Never heard of it, I am currently subscribed to Statia Pro, GEFORCE Now RTX, and MS Xbox Ultimate. Because I am 100% into game streaming. Its the future. But GEFORCE Now is the best. I have high hopes for Xbox.
Having written several feature length scripts, I'm certainly looking forward to trying this. But with an explosion of cheaply produced content, people will probably spend less time watching movies and TV shows. I'm a lot more selective now than I used to be because there's just too much stuff to watch even if I spent the rest of my life on the couch.

The current trend of remaking movies as 10 hour miniseries (and then making more and more seasons) is Not Great. Whereas I could be fascinated by a quirky-but-compelling original movie, I'm less attracted to 10+ hours of hyper-polished content. Sometimes I've watched a series and thought 'that was good, but it could have been a better movie.'

Of course they don't. They use decimals and say the baby is one week old or so.

Oh no, they have a plan to create a plan for layoffs, but as of right now there is no plan to layoff employees.
I wonder why they didn't just leave the play game page up and leave an engineer or two somewhere to make sure it still works. They could just start you a VM when you click play and kill it when you leave. Then they wouldn't have to give out any refunds.

Ask HN: Is there a gap in the wiki/docs+issue tracking space?
Most tools in the market are either/or and have a disjointed experience. They're either for documentation/memos/wikis or issue tracking. Yes, Confluence is part of the Atlassian landscape but it's not that tightly coupled (from a user experience perspective) with JIRA. They don't "live alongside" each other so to speak.

Notion is a little better but fails pretty badly at being an dev issue tracker.

Why does this matter? Because with most teams now remote/async/distributed, I'm seeing a lot more context not easily accessible and spread thin. I can see a lot of benefits from written context + tickets being more tightly coupled.

Does it seem to you that there's an opportunity for software that takes a fresh look at this?
I'm a little bit of an enthusiast (tried all of the major platforms). I have shitty rural internet, Stadia is (was) by far the best of the bunch by far, especially with the controller. Near-native for latency and crystal clear image. 40ms ping to Google.

Currently I use xcloud, its "acceptable" with certain games that don't require low latencies but its picture quality in particular is ass in comparison to Stadia. RIP.
>Oh gosh, you have my respect. You've gone right in with the apex challenge there; to de-bias the sam harris readership!

To be clear we're not talking about prejudice but rather just bias. Which is certainly interesting to why Harris biases toward men, but not really seeing the problem. There is absolutely no problem in having a bias. Everyone and everything has to figure out their target audience and more often than not you will pick your own identity group.

>Worth noting as well: the authors' genders are not noted manually. From the implementation notes:

So you are actively misgendering and discriminating against trans people amongst virtually everyone else. .

>I have .. opinions on this (Miles-long screed in which I navigate the topic of how best we go about creating more equitable systems where previously systemic biases have held sway for so long. /... years later after we gather to read libraries of reflections on affirmative action and positive discriminations.../ we border on agreement that perhaps it's ok to counter a 95:5 bias with 5:95 and not be too perturbed :p)

I guess we disagree here. You flagrantly discriminate against everyone and then introduce a completely broken biased results. The way I see it you are likely to be a bad actor here.
Game streaming is great for casual gamers. A lot of games are perfectly playable even with 200ms tacked on, actually.

It's unacceptable even with a 1ms link (because of the extra 2-3 frames of latency that get buffered in) for hardcore players in some genres. Even if they can't see the difference, they'll feel it when they miss shots in FPS games and links/confirms/parries in fighting games

Unfortunately, most of the people here and in the industry making these streaming products are adults with real lives who don't understand how bad game streaming is for hardcore players
To get the inevitable question out of the way immediately: how do NFTs help? They're just receipts of purchase, not the purchase itself. If you're saying that someone else would honor the receipt of a different store... why?
How was Destiny PvP on Stadia?
GeForce now is great and if I ever get a new gaming PC, I can play every last game on my own GPU. The tech works perfectly, the free tier is generous and the subscription is a value. Stadia was behind the moment they launched and flat out refused to give an inch to improve the product.

This is a company so obviously in love with its incredible success from ages gone by that it thinks we still owe it our brand loyalty. We do not.
Pumped hydro is very limited and most resources are already exploited. Wind energy is not a solution because sometimes it just doesn't appear when you need it.

