And they can start that hiring engine back up the morning after they make that press release.

If you simply went through all of a company like IBM's announced layoffs of some percentage, you would find their headcount rapidly converges to a value of 0% sometime early in the company's history. Last time I checked, IBM is a not yet an AI-run business to the best of our understanding.
That’s interesting, because as I’ve gotten older, I don’t think piracy is good or bad (or in general, my taste for amorality is much more refined), just a strategic counter attack on an opposing force that is just as fluid in its tactics.

We approached a middle ground of pricing and accessibility, but it only lasted so long. The other side over monetized, so the consumer has to counter attack and stop paying.

It’s a wild bargaining scheme, we are in a digital bazaar. Never give up a tool in your tool shed.
I used to download TV shows via IRC, Usenet, or other means back in the 90s because nobody would take my money. I did the same when Star Trek Discovery Season 4 came out from piratebay.

For episode 2 onwards I could buy the season of Discovery through apple tv, which I did. I assume S5 will be on Paramount Plus which is now available in my country, so I subscribe to that if I want to watch it.

As far as I'm concerned if I can't buy it, it's fair game, if I can pay for it then I will, or I won't watch it.
I'm not making any judgements either way. Just saying that Enoch is no more fantastic than parts of Genesis. Also, Genesis references Enoch.
Then I will miss a big pile of content. Netflix is very limited in some regions.
I have more disposable income than in my teenage years, so when it comes to convinience/money tradeoffs I'll natually choose differently than my teenage self.

Where the streaming services are getting in trouble is if they are less convinient than piracy. Steam's success is largly built on being more convinient than pirating games, and similarly early Netflix was more convinient than pirating movies. Netflix and Amazon Prime still are on the "more convinient than piracy" side for me, the plethora of other streaming services not so much.

And then there's the question whether watchin Youtube with adblocker and SponsorBlock is equivalent to piracy. It is damn convienient.
We haven't had cable TV here in almost 20 years. But we've had some type of high-speed internet and on a business account...which never has data caps of course.

Back then, much of our TV viewing was with the old Netflix DVD-through-the-mail thing, and then various torrent sites. When more and more streaming services started popping up, I torrented less and less to being zero. But now with the shake-up with some of the streaming services (like HBO Max), you just can't get some of the shows anymore...or else you have to buy entire seasons from Amazon or wherever. I haven't resorted to it yet, but I can see how pirating will take a new upswing as the streaming services keep damaging themselves.
>"The instruction set is complex, convenient, high level, and slow."

Could you elaborate on how The DEC VAX ISA was complex yet also convenient? I feel like those two characteristic are at odds with each other. Or does complexity and convenience refer to different aspects i.e implementation vs use?
Compression artifacts (common in even 4k streaming) are way more than the lower res from 1080p blurays. Compare e.g. smoky scenes.
Streaming is really convenient.

I really don’t want to manage files more than I already do.
My process:

1) I find a TV-show or movie I want to see
2) I go to justwatch.com to see if any streaming services or digital stores carry it in my area
3a) If 2 is true, I navigate there and watch it
3b) If 2 is false, I open sonarr/radar, insert the show/movie there and wait.

For the ones I know I want to see 5-10+ years in the future, I try to find a Blu-ray on sale at one point and buy that.

Steam/GoG pretty much shut down any budding game piracy needs I had. It's just so easy and the sales are so common I've got more games in my collection than I have time to fully complete.

Same for music Spotify and Apple Music cover a good 99.99% of my music needs. There are a few rare albums or artist who go against the grain that are missing, but I can live without those.

Books I could pirate, but the Kindle is too simple to bother - or I can just grab the book from the local library.

If paying is easier than piracy, I'll always pick paying.
Apparently "CCD" stands for "core-complex die", a dumb acronym that just means "chip with cores", and different from the other "chip with i/o interconnect" you also get in a module.

It is annoyingly rare to find anybody expanding this acronym.

A meaningful definition of "CCX" is harder to find.
I think the best user experience has been the same for about 15 years or so. Automatic downloads from private trackers onto a local network server that’s connected to TVs around the house and devices outside the house.

The front end has changed from xbmc to kodi to plex, but it’s been the same recipe.

It’s easier to see what’s available. New shows and movies are presented to me based on my real interests rather than what Netflix is promoting, etc.

