Companies consist of people and people care about far more things than profit for a random company. It should be obvious to anyone considering how much people hate on companies and their bosses online. It's close to 60 years ago we got the expression "the long march through the institutions".

> The main complaint about iOS is it’s too restrictive.

For a small subset of users. For most others, it just works.

The benefits of being a hassle to move away from and being locked out of family/friend discussions because your Android breaks the group discussion far outweigh the benefits of opening up the platform.

It's not one or the other. You can create great content for retention and still use clickbait to get 10x more clicks.

Isn't that bypass removed nowadays? Google made headlines for the last week's because it would refuse misgendering even when ww3 with nuclear destruction was on the line.

It is. I thought the author just mistyped in the post but looking at the repository example it's indeed backwards.

I haven't been able to access their submitted copyright document so I don't know what they exactly copyrighted, and even if I did I don't know enough law to have an opinion, but I think your comment is missing one important aspect - the pieces as a whole.

You probably didn't filter for the field "registration number":

I've not found the submitted documents though, only confirmation that it exists.

The relevant part seems to be the mention of "React Wordle" as well as:

> The Times owns U.S. Copyright Reg. No. PA0002342355 in Wordle as an electronic file and computer file for a videogame. The Times’s Wordle copyright includes the unique elements of its immensely popular game, such as the 5x6 grid, green tiles to indicate correct guesses, yellow tiles to indicate the correct letter but the wrong place within the word, and the keyboard directly beneath the grid.

This case aside, the real issue is Rapid7 having a written policy of throwing users under the bus to gain publicity by publishing vulnerabilities before they have a chance to update. Contrary to what the "security journalist" claims, this isn't the norm.

This is the equivalent of complaining that file hashes are useless because they don't contain the data originally stored in the file. That is not the purpose.

Tears of the Kingdom had over one million public downloads even before its official release last year. It's probably less common than it used to be (especially for music) but it's still widespread.

I think the biggest change is that people at the bottom have moved on to iptv or paying for shared Plex accounts instead of doing the downloading themselves. The chain is still dependent on torrenting though.

I'm getting the same but only when using VPN. Not sure if there's a connection or just a correlation with me using the VPN during the day.

Seems the bigger news is them giving up on some licensed IPs such as the upcoming Star Wars game and instead doubling down on their own products such as sports games.

In the original tweet, Klarna mentioned that customer satisfaction was the same.

> They made their money on reminder fees by not sending invoices until the reminder

Do people making this claim actually use them? You get the invoice by email within minutes after the company marks the package as shipped. Then you get a reminder 2 days before the final date. Once the pay date has passed, they send an additional reminder. If you pay it, you get no extra fee. If you have the app installed, it gives additional notifications.

I don't know anything about the subject but it's worth noting that the article Wikipedia cites for listing the three founders, also specifically mentions Cedric as one of three additional "non-operational" co-founders.

My interpretation from the article cited on Cedric's Wiki page and published 6-7 months after launch is that he joined after and hence isn't one of the three original founders, maybe:

> O explains he was drawn to Mistral a few months ago first and foremost because of the ambition of its founders Arthur Mensch, Timothée Lacroix and Guillaume Lample, Meta and Deepmind alumni.

Not saying you're wrong. But "he's not listed on Wikipedia" is a bit weak? Consider just adding him and the others if you figure out who joined when.

The backstory:

Seems EU politicians requested a hearing with Amazon about worker conditions which Amazon declined with the argument that it was short notice and that the hearing seemed to focus solely on Amazon despite the company consisting of less than 1% of the sector. They'd be happy to join if more companies, organizations or academics would be invited.

Apparently, politicians didn't like being turned down.

On the contrary, I think they completely misjudged it. The AI initially worked as intended and that's why the product manager defended the flawed results on Twitter. What they didn't expect was that people would start generating Nazis to show how flawed it was. This caused backlash from people and organisations that they actually cared about.

I doubt the patched model will fix the underlying issue. They'll just apply exceptions to a few noteworthy historical keywords. They've been vocal about their filtering of image search for years and this is in line with that.

The quote is from the article, not from a comment.

That's based on the assumption that every employee contributed to improving the game engine. They went from 2700 to 7700 employees during the pandemic. They could fire the bottom half of those people and still be way ahead where they were a few years ago.

As a hobby game dev using Unity, there are plenty of issues with it. But I doubt hiring more people and throwing more money on it will solve them at this stage.

These articles always seem a bit iffy when watching from the inside. Sure, I know plenty of immigrants who have raised concerns about the habit of leaving babies outside in the stroller during the winter, but the rest?

Children in other countries don't play or leave the house due to bad weather?

Indeed, the school doesn't start until they are six years old but that's because we just call it kindergarten (nowadays preschool) instead. They still have an official curriculum where they are expected to learn to interact, communicate, build a foundation for writing, and learn about nature. Among many other things.

The person you're responding to isn't saying that Twitch lacks the ability. They are saying that increasing the occurrence would cause people to get annoyed and leave, resulting in no ads being viewed.

In the case of a Swede who tried to do it, he had multiple psychological diagnoses such as autism and mostly saw it as a fun experiment. People online encouraged him which played a part. I reckon they often value the risk differently. In his case, he even called and asked if his actions were legal, which resulted in the police arresting him.

iOS and OS X had Reeder back then, which used Google Reader as an engine and then released a new version that stored the data locally. That's how I primarily used Google Reader back then because the user experience was so good. For other platforms, five-year-old Feedly was very mature and the platform I'm using today since I left Apple (Feedly Classic to be specific since they made their "new" app awful).

To summarize, yes. There were plenty of mature alternatives and a migration was easily done by exporting and importing a file. Feedly supposedly got 3 million new users in the two weeks that followed Google's shutdown.

A far bigger issue than Google shutting down was the fact that people had moved on to Facebook and Twitter while newspapers created closed ecosystems with their own apps. Jason Kottke, then one of the world's most popular blogs, declared blogs to be dead.

More and more board games are released with AI generated art. It's still controversial so larger companies are hesitant to join due to the risk of flack on social media but it's definitely a real thing replacing jobs at the moment. Fryx Games that made Terraforming Mars is probably one of the more well-known examples.

Art in general seems to be a high risk occupation because the stakes are low. It's a similar case for stock photography. In the gaming world, Embracer recently fired a bunch of artists with the intent of having fewer people be more productive with the use of AI generated content.

Consumer protection rarely covers carelessness or applied physical forces (dropping/hitting). The customer claims no such thing was involved but anyone working in customer support can tell you that customers lie all the time. So a random employee made a judgement call but that decision is not final. The customer should escalate it.

> Corporations don't give a shit

Corporations consist of humans and humans do care. About all kinds of things. As evident from countless arguments within the open-source community, all it takes is one vocal person. Allow them to influence the hiring process and within shortly, any beliefs will be cemented within the company.

It wasn't profit that made Audi hire a vocal political extremist who publicly hates men and stated that police shouldn't complain after their colleagues were executed. Anyone could see that it would alienate the customers which isn't a recipe for profit.

Unfortunately the hallucinations make it problematic. Yesterday I was working in a chart library I had never used and Copilot was adamant in convincing me to use non-existing methods. You can question it, but when it's backtracking you have no idea if you triggered it or if the information was wrong.

At least with practical implementations you can still verify the output through tests or trial and error but it becomes even more fragile when asking about facts or knowledge.

Embarrassment seems to be the default state whenever you question ChatGPT or any of its messages. It will apologise, only to continue making the same error. This is common when it gives you code with obvious errors or just mirror code you gave it.