Nuclear actually is a solution, in the sense that if you implement it, the problem will go away. Renewables are not a solution in the sense that even if you over-implement to an absurd degree, with present technology the problem will sometimes remain.

The people pointing this out are not zealots, they're people with a basic understanding of how electricity works. It's the people who insist against basic physics that renewables can power 100% of the grid that are the zealots, and now we all will pay the price for accommodating their extremism :(
I’ll chime in with a somewhat positive and opposite note. I bought 77 + Stadia + Chromecast under the legal impression that under EU-law I would always get a refund. They give refunds and I’ve played on a pretty well working platform. This went pretty well considering Google being Google. (Note: have not heard anything from Google directly yet.)
I found much more peace as an employee by accepting that all executives lie to some degree

In their circles it’s called “controlling the message”, “not causing panic”, “simplifying” etc. They often simply do not believe it’s lying
So... Just to get this correct, the social media person who probably isn't privvy to plans affecting their job in two months should have written something along the lines of "were told it's going to be ok, but who even knows with Google"?
> Of course, this was long before they sold ephemeral digital things

But by that point they had established themselves. They earned trust before selling things that required that trust.
Oh you sweet, summer child. That is not how gaming NFTs are going to work. They are not going to be consumer-friendly transferable assets.

They are going to be vendor-locked, and they will only get invested in if they increase the bottom line of the walled garden that produces them.

Yeah, it's because of this statement from an extremely trustworthy source that I'm looking for context here. I suspect most of the big problems haven't been suddenly and magically overcome? E.g. how close are we, given this, to supporting an AAA game, let's say from a few years ago?
> Personally I don't think it IS just a matter of time before nukes are used. Putin is not a nice guy, but he isn't a comic book villain.

Whenever somebody said that "Putin is not that crazy to do X" – he eventually did exactly that.

Hear it from the Russian soldiers themselves:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/09/28/world/europe/...

The thing is, he might have no other choice: he is a strongman, and for any strongman loosing a war would mean the end of being in power.

> Plus this is a ground war, so any nuke ruins the land they're fighting over and kills as many of their own troops (who aren't exactly equipped for basic fighting, let alone fallout)

If you know the history of the Soviet Union, you know that they don't care about the lives of their own people, at all.

How many Soviet soldiers died in WWII? About 10M.

How many Russians soldiers died in the past 7 months alone? Between 50-80K.

> Russia has enough nukes (almost 6000, and the ability to deliver them) to annihilate any other country, and put the whole planet into nuclear winter. That makes them a super power, even if they cannot win a ground war with Ukraine. For reference, India only has 160

Many analysts point out, that all the Russian nukes are from the 1960s-1980s, and given the state of all their military equipment during the invasion there is an extremely high likelihood of complete failure to deliver any threat at all.
A friend gave me a Amazon Luna controller he didn't want.

I was pleasantly surprised that the controller synced via BT. I was able to play non-Luna FireTV games with no problems.

It even worked without the Luna software installed on my FireTV Stick (I don't recommend you buy a FireTV stick, nor any FireTV product really).

The concept of the Luna software is interesting: Cloud streamed HD gaming on low-end hardware. Game play was really responsive. Very little video artifacts. But like all other FireTV products, the UX was geared towards sales, not user ergonomics.

I plan to uninstall the Luna app and just play the few FireTV games that I have. Sadly Alto's Adventure is too resource intense for my FireTV Stick.

Google is like an abusive partner. You keep hoping this time will be different, they'll try harder, they'll really commit to something good, they won't lie to your face, etc.
What on earth does this comment have to do with the post?
This is entirely a failure of management rather than engineering.

The kind of single player AAA titles they were promoting are always going to look better and be more responsive on local hardware. They should have leaned into Stadia as a backend for massively multiplayer online games, where they would have the advantage of cheat protection and a subscription revenue model. Instead they pushed for a purchase model that exacerbated all of online gaming's shortcomings while minimizing the advantages.

The Stadia infrastructure may yet succeed, but never under Phil Harrison. He should have been sacked years ago.
I remember it using a Java applet. I think the reason none of the online test sites support it is because it’s hard to test latency & jitter in the browser as the lower layers try hard to compensate for it.
"fear of failure and intolerance for anything less than instant success...focused on short-term dipshit Wall Street investors"

A nice distillation of most of SV these days.
They knew game streaming wasn't ready for prime time. The strategy, I imagine, was to get in early and suffer some growing pains to cement a toehold that positions Google as a major player if/when game streaming goes mass market. I guess the bean counters at Alphabet decided the juice is no longer worth the squeeze.
We’ll see about that in about 10 years when security budget goes down with each halvening
Highly disagree. Seems you have not tested current game streaming as Gamepass or GeForce Now.

