> some say they are, some say they aren't. Is this in fact true?

The ones which said they are out are out. There isn't actually any evidence that they stayed in. There is a lot of frenetic speculation on reddit that they're still in, which is mostly the result of redditors cargo culting bad "game theory" to support their own priors that hedge funds will always lie no matter what. I have written many comments about this in the past couple of days; suffice it to say that these conspiracy theories are based in basic trading illiteracy and misunderstood jargon, mixed with a heavy dose of emotional investment.

On the other hand, there is good evidence they actually closed out when they said they did: the hedge funds getting burned when GME was at $50 and $100 simply wouldn't exist anymore when GME hit $300, $400 or $500. They would have been margin called and it would have been game over.

And finally - yes, some funds are short GME right now. But that's not because they were short at $4.5, it's because the current price is dissociated from reality and all the smart money wants to short the peak.
I don't know, last time I tried stock Ubuntu I found it to be pretty similar to current macOS with the launchpad and mission control. In any case, the answer to those problems you're describing would be more and more breaking changes, not less.

> do we really think people are stupid enough to gamble away lots of money they can't afford to lose?

Yes. Yes we do. Because "people" have done exactly that in every previous stock market bubble, and at every casino, and in sure-fire get-rich-quick "investment" schemes, and 3-card monte games...

A better way to frame the question is "do we really think people as a whole have gotten fundamentally smarter since the last time this happened?"

"There's a sucker born every minute."
BOOMv is not high-end, even reasonably.

High-end means building and optimizing miroarchitecture to specific node and prosess technology. Typically it costs $100-200 million to do and it's not high-end after 3 years after anymore.

> ...So if you need to model the market you now have to account for a very non-rational force, which is a big deal as it won't go away...

Rational or non-rational force is irrelevant, as long as it brings liquidity onto the market.

The democratization of the market we all witnessed in the past decades injects more liquidity into the good old zero-sum play. In a somber way, it's a "savings squeeze" strategy.

With apologies to Joseph Heller:

"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own UI in the face of flaws that were real and immediate was the process of a power user. Orr was an average user and could be listened to. All he had to do was write a feature request; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be an average user and would have to be ignored."
I advertise on google.

1. It is slow.
2. It is buggy.
3. They often introduce new features (instead of fixing old ones), call me on phone, and convince me to use them, only for them to not work right.
4. The UI seemly tries it hard to obscure useful stuff and make easy to waste money, sometimes it is blatant, for example when I was getting a ton of click fraud coming from mobile apps, I found a hidden option to disable ads on mobile apps, 2 weeks later they removed the option entirely, restoring the fraud, when I went to research how to fix that, the answer was that I had to either let the fraud happen, or stop advertising on mobile (even in sites) entirely. I took the second option (and the SEO and ad-ranking hit, since google hates when you ignore mobile)
It's a really interesting game, and really cool things happen in it, but I wouldn't play it unless you find space-sims inherently interesting.

Your character gets better the more time you invest in playing the game, so you gotta be dedicated. Also, traveling is ridiculously dangerous because 1 wrong jump, and BOOM!, you're dead and your ship is gone. That's about where I stopped because I lost my ship, its upgrades, and they also destroyed my escape pod, so IIRC, I had to start my character from scratch? Idk, really cool game but also really frustrating.
Under the NLRA, you are never required to join a union. You may be required to pay union dues, and the union will still represent you in collective bargaining, but that doesn't make you a union member.
> so I think the meaning here is not as strong

Your post in interesting. I agree yet disagree. You got the context correct but he explicitly said 'it's the standard now for 32 bit general purpose instruction sets and it's got the 16 bit compressed stuff. Learning from the best still'.

Standard =/ state of the art but in this context, he's stating that learning from the best (state of the art CPU designs) is by learning RISC-V.

One doesn't say something is a standard and state of the art in one breathe, to somehow believe that they're doing something outdated or from 1991's knowledge base.

I think you're interpretation of his message would need to have further explicit statements from him to support your claim (that somehow 'state of the art' doesn't mean for CPU design, instead of just learning CPU design).

The listener would be better suited to follow @seedless-sensat's (and my) understanding because there is no evidence to the contrary of what we're stating. The speaker intended both (but if you can find evidence to support your different thesis, I look forward to investigating it further).

Some comments on this thread are a great example of what the authour here is pointing out:

"... the common reaction was that I was just being ‘nostalgic’; that surely my MacBook Pro was the better choice because it is orders of magnitude faster, with a ‘more modern’ OS, and that the sum of those parts was a better Mac experience. That I should ‘be rational’ and accept that."

I think it's clear from the comments on HN and the increasing frequency of articles like these that not everyone is thrilled with the iOS-ification of the Mac desktop.
You sure talk in certain terms. I would think someone claiming to understand the issue at such a more sophisticated level than WSB would know better than to think one can fully understand the situation. Regardless of the outcome, there was a pile of gold to be made with your certainty if there was any credibility to back it up.

Do you have a finance background and relevant expertise, or are you just another armchair critic getting his word in...looking at where the price has moved and arguing "of course it has!". in this case, what makes you any different from those you're condescending?

It's new territory for all of us, why pretend otherwise?

Why? This was the situation in the 90s. No one trusted the internet. It's hard to imagine unless you lived it, but buying something online was once seen as completely stupid, and people were universally skeptical of information (and people) online. We should be more concerned about the level of trust built up since then, not the other way around.

