The bigger issue is that he is likely now without a work visa and has to scramble to avoid deportation.

For those looking for closure, this case was litigated to the Supreme Court https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/supreme...
To my reading the house was destroyed in “mysterious” fire, and then demolished for use as a car park by the adjacent hotel. The court ruled that the hotel owner must pay replacement cost for the house.

I feel that you're really overselling the vulnerability of what is fundamentally a spec on a featureless ocean that can move at 50 km/h in any direction indefinitely. There's a pretty comprehensive summary of anti-carrier strategies in this series https://www.navalgazing.net/Carrier-Doom-Part-1

This is astoundingly cheap. In fact its too cheap, €10/month works out to €360 + €130 over a 3 year hardware cycle which is barely enough for a not-really-capable 4k GPU as it is, without costing all the additional services/hardware. And to put it bluntly, these games are second-rate titles from the last year. From this announcement I guess that this is mostly just another data farming play that will never generate a profit on its own and has a very high chance of being shutdown within 3 years.

I'm genuinely still unsure if this is a parody or not. The first half of the comic just describes Google's business model and the second seems to be trying to outsource the cost of G/TPUs to the end user. Then at the end they go bankrupt and (presumably) sell their control over the data to a vulture fund.
None of this addresses the fundamental problem of advertising companies, once people learn what they're doing they just want them to feck off and leave them alone, without any regard for future promises.

Most games can use loading screens to hide their "chunk lag", minecraft doesn't have that option.
Re:How to Train Your OpenAI Five

I’m intrigued by their “5k” with 25 hero mention. Are the bots worse because they have less proportional training time or because the extra hero abilities are making it more difficult to rely on their deathball strat? Considering how every public performance of openAI has shown nothing but relentless aggression Id speculate that it’s the latter.

No-one, not Spotify or the end user, has ever chosen to use the app store. Apple's vertical integration has banned all competition for iOS distribution and forced people to pay a 30% tariff top run code on their own machine.

The only solution is to never use third party recruiters, apply directly to the company.

My anecdata: I recently made a vim config, put it on GitHub, made a blog post, and posted it on Reddit. Googling the project description puts the reddit post on top with no mention of either of the others. DDG & Bing have the github on top followed immediately by the blog and reddit posts