Nobody would have prevented them from changing the ToS after a few years to not refund new purchases after date X. It would have been a bad signal but if the platform was successful people wouldn't really mind.
By that logic is there any point in doing any sort of research on anything?
Even the Gaggia Classic has an OPV, and it's an entry level machine.
I'll respond to this comment but there are a number in the same vein: "Russia would still have X% working nukes even if Y% don't work, and they have lots of nukes."

That is true. However, what's missing from this assessment in my view is the difference between strategic nukes (the kind that level a city) and tactical nukes (the kind you use for specific tactical goals, and the only kind being discussed as likely to be used here).

Russia has enough working strategic nukes that any kind of direct offense against the Russian homeland is always gonna be off the table. That is totally true. But nobody, including Russia, has suggested those are going to be used at all.

Rather, what is contemplated is using a tactical nuclear weapon to make a statement or accomplish a specific wartime goal. With regards to tactical nukes specifically, I think this claim:

> 5% still working is enough to deter NATO from directly attacking Russian forces.

is possibly not true. I think NATO might be willing to engage Russia conventionally if it is clear their tactical nukes don't work - and maybe even if they do work, because that may be among what has been threatened as a response to the use of a tactical nuke.

If Russia threatens to bomb Warsaw or DC, the situation changes again. But nobody has put that on the table... yet.
I believe the definition of micronutrient covers electrolytes (including phosphorus), but I see what you're saying. There would definitely be challenges!

I wonder suspect this would be alleviated if survivors managed to get like 300 calories a day of various foods, which seems more likely than pure starvation.
Super sincere question.

> Google's reputation for not supporting things long term

I didn't know Google had such a reputation. I mostly use drive and gmail, so it was fine to me.

Does google really have such a reputation? Any place I can read more on this?
> A lot of people saying it's over for traditional movie-making

who is saying that?
In practice, it is always a heavily oversubscribed network that never delivers sustained bandwidth for either up or down.

Contrast to whenever I have used a symmetric fiber connection that advertises 1Gbps/1Gbps, I can actually sustain close to both of those and at sub 5ms latency. Whatever the theoretical promise is, I assume non fiber non symmetric connections are simply low quality (in the USA).
Experimental WebTransport over HTTP/3 support in Kestrel
It's not that scary if you actually bother doing binary analysis. Especially now with things like Godbolt.

What made it as horrifying as it was at the time was the closed nature of compilers, and the increasing unfamiliarity with what actual machine code looked like, and the non-existence of tooling to help recerse actual runtime behavior.

Popping in a hidden 'hunter2' login handler is still going to require hiding/deriving/comparing against that state/hash/input on that machine. That extra cruft is going to stick out.

Whether anyone can be bothered to dig into it is another question. Theoretically speaking though, all computation is human reading or writing, just implemented with circuits.

Did I even hint that I was assuming anything about native vs. non-native English speaker? Or blaming non-native speakers? No. Play that wounded ESL violin somewhere else.

> I made a mistake, alright, ...

I said that I think that it is bad style. Alright. I didn’t say that it is wrong. (People are doing it a lot these days so apparently it isn’t wrong.)

I've been seeing ads for Chrome around northern Seattle (Shoreline) area

At first I was baffled why they would possibly need to advertise Chrome in the US. But in retrospect it might just be feather ruffling in Edge (Microsofts) backyard?
That's a shame, I played a few games on Stadia and thought it worked great.
Great work, the v-tuber wierd thing doesn't affect of the value of this work.
I'm surprised, I haven't actually encountered any issues yet after talking to 3 different bots. Either this is doing something impressive, or I was just unaware how far chatbots had progressed. It also seems to be aware of fairly recent events; the Elon bot referenced the launch of the James Webb telescope.
If you share the hmac key or do private/public key signing you're able to distribute the public signing keys to your infra.

In doing so you just validate the token against the public key. You can then rotate these keys and have a list of them to validate against and age off keys which would be the last tokens expiration +1 day.
That's correct.

Most people in the UK have no idea that there is an effective 60% tax rate either. It's not an official tax band.

