Is there any source on that?

All I'm seeing is they got their hands on the domain, which can be (and was in the past) just part of whatever settlement they agreed on, and the game press spinned that into "Nintendo bought Ryujinx".


10k downloads, last app store update in November, MMO

Does not feel like it paid off for them. But SpacetimeDB might of course not be the reason for that.


The biggest competitor is Orca (pretty much the same product) and they even accuse Wiz of patent infringement. Trial starts in December. https://www.calcalistech.com/ctechnews/article/ryjc8dgnr

Being owned by Google probably would help in those regards too now.


> Hasn't DeepSeek's novel training methodology changed all that? If the energy and financial cost for training a model really has drastically dropped, then frequent retraining including new data should become the norm.

Even if training gets way cheaper or even if it stays as expensive but more money gets thrown at it, you'll still run into the issue of having no/less data to train on?


True. One effective test for AGI might be the ability to first create a new language, then also write performant code in that language.


Because you have two parties of HN users that happily flag, which is enough. Those who are Trump supporters and those who just don't want any politics / the discussions surrounding it on HN. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doesn't seem to be a duplicate, so dang might unflag it and remove the filter if he sees the thread.


You can always email dang about Flags you think are unjust. He's pretty responsive and fair. Just checkout the contact page linked at the bottom


While I also agree with the sentiment that it's not the same, I think it's interesting that you use "googling" as a comparison.

Googling and extracting the right information efficiently is clearly a skill, and people do use it in wildly (and often inefficient/bad) ways. That might be less of an issue with your average HN user, but in the real world, people are bad at using Google.


That's actually not true. E.g. Nintendo fans vs Palworld / Pocket Pair.


You're actually proving his point.

Palword vs Nintendo is not a trademark case but a patent one. People in gaming are notably very much not in love of patents restricting what games can or can't do.


The block seems to be in effect since at least May: https://x.com/Forceultraomega/status/1795189735297605635

So unlikely has anything to do with a recent ban.


That's not true.

And they did apologize for it, I think.

Also, megathreads are what you do when you want a topic to die on a subreddit. Especially now where pinned threads even have less visibility. Their obviously bad faith poll after ending their "no moderation experiment" after not even two days (while announcing it for a week), also speaks a different language.

Probably slightly biased summary: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1g4pr8f/wor...

Yes, I'm sure some reddit users went too far in DMs (it's reddit...), but ultimately,

- the moderators of the subreddit clearly wanted to suppress that topic.

- one (the remaining one) works for Matt, and thinks the whole thing is a nothingburger (https://www.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1fwvs5z/comment/...)

- the creator of the subreddit still seemed completely pro-Matt and also friendly with him

That said, bluesix seemed like a very helpful mod, so, still not great to see them delete their account. And also, some users are for sure in it just for the blood.

The obvious move on moderation side would've been to allow big news around that "drama" to have their own threads, to remove duplicates and have random opinion tweets, blog posts & influencer's thoughts in the megathread / a pinned comment on each of the "big news'" threads.

This is what most mods who wouldn't want to suppress the topic but keep the sub somewhat clean would've done. For some reason, that wasn't even up for discussion.

It was either a "we go on strike and stop moderating" (which ended quickly when it didn't result in the chaos they anticipated), megathread or complete ban of the topic for them.


What part is not true?

And we will have to agree to disagree I guess. Here's how I would summarize some parts of it:

- The moderators didn't want to completely censor or remove good faith threads, they just wanted to contain it within megathreads. this is normal on reddit. I disagreed with this and thought it would be better to have some threads on front page but limit the number.

- The users had wild accusations and conspiracy theories (https://old.reddit.com/r/Wordpress/comments/1g4ahoq/is_that_...)

- The mods didn't make an attempt to censor r/wpdrama from being talked about, they redirected users to it

- The users were fundamentally angry and accusatory from the get go which made it even more difficult to come up with solutions

- This is not how I remember old reddit nor the old internet. Back then we would have a civil disucssion with the mods about what things should be allowed or not allowed.


The mods could have literally done nothing and the majority of users (as proven by the unofficial poll) would have approved. The mods didn’t know how to moderate without being little dictators. Once they realized this they gave up and ran away.


Those 20 poorly written plugins make a good amount of money though, which is why many of those plugins' creators and affiliated "wordpress influencers" also do an outstanding job pushing the sentiment against more integrations into the core.