Interestingly, this isn’t always from pirating as content may come from ripped purchased dvds or even sideloaded from subscribed services (eg, subscribe to hbo, download content from tracker).

I feel like the product is known, but it’s hard to get a business model working that’s legal. Kind of like a Napster moment. I thought Netflix would be Spotify, but that didn’t workout.

Tl:dr; never stopped pirating as non-pirated hasn’t been as good for almost 20 years.
They are even small enough that you can just get a whole bunch of them and tune them each to a different open chord and then just switch ukuleles as the chords change in your song as the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain did in this hilarious version of "You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore" [1].

I am highly amused and also saddened that the second sentence of my response, "Context is important", is being completely ignored.

QED.
Author here, ask me anything about it!
Piracy is a service problem.

If I want to watch a particular movie, and it’s not on Netlix or the iTunes Store in my country, I’ll pirate it, as I don’t feel like signing up for yet another service.
I read the diary of a schitzophrenic. It was beautiful, but I didn't understand a word.
All I really want is Dumb TV: takes HDMI input, no software updates, no f*cking WIFI, has a remote with power, input select, and volume, nothing else.
I really don't understand this perspective. Media is both incredibly accessible and cheap.

If you want to steal, stop looking for justification. The choice is wholly yours.

The latter. There was such abundance at the time that conservation probably never crossed a single mind.
I don't see the need for priracy (yet).

To pay for all streaming services I only need to work 1 hour. This is to pay for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Videoland, Disney+, HBO Max and Sky

As for videogames, there's currently a sale on Steam and PSN. That's when I usually buy games. It's very easy to save money but you gotta be patient.

You, sir, are completely delusional.

Obscenity is NOT pornography. The case law says so. Instead of correcting your falsities, you persist in your delusions.

Your "interpretation" of the 14th amendment is radical, not supported by anyone on the Supreme court, would be a complete disaster in terms of liberty and public policy.

The reason Apple is so profitable is because of the iPhone. The Macs aren't bringing in all that much money and I'm postulating that Mac will lose a lot of market share because they ditched the x86 architecture.

Although revenue for Mac is still increasing (most likely because they're making even more profit by using their own CPU) the sales are already softening.

This reminded me of my favorite Mary Oliver poem:

Entering the Kingdom
by Mary Oliver

The crows see me.
They stretch their glossy necks
In the tallest branches
Of green trees. I am
Possibly dangerous, I am
Entering the kingdom.

The dream of my life
Is to lie down by a slow river
And stare at the light in the trees–
To learn something by being nothing
A little while but the rich
Lens of attention.

But the crows puff their feathers and cry
Between me and the sun,
And I should go now.
They know me for what I am.
No dreamer,
No eater of leaves.
For movies I’m ditching the streaming subscriptions and back to digital rentals.

Most of the old movies are available for $2.99 from Amazon Prime Video.

A couple clicks from the smart tv is worth a few bucks to me compared to finding the torrent then finding a way to get it in the TV.

Watching classic films is more fulfilling than the latest steaming fad.

If you try to consume quality over quantity the monetization isn’t too bad IMHO.
This has me thinking about a 1-seat GH enterprise license for my personal repos.

I can't risk all my issues disappearing into nothingness, and I can't imagine myself using a different platform. GH is muscle memory for me these days.

Would also be nice to know Microsoft can't arbitrarily scan my works for dangerous competitive elements.
I think of that more of an eternal Summer of 2007 since that's when the iPhone came out, and anecdotally the shift in society was well underway by 2010. I'm not sure we could use this to explain things are necessarily that different today than in 2014.

I am tempted to think the amount I have used social media and my smartphone has actually declined since 2014, and in the case of facebook I suppose it considerably has, but I'm not sure I haven't just replaced it with other compulsive clicks. So in that sense I must agree things have probably escalated a bit, but I can't point to a single event over the past decade to create a turning point.
I always give that advice when adding these sorts of tools into the mix. "you are about to get a lot of work you did not know you had".

Basically more than likely your code/infrastructure is doing something wrong. These linter style tools many times will find whole classes of bugs smeared across your whole code base.

One poor soul I worked with once decided 'hey no errors are being caught anywhere'. He then proceeded to add logging to everything where something would fail. "dude you are about to get 1000 bugs back from the QA group and they will blame you even though it is the 3 guys who left 2 years ago that did it". He nearly lost his job because he did not prime them for it. QA was rightly mad because they went from 'everything seems to work' to error alerts everywhere and no testing can be completed.
1. If anything, just do one streaming service at a time. Pay for a month, watch a few shows, and then dip.

