The Office of the Attorney General will continue to use every available legal mechanism, including writs of attachment against domain names, to enforce Texas law and ensure that no company, regardless of where it is incorporated, can profit from exposing Texas children to harmful content.

And Kick Online Entertainment S.A. appears to be incorporated in Luxembourg. The "S.A." is a mostly European thing, kind of like a "limited" company.

Le Guin refused a Nebula, and I think those are selected by member voting.

I think there were studies on this, leading to, among other things, painting control rooms seafoam green to reduce visual fatigue. This implies that people don't simply adjust (or that the studies were too limited).

Atlassian almost certainly has their own legal department, which calls its own shots (or rather isn't beholden to anyone below C-level).

Yeah, I've changed my evaluation. The lists didn't do it for me, because they don't follow the usual rule-of-three, but the "genetic marker ... travels" line seems egregious. And the "not X, but Y".

I didn't notice any obvious markers, weird prose, or meandering in this one.

Every game engine has a sort of "grain" to it where it tends to produce games with a certain look and feel.

I think this is a bit of a myth. Unreal gets this criticism a lot, but it's usually because many studios choose to stick close to the rendering defaults, which does lead to a certain look.

To that point, it's probably a lot cheaper to configure Unreal or Unity into a unique "grain" than it is to develop your own engine. It's also possible to use custom physics instead of those built into the engine.

idea worth persuing

Remains to be seen, considering how much snake oil there is in the solar market (but to be fair, this makes more sense than solar roads). A news article summary of a press release isn't proof of much.

this has to be satirical, right?

Right.

Surely nobody in the field of academia is this limited in their ability....

Wrong.

If anyone needs a longer tutorial, I strongly recommend 3b1b's series here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDPD3MizzM2xVFit...

The visualizations made things click in a way my Linear 101 course didn't.

That sounds pithy, but a person doesn't need to remind themselves of their own values; a company of 200,000 people does.

Which isn't to say cynicism for these sorts of company charters isn't warranted, just not for that reason.

Uncle Bob does a bad job talking about trade-offs, but there's still value in stuff like SOLID. The problems start when people blindly obey or ignore design principles.

Saying SOLID makes bad code is as over-simplistic as saying SOLID makes good code.

middle finger to second hand and physical stores

They've seen the writing on the wall for at least a decade; that's why GameStop has more shelf space for Funko Pops than for games.

The Godot Foundation pays for it if it furthers their mission.

I had a similar class where they threatened to fail us if we didn't use Dreamweaver and instead wrote our own html.

Implementing your loan-contingency wouldn't prevent generating headlines, so that would only leave contributions and kickbacks.

Totally agree. I tried the JIT approach; I could never get it to work, and I've never seen anyone else do it either. The wisdom has always been to keep everything flowing and accept spoilage (or kludge it with lots of bots and then move on). This patch makes it a more feasible, I think.

I'd love to see splitter filtering by freshness (e.g. nutrients at >=80% freshness) but I don't think that's in the cards.

If [the job applicant materials] didn't get you in the first time, they won't the next time

we had one opening, but five or even ten excellent final candidates

Under my interpretation , these statements contradict each other. The former implies that a candidate's failure is always the result of their shortcomings. The latter implies that a qualified candidate can be edged out through little fault of their own. The parent poster complained of exactly this; they weren't sure whether they were ineligible or simply edged out.

This contradicts your earlier statement, "we had one opening, but five or even ten excellent final candidates," and ignores the criticism: "is it me or is is it you?"

Although I suppose you're saying that promising candidates are kept on file for later?

Reading Crime and Punishment gave me anxiety, I had to put it down.

The poster was banned for "Irresponsible disclosure and threatening users privacy to advertise a startup." Unless the post was edited, is the moderator referring to their mention of HN?

To be fair, none of that has been paid out yet.

At the same time, anyone growing up today will be using LLMs for massive parts of the jobs they grow up to do. So they should learn about it.

There's not so much to learn they can't put it into a high school course. Adults currently in the workforce haven't been using AI since they were in elementary school, and they're adjusting fine.

I can't imagine there were lots of AZERTY keyboards kicking around MIT?

Article makes some distinction, though the $25MM number doesn't match your link.

In addition to the U.S. and its allies paying $300 billion in reconstruction funds, Iran reports that the U.S. has agreed to release $25 billion in frozen Iranian assets.

How does US regulatory capture do anything to impede PRC's advance?

my reply is that they are so precisely because we don't have to type type definitions.

My reply is that no, that's not why they're pleasant. If that were the only criteria, we could conclude Python is only as pleasant as Forth.

Some sites do this to prevent password recovery spam; you need to provide two pieces of information. Ideally not telling the client if they wrote the wrong email, that'd be a security issue of its own.

The argument here is that the AI is a glorified input page. The input field asks for your username and email and sends it to a backend function. Such an input page is working as intended.

The problem is when the backend function doesn't verify that the email matches the username.

They're incentivised because they're offering plans at a loss and/or pricing out potential customers. All these LLM companies are competing on accuracy and price.
