None of this actually requires immigration. Cultural imports are enough to utterly destroy aspects of local culture without a single person immigrating.

I don't know about Norway or Iceland specifically, but I have been told that English is so trendy in Sweden that not a lot of cultural works are actually written in Swedish anymore. As for China, we've actually gotten cultural backwash from Hollywood doing so much business there. Specifically, a lot of western media companies have had to self-censor in order to retain Chinese market access.

If we really wanted to coat every culture in amber then we would need a lot more than just immigration controls. We would need to emulate pre-Meiji Japan in every country in the world: i.e. no migration whatsoever, and heavy restriction and censorship of cultural imports. So no Internet, no imported cinema or TV shows, no international phone calls... hell, no international postal system.

Less dramatically you have countries like Canada or France that have local content quotas, but those have their own issues. But those are less "stop cultural change" and more "keep Hollywood from completely smothering our local creative industry".

Every big tech company should be freaking out. It's fat trimmin' time.
It may not be a fad, but there's a lot of rose-colored hype that masks a world of tedium. New prospective users should be prepared for a lot of uphill grind with respect to configuring packages or defining their own packages. Every time I try to do seemingly simple tasks in Nix, I end up spending hours on the Nix discord channel trying to work out a solution with seasoned users (who invariably struggle to work out a reasonable solution). Often times I end up having to try to figure out how to package some obscure C dependency deep in the dependency tree with its own bespoke build system and so on. Nixpkgs is also pretty poorly organized (or at least I can almost never find the package I need) and this is pretty critical because something as simple as answering "what type does this function take?" requires a ton of searching around Nixpkgs (largely due to the lack of type annotations or even informal documentation). The CLI tool surface is also not particularly intuitive, and there are different tools for different problems and no consensus about which tools to use (or at least the official docs often disagree with popular opinions in the community). You have to be aware of whether you're just using the Nix package manager or whether you're using NixOS because it will affect the way you write your configuration and often snippets on the Internet implicitly assume one or the other such that you will spend a lot of time trying to fix snippets or find the right snippet for your use case. MacOS is still a second-class citizen in the Nix world and a fair amount of stuff doesn't work properly (although I can't think of specific examples off hand). The Nix expression language seems unnecessarily unfamiliar to mainstream programming languages--I don't object to the functional nature, but I still spend quite a lot of time consciously thinking about syntax even though I've been using Nix on and off for ~7 years now (compared with e.g. typescript which I've barely touched and yet is trivial to read). Normally I don't complain about syntax, but you can do very little in the Nix world without reading and writing a bunch of nixlang and even if the other problems were resolved this alone would make it difficult to sell in most organizations since every developer would have to figure out how to work with it (package management is high-touch).

I'm a big believer in Nix's high-level approach to declarative systems, but the whole UX of Nix is so poor that foregoing declarative systems altogether is quite a lot less painful than using Nix in my experience. I'm rooting for it, but it really feels like Nix needs a product manager or something (no disrespect to the maintainers; these are difficult problems and I'm sure I wouldn't do a very good job). New users should beware.
A lot of core functionality like dealing with zip files hasn't been updated for modern times, and doesn't support multiple cores. So it's likely you're using just one core to uncompress stuff.
So, 13 months ago [0] you said on HN that you were making $120k/month with 3000 users. How come you're still making the same amount but with 18x more users than you had more than a year ago? What's the disconnect?

Sure. I'll post some artists with my favorite songs as youtube links, as I know that not everyone on this site has a spotify subscription.

On a sidenote: Looks like techno had massive growth in the last 1-2 years. I discovered most of these artists when they were much smaller. Now most of them have 3x to 10x more monthly listeners. Seems like Spotify is indeed a great platform for discoverability. For monetizing probably not though.

It seems like the validity of what you're saying is intertwined with the axiom itself. You're going from a comment about the domain (the domain includes indescribable elements) to a comment about specific arguments (arguments may be indescribable).

Ultimately, you're saying that if we have an indescribable x, then x+1 is conditionally describable (to abuse terminology). But I think that just sidesteps the question. Even then, if we're taking a computability lens, then indescribable(x) implies indescribable(x+1), which would seem to imply that applying your function to indescribable x's is a moot point.

