Why are all these pills shaped like suppositories

The program I use with WINE requires network access to authenticate and because it was for audio production, it had access to my filesystem for samples.

Ten bucks says you downloaded a compromised VST.

I think a good evolution of roguelite meta-progression is actually extraction mechanics.

Like escape from duckov etc. is essentially a roguelite where you have to survive and extract with your meta items, which I think is better for keeping you on your toes and feels less “grindy” than traditional roguelite meta-currency.

Hopefully this episode gives the Danish government reason enough to get away from American owned tech.

The irony of this being about the apple and Google app stores is palpable.

The group that originally started development and shelled out to buy the IP back from Riot owns Hypixel, the largest MTX Minecraft server on the internet.

Just in time for disc rot to set in

It’s kind of wild to criticize people for not providing the conversation prompt logs they had with LLMs and then publish code on GitHub generated by an LLM without publishing their own LLM conversation log.

I feel like I need to look into those 100% ARM desktop systems with those Huawei video cards soon…

Most AAA studios at this point have in-house AIs and training, I’m not sure it’s the equalizing factor people think it is.

“Infini-attention” isn’t perfect memory, it’s highly compressed representations of the entire history. (https://arxiv.org/html/2404.07143v1).

Much like quantization. The longer the context gets the worse the compression makes recall.

For a lot of people for a long time your insurance card (that didn’t have a photo) was the only “identification” you had. Otherwise you had to bring your school ID, work ID etc.

Most people don’t have drivers licenses cause they take the train. When you sign up for banks etc you usually have to get a bunch of official documentation from the local ward office with your information.

Proof of identity in Japan has always been a bit of a hazy problem. You sign most documents still with a family stamp, so the idea of what legally is defined as identifying is kind of vague.

Most local offices aren’t networked up, so when you move you have to register with your local ward office and the japanese beauricratic army goes and gets the previous ward office to fax over your info.

“My Number” is the japanese governments attempt to get all that stuff wired together in one database.

Yes the “my number card” (national ID) was mostly a volunteer thing but now that it’s needed for health insurance it’s required of everyone

Japan just hooked up the national health insurance to the national ID.

You can’t, if the code is open source it can be cloned to not fit in the license no matter what kind of license or fancy shenanigans you do.

The argument most MIT/BSL proponents have is that companies will be more likely to directly contribute if the project doesn’t have GPL “poisoning”.

I usually split the difference and license LGPL for everything.

the GPL v2 doesn’t have any less restrictions around strong copyleft (requiring that a company publish changes for components).

Maybe you’re thinking of the fact that GPL requirements don’t cross the kernel module syscall boundary?

This “poisoning”, effect is the reason the LGPL and AGPL licenses exist.

It’s creating a snowball effect in Japan, as schools, daycares and kindergartens close down it’s getting harder and harder to find people to watch kids when people need to work. Most daycares have waiting list and point systems determining how much “need” a set of parents have for daycare because there’s not enough of them.