2. Get an Ad Blocker

3. Buy games on sale.

In summary, piracy probably only makes sense in a handful of contexts. Like I’d be open to pirating the Weird Al Movie, but mostly because there’s an ad for it where he is literally advocating this.
Software (games included) and music: never

TV Shows and Movies: Yes, if they are not on the platforms I'm subscribed to (currently Netflix and Disney)
Yes, but that's not the point. Some people seem to think that the three parentheses are an antisemitic dog-whistle and cannot believe it could be used for something else like setting weights in a prompt.
Even light bulbs have this problem - see all the smart bulbs getting F/G ratings because they're being compared to regular bulbs and when the competition is "a handful of LEDs", it's hard to have the margin for your bluetooth receiver.
There are a lot of pieces, but one thing that we'll see stranglehold any devices from Apple is the app store. Browser based interaction only goes so far, especially for a new technology, and some apps just won't pass the app store review process.
Nah, too much work.

I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime maybe once a year for a month each. That's more than enough time to watch everything worth watching.
There are not many portable heaters available in the market, especially at this price range. Mr. Heater presents one of the best portable heaters that we have ever seen. It is the perfect heater to stay warm and comfortable when your body needs it.
My household has one streaming service at a time. We have lists (shared reminder lists in iOS) that we make for whenever a friend mentions a good movie - it goes on the Apple TV list, or Disney plus list, etc. then once enough films build up (can take 2-6 months sometimes) we purchase a subscription and watch all those shows for one month.
> Counting calories correctly is really hard.

Why? My sugar-free protein bars say exactly how much calories they are. I also eat some zero-calory fiber (psyllium), vitamin and minerals pills, a spoonful of fish oil, feel great and loose weight :-)
You are assuming I was ever not open to piracy.
I’m a professional pianist and raised a daughter who is now classical violin performance major in music school. The article mentions this; and I agree completely: the parents’ level of involvement and the centrality of music in the communal life of the family seems to be the most important predictor or progress, interest and determination to continue. It’s really almost a sine qua non. It’s sad when students quit, but sometimes it’s better to recognize the lack of resonance with one’s deeper self earlier rather than later. I coach chamber music ensembles comprised of talented high school players - violinists, violists, cellists, and pianists. These kids work exceedingly hard. Somewhere around 13-14 years of age, kids kind of know where they stand with regard to music. Better to realize the true nature of your relationship to music than to suffer through it and carry unwarranted resentment around for the rest of one’s life.
Where does one find this setting on the iOS apps? I am not using lightroom anywhere else.
> YouTube premium

I tried YT Premium.

I found it to be unwatchable. Too bad. I was enjoying the show (Impulse).

I have no trouble paying for services I like, but find the landscape to be chaotic, and am not into paying for one marquee show.

Also, I am finding the streaming apps to be absolute bug farms. It's bad. Real bad. I'm constantly having to restart them.
No, but we are at the point where we are going to start cancelling subscriptions. There is more content than we will ever watch. First of the chopping block is Netflix, there just isn't enough really good content to justify it anymore. What we are considering is subscribing for maybe 1-2 months a year, bundle the things we want to see on it then.

From our perspective the two most valuable subscriptions are AppleTV+ and Disney Plus. Apple are making by far the best "prestige" TV, and that seems to be their strategy. Quality over quantity, much like their other product ranges.

My wife and I watch slightly less on Disney, but the value it brings us as a family (8yo + 4yo) is enormous. If we could only have one subscription it would be that one.

Amazon Prime Video is just a value add on a subscription we have anyway, although we increasingly shop less on Amazon, without the free shipping we probably would cancel the video subscription.
About two hours, I think
> is it harder than generating beautiful pictures and sophisticated writings

I think one differences with pictures and audio is that pictures are two-dimensional and we can't take in the whole image at a time. This makes it easy to overlook flaws without careful inspection. And I find that although there has been some amazing AI-generated art, there are still a lot of rough edges and tweaking required to get really clean images.