Pipewire is still 0.x as of today, let alone when they last tried it, so I don't think anybody should be going to Slack like they were too lazy to build it "right". Besides even if it was built with that the screensharing via pipewire isn't at feature parity with normal screen/monitor/window level sharing so it's not a 1:1 drop in quite yet.

Wayland said screen sharing is something to be solved outside of Wayland itself. That solution is still early and not complete. It's not anybody's problem, it's just how things are. It'll get fixed eventually, in the meantime X11 still runs fine for most users and in 6-12 months switching to Wayland should have fewer tradeoffs. Until then Wayland is missing some use cases X11 easy fulfills. Unfortunately X11 is also missing many use cases Wayland fills. As a result we should expect different users to be better served by different answers about how ready a Wayland environment is for them and both to be equally correct.
I disagree, this happened before with pulseaudio,
it was not ready and for years people would recommend to remove it, so the leason is not replace something that works now with something that is shiny but might work next year.

I also think NVIDIA had a role in this default display issue, Ubuntu has to use something that actually works on all hardware combinations,competent users can install and try a Wayland implementation or all of them.

> And then if the new users still want to use the old thing you've got a pretty good red flag that you messed it up.

Your new UI might be garbage, but there's no red flag here. A new user will likely need to make use of tutorials, troubleshooting, and other help online; most or all of which will be based on your old UI (and possibly coupled with comments like, 'Don't use the new UI, it's trash. Here is how to switch...'). Having been such a new user, I only pick the new UI when forced or when it's clearly better; the former being the more common case.

Sure, you can make your official documentation use the correct UI (or design your UI in such a way that the documentation can be agnostic—but then what is this big change that makes lives better?), but unless your documentation is very good, people are still going to need to reference all these other sources.
This is a hypothetical, importance or non-importance is an assumption either way. I didn't realize importance was assumed here.
The Windows ecosystem is invisibly fragmented by the million policies that change depending on install version, tier and patch level and largely misunderstood.

I think it is hard to overstate how impressive this is. While it aims to be well integrated in tech workflows, it is a product that allows designers to work well, with a nice, usable and useful UI.

For the few designers in open source, designing with open source software is often a love/hate activity: We want to use and support open software, but it often is painful to use, lacks features relevant for design activities (which, yes, can mean: Being similar to industry standard products) while at the same time being overflowing with settings.

Trying penpot makes me look forward to a product with a clear vision and great utility.

That's a much-abused talking point. Freddy Mercury died of Pneumonia, but that doesn't really tell the whole story, does it. It's like blaming the tree in a car crash.

I don't want to sound like I'm gloating, I wouldn't want to wish anyone ill. But realistically he was at the age where the first thing to come along is enough. And it was.

Fair play to him, 100 years well spent.

They are optimizing only for code size, so they don't need to run the code: they only count bytes emitted.

This works by changing around the order / interleaving of various LLVM optimization phases, so the learning process does not require knowledge of program timing or correctness.
From the outside this sounds more like a "the wrong kind of crowd" type of problem. There are many communities that have fruitful and interesting discussions and are accommodating and friendly to newcomers, beginners and the like. Usually whether "HTML is a programming language" and whether people come from bootcamps or universities are not hot topics or discussed at all.

>But it doesn't work for me (aka. important features are buggy in the gnome/wayland/whatever stack I am using if I select wayland in gdm).

GNOME doesn't work for you. GNOME uses Wayland, but the bugs you experienced are not the fault of Wayland. They're the fault of GNOME.

GNOME is a dumpster fire and its premature roll-out to Fedora, Ubuntu, etc was very badly done. None of that has any bearing on Wayland, except to fuel the flames for spiteful people who choose to use the botched GNOME roll-out to harass anyone who has anything to do with Wayland.

In 2016, the Internet discovered they can mess with politics.

In 2021, the Internet discovered they can mess with finance.

There are other instances of this, but the general theme is people who traditionally only operate on the Internet occasionally discover ways to have an impact on the "real" world. They get so drunk with power, they do something stupid with it, and the rest of the world sighs as we get to work cleaning up the mess they've made after they get bored.

And there are also indications of illegal practices (naked short selling), people are asking themselves why stock purchase settling takes two days instead of either seconds (or, to account for an option to unwind mis-trades, hours) which was why Robinhood and others suddenly found themselves in a dire need for cash, and why/how Robinhood can afford their cheap fees (because they're selling off the data of their users).

The most important part that the world learned from $GME is another: the big promise after 2008ff was "we learned from our mistakes, regulations were passed to rein in dangerous speculation"... and $GME proved undeniably that this has not happened, not during the Obama admin and certainly not under the Trump admin. Wall Street still is a casino, not a stock exchange.

Yes. Look at the history of the dot com bubble bursting in 2000 or the 2008 financial crisis and you’ll find tons of people who were massively exposed, often writing books or blogging about how they were making crazy amounts of money, and then the party stopped and their can’t-lose “investments” weren’t.

This is the Technical product managers job. The architects role is suppose to be an extreme high level view of purely the technical side of the business.

From my own anecdotal experience "architects" who try to fulfill the role to the definition end up being mostly useless.
In my experience it's rarely (read: never) that clear, is my point. When it's that "obviously" wrong, there's almost certainly something you don't understand.
No, it doesn't. What matters is that xclip and vnc aren't broken on Wayland. I mean, xclip is, but it's called xclip for a reason. The use-case is not broken, and is fulfilled instead by a tool called wl-clipboard.
