Okay; good for you.

I myself consume so much content on YouTube (hours of video essays and podcasts) - and the ads are so relentlessly aggressive - that paying an extremely minimal fee each month for the service is an absolute no-brainer.

How is this even first page HN material? It’s entirely a personal choice as to whether a certain streaming service is worth it to you or not.

Do I make a blog post that’s suddenly trending because I decided not to subscribe to Paramount+?
It's strange how this man his revered by a few cinema nerds and despised or ignored by the vast silent majority. I found the few movies of him I watched just plain boring.
Maybe this article explain why: because to appreciate Godard, you need to deeply understand the code of cinema. I don't know them, couldn't care less and people don't care either unless they are cinema nerds. But if you understand cinema code, you can understand how he virtuously play with them.
> It is interesting how neither the Russians nor the West delves on to what extent this whole affair is about Germany, and the role Germany played in all this.

And thats fine, because the issue is neither russia not the west. The issue is east europe, the region of it thats sandwiched between russia and central europe (germany). Just to be clear, my aim is not germans but german politics which find it extremely convenient that a weak east europe cant compete with germany.

In regards to croatia and slovenia, and pretty much all other east eu countries, indeed germany has a good humanitarian track record and has been a steady supporter of democratisation of these countries. But somehow it managed to block their development through excessive regulation, and excessive chauvinism.

There is no debate about east europe on here where a person from that country doesnt throw in corruption and poverty, none of which are on a scale as bad as so dominate every.single.discussion.

Americans dont exhibit the same behaviour when it comes to india, yet india is far poorer and far more corrupt than any east eu country, yet germans always poop on poland, hungary, romania, and so on. A very inhibitive approach in my view, and very non allied like behaviour.
> "Driving me away from the platform"

Lol. Where else are you going to go? YouTube is a de facto monopoly when it comes to self-published shortform videos.

The consequences of the "everything-is-free" Web 2.0 internet has created some very arrogant consumers that won't even pay $10/mo. to support content creators.
Haha, Getty images should be planning a big pivot strategy, not worrying about AI content. I predict that within 5 years we will have this all refined to the point where we can generate almost any image we want, to our liking.

If you're shopping for a stock photo, you only have what's available. I've looked for things before, and sometimes you have lots of options which just aren't quite what you want. So you take "good enough". AI can already generate "good enough" with some prompt and parameter practice.

> The reason why technical people look down on full stack engineers is because they are usually just web developers.

To give some context here, yes, when people refer to full stack developers, they're usually referring to developers who are focused on web development, but that would also include API development, or even mobile development.

I don't think anyone thinks of full stack developers, as developers who know embedded development or compiler development, so I don't know anyone who looks down on them for not knowing these things.

> It's hard for a full stack engineer to see or admit to this because of bias, it's much easier for someone outside of web development to see it, or a more well rounded engineer to realize it.

Now obviously, the way that you put it, it's extremely difficult to say why you're wrong, because you've started by adding a bias to people who would defend it. So maybe, when you want to have a discussion about it, don't start by stating something that makes it extremely difficult to argue against it without being seen as having a bias.

$4800 is what the previous RTX A6000 costs in the US after taxes. That is a BIG cost for anyone outside of a professional setting.

You could buy 2 x 3090's with NVLINK for half that. I recently bought a datacenter M40 with 24GB of RAM for $150 on Ebay then added water cooling. The Dell Precision 5810 I bought second hand can now run some really interesting stuff on those 24GB of RAM albeit slower than a 3090. For less than $500 I can have two watercooled M40's that will run almost anything I can throw at them.
With Chromebooks, that would be after release.
> can you dig your heels in if you end up on one of the bad teams and just refuse to stay late

I mean, literally anybody anywhere can do this. Whether you get fired depends on your performance evaluations. Like any organization, the biggest reasons to stay late is (a) too high expectations were set, (b) failures to re-adjust to new information (e.g. we had to pull you off your project for 2 weeks but still expect you to make your deadline), (c) paging / oncall. At AWS, I'd say (c) is the biggest risk, but (a) and (b) can also be present at any team of course.

