they also screwed up Linux before they did that on windows.. The problem here is they are a spyware that pushes whatever code they want to your (precisely your company) devices without test etc. It's just a matter of time for it to blow up.


The Linux kernel panic issue was different in many ways (in this case, the bug was in the Linux kernel used by a particular RHEL release), but your point that it needed further testing before pushing it out to production is still valid.

Inventions with market value are protected by trade secrets and only trivial and tedious part are patented around this true secret. In that case, nobody knows the true secret by reading you 1000000 patents. But, if they independently invent it again, some methods involves in this process can easily violate one of the 1000000 patents.


until you start to use zfs.. (completely doable with fuse overlay, but just painful)


They could have AMD provide a compatibility layer for the GPU (although this might be a bad idea), but implementing an AMD compatibility layer on Intel/NV clearly seems like an even worse idea. But at least you might be able to run the already compiled shaders in compatibility mode?


Horizon Forbidden West was ported from PS to PC. Decima is an engine from Sony’s first-party studio, so it's understandable that their development process would lean more towards PS's internal architecture rather than the more common GPUs on the market. Of course, even general-purpose engines can perform better on PS5, AMD, or NV. But, for these engines, they have less information about how customers will use the engines, so there's less infomation can be used to optimize. On the other side, customers using these engines often don’t have enough experience optimizing sufficiently for each platform. None of this is absolute, but I think this logic is reasonable.

For game developers using these engines, if they take optimization seriously, they typically make adjustments to lighting, LOD, loading, and model details or shaders on console platforms to achieve a similar visual effect while meeting the targeted performance goals. This is why you usually get better performance on a console at the same price point compared to a PC, aside from the subsidies provided by Sony.


You don't actaully need any fancy wrapping.. just open https://script.google.com/ you can already access all google's APIs + you will be able to integrate your sheets with your gmail (send email), calendar (you can modify the calendar when the sheet get changes), create pages, allow inputs from form and etc..) The problem with that is the sheet will not have any .. transaction based ops like a real database so for example you want to lock certain resources.. you may fail..


Every time someone makes a simple solution for a problem on this website someone else points out that a much more complicated option already exists.


I'd like to nominate this comment for the HN Hall of Fame


Is there such thing?:)



It's not a simple solution if it suggests replacing one API with two APIs (sheets + this wrapper). It defeats the point of going with Sheets. Both APIs can break now.


Is it more complicated, really?


It depends on the end user actually. If it is a developer then it might not be that complicated.


Sounds like clean room, and if you can do that for GPL code, you can also do that for proprietary code, which is fair in a sense. Or maybe the question is whether you can re-label the code so written as GPL or MIT ......Or, you should let GPT pick a license that it likes.


You can also decompile a proprietary binary, ask GPT to rewrite it, and then re-release it as your own work.

Somehow I feel the lawyers won't agree.


Reimplementing would also help with training data, it's a way of extracting the idea without copying the original form. Works even better on images with variations, you generate the style from image A with content composition from image B, thus extracting the style without the exact expression.


It is not think that improves security as an attacker does not need to read the executable code (remotely) to find the gadget or attack. More precisely, it is unreliable to rely on the confidentiality of such static information to achieve security.


Calculus (Derivative and definite integral) is taught in some areas, It's elective 2-2. It does not involve Limit although number sequence is taught.

My province, the NCEE had Calculus, linear algebra and inequality and it's choose two from three.

Students tend to choose this (if it's availble in that area) because it's generally easy. And if you're like me, not good at computing numbers, you would choose inequality (mean inequality and Cauchy's Inequality in most cases) as you only need to do some transformation to the problem. Some students will do matrix if they cannot solve this quick enough.

These were my experience, I do heard that recent education revolution was moving inequality to compulsory but removed Cauchy and so on.

BTW, I don't understand how analytical geometry can be replaced by calculus and linear algebra.


To be fair, banning for-profit school hurts the tax from these corporations since they cannot make profit from this. That's the goverment cost of the policy.
