Project Farm is poorly controlled, sample-size-one, poorly-designed-but-very-specific "testing." It's entertainment, not actual useful product testing, and a good example of this would be his "let's see how many bolts this impact gun can remove in X amount of time" - each time a bolt is screwed on and screwed off, it polishes the threads, changing the amount of resistance.

It's of slightly better quality than the usual youtube comparisons.

Channels like his are wildly popular because corporations prefer inexpert entertainers aka "influencers" and "creators" over product/market experts, so they shower the popular ones with free shit to "review."

This is one reason you see e-bike companies heavily courting the tech press; the tech press know fuck-all about what to look for in a bicycle, so for example, they don't notice that the bike has Chinesium bearings that won't survive being ridden in the rain, terrible no-name tires with little flat protection and high rolling resistance, and brakes made of chewing gum that perform much worse than proper offerings from major brands.
I considered that, but the small group of trusted people is a bit of a double-edged sword. If one person is taken and they do not have good OpSec they could expose that entire group of trusted friends and that would be a more valuable target to authorities. So in that case I would stick with having an accidentally exposed SSH in that datacenter.

You're responding to something I never discussed.
I'm not even going to pretend that I have a clue on how this is done. But I'm wondering if the output can be turned into 3d objects that can be used in any of the 3D modeling software? It would be a game changer in terms of real world product development in both of speed and ease.
I don't think I would call it clickbait. As you said, "there were people in control of Alzheimer's spending who had blinders on."

If something sounds good (as everyone admits) but it's failed over and over, and certain people with power shut down any alternatives, then "mafia" is maybe pejorative but not unfair.

Are you familiar with the word “coincidentally?” Not trying to be rude.
It's an employee doing a job. The job was to lie to the public for short term gain. Don't have to blame the employee, do have to blame the management.

Yes. There's a Japanese podcast (rebuild.fm) where one of the recurring guest (Hak) is from a game dev background and was probably assigned to Stadia. He never said it explicitely but from the conversation you would guess.

One of their discussion was on how much commitment was crucial in the game dev world. Devs on all sides (platform, libraries, actual game) would put their skin in the game and gamble time and money but also personal energy to make something successful, and there was an expectation that all participant would stick together even as the future gets bleaker (what comes to my mind is Nintendo supporting and pushing the Wii U for a while, even as it was a clear failure, or Sony keeping the Vita alive as much as they could)

Your reputation as a platform maker gets a serious hit if you're ready to quit the minute your forecast gets dark, and game devs never really forget this kind of things, unlike other more opportunistic ecosystems.

I kinda hope the Stadia team could move on outside of Google to a more fitting company..
The email address listed in the blog post, securitykeys@cloudflare.com, appears to not be a valid mailbox.

Yeah, I think we cleared that up about four hours before your comment.

Thanks!
Go ahead and fire me, I am fulfilling my contract and not doing anything extra because it's a suppliers market in jobs right now. Why would I work myself to death for little / no recognition and no extra pay?

If you fire me, I'll have a job at your competitor in 24 hours, if not them, then someone else. I have 5 revenue streams deliberately so I cannot be abused by a tyrannical employer.

We can work together, or not, but I'm not sacrificing my heath for your crappy company, it's not 1890 anymore, so get real.

If your business cannot be viable without squeezing employees, then that's not a business I want to exist in this world, so I hope you go bankrupt.
> still lock the go VM with an infinite loop

This is no longer an issue now with Go's async preemption. Also, this is less a "language-level concern" and more a consequence of a poor implementation of preemptive scheduling. Moreover, this is something OS threads already support.
I know this isn't the topic, since this blogpost is about something else, but the redshift reverse engineering section of the site is excellent.

> Weird how you paint journalists spreading awareness of Bad Things Happening as the evil here

Journalists cherry pick to create an incredibly misleading impression, this is true whether it's politics, floridaman, science or lifestyle.

They also encourage people to ignore scale, which actually really really matters. When comparing two outcomes you need to multiply the number of events times by how bad/good they are to get a total to compare, and that number is ignored by journalists.
I so knew it would happen. I explained why Stadia's business model made no sense two years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26073799

TL;DR: Stadia was technically geared for AAA games, but had a horrible value proposition for AAA studios/gamers. It could be good for casuals, but Google's ego did not allow it. With no remaining niche it had to shutdown.
As a hiring manager myself I do think that the market has become more difficult for new grads. I'm sorry to tell you that, but you're a dime a dozen. Yeah you come from a good school, but honestly, I'll just give you the same coding exercise I give to the guy who just came out of a bootcamp and pick whoever does best.

