Except that now there is a lot of competition in the Netflix space.

Part of the reason cable is/was so expensive is that you wanted more
than one channel so you could see shows on other channels.

Netflix is now just s channel, HBO, Amazon, AppleTV (whatever they call it),Disney. Want to watch Boba Fett but still follow a show on Netflix,
now you are paying for two channels. (and so on).

Of course you can rotate, Netflix one month, Disney the next, but
by spacing out release to once a week, they can hook people into
subscibting to several streaming services.
No, I meant 250k. But “smaller” was relative to celebrities and politicians and such with millions.

Not all accounts I follow are that big. Many are closer to 10k. Some around 5k. There are a handful less than that but they are often people I know in person or tiny podcasts I listen to.
People are already effectively playing as NPCs in popular videogames. They're called gold farmers.

If you gave me the option as I got closer to 70, that I could be uploaded, and take up zero physical space, and live forever, I would jump at the chance. I don't think it's narcissistic at all. Imagine being able to communicate with your ancestors.. the opportunities for preserving knowledge and ending physical suffering, including the impact of humans living on the planet.
Maybe we all just live forever until we run out of disk space. Maybe eventually we can have a lottery/queue where people take turns getting decanted for some IRL living.
Yeah it's difficult. Few people get the chance to work on really important work. A lot has to do with luck. Basically if you were not born in he right time then the chance going to be negligible. And even if you are in the right era you still have to be good.

I think this has something to do with mid life existential crisis in whcih pretty much everyone realizes that one's work is not important while one is drowned by all the social responsibility (kids, aging parents, etc.).
Given the right tools, you should be able to handle double the max load that they are expecting given a beefy enough server. Their architecture is a bit too complex for my taste, but given that reddit is written in python it is not surprising that this was the direction that they took. You could use tsung (http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/1/01/about/) to test workloads at that level. This would be a pretty straightforward project to build with erlang/elixir's gen_server abstraction.
I find their phones OK when new but I have a feeling at the 2 year mark they turn off software optimizations in an android update. I have no proof but the speed of the device degrades significantly. It goes from nice and fast to _adequate_ speed but not snappy smooth and always with irritating lag on some basic functions like keyboard. (my experience with flagship Galaxy S / Note series)

Sure enough, the current year model is blazingly fast with same apps installed, even when the specs are not very different... speed lasts until that 2 year mark comes.
if you can just get the model to answer the question you actually care about?
LOL your level of optimism is over 9000. Language models are shit, they regularly utter nonsense and have an impressive number of limitations (e.g. no continual learning). A neuro-symbolic system on the other hand can be incrementally improved upon, has continual learning/a memory, and is interpretable.
To be real in between the love what you do and obstacles, there will be everything in between love and hate where you won’t necessarily like at all. It boils back down to feel like you are working. It’s a whole new experience but in a rhymed manner to “office work”. You will also have a whole new set of problems regarding self control and accountability that was baked in the office setting, but you will need to implement on your own.
I did not participate in the reddit place event, but I did witness this drama play out as I was browsing the site.

The psychological response to this was also fittingly Canadian. Ultimately the chaotic symbol was dubbled the "merple lerf", and accepted in the good humour that it deserved to be.

Now allow me to take 20-50 minutes to dissect what this event means to the Canadian identity, and how the chaotic aspect of the symbol may reflect deeper schisms and currents that underscore the Canadian experience.

I quit Samsung as soon as I started getting ads for Spotify on the music player on my Galaxy S5, and just started buying shenzhen chinese phones. I haven't seen an ad or piece of bloatware since. The quality is quite good, and the features often surpass most mid-range devices for about half the price. They're either stock android or very close to it.
I spent some time to build my own web-based markdown editor, and was using minisearch[0] to index and do fuzzy search on my notes. I've recently switched to Obsidian and plan to make a similar extension in the next weeks.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into direnv, as I only heard about it, but never really investigated.

If people don't use rvm, do you know what they use to install a specific Ruby version? We basically use it so that we can use a Ruby that's not bundled with the distros anymore (large legacy project).
Yeah I think for non-HN crowd this will hopefully save people time/money with insurance claims.

But for privacy conscious people, I don’t see anything they could say to have me trust them. Nothing against HomeSheet in particular, but we don’t have any assurances that the data will not be sold (acquisition style).

The problem is that the recruiters are the face of the organization to those looking to become engineers.
The ad-hoc solutions you're talking about are often highly usable, a virtue often forgotten by software evangelists. Nix's learning curve will keep away people who are disciplined in avoiding yak-shaving, as the language specific version enables productivity now. Maybe adding a layer on top of Nix, like create-react-app is to webpack, can make it a better option for immediate productivity oriented developers.

