It's a disadvantage compared to the Xbox and PS streaming services - both of which cost less and come ready-made with a large library of games. It's definitely better than Stadia which seemed to consistently be the worst out of all the streaming services (which I think today's news vindicates).

GFN is good especially if you live in an area serviced by it's RTX 3080 streaming "rigs" which make it reasonably good value for money vs the cost of building an equivalent PC. But it's still the most expensive service on the market PLUS you also have to BYO library which rules out entire groups of potential users - Nvidia knows this as well based on how hard they're pushing the free-to-play titles. On top of that a lot of titles aren't even playable on it; I have a steam library of ~700 titles and apparently only ~140ish of them can be played on GFN.

Personally I like the GFN idea of being able to "rent" hardware and that's a business model other companies have proven works to a certain degree since ~2015 (Shadow.tech being a good example). However I don't think it has the same mass market appeal of the other surviving services which give you the hardware + a huge library of content just like Netflix/Disney+/Stan etc.
>It makes you think, I personally like to practice the art of thinking, of making connections between seemingly unconnected things, like Socrates and push buttons

So I guess I can add you to the list of people missing the irony.

There three "technologies" here: writing, push buttons, and clear writing.

In historical context -- because of cercatrova's oh-so clever, unclear comment -- we can laugh at how foolish it was to dismiss writing or push buttons as "causing atrophy".

Now, I'm advocating the third "technology", clear writing, and you're responding exactly like the very same ridiculed people: "Oh no, if people write clearly, then others won't get necessary practice in tolerating crappy prose! I'm a superior person who can parse crappy prose -- don't take that advantage from me!"

> force myself to read thick prose sometimes, it is a way to practice attention and an ability to understand others. Maybe it was the reason why it was easy to me to guess the point of the comment?

So, what, you're saying you're more deserving of knowing the point of the comment than others? That it's good that they didn't get it?

>You are silently assume that a clarity and the ease of consumption is among of the top priorities. But it may not be so. Didn't you think that a comment about letters can be composed in a thick and hard to comprehend prose on a purpose to make some point about letters (that are supposed to be easy)? And about buttons too (that are supposed to be easy too)? I do not see what this point may be, but it could be because I'm too stupid to see it.

Or because the point could have been made explicit, but wasn't. In any case, with this comment, you've indicated you've drunk the koolaid. You're actually defending people making themselves harder to understand than necessary, rather than maturely accepting feedback on how to make your point clearer.

In the US most of the solution is going to be education, especially as we take in more and more people accustomed the practice. Really, it's not hard to turn public opinion for/against something, but it does take money and time. If we, as a culture, spent half as much time talking about gun safety and shaming people who fire indiscriminately into the sky as we do talking about "pumpkin spice" and shaming people for their natural bodies we'd be set.
We're doing okay we fortunately weren't too close to Ft Myers.

My point wasn't about the landfall. It was that if you're saying it's X days since the last category 4 hurricane then using the date it was designated as a tropical depression doesn't seem correct, because it wasn't a category 4 storm at that time. You should use the last day that it was a category 4 which is also objective, and is actually the most recent time we had a category 4 storm.

Modifying Wget 1.21 to Receive Byte Ranges
curl has the "-r" option to receive a byte range.

aria2c can receive a byte range using the "---header" option.

tnftp can be easily modified to receive a byte range, e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31091068

wget cannot receive a byte range using the "--header" option. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?20416

This modifies wget 1.21 to receive a byte range:

ed wget-1.21/src/http.c << eof
4843,4853d
4058,4066d
w
q
eof

NB. This enables wget to receive the byte range, but it does not stop wget's default unlimited retries in response to HTTP 206 status code. When requesting a byte range with wget, use the "-t" option to limit retries.

For example,

wget -t1 -qO/dev/stdout --header="Range: bytes=280369755-280370980" \
"https://ds5q9oxwqwsfj.cloudfront.net/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-27/segments/1656103036099.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20220625190306-20220625220306-00070.warc.gz" | gzip -dc

I moved out of Iran about 10 years ago, but when I was there you couldn't purchase internet plans faster than 128kbps unless you had a legitimate reason such as being a reporter, business, etc. There was, however, no special license needed for any computing equipment. I purchased very cheap VPS and other resources without even having to submit any personal info.