The fact that your function is finitely describable even though we can't describe each of its applications is admittedly a mindfuck.

Accelerate is a bit different in being both overall more high level API and specific to Apple (and abstracts away the usage of AMX and ANE too).

As of now, Vector<T> automatically targets AVX2, SSE4.2 and AdvSimd (NEON). Vector256<T> targets AVX2 (for the lack of ARM counterpart) and Vector128<T> targets SSE / AdvSimd respectively.

>You can’t have enough new content every month, subscribers therefore don’t keep the subscription year round.

I suspect that, in addition to ad-supported tiers, we'll see more annual subscriptions or at least subscriptions where annual is sufficiently cheaper on a monthly basis that it's essentially an offer a lot of people can't refuse.
This is NOT new news.

Same discussion, from 2015 - https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/toxic-abs-pla-fumes-3dsa...

And in 3d printing groups, it was common to hear people say "ABS smells like cancer". Sure, anecdotes aren't evidence proper, but the science certainly bears this claim.

Edit: And to add my own anecdote, I have a large format high temp printer. It is capable of printing stuff like ultem (375c tip, 220c bed). It is enclosed with a activated carbon filter/fan for airflow. But one time when printing polycarbonate, I took a .5w green laser to the print area. When it was shining near the print interface, I could see ALL SORTS of stuff being flung at high speed away from the nozzle. Lets just say I was glad I have that machine fully enclosed.
As far as I understand, there is a low level race condition here. The order that the monitors come alive and initialize with the OS is non deterministic. This can cause the left monitor and the right monitor, for example, to swap IDs.

Netflix comes free with T-Mobile Magenta plans, I think Comcast includes some sort of premium Peacock subscription. I don't know that AT&T bundling it would be much different than the other services bundling, would it?
Yes, but there remain factors that cause the value of western building to rise in value even decades later (my 120 year old house is worth $90,000 and going up in value). For example as construction costs increase, replacement costs increase, which causes the value of an existing building to rise.

This is apparently not the case, and for some odd reason (probably government and tax policy) a house absolutely goes to $0 in 25 years and stays there.
The mob is ignorant, yes. But it's also the leaders who play to and encourage that ignorance, rather than telling the harder truths.
Off topic, but I wonder if the authors of zero-to-nix.com are aware that their project name actually reads quite funny for German speakers (as "Nix" in German also means Zero)
I recently bought a couple of cheap "college kid" laptops from the mall to use as dumb terminals. Before installing Linux on them I figured I'd play a round of my favorite old video game "Rome: Total War" (i got a Steam account just for that. Oddly the game won't play on Linux (although I'm sure I recall playing it through Wine back in the day, but maybe that's wrong?) so I figured I'd keep Windows on one of the laptops long enough to play through a round of the game.)

The laptop would not let me start to use it until I had activated Wi-Fi and connected a Microsoft account! It literally would not leave the init wizard until I had "phoned home" to the corporate cloud.

Not as sure proof as paying people to do nothing. Or worse, paying people who are actively working against the interests of the company, intentionally or otherwise.

1. Does the solution includes pay for the people to think?

2. Does it include opportunity cost of waiting for the 5$ solution?

3. Does the cost include extra prototyping and engineering time?

The title of the article is a lie based on misunderstanding of engineering.

After all engineering is done, the __remaining cost__ is the same as bill of materials...

Until you need to update the system with new components.
And rockets made by NASA are made in few copies... so the Non-Recurring Engineering cost dominates the whole business.

Yeah, the less people serve, the more the military is seen as some sort of high brotherhood of philosopher kings, instead of a vast government bureaucracy filled with young adults of dubious responsibility, with a few responsible adults desperately trying to maintain order.

If you didn't have the Sears Catalog you had the JC Penney catalog. They both dropped the ball, probably by watching each other to see who blinked first.
If you went for the 12100f, a B660m, 3200 Ram, and a 500GB nvme, (Fractal Pop Air, etc) you can do this build, brand new, for ~750. 5600X is a little better for multicore but I prefer the 12th gen upgrade path.