That was because the s6 exynos was to first mobile cpu with 14nm and the equivalent snapdragon (810) was a particularly bad SoC. To the point where it was outperformed by previous gen snapdragons. So yes Exynos was competitive then, but mostly because the competition had an exceptionally bad year.
It's an interesting notion that the "my-ness" of my consciousness requires continuity – it must be continuous and uninterrupted.

Here's a fun thought experiment – imagine slowly, individually replacing each neuron in your brain with an identical copy, one at a time. You wouldn't notice each of these (a similar process probably happens throughout your life). Is it still "your" consciousness at the end of this process?

Now imagine that instead of an identical biological copy, we use some kind of technological copy that perfectly mimics the biological in I/O (of course, you must imagine we've invented such a thing). Now at the end of the process, your brain is completely electronic. Still "your" consciousness?

Now, take it one step further and imagine that instead of a technological copy that mimics I/O, we instead (slowly, one-by-one) hook the terminals of each neuron to some kind of transducer that allows us to simulate that nerve in a computer, but deliver the I/O back to any neighboring biological neuron (again, you must imagine we are able to do this). By the end, your brain is completely simulated. Still "your" consciousness?

It's difficult to say at which point in this progression the "you-ness" is lost. But I think most people would agree that it _is_ lost, at some point.

(FWIW, I realize that this argument is somewhat isomorphic to a Ship of Theseus – with a little bit of techno-dysphoria mixed in).
I have a problem because their catalog has decreased significantly. Out are good old shows with many seasons and twenty shows per season. In are a few formularic Netflix originals with two seasons and 8 to 10 episodes a season.

Not all is bad, of course, but I quickly run out of good content and if I see something I would like to watch later, it is often gone by then.

Then I can search for it, only for Netflix to show me a bunch of irrelevant stuff not even close to what I was looking for.
It also helps if you are Alan Kay or the other talents that were at PARC back then. What future would you create if you had a custom $100K (2022 dollars) workstation?
You can easily get well past $40k once you start adding some Quadro GPUs, 192gb RAM and a few TBs of PCIe storage into any of the mainstream manufacturers’ workstation products.
Agreed. The problem is, the competition is worse... basically only with Samsung and Google you have the assurance that you'll get firmware updates for a reasonable amount of time, and Google's palette of devices is limited.
Humans are not geared for our "village" to be this big. The expansion of our sphere of "care" flies directly in the faces of thousands of years human evolution.

The "bubbles" we create, consume, and participate in are a subconscious attempt to slim down our giant "tribe" into something that our brains can manage. Of course these bubbles are readily aligned to people like ourselves - language, interest, appearance, culture, etc.

Expanding your bubble is hard. It takes work. As a result, most people don't.
I love finding things like these.

I recently went on a "copy to clipboard" campaign, adding all sorts of places to click and copy information to the clipboard. Nobody asked for it but I've gotten lots of love from folks where it has saved them a ton of time / hassle.

Meanwhile I've got high priority requests to remove a thing that "they don't need" and I know the moment I remove it ... I'll get a request to add it back.

There is a age old solution for managing multiple versions of the same software: gnu stow: https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/

What do you consider pro-Ukrainian media? The BBC?
Beggars can't be choosers, especially when asking support questions, and especially when they're not paying for it.

For every person who asks a question expecting (and deserving) a literal answer, there are dozens of ill-posed questions that require a clarifying preamble to get to any answer at all. It's better not to waste anybody's time.

Support people tend to be able to distinguish between the two pretty well, too. If you ask a precise syntax question, you'll have a precise answer. Ask a vague "do my homework" question, and expect people will ask for clarifications.

Their own 80286 clone?
The problem as I see it, Samsung wanted to carve out a piece of Android to create their own experience. They wanted to be like Apple and Google and have their own first party apps.

The problem is that Android already comes with all these first party apps so you just end up with duplication. This problem is only further compounded by the carrier having their hand in the cookie jar and having their own first party apps.

From this all you end up with is massive app duplication on your phone and every app fighting to be your choice. I remember buying an S7 from Verizon years back, it had 3 dialers, 3 messaging apps, and 4 web browsers.

Dialers: Verizon Dialer, Samsung Dialer, Android Dialer.

Messaging: Verizon Message, Samsung Messages, Android Messages

Web Browser: Verizon Web, Samsung Web, Chrome, <3rd party browser added by Samsung>, <3rd party browser added by Verizon>

I've went through that journey over the last 5 years. My calling is writing. I write here on HN to help validate my ideas and perspectives where I include them in my books and persona online.

In the meantime, I'm working on FIRE as a means to allow myself to do just that.

Financial freedom has always been my first goal, because it allows me to have the true autonomy I need to fulfill my passions/mission.
This is what no competition gives you. The Huaweis are much better, and were starting to eat into Samsung's business, but without the Google services its hard no for most people including me.
I chose to focus on the truth of everything, as I was surrounded by delusions and lies. (odd family and relationship/religion stuff)

This allows me to say "why are we/I doing this?" to nearly everything in my life. But also it forces me to answer the questions I don't want to face too. (why am I treating my body so poorly by X action? What will happen if I can't stop doing this?)

