United States of America', which has been at war basically every single hour in the last 100 years, and seems to be doing just right. At some point, you become powerful enough so that infrastructure does not help against you anymore (and may even become a liability: The conflicts the US does the worst in is wherever guerrilla warfare is waged, not where there are highways and telecommunication networks).

> I wonder how long they’ll maintain manifest v2 compatibility.

https://brave.com/blog/brave-shields-manifest-v3/

They are going to keep it enabled until google removes the code from chromium in June. Then it sounds like they are going to try to use other means to offer "limited MV2 support" but there are some issues, including the fact that they don't have their own extension store (and presumably the chrome one won't allow mv2 extensions to be updated) so I'm not sure to what degree that will actually work.
For calculator obviously Cmd-1/2/3 for the different modes but when you're in programmer mode 'R' changes the base (8/10/16)
Seems unwise. I'd at least try to sell it instead. It's a very popular brand still. You don't just "kill" things like that - brands are very difficult to build.
Replying to myself:

Good news: there's a command under the Finder menu (to the left of File) "Empty Trash..."

Bad news: there's no obvious easy way to view the contents of the Trash before emptying it, without clicking on it in the dock. It's not under "Go", you can't add it to the sidebar either with Settings or by dragging it, and various instructions to navigate to "~/.Trash" don't work in Sequoia.

Good news: But you can add it to the sidebar by opening the Trash and using File > Add to Sidebar. And it shows up with its nice custom trash icon.
Portugal seems to legally distinguish between distributors and consumers just fine.

Perhaps there's some weight to the idea that demonization of distributors harms consumers—but this doesn't seem to be an ideological barrier between being aware of the harms to users and the obvious economic boon of taking advantage of regulation to exploit the market advantage.
At my job we treat all warnings as errors and you can't merge your pull requests unless all automatically triggered CI pipelines pass. It requires discipline, but once you get it into that state it's a lot easier to keep it there.

Sounds like what we used to call "professionalism." That was before "move fast, break things and blame the user" became the norm.
Could be many other reasons, giving it more CPU won't necessarily increase the read rate.
I'm not a game dev, but I might suggest that for some supplementary learning, you could try to build and tweak the recently released source code for the Command and Conquer series. Could then learn how some things are made and try to replicate them conceptually in another language or platform.
Mass surveillance was easier when anyone, including the NSA, could run a supernode. Microsoft had to run its own supernodes because usage changed from most people running Skype on desktops, which could be supernodes, to most people running Skype on phones, which can't. At that point, it hardly makes sense to push new supernode functionality for multiparty video calls and other optimizations to end users to handle a small fraction of calls when updating your own servers is much easier.

WebRTC will happily set up a P2P video call with better encryption than the old Skype had if all you need is a 1-1 call without NAT traversal.

The Ruby concurrency story is fine, the problem is parallelism. I have a whole list of posts about all that.

My post is to be read primarily in the context of Ruby, as the intro clearly explains it. I'm not the one who posted it here, it really isn't intended for the HN audience. I would never submit my posts here.

Many of my points are more general than just Ruby-centric, but yes, if your stack of choice have very good support for HTTP/2 I'm not saying not to use it in your DC.

My point is that as a Ruby user, there isn't much reason to lament over the lack of HTTP/2 support in Puma or some other servers.
The relevance to me is that markov chains are a remarkable way to explain why LLMs are both useful and very unreliable.

There's a lot of great advice in this thread. My take, after 30 years in the industry and stubbing my toe a lot:

1. Make as many small games as possible, but also mod as many games as possible and/or take existing games and tweak/twist them in a bunch of interesting ways. You'll explore some interesting design space without having to build everything from scratch.

2. Show your games off to friendly colleagues/other devs early and often. Earlier than you're ready for (because we're never quite ready!), and in person, if possible. Ask them what they'd do next, if they started with the game you just showed them. Most game devs at a physical community event want you to succeed, and are good at saying, "I'd do XYZ next." You don't have to listen to them, but if you do that enough, you'll get a good picture of how others see your work.

3. Whether you agree with them or not, be aware that GenAI is a sensitive topic for many game devs. Your Reddit post, if I'm seeing the right one, says "AI-powered browser game," which will be strongly divisive. I'd just focus on finding out what people like/dislike about gameplay, as that seems to be what you're looking for feedback on.