> Is it just the luck of the draw who ends up on the teams with good managers

Yeah, that's my impression. When you're already in Amazon though, you're empowered because you have a much greater ability to gather information about a team before deciding if you want to transfer. For example, message/meet with devs on the team, look at their ticket queue to see how often the oncall gets paged, and so on.

> Or can you easily switch teams until you find a good one?

I don't know about "until you find a good one", but transferring is pretty normalized. If you've been here a year or two, it's normal to want to transfer, and even before that it's not impossible. You can't transfer if you're on a performance improvement plan, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward
Nice! Reminds me of the native MacOS apps Numi and Soulver. But being web-based and understanding python opens up a lot of interesting possibilities that those apps don't have.

> Get ready for WW3.

Against who? Russia can't even fight Ukraine. China es calling for peace. This is a minor regional conflict. I feel sorry for the people of Ukraine and Russia that are going to suffer and die pointlessly for the delusional imperial ambitions of an old man that lives 75 years in the pass.

Putin is the new Mussolini, getting his ass handed to him while trying to invade Greece and for exactly the same reasons; mainly a low moral, low quality army that doesn't want to fight that war.
The older I get, the less I care about which distribution comes on a linux laptop. The fact that it exists at all is a reason to consider the model.

A production linux laptop is a clear statement, "All of our hardware is immediately compatible with linux. Sure, our distro has little warts, but you can either install your own or `apt-get install fluxbox`, copy in your config files, and get right to work, ISL."

I used to wonder who these people are too, but I think they mostly aren't that visible or at least prominent in actual rust threads. But you do occasionally see drive-by posts in places like /r/cpp along the lines of "should I learn C++ and Rust?" along with a long list of why Rust is so much better than C++. I'd sour to Rust too, if that was my primary interaction with the "community".

That is good to know. But I looked this up and what I've found is Jonathan Corbet saying in 2010 that "occasional" posting of subscriber links is fine.[1]

I am not Jonathan Corbet so I don't know what he considers occasional. But this is the fourth LWN subscriber link posted in the past 7 days, and the eighth in the past 14 days.[2]

For reference, LWN currently lists 10 paywalled posts, the oldest from 13 days ago.[3] Those posted on HN are nearly every paywalled article that they have.

I'm a huge chromebook fan actually -- but my current one is looking a tad unsupported (pixel slate)

I've been considering a framework as a replacement actually!

One of the things I really care about is battery life + sleep performance.

The article mentions:

> .* At the same time, the Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition is our most power efficient product yet with optimizations from Google and Intel that allow for long-lasting battery life.

Can you provide some numbers around the battery life improvements? Sounds exciting! (And are these going to be backported to the normal 12th gen boards, or is it a feature of the unique mainboard/not firmware?)

Can you speak to the OS image as well? Is there any non-upstream drivers that are relied on? I notice lots of chromebooks have drivers that aren't in the regular upstream kernel, but just in the chromiumos source. I'm hoping that I could eventually swap OS' if needed w/o getting a new mainboard, and want to see how viable that is.

Thanks for the hard work, and in advance for the questions!

(P.S. like everyone else, AMD would be exciting if you don't know that :p)

[edit] one of my biggest disappointments in my slate is that it never received vm-in-vm support with the newer kernel. Is /dev/kvm available in the linux container? I _think_ that goes hand in hand with the steam supuport, but not sure
Thank you so much for making a keyboard without a Windows key and for selling it separately as well. The product page says it’s only compatible with the Chromebook edition though, does this just mean the function keys won’t be mapped or that it won’t work at all?

> I'll try, but ultimately what makes youtube valuable is its content creators, and youtube hasn't pissed them off enough to make them all switch to an alternative yet, as no one else has the audience and budget.

