As Xbox shutters studios, old documentary clips that highlight problems with how Microsoft handles its developers are resurfacing
Following a week of foot-in-mouth c-suite moments at Xbox, some older ones are returning to the fore.

About life and feelings, gloomy and private
The feelings we get from the activities we do could be classified as neutral, positive and negative.
Let's take developing #Gentoo as an example. It's something that makes me happy — but you can't (or at least I can't) just get the happiness and reject everything else. Most of the Gentoo work is basically neutral, even bland — a duty that takes a lot of time and effort, and probably a little of your health. It's statistically probable that you're going to get some positive feelings out of it — the joy of success, satisfaction, appreciation, awareness that you've done something good. But you also get negative feelings — from failures, frustration, negative interactions.
My hiking trips are like that too. My family believes that "I do it for pleasure" — but it's a harmful oversimplification and it only tells me that they even aren't trying to understand me. In fact, it's mostly a necessity, a way of solving specific problems that works for me — halting diabetes-related problems, coping with emotions. Of course there's a positive side to it — good mood, energy to survive another day, something the joy of visiting a new place, seeing something beautiful, finding a solution to a vexatious problem, positive interactions with people. But there are also negative feelings — anger and sadness from failure, stress from problems, negative contacts with people. Sometimes you end up slowly charging your social battery for a whole week, just to have one person destroy it all.
If you think about it, life's something like that. It's mostly a bland effort to survive every following day, sometimes interspersed with positive or negative moments.

Per @IEA: "With the strong recovery in demand following the disruptions of the Covid-19 pandemic having largely run its course, structural factors are set to lead to a gradual easing of oil demand growth over the rest of this decade."

On closed definable subsets in Hensel minimal structures
This paper deals with Hensel minimal structures on non-trivially valued fields $K$. The main aim is to establish the following two properties of closed 0-definable subsets $A$ in the affine spaces $K^{n}$. Every such subset $A$ is the zero locus of a continuous 0-definable function $f:K^{n} \to K$, and there exists a 0-definable retraction $r: K^{n} \to A$. While the former property is a non-Archimedean counterpart of the one from o-minimal geometry, the former does not hold in real geometry in…

It's fuckin'-late o'clock, I'm wasting my sleep on some irrelevant thing and having our local equivalent of CNN on in the background.
I distinctly remember watching TV news as a kid and hearing about some military operation in late 1990s. I suppose it was NATO bombing Yugoslavia, not sure any more.
I understood jackshit, but I remembered that weird feeling watching bombers taking off on TV, nearly in real time.
Now I'm watching Iran striking Israel with …

Every time a story does not
lock the door on pronouns, asks
'what someone--maybe even you--would like
to be called, a little grain of
happiness drops into my chest. Someday these grains will
make a meandering mountain, growing
fertile in the kindly rain.
Someday, I will
stop noticing each grain fall in their myriad.
Someday no one will try to puncture my smile with
grumpy, toxic words. For now
the stories keep
the door unlocked. The grains
keep falling. I smile. #MastoPrompt #MicroPrompt #WSS366

A #vintageSciFi question: there are lots of plots where evil or misguided AI that controls everything runs amok (HAL) or not (COLOSSUS), but the #IvanTors film Gog (1954) is the earliest I know where a perfectly fine AI master-controller gets hijacked by code-injection from the real enemy; this happens again a decade later in Godzilla vs Megalon, but are there any earlier master-AI takeover films, books or short stories?
(fwiw, any PhD who names his bots Gog and Magog should expect trouble)
