  • Trump holds wide leads in Iowa, South Carolina: polls

    Jump

  • I would say democracy is less of a problem, the problem is lack of accountability at least on constitutional level. One of the biggest thing I'd add to the constitution is a rule that mandates for every dollar we spent on the military, another dollar must be spent on education.

  • Ubisoft Can Delete Inactive Accounts, Making Users Lose Access to Their Games

    Jump

  • I knew putting Ubisoft on the blacklist was a good idea a decade ago. Everyone should blacklist them as well, just let them die as a company.

  • Google is working on essentially putting DRM on the web

    Jump

  • Well I tried to post it on their issue board the following, so I'll post it here until they decide to open up again if ever:

    Google has no right to preach about accessibility and inclusion in their code of ethics when they continue to neglect accessibility issues on their own platforms. YouTube, a Google product, still allows uploaders to disable auto-captions on videos without requiring them to provide captions. This prevents deaf and hard-of-hearing users from accessing content on one of the largest video platforms on the web.

    Now Google has proposed a new standard called Web Environment Integrity that could also restrict accessibility. This standard risks excluding assistive technologies, reducing performance, enabling more inaccessible CAPTCHAs, breaking accessibility modifications, and blocking users who rely on "non-human" assistive tech.

    It is hypocritical for Google to claim leadership on an issue like accessibility when their actions suggest otherwise. They have failed to address major accessibility flaws on YouTube despite years of feedback from the disability community. Google owes disabled users an explanation and a commitment to do better on YouTube accessibility before proposing standards like Web Environment Integrity that could adversely impact users with disabilities.

    Google has lost the trust of many disabled users due to long-standing accessibility issues on YouTube and valid concerns about new proposals like Web Environment Integrity. Google had previously referenced a professional code of ethics calling for the elimination of biases and discriminatory practices. If Google is sincere about that commitment, they can start regaining some of that lost trust by taking concrete steps to improve accessibility on their platforms, and by working closely with the disability community to ensure any new standards do not disadvantage disabled users. Actions speak louder than words - it is time for Google to take action to demonstrate a real commitment to inclusion.

  • What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

    Jump

  • I would say Project Zombiod the closest one on that list. Just need a few mods to raise the hunger rate, more comprehensive nutrient stats, and farm difficulty scaling. The game already laid out most of the groundwork.

  • Palia | Official Gameplay First Look

    Jump

  • Yeah, I agree, it looks very lacking overall.

  • Home Insurers Are Exploiting the Climate Crisis to Gut Consumer Protections

    Jump

  • It would make more sense if community just set up contracts amongst themselves to pool together with monthly community fund added to the pile and if something happened, then a clause in the contact begins and facilitate the steps to release fund for that person. Contract could set up arbiter (paid hourly) to determine whether the claim is covered by the contract agreed by the subscribers.

    The major difference in this model is basically that the perverse incentive is removed whereas commercial insurance have every incentives not to pay out to claimants which defeats the purpose of insurance in the first place.

    I don't know much about insurance laws or contracting to say for sure, but part of me is wondering why we haven't popularize this idea yet.

  • Rethinking Compiler Design - Melosynthos

    Jump

  • Yep, streamlining the process to write a new compiler. Most compiler development utilize something like Bison/Flex or by handwriting their own lexer/parser, but those things doesn't generate AST tree and you still have to read/modify that AST tree before reading it to generate the final resulting code.

    The sheer absurdity in scale of development increases when you realizes that you also have to do the same for LSP server.

    Melosynthos is came up with to think about streamlining all of this in one unified workflow.

  • Tinybuild CEO admits publisher is using AI tools to monitor employees

    Jump

  • This is a Pandora box situation, when potential use for malicious purposes on AI on the ponderance of evidence outweigh the goods, one have to conclude that it is necessary to ban it from the purpose of monitoring. This have immense impact on disabled workers for instance.

  • Claude 2 [new AI model released by Anthropic]

    Jump

  • It's actually superior to ChatGPT, because of much higher context memory of about 100,000 tokens whereas GPT-4 only got at most 32,000 tokens. Plus you can upload doc and then query on it.

  • The Release Date and Key Features of Windows 12 Unveiled

  • Microsoft: "Gotta keep all of the telemetries and AI running 24/7 of course!"

  • Microsoft moving fully to the cloud, does this mean something to us?

    Jump

  • I don't think it's possible for them to do so, because that would means killing the gaming aspect of Windows. GPU on cloud is stupidly overpriced and expensive, just look at Standard_NV6 for an example, it easily cost $10,000/yr according to this (Just look for anything that have "N" in it's name for GPU enabled VM and they are all expensive.)

    If they try to ban everyone from being allowed to use their own computer hardware, I really doubt people would stay on Windows, they most likely would be in the 5 stages of griefs and then contemplate on switching to either Linux or Mac OSX.

    In France, Nihilistic Protest Is Becoming the Norm

    Jump

  • This seems to be intentional disinformation. The prefix 'dis-' implies intention, whereas 'mis-' suggests unintentionality.

    I think we need to start curating a list of writers that aren't intentionally spewing uninformed craps. We need to start posting legit writer's articles and blacklist all other hostile writers.

  • What I want to know is how much of those are fake jobs that were posted online? And how much on average are those jobs paying? Number of jobs are pointless without other facts to accompany it... :/
