Like people using “bricked” to signal recoverable situations. “Oh the latest update bricked my phone and I had to factory-reset it, but it’s ok now”. Bricked used to mean it turned into something as useful as a brick, permanently.

I've also seen the term. You've been permanently banned for 12 hours.

Instead of temporarily suspended.

Whatever happened to the word suspended for temporary and ban for permanent and places say permanent with an expiration date.

Hey! I never really thought in that direction.

That's a great insight. I'd definitely look into it.

Thank you

In addition to random recipe.

Have a recipe of the day. Rotated per 24 hours.

So we can all enjoy and refine a recipe together

I briefly worked at Microsoft xbox back compat where we made the Xbox OG and Xbox 360 games work on Xbox one and newer generations and I know the PMs spent considerable time and effort doing similar things for the earlier Xbox games to be allowed for us to have them work on newer Xbox generations. It's really surprising that sometimes IP changes hands enough in some cases the owners might not have even known they owned something. I think the legal and permission always definitely one of the harder problems. I know music in some games were also particularly challenging, a few games had to have sound tracks removed or replaced.

If you are interested in building on ATProtocol, one of the best places to start is the Discord (until we have an atproto native alt @blebbit.app)

https://discord.atprotocol.dev/

Of course the spec is good too, very easy read

I'm no ai expert so consider my opinion having little value besides casual user. But I really like this. It seems clever and easy for me to grasp some pros for this approach.

I could envision a bunch of use cases about this workikg well. Ive personally encounter scenadios where sometimes the ai gets hung up on irrelevant outdated fact. But could still look up if specifically needed.

I could see even an automated short summary of all history that is outdated being updated in the vector db from this too. So not all context is lost.

Keep up the great work!

When I was a student, we tried to get him to speak to at our school, but Woz wanted mucho $$$$ to speak. But it seems plenty people will pay what he asks. I guess if my job were to just go around talking about random shit I'm interested in, and I can make $10M doing that, I'd be the happiest person ever too. I don't think it's about naivete.

Edit to clarify: I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to get paid, I'm saying his being "the happiest person ever" is directly correlated to his ability to collect millions just shooting the shit in front of a fawning audience.

it's a bit of work and effort to give a talk. And he is rich enough to not need to do it for the money. Time is important. If he'd be doing it for free he'd probably get too many requests. Adding a high $ can simply help filter down to a reasonable thing.to only the largest locations and highest number of people.

I dont want to do contract work but people ask so I just quote an unreasonably high number and on occasion someone bites. I dont need the money so I need an easy filter.

In my circles the modern alternative seems to be using Yandex to search for "$show stream".

I don't know about BitTorrent but Usenet is way up:

Daily volume could just be more bluray high quality downloads with people with better internet. And not neccesarily larger number of people right?

An inventory system for my games in unreal engine.

Supporting grid, multiplayer, predictive moves, item locking and more.

https://github.com/brokenrockstudios/RockInventory

It's been interesting and challenging. Probably the most important part is I've been learning a lot.

It was a lot of fun earlier on but it's becoming less fun the more I work on it.

How would they charge? The watt hours needed to fly a medium sized VTOL uav of any type for any reasonable amount of time can't be collected by the size of pv panel that can be reasonably carried by the same craft. Not unless it sits still for a week in a sunny spot.

What about those drones that charge via power lines?