4. Design books are good, but I actually think they're an advanced maneuver. This is personal experience only, so take with a grain of salt, but I tend to kinda navel gaze and design-bible a project to death if I'm reading things too early in the process. So, if you've already digested Schell's book, I don't think you need to read a pile more yet.

5. Play as many games as possible, in the area of design you're interested in working. You'll see how people do stuff, you'll avoid making some obvious mistakes, and you'll get a bunch of ideas for stuff that devs aren't doing, that you could try.

Gamedev is tough but fun, and I wish you the best of luck!

From what I understand from here (I live in the Netherlands), handing over your data to US-based companies has been uncertain in terms of privacy for a long time. The US appears to have a lot less privacy protections, and a lot more allowances for the government to access company and user data (especially when non-US persons are involved).

This makes it hard for US-companies handling data of EU citizens to comply with EU privacy regulations. Some legal provisions have been made to facilitate this, but, to answer your question, what changed recently is that the Trump administration recently effectively incapacitated the "Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board" that was central to these legal provisions.

Above is my interpretation of matters, for a large part based on posts by a Dutch expert in these matters, Bert Hubert. In particular see this post: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/you-can-no-longer-base-you... and this news article it links to: https://noyb.eu/en/us-cloud-soon-illegal-trump-punches-first...

Firefox was the last bastion of freedom on the internet and the replacements aren't ready.

> But do you think these can be a full browser replacement without extension ecosystems like ublock origin et al.?

I'm now actually trying to use qutebrowser as a replacement... it's not easy due to the lack of extensions, but mitigating factors are:

1. it has integrated adblock (though no cosmetic filtering)
2. there are userscripts to integrate with the Bitwarden CLI or a running instance of KeepassXC.
In the soup story the villagers freely gave up their carrots and onions and the travelers didn't give any guarantees that they wouldn't be consumed.

In the AI analogy, it is a bit closer in my mind if the travelers would say "Don't worry your onions and carrots and garnishes won't be consumed by us! Put them in the pot and we will strain them out, they are still yours to keep!"

We, the villagers, are dumping our data into the AI soup with a promise that it won't be used when we are using the API or check a little "private mode" box.

Having said that, there's some very recent research to suggest that memories / neuronal weights are actually encoded directly in neuronal DNA.

(this does not mean that this DNA is directly heritable, since it does not necessarily end up in the gametes, but it is still interesting that, yes, in fact, it involves DNA change)
Really? I don't remember that. When was the last example?

> we don’t really care about the human cost

Humanity risks a global return to a state of gleeful cruelty. "Lupus est homo homini". [1]

The well-being of people is a characteristic of successful society. And labour is fundamentally valuable. For those who seek economic pre-eminence, it makes perfect sense to invest in the people doing the work.

However, there are narrow-minded groups and individuals who see another equation: put workers in an exploitable condition and keep them in such condition over generations. Wars have been fought to preserve the investment in maintaining such conditions.

Labour is valuable, but the individual cost in human life is usually dismissed through demagogy and populism. We had broken the historical cycle of misery, but we now risk the achievements of our civilisation.

Not many safeguards for that under unitary executive theory which is likely to become case law soon. Aside from impeachment.
More competition is good though - people are just going to be much more picky and if your content is not distinguishable from AI slop then it deservedly will perish.
1. Never test a game in large public venues. You’re just asking to get annihilated. Find five experienced gamers that love to alpha test and provide high quality feedback. Iterate this process until all five are excited about the game. Then test with 20 more. Iterate again. When you have something 100 testers like/live, you’re ready for Reddit.

Learn to read code, deconstruct cool ideas in other games. Plenty of open source code to scour.

Mechanics are often systemic, so think like that. Instead of thinking about one off scenes, think how you can make foundational mechanics that you can build a story from.

Story: try making some story games in Twine or Inform just to learn how to engage the player through strict storytelling. This maps to your use of a base mechanics system.

You should love your own ideas more than anyone else, so only seek validation from yourself.
My day-to-day computers have always been Macs. My use of Windows has been relegated to occasional specific devices, like a TabletPC sketchbook or a 3D workstation. I don't think I'd touched Windows in more than a dozen years when I got a gaming handheld last year.

