No, this is incoherent garbage written by a man whose too fragile to accept and reflect on real peer view (you know something that is actually required for real science and philosophy, or just contributing to the Linux Kernel), and is using a self-described, sycophantic LLM, as pathetic substitute, because no real human wants to put up with your abusive behavior.

You didn't "win" me over with your garbage arguments when we were friends, and your completely unemphatic ad homin, lost you as a friend.

Churning out LLM slop, and labeling it "science" isn't convincing anyone that you're anything other than a lolcow in the making.

She has "obnoxiously queer" in her twitter bio,

"they" posted "Apparently Game Engines are woke now" "show us your #wokot games below", which is obviously rage bait, in response to a stupid tweet with minimum traction.

She blocked mild criticism, and then I kid you not, posted a selfie of herself in the shower, to flame Asmongold due to his video on the subject.

Saying that something is "random" is completely ignoring the fact that at every chance she had to be obnoxiously queer, she took it.

Xananax also posted a unprofessional message on the official website linked discord, and then the so called official response to the situation made excuses saying that this discord isn't official.

They've had many instances to act better, distance themselves from the unprofessional behavior and didn't take it.

Open comes with the ability to participate, an open door is to let something physical through, not like a transparent window that lets one see, an open market, open auction, or open sports league explicitly implies more than just viewing the activity.

For many of us, we've never used "open" to mean viewing.

Right now I wouldn't trust the license to let me message my boss or buy something from a store on my personal phone without violation, commercial activity is an extremely broad term.

There's a difference between being wrong on a few things, and being consistently wrong and so far up your own ass that you have Slavoj Žižek and Sam Harris calling you out and the only response you have is "He's just posturing", He is a coward, he is the spinless person in the situation 99% of the time, the only thing he does is provide FUD for far-left ideology, attacking him for things he's done in the past is well deserved.

But you can't do any of this and expect to get recognized.

No ones gonna hire you because you spent a decade and have a half finished game engine written Haskell.

All of that freedom is fake and some even in contradiction with each other.

You cannot take your time, or you pick a larger scope project, you will eventually run out of savings, or get questions from family members about why your job search is taking so long.

If you filter out everything but smaller scope projects then you have a far smaller subset of projects that aren't as unique because everyone else has done them. If you just graduated from University, you lack experience with project management and as the saying goes, write what you know, and so that'll limit yourself to video games or web and that one niche subject you took at Uni.

This advice feels like what you would get from a rock-star who was young and stupid and naive and very lucky telling a kid that if he just makes music and sticks it out he'll get scouted by a record label, When in reality he just was lucky enough to market pop-derivative music at gigs, while not realizing the kid likes to make music from sampled traffic noise and his favorite album is Music for Airports.

This is a high risk endeavour and you either need to make conscious decisions that mitigate risk heavily and are compatible with your personality, and the end goal of being financially secure.

Yeah downloading an OS that couldn't play MP3's by default, and required you to jump through hoops to let it play them, because said distro was avoiding law suits, Just like how Audacity didn't ship with LAME, but required you to supply your own dll. Yes patents had zero effect on the User experience.

I think the biggest reason is lack of hardware decoding, Lots of people have a device that can hardware decode H.265, which is extremely important for 4k content, my x230 really struggled with software 4k decoding of H.265, so I assume the same issue will happen with VP9 and AV1 especially with higher res content.

We have a building at the local university that has ground at one end level with transitory step between floors -1 and 0, you enter the building through the stair well, and descend or ascend to get to a floor. I wouldn't be surprised if an architect designed a building that did this on flat ground, violating the ability to number floors relative to ground with integers.

YouTube's 1080p60 is already at a decimation ratio of about 200:1, then you have to consider how efficient P and B frames are with motion/differences. if your data looks like noise you're gonna be completely screwed since the P and B frames will absolutely destroy the quality.

There's a bunch of other things too, like YUV420p and TV colour range: 16-235, so you only get 7.7bits / pixel.

If anything you would want to encode your data in some way that abuses the P and B frames, and the macro block size of 16x16.

Coding theory for the data output at your end is only one side of the coin, the VP9 codec stupidly good compression is a completely different game to wrangle.

And I kinda doubt you'll get much better than your estimate of 1% from the original scheme.

If I was to gamble I would say that Analog TV can store more data, compression algorithms usually work at say 1:200 compression ratio, they're extremely destructive, a raw 1080p60 in yuv420p is about 187MB/s, on the other hand a decent equivalent video on YouTube is about 1MB/s

You're looking an a macro economic indicator that only politicians seem to care about, Most other countries don't even bother to measure it.

Trade deficit is just as much an indicator for foreign sentiment to hold US cash, as it is to import non-US made stuff.

All that indicator says is that consumer behavior changes during a recession.

You can argue the same thing with private debt.

If the service gives a 301/308 response, it should in theory rewrite all bookmarks and things like this, but that also opens up security issues especially when it comes to password managers.