As far as writing goes, I suspect that the rules of written language are easier to learn and violations easier to overlook than with generated audio.
Well interestingly enough, it really is developers that can make a great piracy user experience. Why don’t we?
Meta Ireland fined €390M for GDPR infringement

The one that blows my mind are the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) pay-per-views. You have to be subscribed to one service that charges monthly, ESPN+ I believe, for the 'privilege' of buying a PPV at ~$80. Not only is it quite expensive IMO, but it is a complete pain in the rear compared to the alternative of googling a couple of stream links.
I would imagine there's a significant difference between a class action lawsuit on behalf of tens to hundreds of thousands of wronged customers, many of whom may not actually know they're part of the class, with a somewhat nebulous monetary damage value, and a class action lawsuit on behalf of hundreds to thousands of employees, all of whom know perfectly well they're part of the class, and where the monetary damage values per employee are both high and fairly clear.
Speakers of African American English have distinct timbre, rhythm, and cadences in their speech. There has long been a lack of these distinct features in TTS. Apple appears to have added a “Black voice” (though to be clear, there are speakers of African American English who are not Black) in 2021:

The article is sorely lacking any substance from what I can tell (or maybe I hit a paywall halfway through), but I've noticed this as well, and I'm just a dumb American who is not even otherwise particular about sweets.

Hershey's is the worst offender but nearly all American-made chocolate just tastes like garage to me. It's bitter (but not in the nice way that dark chocolate is), gritty, overly sweet, and basically completely lacking in flavor. This is especially the true of anything labeled "milk chocolate."
> I just feel like if we’re at peak monetization.

We're really not. If anything there's more content (for lack of a better word) available for token amounts of money than there ever has been. I don't know how old you are but back in the distant past of the 90s you had two choices if you wanted to watch a film, you could go to a shop and buy a copy, probably for more money than you'd pay for a monthly Netflix subscription now, or you could go to the video rental store and rent it for a few pounds. If you were really lucky someone you know might own a copy and would lend it to you.

Games would cost £40+ new, or you could pick up the really big older ones for £10 or so. If you happened to want a game no one else did you were out of luck. Compare that to something like Steam now, or Game Pass where for ~$15/month you can have hundreds of games to choose from.

Maybe you don't like the model of monthly subscriptions. Guess what, for almost any film you can still buy a copy, either physically on disk, or digitally and be able to watch it right now. Don't like the level of ads on YouTube (which is honestly still better than what you'd see on any TV channel)? You can pay to turn them off.

This whole thing just reeks of entitlement. You don't have a god given right to watch and play anything you choose, whenever you choose, without paying anything for that. That's not how the world works. I'm not aware that ever having been how the world works. So sure, go pirate the things you want, but don't try to justify it as anything other than "I'd rather not pay".
My entertainment consumption has basically moved to reading progression fantasy and litrpg on Royal Road and Kindle Unlimited. It more or less replaced everything, tv, movies, youtube, podcasts, I'd rather just read even if it's not exactly the best writing in the world.
Who defines this standard?

You may argue it's not common, but I'd expect a standard to be determined by an authoritative and fairly representative body. Not by HN forum or a private company in isolation.
I don't know how badly narrated Audiobooks can increase the demand for Audiobooks as a whole.

The only scenario I could imagine is a narration language where Audiobooks didn't exist so far for economic reasons (i.e. low population). Digital narration could bring down production costs to the point of making it economic, basically creating the audiobook market for this language.

But then, if the narration is bad (which it likely is because TTS is worse in minor languages), I don't know how many users could be converted to pay a premium for a better human narration. Also here I think it's more likely that funding will be used to improve the narration engine as a whole instead of going back to hiring humans and renting a studio for each book...
Not sure about lnav but most log aggregation systems support json and logfmt-formatted logs, and there are many standard logging libraries that supports emitting those formats

Of those json is better if you want to be able to do more advanced stuff (nest dictionaries, use lists, ...) and logfmt is better if you want to have human-readable logs without external tools as well, an example line can look like

> This is exactly what induction means.

No it isn't. You got it right the first time. Induction "presupposes that we have faith in the proposition that something will happen again because it has happened in the past". But that is wrong. Science does not presuppose this.

> Science does presuppose that observations mean anything related to more general rules

No, it does not. It observes that the world behaves according to general rules. It does not presuppose that it does.

Add to that the fact that there's this disquieting connection between the IP ownership and the video tech.

Couple services with plenty of good content managed to put together teams to build their mobile / web apps that can barely code their ways out of a paper bag (in the non-trivial space of high-capacity video streaming, nonetheless). It's enough to make me yell "Just give me the damn file and I'll play it myself."
