Yeah but I still think it would be a great scientific achievement and should be pursued. Fusion has better security properties than fission, so perhaps it will find some use case in the far future.

I think that it will depend on economies of scale.

Maybe the next step is releasing TF3 or some competitor game to overtake TF2

Yeah the 30% cut is insane, and its surprising to me that game publishers tolerate it under steam. But if you look at the PC games market, you can clearly be successful doing the "self publish" route like Minecraft did. I think ju

Having played TF2 and such as a kid, the bottleneck was always asking your parents for their credit card or getting steam cards/vanilla credit cards for your birthday. I think it's hard to form a gambling addiction if you don&#x27

You have to be careful with that, start giving out hair cutting licenses with reckless abandon a ton of innocent people could dye.

Woah... woah WOAH I wasn't expecting to see this on HN. I've been expecting this for a long time, and if I was valve I would have done something like this a long time ago: release a "final" celebratory content update, po

Good news everyone! They've already tried to reverse engineer the source engine for TF2 for some success! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09CvpQrnTEY

That could probably be solved with bit-torrent. I think the bigger obstacle is the hardware required for training. Maybe it would be possible for groups of people to reproduce/train open source models with a distributed BOINC-like syst

Yeah that was the old Viacom vs Youtube days. Here is a great video if you have half an hour to spare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV2h_KGno9w . Pretty funny court case where it turns out viacom was violating their OWN

Good historical comparison, but I doubt it this time because there is plausible deniability that a model wasn't trained on a given piece of data. Also, the pool of public domain data is always increasing, so the AI will eventually wi

I dislike when people like RMS get semantic and gatekeep words like "free software", but this is the end product of a world without gatekeepers. People just use words in a way that's convenient to them.

How does that work? fiber optics are delicate. you mean free-space optics?

Seems like they ought to use a lower-level system. I hate to see the day when someone's smartphone-based pacemaker or whatever crashes or gets hacked and kills the person attached. You could have a low power system like ESP32 or STM32

>That's why I prefer gameplays on Nethack/Slashem, they are pretty hard to either fake or cheat in. I wonder if you could train an AI on it and just have 1000 of em running to get the best records

I guess but with elogind I have no problem running DEs without systemd. I have just never really come across systemd, having mostly used distros like alpine and gentoo

I don't know, I have never had to use systemd. openrc works fine for me and it seems less complicated. What's the killer feature for systemd?

>Bring solutions. Tech debt is just OpEx to everyone else. What if there was a rust compiler to C, that produced like readable, compliant C code for the kernel. And then developers that want to work in rust can publish their original rus

nope, but I encounter it a lot. For example, the default cargo template or whatever just gives you a non-copyleft license https://github.com/cargo-generate/cargo-generate . There are a lot of questionable defaults in t

It's a cool idea but it's licensed MIT instead of GPL or something copyleft so I won't contribute to it. Rust-only ecosystem would be pretty cool though. It may be worth just forking linux for the sake of compatibility, and k

The new freenet has some interesting ideas related to this in the form of "contracts" and "delegates", which are essentially distributed WASM programs with their own memory. It sounds a lot like what you're describi

I will try it for more technical queries, but the results seem to be worse than Google/DDG. The reverse image search sucks and has never returned a single result for me. I suppose the advantage is that it whitelists/blacklists aga

It's a shame that their $5 tier is only 300 searches/month, or 10 searches per day. It's kind of ridiculously low. I could burn through half of that in a single day of debugging Also I just tried it and you can't really

I mean apple could just sell unlocked phones that work in any country, and let people smuggle them in however they want. Apple just happens to operate their buisness in a way that's very vulnerable to government overreach. Their OS is
