Intel has been the one tech stock most connected to reality. They had good plans and multiple admins trying to bring chips back to the US so they mooned, then they disappointed so they crashed. They're way closer to the phases of the moon than a casino.

Ink chemistry and color accuracy are much more difficult than what amounts to a small glue gun and some motors. And 3D printers only achieved high reliability on some pain points like bed adherence recently. Imagine if 30-50% of document prints just failed unless you sprayed glue on every piece of paper, even if your printers and filament are all new.

This isn't as simple as a Disney monorail. There can be many tracks, multiple routes can share some segments of track, trains can go from one track to another, tracks can be stacked on top of each other on some bridges and go inside tunnels so GPS/GNSS is insufficient, the train in front of you can stop for emergency, etc. It's like the aeronautical collision issue, but the tracks are in charge of determining and transmitting position.

>but their software is often seen as holding them back. A successful open-source CUDA port/decomp could devastate the AI pecking order.

This hypothesis is pretty outdated after the past two years. Vulkan and ROCm are pretty good, and some users do buy R9700 PROs and 7900s for local inference. But the improvement didn't result in everyone trading in their 5080s for 9070s or 7900s because, as it turns out, the hardware isn't actually much better with equal software.

No, because I can sell the games.

On the other hand, the Orange Box I bought from 2007 cannot be transferred in any way, even though the disc is in my hand and my account is in good standing. I think you guys have your priorities messed up.

They are tradeable and resellable which is a very important property for poorer gamers instead of rich collectors like us.

Edit: Switch 2 is also biggest proponent of SD Express. Any supporter of SD cards coming back to phones and other devices should appreciate the stance taken here. Nintendo could've gone the Google/Apple route and just sold 512GB and 1TB models. Instead this effort, like Sony's Xperia phones, are completely unrecognized.

In LA they make very subtle traffic infractions. For example, turning right onto the left lane of a two-lane road. But a third of human drivers probably don't know that it's not allowed and another third intentionally violate it.

That was inspired by the PS3 signing key PRNG. Sony Computer Entertainment, you have been redeemed.

As a sewist, when I sew things, it's also because the mass market doesn't make the exact thing I want. The software mass markets, both proprietary and open source ones, has also failed many consumers. The developers in Adobe tells me to pay $20/mo for PS, while the developers in GIMP takes 20 years to implement proper text outline. What is the point of enjoying how the software is made if people don't get to use it for what they want?

I think a significant percentage of puzzle game players, including me, are just predisposed to see Sokoban games as exhausting. The Witness (and Taiji) has a fairly limited search space so it can't be exhausting, but some Sokobans can involve running around the board for a dozen laps. It's the Rubik's Cube of puzzle games. I blame Stephen's Sausage Roll.

What a bizarre swipe. Countries don't necessarily post specific statistics like this so quickly and 2 years behind is actually pretty fast. And even though it took them 4-5 months to see the OECD numbers, Nikkei and Yomiuri seem to be the only two English language outfits reporting on this. They actually posted at around the same time many Chinese language outfits noticed.

For a long time I've avoided anthropomorphizing agents like this, but it really is hard to ignore the effectiveness of using them with human processes and systems. Are the processes (standup, sprint, etc.) effective because they are using our languages? Or are the processes just universally good?

The Other OS section should include TempleOS.

Maybe this is a minor issue, but it seems like different providers on OpenRouter etc. have different quant settings. I imagine that that affects the perception of the model quite a bit.

Can't speak for all of the projects, but tz is intentionally public domain.

The medium, as a place of social and political discussion, has a fundamental flaw in favoring people with more free time. Even if scoring doesn't exist, nothing stops people from just submitting more posts and comments.

We can take a field trip back to Fark to observe a forum that has always kept chronological sorting as its defaults. I peer in every now and then, and it doesn't seem like the discussions are any less fraught or the people are happier.

The tortoises have somehow outrun the hare because Safari still hasn't turned on progressive loading in libjxl (which had this feature since before Safari added the feature), while FF (non Android) and Chrome shipped with it enabled. The 3 year long chess clock is now flipped.

Merchandise point-of-sales tags isn't the only use of barcode or QR codes. Hospitals aren't going to start putting RFID for all equipment, files, and patients.

I don't discount the possibility, but I think part of it is that no one was interested in knowing how many resources normal computing costs. Any one of us who's worked on a video platform or cloud storage providers already knew how the sausage was made, but as long as it provided unlimited videos and photo storage, the public didn't care.

Though I do suspect that golf course owners in Arizona and alfalfa farmers in California must be ecstatic.

The marriage rates of these countries is not really the issue. Much of the remaining difference between East/Southeast Asia and the West is actually births out of wedlock, which the region still heavily stigmatizes.

As Singaporean commenters have said, I think this is more of a positive eugenics scheme.

I think finding bugs and ambiguities in the spec is actually the highest value thing anyone can do for W3C right now. 17 years after the first draft, we're still finding Flexbox Level 1 ambiguities, and this it still hasn't exited Candidate Recommendation (stage 2 out of 4).

Even my local dispensaries and strip clubs have the good manners to put business cards or postcards on the driver's side window. Some people just don't see wiper flyers until they start driving and get surprised by the flapping paper. Tell your sales guy to learn the etiquette first.

While he's a legend in Vita and PS4, he's also reported many PS4/PS5 exploits to Sony before [0] [1] so I'm not really sure what his point is.

>In the 1970 book The Harried Leisure Class, the Swedish economist Staffan Burenstam Linder wrote that as a society gets richer, leisure time takes on the frantic quality of work. As rich people feel like their downtime is scarce—as each non-working hour practically shouts, “excuse me! you could be making money, right now!” —the experience of leisure time speeds up.

I think this definitely applies to my friends and I. They could be working on their next DJ session at the club next month or their next TCG tournament deck/strategy, and I could be working on projects that go nowhere. So many hobbies are now just another form of work.

But I think driving and traffic is definitely another problem, especially in the US. No one wants to spend Thursday evening or Saturday 8am in traffic,

Since Twitch chat is just IRC, if we add up the chats of offline channels, it might be the most active IRC community today.

If they do then I hope there is an additional rule forcing the guardian to purchase an adjacent seat, so there's no risk of someone (me) being guilt tripped into swapping seats.

>fostering a clean & safe transit environment is practically a solved problem internationally.

In your opinion, what is that solution? If we take a survey of the highest ranked transit systems, it seems like most solutions involve not allowing drug users to use transit systems, whether it's the unthinkable in Asian countries or peppering the system with officers and cameras in Berlin and London. Is that really treating them with love?

Considering how much often I smell alcohol and weed in Waymos, maybe it's actually the most tolerant solution.

Browsers should've had tab groups decades ago, and bookmarks in a group should've gone into that group's corresponding bookmark folder by default. Voluntary tab groups use time at the user's convenience, while organizing bookmarks into folders tend to be a distraction or chore.

I've seen kiddies take advantage of homebrew developers to develop game piracy many times, but this is the first time I've seen kiddies do it to fix the exploit for the bug bounty. How the times have changed.

This does really seem like satire, but in case anyone wants to do this, most (all?) spine glue like PVA can typically be melted by a standard hairdryer. I find that method to be slightly more gentle.