The use of "private-key encryption system" here is referring to symmetrical ciphers, It's an odd use of "private-key" that's for sure.

I have this pathological example, I have a 30GB journal dump from bcachefs, and compressed it down with lz4 and zstd to a sata SSD, the compression ratios are 6.8% and 3% respectively (and this with default level 3!), it takes 14s to ripgrep through the lz4 version, and 11s with the zstd version. So even at 500MB/s zstd is faster for decompression.

The point of locking the CPU to a specific vendor is to reduce the trusted user base in the cloud.

Currently you have to trust AMD, the Vendor, and the data center with your data.

The goal of verification of the firmware at such a low level is to eliminate tampering by the data center.

Having another feature like SEV (encrypted memory) combined with this lets you create a secure remote box that is fully encrypted at a very early stage in the boot process.

This reduces the chance of a malicious entity at a data center from tamping with the firmware to exfiltrate your keys.

Other people here are just ignorant and think it's being done purely for profit with no benefit to the end user.

Most people here don't seem to understand the entire point of this is to stop hardware tampering.

The goal of AMD's SEV and other features is that the only way to compromise the system is to tamper the wires between the CPU die and the IO die, that all data going outside the CPU die is encrypted, an extra hardware TPM chip module let you MITM the keys being sent to the CPU, having the keys stored in the CPU using fTPM, and never plaintext / keys leave or enter the CPU via PCIe or memory bus.

the "chipset" is literally just a PCIe/USB multiplexer these days, the CPU has no access to external hardware until after the firmware has loaded, the firmware has routines for turning on the memory and memory controller, PCIe etc, I don't think people understand just how utterly useless the CPU is without the firmware.

because you could still swap out the CPU

No you can't. AMD builds the TPM in to the CPU, with AMD's encrypted memory feature (SEV), in theory you do not have to trust the data center an all.

The CPU boots, loads a verified firmware using PSB, initializes a safe environment in SEV, your entire boot procedure and data is encrypted and safe using FDE and SEV keys stored in the TPM using PCR's.

No one is saying "in an ideal world" that's a strawman.

Fact checkers, corporations, the media, the state, and any of the elite are just people and so extremely irrational, Why on earth would you want to give any of them power above and beyond the general public, it's so easy to manipulate the so called "rational" with selective publication of information. Do we just forget that covid human to human spreading was "fake news" for an entire month, and basically changed the course of history because some bureaucracy decided it had more authority on the matter than a doctor treating the patients.

Or what about the "Ricard Spencer is a nice guy in Germany" effect, because people in Europe can't see the hate speech he makes, so they think he's fairly reasonable person.

To me it seems that it's the general public, from Snowden to Li Wenliang that is keeping fake news in check, not the elite, keeping the public in check.

The problem with signal and whatsapp's design with phone numbers is that it's used as your public facing ID. if you give over your number to someone, they put it in their address book on their phone and then Facebook finds common friends etc on their phone, and then you're all of a sudden doxed because of other peoples habits.

A lot of girls on dating apps prefer snapchat because they can just block the person and there's far smaller chance of getting stalked or harassed.

Matrix does not expose your email address or phone number to people you connect with, so you're a lot safer.

Signals protocol is designed so you don't have to trust the server.

Just look at how much information they hand over to the feds:

https://signal.org/bigbrother/cd-california-grand-jury/

I'm not sure what you mean by walled garden, but I assume you mean that you can't setup your own servers and join the network? What's stopping a federated network from forming a cartel and blocking small players, or servers they deem morally objectionable?

You're confusing civics with history.

We don't have a civics class where I'm from.

What, specifically, is the radical subjectivism of LGBTQIA+ groups that you object to that the article says is happening in schools?

Well the article doesn't say because that's not the focus of it.

If we ignore the explicit requirement for it being included in the article, And look at what's happening in wider society.

There are two such notable cases, the shaming of J. K. Rowling, for daring to base gender on biology, and not just subjective feelings.

the 2020 Toyko Olympics inclusion of Trans-women, who very clearly have an advantage because of their male physiology.

So it wouldn't be surprising if these alliance groups were pretty radically deep in to the subjectivism, since it's already being institutionalized in places like the IOC.

I don't see grade 6, a time where 99% of students haven't even hit puberty, mixed with secretive practices, a good sign for things to come, if teachers were promoting any sort of political club to my 12 year old child I would be very worried.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#Common_...

Critique of liberalism...Critique of liberalism: First and foremost to CRT legal scholars in 1993, was their "discontent" with the way in which liberalism addressed race issues in the U.S. They critiqued "liberal jurisprudence" including affirmative action,[86] color-blindness, role modeling, and the merit principle.[87] They said that the liberal concept—value-neutral law— contributed to maintenance of the U.S. racially unjust social order.

Storytelling/counterstorytelling and 'naming one's own reality'":': The use of narrative (storytelling) to illuminate and explore lived experiences of racial oppression.

This doesn't sound like history or science, it sounds like personal, highly subjective anecdotes, maybe even propaganda (see Jussie Smollett).