For me this is getting less and less true by the day. Over the top voice inflection (to appeal to kids), in-video ads that are sometimes minutes long, etc. Try looking up a video on almost anything programming. Without a doubt the search will send you to some obnoxious shill like TechLead or the 1,000 people like him. It is VERY difficult to find stuff.

Aside from very niche creators the average "content creator" is a really annoying shill. Youtube has changed from a platform for people to post interesting things to a TV network where quality isn't even controlled. I'm not sure how anyone can justify paying for that.
The same thing happened to me with Hotmail. It was previously great at spotting spam, but recently has stopped sending it to junk.
There's also performance / availability / capacity things to consider as well. It may be for some, but the $/storage isn't typically the whole story.
> How do you differentiate crypto from any other video game currency.

Don't. Don't differentiate those, and ban them all. Nothing of value would be lost.
It's a valid question. Since there are few to no current products in this segment, we really are testing it. We get to do tests like this much more efficiently than most because we can leverage our existing modular product and build just new modules needed for it.

TikTok Has Bent Its Rules for Its Top Creators
In the 80s and 90s, you could often use your old compiled binaries for decades. No recompile after an OS release. For example, I had binaries compiled in the mid-80s on a DEC running Digital UNIX that worked through all the upgrades to the systems to bring them to Tru64/TruCluster. That was a big part of the value of the system.

I also had a Mathematica binary (statically compiled except for libc) that ran on Linux from 1998 to 2010, including X windows (at some point, somebody moved the X files to a different location, so I had to set an env var).
I have similar issue, but with a different flavor:

About 10 times per day I receive a blank email from an obviously throwaway spam account (e.g. vishal382190130 at gmail dot com)

For the life of me I cannot understand the purpose or goal of these emails, from the spammers' point of view. I've heard the theory that spammers will send "test" emails to check if a destination account is active... But every day? All the time? Is it possible somehow to assure the spammers that my account is active, and to start sending me actual spam, instead of empty messages?

I am not deeply familiar with nats.io, so I could be wrong in my comparisons.

OpenZiti is a connection-oriented overlay network vs NATS a messaging system.

OpenZiti SDKs are more easily embeddable in existing applications as it does not require changes in networking semantics.
It is very easy to see hypocrisy in the FurAffinty statement:

We don’t believe it’s in our community’s best interests to allow human generated content on the site."

People said much the same about Syria, and yet Assad is still there.

Ukraine would be foolish to trust the North America or Europe to support them forever, especially if even more major economic issues happen in either continent.

That seems to be Putins play, he is hoping the West's internal issues sufficiently flare up. This winter will probably determine that. The only real diplomatic path is to convince China to sever with Russia, and thats not gonna happen. Its well understood China is looking at this as a dry run for what kind of responses to expect if Taiwan gets attacked. And China is the clear winner of the Ukraine conflict right now.

This line is getting very tired. How is 'we got rid of net capacity' a problem with renewables? If I get rid of my 10kW gas furnace and replace it with a 1kW heat pump that consumes 300W, it has nothing to do with an 'insufficiency' of heat pumps when I freeze to death.
Do they have an internal product codes separate from marketing names, e.g. Model A2649, Model 1900, 0F10383, 11A511, 3270, 993, etc., or are their internal systems all like "RTX6000ADA"?
For sure but if you're watching 2 vids a week that's only like a few minutes of ads. For people who use Youtube as entertainment, I'd recommend premium. You also get unlimited music streaming with that so it's a solid deal. Cancel your spotify sub and get youtube music which has the same or more songs and you get ad-free youtube as a bonus.

>$/transistor could be the biggest variable here. My understanding is that we haven't been seeing this lower even with node shrinks.

Purely from a Wafer, Transistor per Die Space hence Cost per transistor, we are still getting it cheaper per node generation. The ratio, cost per transistor may not be dropping "as much" as what we were used to. But it is still dropping.

However the Initial cost for product development on new node is increasing. This fixed cost, ( think CAPEX ) amortised over "fixed volume" would mean the cost per "die" would also be increasing.

So once you add those together you will see we are at the end of the power curve.