It asked me for a Microsoft account (which I presumed I didn't have) or Skype. I took a guess at my old Skype credentials and proceeded with setup. I was both surprised and upset to discover that by username on the device was a 5 character truncation of my old Skype handle.
They really should do a clean slate OS where native apps are all C# and legacy stuff is run in a VM. An ARM Xbox would also help develop a gaming ecosystem without the massive legacy concerns.
> the auto industry can't seem to compete with tesla and make a good and profitable EV. They've had a decade to figure it out, so where are they?

This talking point is 5 years old. As of 2022, legacy auto has matched Tesla in enough respects to be worthy competitors. Sure Tesla's electronics are a bit better, but in terms of being a good car, other manufacturers have Tesla beat.
An open index of the web is an interesting idea that I've heard come up a few times now. Putting ever page into a one of 200 categories would be a pretty interesting undertaking. You'd probs need to fund it by "grants" or something from AI companies though...

One thing I feel is getting clear for me is that we often think about this problem from a "how to solve it to make it stay open" POV, but what the user ex and thus the product you are making is unclear. If you made this index, the product would be the data and so you'd be push to selling there. What is the product an end user like ourselves would pay for that helps? RSS feed readers seem to be the genearl suggestion so far of what we have today.

The user base is what’s valuable, and Microsoft wants them moving to Teams. Selling it would undermine that since they would lose the users.
Boosting the ISO will increase noise, but it won't have any effect on focus. Of course, low light means a wider aperture and a shallow depth of field, but as long as the subject is right at the focal distance, that won't matter much either. There is definitely visible noise, but you nailed the focus.
Adopting this perspective would improve the quality of efforts around this technology. Instead of thinking of it as somehow creating an "intelligence", seeing it as a complex lens on the training data that is controlled by the prompt helps you understand that the output isn't generated by the model, but by people. And various existing pieces of human effort are brought into focus and collimated by nudging the lens in different directions with a "prompt". The user then gives those pieces meaning and determines whether the result is useful or not.

This makes certain things more clear: notions of "truth" are not in play beyond statistical happenstance, certain efforts to make outputs uniform are more trouble than they're worth, and valuable use cases are strongly correlated with the ability and convenience of the user to confirm the usefulness of the result.
That was great :)
The ones that struggle had pre-existing issues :

Today I moved from Firefox & DuckDuckGo to Orion + Kagi.

After 21 years of Firefox, that was rather bitter goodbye moment.
For me it was seeing a machine at 70% utilization and thinking they could squeeze another small service onto the box. The first time it didn’t sound right, and after that I knew it was a bad idea. By the third time I was willing to throw a veto if they wouldn’t listen to reason.

And the thing is, even if you stuff a low priority service onto a bunch of boxes, and convince the OS to honor that priority fairly, the fact that the service runs reasonably at all gets baked in as an expectation. Maybe it’s the hedonic treadmill, one kid expects dessert with every meal because they’ve always gotten it, and another knows it’s a special occasion. But anything given is jealously guarded when you have to take it away. Even a “best effort” batch process that is supposed to finish on some interval, is missed when it no longer does. And somehow it’s always your fault.

I’m sure the grocery store employees who are assigned as backup tellers constantly get grief for not getting their other tasks done “on time”.
Same on Firefox on mobile.

Promissory estoppel maybe? Stronger case for it if you ever paid them for anything after this promise.
Your comment is logically fallacious. Instead of addressing the substance of their argument you attack a straw man because their opinion doesn't align with yours. The fact that it isn't one extreme or the other is of no consequence to its validity; your dislike for it is based strictly on its nuance, not whether it holds up, and that makes no sense. They even capitulated by saying

What are the effective marketing channels for specialized/niche B2B companies these days, now that - presumably - the long tail search result strategy is no longer effective?

A friend of mine was telling me that his company was very pleased when they were able to ask ChatGPT "what is the best SaaS for X?" where X = their niche, and their company was the first thing it recommended. It surprised me that this was a thing, although in hindsight, it's obvious.

On the flip side, I still have situations where I ask, "what's the best solution for X" and the answer is a company (or Github repo or whatever) that has been entirely hallucinated or was around ten years ago and not any more or something.

I guess a corollary question is, are there methods (i.e. the chatbot version of SEO) to get your company into chatbot recommendations?

The other thing is don't catch and ignore exceptions. Even "catch and log" is a bad idea unless you specifically know that program execution is safe to continue. Just let the exception propagate up to where something useful can be done, like return 500 or displaying an error dialog.

The thesis appears to be that the CEOs are hoodwinking the populace in to giving up their cultural wealth to build proprietary systems.