Revisionist interpretations of American civil rights law and progress.

this doesn't sound like teaching objective historical facts.

Cultural nationalism/separatism: The exploration of more radical views that argue for separation and reparations as a form of foreign aid (including black nationalism).

Because we definitely want to teach our kids segregation is good.

Now tell me how CRT is actually teaching objective historical facts?

Because in my eyes, this is not a philosophy that cares about facts, or liberal values, or even racism.

Teaching history is for the history teachers, not the art teacher who took a single critical race theory course in university, and now thinks Ibram X. Kendi, and Robin DiAngelo are great sources of historical truths.

An activist is a clearly biased source of information, they have already picked a side, and should not be trusted that they're teaching accurate history, and not just manipulating kids for their own ends.

You're under the assumption that these "teachers" could never do wrong, but how would you feel if some Christians were having secret clubs teaching your kids about Christ?

Wouldn't you want to make sure the teachers running some of sort of bible club were from some sane branch of Christianity and actually respected your children personal opinions and not Westboro baptists, shaming and them in to thinking they have to attend the club otherwise they're bigots...I mean sinners going to hell.

Parents should be worried about these clubs and how they're teaching kids, because there's a fundamental difference between liberal interpretations of rights, and non-racism, and the radical subjectivism of modern LGBTQIA+ groups, and CRT anti-racism.

This doesn't solve the issue of stolen accounts, or fraud.

Game companies won't accept a system that has a non-recoverable state like a deleted private key.

If you can assign a new key to your account, then the private keys don't improve trust, and remove the point in having them instead of just OAuth.

In games like Dota 2, there's already an industry for account selling.

It's pretty simple really,

Find some Boomer's ID, who barely does anything but browsers facebook (or better yet, buy an ID of one of the billion in the 3rd world).

Sign up to this service using their id, hire some poor kids in the 3rd world to level up the account without cheats to build rep, then sell the account to a hacker.

Private keys don't solve any of this.

You're downplaying how genuinely hard it is to do server side stuff on a game with 60+ players, a lot of this stuff is O(n^2), and the bottle necks is network packet sizes as well where players will start to complain about packet loss because they play on WiFi connection with someone else who watches YouTube or Netflix.

Apex legends does in fact do fully simulated bullet dropoff server side with temporal rewinding, and it doesn't stop hackers from just shooting you with 99% accuracy.

I think it would kill the scene, Stadia is anti-performance, it's a video feed streamed over the internet, with all the problems associated with processing on a remote computer, the primary motivator for high refresh rate monitors and low latency input is FPS games I would assume, so going from sub 10ms end to end latency to a 40ms latency on a perfect connection, I just don't see it being accepted.

As an aside it's recommended to keep latency under 20ms to stop motion sickness in VR.

There's no reason to believe this team will do anything.

Look at the guys LinkedIn and you'll see the graphic designer is a really bad graphic designer, look at the game itself, it's just an asset flip, they have no artists, the demo videos show no game play, but they're happy to show how you can chase your clout on their wall.

This project looks like Theranos, more than Star Citizen or WeWork.

Star Citizen was founded by the guy who made Wing Commander, he has a history with a product that actually was successful, It looks like they merely bit more off than they could chew, for example they released a road map for their road map, which reeks of middle management problems more than it being an outright scam.

WeWork had a viable product it's just impossible for them to monopolize on it so they were quickly beaten by their competition.

Saying "we believe in the team" just shows the people who a-okayed this were easily manipulated by scam artists, or are in on the scam themselves.

Minecraft wasn't marketed as having "every genre", while showing exactly none in their demo videos.

When you design a game you come up with a core game play loop, Minecraft had this, and notch was competent and humble enough to make his game from scratch, and release a MVP people could play.

This game doesn't have a core game play loop so it hides behind nothing burger statements like this.

Whenever someone makes claims that are both grandiose and vague you should take it with a grain of salt.

But do you know what it does have? it doesn't describe in ambiguities? kickstarter rewards, you get pets, and you get to put your name on a billboard, and the more you donate the bigger your name.

PoS and MobileCoin validator nodes use about the same amount of electricity.

I'm not a fan of PoS because it looks like a ponzie scheme (unless it's done like eth where initial distribution is done via mining)

This is actually worse than PoS, because PoS uses standard public key cryptographic to validate ownership of coin in the chain to stake, it at least in theory can achieve "trustless" validation.

This on the other hand is just a shitty attempt to outsource database maintenance to untrusted 3rd parties, using SGX, while forcing them to pay for S3 hosting because they can't implement a DHT to do proper decentralized file transfers.

Will you buy my coins back at a fair price?

What value do you provide? at least when I buy vbucks from Epic I know I'm getting fortnite skins with it.

Why should we run a node free of charge when you extract all the profits of our efforts?

When I see statements like "there's no economic incentive."

I read "I want all the profits, and screw everyone else".

If you genuinely wanted a decentralized network, then you would provide fair compensation for the added value the node provides against attacks on the network.