But it's the kind of tax raising governments love doing, by stealth. Don't put up the tax band thresholds causing more people to fall into the higher bands over time. They also remove child tax credit as you earn more. And remove your personal tax allowance gradually over 100k.
Funny, the stadiacountdown.com counter had actually been over-optimistic, by almost a full year, saying there are 414 days left (extrapolated based on [0]), but with the new announcement of a shutdown date of January 18, 2023, there are only 111 days to go. May it rest in peace.

As for whether Google should be taking bets that they might not be able to support, I'm actually very much against this. I would suggest that they pour their money into supporting independent start-ups, e.g. via GV[1], and then possibly acquiring them if things go well, rather than further tarnishing the Google brand.

> What is the social media person supposed to say in this case?

If they can't find peace with everybody calling them a professional liar, they should quit their job and find an honest line of work.
Google's tendency to do this is why I will never pay Google for any of their services, nor jump onboard any that don't already have widespread adoption. I knew Stadia wouldn't last, and I knew it'd be a better choice to stick with companies that actually have some experience in the games industry instead.

So good job guys. You proved that yet again, Google will kill off a new service/product before it ever has the chance to get good, and validated everyone's fears about the same.
Companies, governments, and politicians do not say things to inform you about what is happening or what they are doing. They say things to produce in the listener the state they desire, whatever that may be, and they have few limitations as to what they will say to do that. (Not quite "zero", but definitely "few".)

The sooner you learn this, the more information you can get from this sort of release. It doesn't mean you can perfectly decode it, it just means you can get more information. And the amount of time that "more information" outright contradicts the nominal content of the statement... it's not terribly uncommon. It's certainly the normal case that the decoded content heavily shades the nominal content.
I never so much as a saw a single advertisement or retail display for Stadia in the two years since it launched.

Microsoft lost A BILLION dollars a year for 4 YEARS before they ever turned a profit on Xbox.

You cannot "Lean Startup" your way into a consumer platform.
Oh that happened to me recently. So I actually talk to both beggars and cops, which nobody does, everybody takes advice from civil rights lawyers and the gangsters they give impunity, which agree that you should never talk to police. Same advice. Coincidence. Both treat both homeless and cops like shit. Coincidence.

Anyway so I'm talking to him, and he shows me some big huge format documents, like 30 inches by 40 inches, inches not centimeters, and I look, holy shit, somebody forgot to use the incinerator, military intelligence on the street. Literally on the street, laying there on the concrete, getting dirty, maps made in England with analog mapmaking, Crown Copyright from the 70's and 80's, of the coastline of Argentina, complete with information of reefs which eg an aircraft carrier could collide with. It was obvious that was the intention. Dude obviously threatened to nuke Buenos Aires.

Notably Banco Inglés, with a tilde and everything, we're talking high production values, the absolute highest, English Admiralty, Superpower internal information. As an native English speaker, I would translate that bank's name to English as Fuck You Sandbank, which protected Buenos Aires once precisely from the same Royal Navy. The depth is 0.7 meters, according to the map I had, and they map uses analog measurements from English satellites, analog photography. So point being somebody forgot to burn them, there's leaks, they're sloppy, they got to a spy, the spy moved to Santiago, the spy gave up on his conspiracy theories and gave them to a beggar, beggar had no idea what they were worth, I bought them for $20, a complete collection, like it says this part to the South is in map 3134, sure enough I also had map 3134, it's everything. Especially the Falklands. Even shows the kelp forests.

Military intelligence. No pixels no matter how close you zoom in. All hand made.
I'm glad that they are refunding customers, but it must suck for all the game studios that spent a lot of development hours (which could have gone towards other improvements) to add Stadia support for their games.
How the War in Ukraine Might End
I assume you mean same argument regarding download. In my experience, the download is always far less over-provisioned than the upload.

For example, Comcast over-provisions their upload so much they cannot even advertise what it is. They will sell you 2Gbps download and never tell you the upload. Which I assume, based on experience, is 20Mbps split over a neighborhood of 500 houses.
Employees prefer working for those firms too! Perhaps there is a correlation there...

He mentioned that he pulls almost no revenue and reinvests the money he makes into the next video. He started off with a $10k sponsorship - and he just gave it all away to a homeless person. And this cycle just keeps getting bigger. So yes, very much a growth mindset.