Nowadays, the limit is gone and there is faster internet access but the issue of filtering still exists. When a service doesn't work in Iran it's either due to sanctions, the government blocking access to some domain/ip, or a combination of both. The user is left wondering which one it is and how they can get around it
Basically all AAA games will run relatively smoothly (30-60fps) with low-midrange dedicated gpus which is effectively what the M1 performs like on paper (I think it's in the ballpark of the NVidia 1050/1050ti/1650).

You just have to lower the settings and resolution to get that smooth performance - think base model last gen console/nintendo switch levels of visual fidelity rather than up to date gaming pc/current gen console levels of visual fidelity.

It's kinda fun squeezing performance out of woefully underpowered hardware - LowSpecGamer on youtube is a channel dedicated to this kind of stuff.
Population studies seem to support it. Not just camembert, of course.
> Nice presentations and education do not work on people who simply don't care about the damage they do.

I think it can help. Plenty of people in this discussion have been mistakenly under the impression that it's mostly harmless because of "air resistance" or "bullet tumbling" or whatever other nonsense they were told. I think a little education could go a long way.

If nothing else, it would mean we can't say people weren't warned when we throw the book at them for needlessly putting other people's lives at risk.
Ideally, but I'm willing to trade... temporarily, only because it's not my primary, or even my personal inbox.

Why waste 100 hours of my own time, minimum, going through my hundreds of thousands of emails adhoc to find examples like receipts from 10 years ago from an obscure ecommerce site?
Agreed. Having been to re:Invent several times, I’ve come to believe it’s not worth attending regardless of who is paying. It’s too big, too much time is spent just moving from session to session or waiting in lines for sessions.

Save your money - watch the keynotes live and then catch as many sessions on YouTube as you desire from the comfort of your own home.
>All those complex surfaces you see in contemporary games? Very nice. But the user cannot point at an arbitrary part of a rock wall and say "move this over a bit and make it bigger".

The Red Faction series, building games like Minecraft and 7 Days to Die, and games like Factorio are some pretty obvious examples where you're completely and utterly wrong, so I'm not really sure why I should trust anything you said in the rest of your comment.

I work ~70 hours a week with 2 young kids.

- Wife gave up career (for now) and is a stay-at-home-mom

- Remote-only job

- Schedule is 9am-530pm, 9pm-2am, Sunday night through Friday at 530pm. From Friday night through Sunday at 9pm I usually don't work.

My children are home around 530 and asleep before 10, and weekends are all for them, so basically I work most of my free time. I am highly dedicated to my work.

It is a somewhat monastic existence, but things were getting easier until we had the second child. Kids are a sacrifice - view the early years as an investment. Children are the OG startup, after all.
Thanks for sharing this. Smartcar was not funded by YC. And as I have replied below we have a different take on connected cars.
> Wouldn't they have caught an American sabotage operation?

I'm explicitly saying they would have been in on it.

The attacks happened in the exclusive economic zone, which are not typically called international waters. Countries keep close track of their exclusive economic zones, even if they DON'T happen to be strategically important straits, which the sea between Bornholm and Poland absolutely is.

> I'd be more sympathetic to this argument, by a lot, if I wasn't constantly encountering bugs in systems where there wasn't (or shouldn't have been) any guesswork needed.

In my experience, you can take any consumer PC (laptop or desktop), install Linux on it, and find a firmware or hardware bug or unsupported hardware feature in the time it takes to read through the kernel log. Often the broken functionality becomes obvious just from the process of trying to boot, log in, and type dmesg. Unless the broken feature in question stems from a component that is wholly unsupported, it is very likely that the flaw is a result of the hardware or firmware's behavior differing from what the documentation or relevant industry standard specifies.

So the status quo is that everybody is always deciding to live without some features that their computer "should" be providing based on its hardware capabilities. Of course, it's perfectly valid for some users to not care about a feature like having a working fingerprint sensor or sensible fan control or automatic brightness, and even more understandable for features that are less readily apparent to the end user (eg. idle power management). But when those gaps between theory/design and reality do get closed, it's usually a result of reverse engineering leading to an acceptable workaround, not the OEM coming back to finish the job.
Going beyond simple error analysis of ML systems
A few months ago I wrote an article about some considerations of how to perform error analysis for a trained machine learning model. It also proposes a “framework”/progression ladder for what methods to implement first.