With used parts and dropping to a 6600 XT (The 6650 is just a factory OC), I wouldn't be shocked to find out you can outperform the standard available PS5 bundle for similar money. ($550)
A `flake.nix` file provides a consistent entrypoint to your codebase, which is nice when using Nix generally. For NixOS specifically, you can point `nixos-rebuild` to a flake & have it switch config.

I also find nix flakes have a nicer UX to use. To use a channel, I have to run `nix-channel --add`. But, with flakes, I only have to declare it as an input.
The long tail also requires support and that doesn't scale well. At one of my jobs, the rule is basically that any company under around 5K-10K ARR (it is arbitrary) doesn't get any real support and just gets strung along until they quit, as giving any developer time to their issues makes them unprofitable.

“The total amount of mining that’s going to be needed for wind, water, solar, compared to [the] fossil fuel system, is much less than 1% in terms of the mass of materials.”

If that’s the intention the naming of the quick start misleads me. I typically skip the example at the beginning of documentation and go straight into the meat of it. In this case it sounds like I inadvertently skipped the main content.
Yes, because it also makes your Nixpkgs config explicit (doesn't read ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix unless you source it in-repo) and doesn't rely on env vars (e.g., NIX_PATH) which are not given explicitly in the flake.

But pinning Nixpkgs alone does get you much of the way there (and for many use cases— those where the only referent on it is 'nixpkgs' or 'nixos'— does make NIX_PATH redundant anyway).
Well that's just not how the physics works. It's a single dimension that slides from hyper-impressionism (at low low Frame rates) to hyper-realism at high ones. And BTW it's been shown to top out around 75-80fps. Any higher and there's no additional perception of realism. Realism is just the single axis.
The biggest problem with finite sets is that most operations don't work nicely in finite sets.

For example, if we take the naturals to be a finite set, and arbitrarily define some number G that is the largest number, then common operations stop being commutative/associative/distributive (e.g. x-y+z is no longer equal to x+z-y, if x>G-z; or x×(y-z) ≠ x×y - y×z). Lots of simple equations stop having solutions at all. The finite rationals also get similar problems. Your models also have all these arbitrary parameters - the largest positive integer, the largest negative integer, the smallest fraction, the largest allowed amount of non-repeating digits in a decimal representation of a fraction - things like these become independent parameters, and can be arbitrarily chosen to be different.

> Well, I don't believe the core of the Halting problem to be true, and that's exactly the language problem that I'm talking about: confusing language leads us to making conceptual mistakes.

But it is - you still can't, in practice, construct a useful program that depends on solving the "finite halting problem", since you will need too much memory/time for anything but the most trivial of examples. If you don't beleive this, than it should be doable for you to create a program that checks whether P=NP if we limit it to programs that can run on, say, an 8086 processor and only use 16 KB of RAM, right?

FWIW my understanding is that WB withholding the Looney Tunes backlog is entirely due to the fact that there's a lot of problematic (e.g. racist, sexist) material in there that they're understandably worried about. I completely agree with you otherwise.

> Antioco’s replacement took money away from Total Access and funneled it back to the stores, and Netflix escaped (Hastings would later tell Shane Evangelist, the head of Blockbuster Online, that Blockbuster had Netflix in checkmate). Blockbuster went bankrupt two years later.

That's fascinating because I always wondered why Blockbuster got rid of Total Access. It was so much better than Netflix at the time because you could also rent games and not have to wait for anything. It wouldn't have mattered long term obviously but for about 8 more years or so they could have driven Netflix out of business using the capital investment in brick and mortar stores they made over the previous 30+ years. But they totally blew it - wow!
No one is going to set out a roadmap for you to follow that will be sure to work, and if they do I would take it with a big grain of salt.

You'll have to immerse yourself in a job and do trial by fire. Give it your best shot.

You don't need to know everything to program. You should be able to pick up on new things quickly, and have an ever-expanding area of expertise.
Disney is currently suffering under a load of debt from their Fox acquisition. I'm not sure going on a spending spree is in their favor.

With Netflix's low debt load and free cash flow, they should actually be in a better position for buying up competitors.
I think people could re-learn they skill pretty quickly, but putting that aside, I wonder how well we could do with just ground based stuff.