Just this morning dealing with 20+ year unresolved relationship communication issues... I was able to just say "can I have Y?" from my spouse and she said yes. But also I said "I feel like I am guessing what you want with Z, do you know what you want and are you waiting for me to guess?" And she said "I actually don't know what I want with Z."

I was able to say "That's good, because if you did know and we wasted 20 years more of me just guessing, that would be a lot of wasted time you not getting what you want, and it would make me feel pretty bad about this. And you just saying 'I don't know' means we get to figure it out together, which can be great."

Pure freedom, but it still only comes in moments despite my earth shattering experiences from the past, so you still have to work at it to keep it.
I'm pretty happy that i havent had to read celebrity news sites because i have an algorthmically light diet, especially in the last few weeks with Will Smith etc. Do you really think this nichemaking is bad inherently bad? The natural course is that good niches fill and grow until they become the mainstream and the folks who are nudged out go make new niches. this even happens with Big Media... It even happened here.

What are you suggesting is better, though? really, that we all just publish one of 10000 articles to dev.to and hope their search and popularity algorithm puts your article in front of peoples' eyes? That everyone should upload video to a single time-ordered feed that you have to scroll through until you find something you like without algorithmic involvement? Im seriously confused, how do you do content selection or personal curation in a world without niches
Nuclear fuel is recyclable. The safe place to put it is back in a reactor. There are political reasons that doesn’t happen, but not technical reasons.

Globally, nuclear has lower deaths per kWh than even wind, and significantly lower than natural gas or oil. From a US centric perspective, nuclear energy is by far the safest by an order of magnitude[0]. Even a catastrophe like Chernobyl resulted in the deaths of fewer people than a single year of oil and gas drilling.

Your parents may have interpreted the words "cares about you" to mean "has fond feelings and wants you to succeed" rather than "is interested in whatever you happen to be doing, in the busybody sense".

> Sadly, flashing a custom ROM on it involves tripping an eFuse and losing some Samsung functionality, but if you don't care about Samsung Pay and whatever other "secure" garbage they offer, it's worth it.

Well precisely. And Bugey is so close might as well be in Switzerland, heh. Atoms don't know about our imaginary lines.

I'm saying instead of collecting riches he opted to invade. It is a bummer but sometimes people are not rational actors, even in Europe it turns out.

> Not sure how that has anything todo with a far right french politician.

Generally far right movements have an affinity with Russia/Putin. You don't need to believe some unproven (or in some cases proven) theory about them being bankrolled by him.

Le Pen happens to have known ties but you can disregard this completely if you prefer. What I think you would find very interesting and somewhat alarming is the attitudes and political winds currently blowing even in your civilized neighbor France. Ask a French person first hand to lay it out.

It is relevant to your interests, especially now that you depend on them for energy. I know, fortress Switzerland, not used to this, but it is an important lesson to learn right now. Please don't repeat the mistakes of Germans.
> Where Adobe, MS, and other big companies thrive is the amount of high quality training and tutorials for inferior software.

I'm afraid I don't buy this unfounded muck-slinging.

I know the open-source evangelists live in a rose tinted world where open-source automatically equals better.

However I think its only fair and reasonable to admit that it is possible to make high quality closed-source software.

Specifically, in terms of Adobe, I think it is deeply unfair and unfounded to call it "inferior". There is, for example, high-levels of integration between Adobe tools that is simply not present in open-source.

Ultimately money talks. December 2021 there were 26 million Adobe Creative Suite subscribers and growing. If Adobe was that shit, do you really think people would continue paying them ?

I know some people running companies in the design sector (larger companies, not one-man band freelancers), Adobe is a necessary business expense, they pay it because they want it, because time is money, and if their designers get the job done better, quicker and more efficiently in Adobe then they will pay the subscription. (Oh, and to address your specific point, the designers spend exactly zero hours watching training and tutorials on the Adobe website).
Would you mind sharing how old you are? I've had several similar transitions, and I'd be curious how that compares.

I’d go an order of complexity above again.

Not when you start. While UE5 is no doubt orders of magnitude more complex than any web framework, no one sets out to write UE5. In fact most people start writing their own game engine because they want something a lot less complex and more tailored than what is available.

If you have the right background knocking out a very simple game engine isn't hard. Many people do it as part of a university course. The problem is that your 'simple' game engine ends up being not that simple very quickly once you start adding features.
Was it actually stolen though? Did a researcher take it to their office, mess up the paperwork to remove it, and was hit by a bus before they could return it.

I can imagine someone finding it in an old cupboard when an old don died and being embarrassed that they didn't return it immediately, so they did this
