To say that it's American money in specific is laughable. The internet hasn't worked well on a matchday for quite some time in Spain due to their draconian laws around blocking piracy.

The EU can control companies that operate within the EU, they can't stop a Chinese company operating in China from destroying things. They could prevent the sale in EU without proof that the companies don't do that, but this is a good start.

This also isn't targeting the waste that comes from temu. This is targeting luxury brands that create artificial scarcity and destroy items rather than sell them at a discount. Think Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc.

Ooh, anything Shackleton is a read for me.

Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage is a top 5 all time book for me.

│ When he saw the three men he stepped back and a look of disbelief came over his face. For a long moment he stood shocked and silent before he spoke.

│

│ "Who the hell are you?" he said at last.

│ The man in the center stepped forward.

│ "My name is Shackleton," he replied in a quiet voice.

│ Again there was silence. Some said that Sørlle turned away and wept.

Counterpoint, 80% of the code I write is not hard and I don't care about it past it being close to a reference implementation

Why wouldn't OpenAI offer the same?

I'm with you. If Dario posts in his blog about regulation of AI, I absolutely assume that is anthropic's position.

Or LA

Deepseek has some models in Bedrock. There is definitely a huge market for a "good enough" model running within the country of the company

While I agree with you in spirit... were you expecting that you could... burn the film to a DVD or something?

Of course buying a movie on itunes means you can only watch it on capable devices. You can't play a youtube video on a VHS player either.

It's a bit performative to say "x is my last day" when there is a ton of evidence to the contrary.

I agree with you, it's more that... it is performative in itself.

I'm the opposite. BigCorp distributed systems guy.

I'd agree with all of this from what I've seen though. The problems that some of my buddies solved straight out of college, while very different than 'hard problems' at bigcorp, are... hard.

One buddy ended up moving to the worst of both worlds... backend infra for a large video game and ended up getting video game salary for bigcorp distributed systems problems.

... which is different from the child whose body got folded in half by someone looking at their phone?

I think "good enough" ends up being okay. I _like_ driving. I would do manual mode often still just because I enjoy it. But I'd be completely fine with the option of autopilot in good conditions. Reality is that 99% of the time, my commute is boring and in good conditions. I don't need a self driving mode that can handle a blizzard when I'm in stop and go traffic and it's 20c outside.

This is much harder for Waymo since there isn't as easy of a manual override mode... But in my car? rip it.

Luckily I basically already have it. Adaptive cruise covers most of my cases well enough, but I wouldn't mind something with a bit more control (turning, etc.)

It is, but it still feels better that the money goes toward the artist than it does to go to a middleman.

Reality is there is no good solution IMO, no matter what you do, someone is missing out. Just the reality of supply vs demand.

I know that msft gets a lot of (rightful) hate, but mad props for the accessibility controller.

I think it's a lot simpler than that. At peak, gpus are all running hot. During low volume, they aren't.

Very weird to see people on hackernews of all places complain about ads on the internet. We solved this like 15 years ago.

What is "here" in this context?

I disagree with the premise that it doesn't matter as long as users can't tell. Say you're running a Counterstrike tournament with a 10k purse... Integrity matters there. And a smart cheater is running 'stealth' in that situation. Think a basic radar or a verrrrrry light aimbot, etc.

The problem is that traditional cheats (aimbot, wallhack, etc.) give users such a huge edge that they are multiple standard deviations from the norm on key metrics. I agree with you on that and there are anticheats that look for that exact thing.

I've also seen anticheats where flagged users have a session reviewed. EG you review a session with "cheats enabled" and try to determine whether you think the user is cheating. This works decently well in a game like CS where you can be reasonably confident over a larger sample size whether a user is playing corners correctly, etc.

The issue with probing for game world entities is that at some point, you have to resolve it in the client. EG "this is a fake player, store it in memory next to the other player entities but don't render this one on screen." This exact thing has happened in multiple games, and has worked as a temporary solution. End of the day, it ends up being a cat and mouse game. Cheat developers detect this and use the same resolution logic as the game client does. Memory addresses change, etc. and the users are blocked from using it for a few hours or a few days, but the developer patches and boom, off to the races.

These days game hacks are a huge business. Cheats often are offered as a subscription and can rank from anywhere from 10-hundreds of dollars a month. It's big money and some of the larger hack manufacturers are full blown companies which can have tens of thousands of customers. It's a huge business.

I think you're realistically left with two options. Require in-person LAN matches with hardware provided by the tournament which is tamper-resistant. Or run on a system so locked down that cheats don't exist.

Both have their own problems... In-person eliminates most of that risk but it's always possible to exploit. Running on a system which is super locked down (say, the most recent playstation) probably works, until someone has a 0day tucked away that they hoard specifically for their advantage. An unlikely scenario but with the money involved in some esports... Anything is possible.

The entire thing is written in a curmudgeonly fashion, led by that massive list of musicians.

We get it, you like classical music and Spotify is a poor fit. That's... the article?

I loved my Plasma TV.

Bought it as an intern dirt cheap off of some dude at my company who posted it in a email group. He upgraded to the latest and greatest and just wanted it hauled out. Picture quality (for the time) was incredible!

It also doubled as the worlds best space heater. My god it was power hungry.

I'm curious why? I do this all the time. Saves me time and lets me pull information quickly.

I'm not running it in a container that has access to my local filesystem or anything...

I’d agree for a home computer Linux or macOS are the only sane choices now.

Unless you care about gaming at all. Sure you have the Linux evangelists who talk about how much better support has gotten (it has!) but there are still huge glaring holes.

I run MacOS for everything except gaming. I'm not even that big of a gamer but it's the only sane option there.

There would also be a requirement for all playback to actually properly check the private keys

I don't think that's true. Only for someone who wanted to prove authenticity to grab the signature. No private keys would be exposed (except those which were hacked.)

If Netflix and Amazon can't keep their 4k HDR webrips from being leaked (supposedly via extracted licenses from Nvidia Shields), I have no idea how we'd expect all camera manufacturers to do it. Maybe iPhones and flagship Apple devices, but even then we'd find vulns in older devices over time.

How do you find the camera?

"I extracted and added the noise profile to the AI generated video with a goPro to make it look legitimate"

I don't think it was AI either but I don't think that would hold up in court.

It's that Austin Powers clip of the guy slowly getting smooshed by the steam roller.

Still kind of pointless though. Someone has to check ID and im WA state, open the beers for you.

Kind of defeated the purpose of just walk out. Since I couldn't... Just walk out.

FAANG here (service oriented arch, distributed systems) and id say probably 20+ percent of code written on my team is by an LLM. it's great for frontends, works well with test generation, or following an existing paradigm.

I think a lot of people wrote it off initially as it was low quality. But gemini 3 pro or sonnet 4.5 saves me a ton of time at work these days.

Perfect? Absolutely not. Good enough for tons of run of the mill boilerplate tasks? Without question.

Does this... help with chess?

Can you share more on this?