I don't think you should be panicking though, just learn to deal with this market. Build a network, favor direct reach outs over just applying to a job on indeed.

>>>Russia appears to believe that cutting off gas to Europe will end European support for Ukraine, and therefore has an obvious incentive to cut it off. Russia has incentives to make this look like it isn’t Russia’s fault

Russia had already done the former by basically "turning off the tap", and already argued it wasn't their fault because they were willing to supply gas to Europe as long as Europe paid in Russian rubles. They were also using the gas supply for political leverage:

"release our frozen assets and we'll turn the gas back on"
"pay in rubles and we'll turn the gas back on"
"stop sending weapons to Ukraine and we'll turn the gas back on"

Now they physically CAN'T do any of those things, so this is a massive blow to what little bargaining power they hoped to retain through the winter. If there is any nation that is harmed by the physical destruction of these pipes, it's Russia.
"Stadia is not shutting down" admits no "careful parse.
Fun fact: there exist currencies that have maintained stability despite the country in question lacking any kind of military.

Funner fact: there exists one fiat currency that maintained stability despite the government in question effectively ceasing to exist.

Funnest fact: the energy invested in the maintenance of appropriate armed forces appears to have no correlation with the stability or lack thereof of a currency.

I mean, there's just no evidence that stability of fiat currency is driven by military considerations as opposed to, say, fiscal and monetary policy.

> Cell infra is strategic and should not be allowed to go down, everything uses it and people will die if it goes down.

> Lessons were learned.

That's why our emergency services use Rogers as the main, and Telus as a backup - but only after the multi-day Rogers outage that took out payment processors and emergency services this year.

Lessons will have been learned instead of parroted when we have a crown corporation as the main, and a private corporation as the backup. We need cell service to be reliable and rock-solid, even if it's not always cost-competitive to be so. Same reason hospitals, fire, and police services are public: turning a profit is less important than availability.
"if all Bitcoin mining used renewable energy sources"

I don't know if you've looked at the requirements for covering our current energy sinks with renewable energy sources, but it's not looking manageable in the timeline we need to prevent climate change before we account for adding a random extra energy sink of bitcoin mining. Which, has frequently required peaker plants to cover the extra energy usage.

This statement waves away all of the difficulty of accounting for how much solar/wind we would need to account for bitcoin mining on top of what we need for everything else. It's impractical, especially for something as societally useless as bitcoin mining.
I don't know, who cares.

It's always people who produce zero meaningful creative content who complain most vociferously about Internet censorship.

It would be better for the average content creator if porn were blocked. I also think things like virtual slot machines should be banned from the App Store. I think conspiracy theorists should be banned.

Why do we tolerate ads? A branded video game doesn't have to make money, so it can focus on being fun. There are fun branded games. The budgets are bigger. You don't give a fuck that it's a fucking cereal or cookie or whatever, it doesn't really matter. Chex Quest was a branded video game. And nobody is forcing a creative person to make games sort-of promoting junk food. Like everything it has tradeoffs.

But seriously, it's the same people who say "sanitizing the Internet" as the ones who pay for literally nothing new. They are the mouth agape neckbeard guys clutching a fistfull of dollars for a 30 year old gigantism IP, only paying for Star Wars and Game of Thrones, and if it was something that Hollywood hasn't yet said is good, they just do not care. They don't pay for porn. They complain about it being not in the App Store and then they don't pay for it. They are the worst audiences!

All this crummy stuff drains audiences away from more substantive cultural endeavors. I understand it is stuff people want, and is high engagement, but honestly, who the fuck cares? So what. What comes next? Engagement is not meaning. But audiences have a finite amount of time. You will reduce meaning if people spend all their time on meaningless things. That's just common sense.

And if you actually knew a single talented creative person in your life, you'd learn that they yuck people's yums all the fucking time. It's an essential reason they are successful - they have opinions about good and bad.

A certain Twitteratti demand Apple show the nipples and Netflix, in the opposite direction, ban the saucy comedians. In service of what? For really dead end, lame, seriously unfunny and uninteresting teenage-depth narratives about sex. Seriously, again, who the fuck cares.
Notably, the transformer architecture, the basis of the last few years of ML breakthroughs, came out of Google.
Ask HN: Does anyone sell containers or virtual machines?

Kernel support for green threads (or better, M:N) was a big topic 20 years ago. Look for "scheduler activation" for example.

It kind of petered off as kernel only threads were fast enough with significantly less complexity. In might be worth revisiting again.

