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.

My favorite one of these is "electrocuted" meaning "to be killed by electricity".

Nobody alive has ever been electrocuted, but you will meet people who claim to have been.

The modern definition includes "injured", so plenty of living people have been electrocuted.

Great suggestion. Adding it to my TODO list. Thank you.

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.

Why would you need permission to make a game work on a newer platform? Were the changes made to the code of the game, or of the console?

A lot of contracts are for a specific release, and a lot of IP gets contracted out (music, art, sometimes even game engines). Especially for music, it's not uncommon for the license to be very specific: you can use our music for this particular game, on this particular console, released in this particular region.

Ai generated images on the homepage are a huge bummer :(

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 Ive personally encounter scenadios where sometimes the ai gets hung up on irrelevant outdated fact.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I could see even an automated short summary of all history that is outdated being updated in the vector db from this too.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!

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.

Would people consider obsidian juat a note taking app and not a todo app?

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

I would be pretty surprised if the quality of rips since 2017 would account for a 20x increase in traffic.

Most of the rips are probably the same-ish size. But there are definitely now a lot of incredibly huge rips. A 13-episode season of television that's like 80 gigs. It's an additive load, and while it's not that regular, it could have a massively outsided impact.

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.

What about those drones that charge via power lines?