I’d be happy if some of you find it useful, or maybe has some comments/questions.

They are still quite strong on the German, market and Microsoft is still clueless in making anything that can beat C++ Builder, the best they could do was C++/CX and internal politics killed without any regards for the customers using it.

C++/WinRT is a joy to use for anyone whose maximum of productivity was using Visual C++ 6.0 for COM development, exactly the same Visual Studio tooling. /s

So plenty of enterprises do new projects in C++ Builder, and Delphi comes for the ride.

https://entwickler-konferenz.de/

I know of a company in Belgium that does laboratory automation software in Delphi, because they don't want to use languages like C and C++, and .NET lacked the low level coding and native compilation that they want.

For them it isn't legacy, rather from their point of view the alternatives suck, and they will keep at it as long as they can.
My personal theory on celebratory fireworks for national events is that they are specifically intended to create a long lasting association between the sounds of war and the feeling of patriotism. When war breaks out, and someone is used to fireworks already, then the sounds are a bit less scary and maybe they even feel some psychological response of patriotism, planted by the various firework shows they've been to in past holidays. Of course once someone has actually seen war firsthand then they are going to have an entirely different set of psychological responses to those sounds.

What’s always amazing to me is how cheap espionage is. You want the blueprints for nuclear subs that effectively remove an entire class of deterrents that protect hundreds of millions of people? Sure just give me 5/6 figures. This has happened at this price magnitude many times before. At least charge significant money if you’re going to sell out your entire country!
I think you are very right about it, but for certain things speed needs to be a requirement. I have tried both Evernote and notion plus onenote.

I agree to an extent but a person in North Korea would say they get to decide how brainwashed they are.

Everything's relative. As a nation, the US has abysmal parental leave and vacation policies compared to others. By numerous metrics, we do work too much.

Similarly, the US is the poster child of capitism and we do buy tons of things relative to other nations.
Well said. I also like your assertion that performance optimization is believed to be a black art. As you say, it is not. In fact, there are much better tools available for performance monitoring today than there ever have been. How many programmers actually open those tools and look for performance bottlenecks? I would guess not too many, at least based on what we are seeing in shipping products.
Not at all, I say it can be disabled and stand by it.

> Also the "developer's time is expensive"

Agreed. I really dislike this excuse for sloppy slow code.

Yes, developer time is expensive, need to keep ROI in mind.

But if the expensive developer spents a week optimizing the function to make it 1 second faster, is that worth it? Too many people will respond "developer's time is expensive" without thinking beyond that. But of course, it depends.

If that function is being invoked millions of times per day by hundreds of thousands of people, it very quickly becomes totally worth it.
> Apparently Facebook, the website, is crumbling on the inside (technology)

This is what makes me really uneasy about React. I feel there is too much cargo cult of a technology that doesn’t even work for their creators in the first place.
Explain it like I'm 5 (or pls link me, happy to read more):

Previously the rich were borrowing easily and buying assets that go up in price bc...easy money. i.e. Houses appreciate really quickly, people can't afford them, the median income is outstripped by the median price etc. etc.

Now rates are going up but more people need to lose their job and be able to afford even less just at a lower price? i.e. Houses appreciate slowly but cost so much that even though the median price of a home is lower, most people still can't afford it bc the monthly is too high?

It seems like in both scenarios most working people can't afford things despite the interest rate being in the single digits unlike the 80s bc the interest rate on your money is so low and the cost/ownership of day to day items (say, a phone which was $15 for a house and is now ~100 per person per month) is wildly more.
>> No, truly utilitarian websites look and function like this: https://smxi.org/docs/inxi.htm

To some extent, the majority determines what is utilitarian. Once Bootstrap achieved mass familiarity, it became utilitarian -- because almost everyone knows how to interact with it, the flow, the location of the information.

I checked out the site you shared -- it is indeed utilitarian...but it is also unfamiliar and hence to me, it makes it more difficult to find the required information at a glance.

while I agree with you in theory, As a business operator, i'd rather win the customer than win the academic debate.