Fawed but interesting. Experimental page should have nudge/spin again option on each section; sometimes the results are musically very good and an interesting segue from the previous section, sometimes they're just kinda ass.

Also I think it's a mistake to just look at music (even electronic dance music) as a series of transformations that journey from A to B. A lot out-there music relies on fairly safe tonalities and very straightforward musical structures, to provide an anchor for wild timbral experimentation. Listeners can enjoy the departure from conventional sonic reality in somewhat the same way as a theme park roller coaster balances existential terror and reliable predictability.
They could just say "we don't comment on future plans" instead of lying to increase sales, aka committing fraud.
> It's scary to think about it but seems plausible—like if someone can make an app with Tiktok-like ubiquity of only AI content. Although to your point I imagine there will be so much nonsensical noise that curating will become a useful skill, it is today but even more so.

This just gave me a disturbingly vivid vision of exactly what you described. A seemingly likely future where everyone's in their homes scrolling endlessly on a TikTok-like app where there's literally infinite content being generated by the AI all the time, and as people like and dislike certain types of content, the AI just gets better and better at generating new videos...this is honestly kind of terrifying. I have no doubt this will exist one day, and that it'll print money for one company while billions of people are spending all their free time consuming it.
GirlsDoPorn case is somewhat surprising to me because I think US regulators failed to prevent abuse of protentional and eventual victims of this porn company. The company was active from 2009 to 2020 and they only stopped their business when they ended up in court. Why weren't they earlier under legal scrutiny and why wasn't their license to do porn revoked? And it seems like most of this girls didn't have any legal advice or assistance prior, during and after of signing contracts with GirlsDoPorn. Imo amateur porn is fishy and should be more regulated.

> now we have Visa, Mastercard, Apple, Google, Amazon and Cloudflare deciding what we are and are not allowed to see, read and buy.

I think the blame is displaced. It’s not these nice companies that decide what you are and what you are allowed to see. It’s you. Or more generally - we, the People, ourselves.

Indeed: Gab is not using Amazon or Google cloud services, Visa and Mastercard do not serve Gab - it has to rely on checks, money orders and crypto. Gab does not have an app… actually it has, in a way of a web link, copied to your home page - btw I have never seen an app that was better than a web page for the same company, have you? Gab has even launched GabPay, its own payment processor open to others. Gab explicitly promise not to delete anything unless it is found illegal by a court.

Still, you the People are not using Gab, you are using Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Why are you not using Gab? Last time I’ve checked it was because Gab… does not delete the content that you the People find objectionable!

A cherry on this cake was the decision of some state GOP party committee to delete their Gab account because Gab refuses to censor anti-Semitic content.

So, please - do not blame this nice long list of the evil companies. You have at least one alternative. You, the freest people in the world, are not using it. Not enough censorship there.
This is an extremely dangerous attitude. Truth matters, not just whatever feels good.

Only explanation I can think of is dude planned to leave the country shortly and figured he'd be gone by the time he got caught so there was no point in covering it up.

Also based on the value the crypto was Monero (and he use Kraken, which is only big US exchange that converts XMR/USD pair), so he probably didn't realize even though it is difficult to directly trace where it came via the blockchain the exact unique amount deposited on KYC exchange fucked him. A naive Monero user would probably think "impossible to find where monero came or went from, so I'm safe" not realizing they're leaking out the side-channel by depositing a unique amount on a centralized exchange.

Why did they try and entice him to travel to DC? Since it's on federal charges, what would it matter which state he got arrested in?

This is not a question of biblioclasm but that an important factor in stewardship of artifacts is transfer between custodians. Instead of someone binning that artifact they offered it for sale. This allowed someone who saw its value to become its steward.

All things have tradeoffs. It is a tragedy to some degree that the missal was deconstructed. However, the counterfactual is not known--held in one piece, it might have all been destroyed in fire, or lost forever. As it stands, it was distributed, shared and appreciated by many.
I think they do make a point though. Either the immediacy everything has now, or the increased reliance on spell checkers has caused a decline in overall literacy beyond the basic level.

I am far from perfect, and I'm not educated. Let me make that disclaimer first. With that out of the way, I've been online for some time and in the last 10 years, it is common to see a few common errors that I'd say we are in danger of introducing into the lexicon via dictionary-squatting:

- it's and its. If you can't substitute it's for "it is/was/has", then you need its, the possessive form of the word.

- there/their/they're

- your/you're

- are/our

- to/two/too - This is the most common, by far.

- definitely - not definately, just say def or something.

I could go on, but it's starting to feel petty or like my standards are too high for personal correspondence. "Elder shakes fist at terminal"
