I think it’s going to be like movie special effects.

When Jurassic park first came out, or even something like Star Trek next gen. It looked AMAZING. So so realistic. But then…. As time goes on new things showed us what realistic could be.

I think we actually got better at seeing.

Same thing here. The more time you spend with it the more you notice things that don’t quite work. And then the new thing solves those problems, but we’ll find more wrongness
You’re there not alone. Almost no new buildings are being built in Munich. Everything in the city remembers Munich Olympic Games in 1972. Dozen new buildings build yearly are a shy rounding error compared to the real need. Rent of 3 room apartment crawls to 2000€ monthly. That’s roughly a salary of a cashier in supermarket or car mechanic. Buying is for riches only. Building does not work because of zoning despite having plenty empty land in 50 km radius. Potatoes are more important.
I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that advertising spend must be way down, due to interest rates and (related) the expectation that consumer spending will / should be pulling back over the next X months. All the biggest layoffs seem downstream from consumer spending in some way or another.
The users that use and pay Twitch do? (Not VC but capital in general)
VCs want to capture markets. That's why they pour money into launching what could be the next market leader, even if the model won't work at predatory prices. Because once they own the market they can raise the prices to whatever they want.
The speed of rust out of the box is insane. I sped up one python endpoint by a factor of 100x with Rust (not 100%, 10,000%). If you can get 1 endpoint that is causing performance issues to be written in Rust, it may be the skinny end of the wedge. You obviously shouldn't sneak that in, but if you get buy-in, then it may start the process.
"Only 8,600 more to go" - Amazon HR rep probably
You don't get to pick where you live?

I value my time and safety, so I live inner city, near a park and river I can ride to almost anywhere along.
That's only a solution if you view populations as replaceable, that culture and shared history doesn't matter, and that nations are just arbitrary grouppings of people that can be changed at will.

Which works for the US, because it's a country of immigrants from all over the place anyway, colonized quite recently in historical terms (there are nations and cultures with 10x and 20x the longevity and far more continuity). If you start with a country with shared history and a cohesive culture, people are not seen as equally replaceable.
Does twitch follow the same pip policies as Amazon?
Ok, fine. But the argument above it that somehow these issues affect bikes, but not cars. Last I checked black-ice is just as much of a problem for cars.
Is it? It 'feels' like true for places where most of the population lives.
I really was born too late
The topic here is Asahi Linux. Obviously external displays work on MacOS.
It’s also important to realize that no one was “bitching” in this thread. It was claimed that the price price wasn’t all that bad, to which someone raised a counterpoint.

The reality is that, if you need a lot of RAM and SSD space, it’s going to cost you a lot more than buying a laptop and replacing the RAM and SSD yourself.

If someone said that the price of SSD and RAM in, say, a System76 laptop was outrageous and that’s why they won’t buy one, that would be a bit silly since they can upgrade those themselves.

What you can’t do is perform a RAM or SSD upgrade on a MacBook. So it’s a reasonable issue to have with their pricing.

To throw one more datapoint in: for my own development, I have to closely manage (closing and reopening stuff constantly, paying the cognitive overhead of context switching as I go) just to keep RAM use between 32gb-64gb — use never managed to go below the former, and the latter is the total my laptop can support. I’m usually sitting around 90%-95% utilization. So 64gb is an absolute minimum for what I can reasonably get away with (and I’d be much more productive if my laptop had the same 128gb my desktop has).

Some people just need as much RAM and storage they can get their hands on, and that quickly makes the MacBook a really expensive option. No bitching (really, no sentiment at all), just facts and reasoning.
Pay people living wages to take care of them.

My sister managed a high dollar retirement home and it was nearly impossible to keep people on staff because the pay was so pitiful and the work so difficult. The for profit business are tons of money, but they did it on the backs of their low level laborers.
Amazon (like every other big company) has raised billions with bonds that they will eventually need to refinance at higher rates.
What community? In a society of hundreds of millions of people, the social safety net needs to work to protect the wellbeing of everyone, not just those who are part of this or that community. There are already many programs at various levels of government that help the elderly, as well as many non-profits, and all of them need more money, so that's an easy place to start.

Here is a program in California that I am familiar with and is absolutely life-changing for elderly people who wish to remain independent (or cannot afford other options). If this program had more money, it could hire more and better workers at higher rates with better retention and serve more people. Low-hanging fruit. A 1% tax on investment income over $100k would fund it to the moon and back. Twice.

On Asahi Linux at work?
Yeah that was a huge mistake on their part and may have cost them an otherwise excellent cause.
I don't know, so I'll offer a plausible, to me, story: Consider that AWS is Amazon's income [0]. VC funded companies may well be a significant portion of its customer base. Hence, if its customers are tightening their belts, they may take short and long term measures to limit their spend on AWS. Amazon presumably prepares for this by lowering twitch's budget.

It's often a good idea to focus on a narrower range of use cases when evaluating the tradeoffs involved in designing a system. In the case of Rust, it's designed for writing systems software in performance critical code paths where these bullet points matter.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. And congrats
She said she did that by using his stream key which she somehow obtained from his computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=effHrj0qmwk&lc=UgzNfomvdiD0j...
Their source of revenue (i.e. advertisers) are often startups and DTC brands that were kept alive by VC money.
one example: unionized truckers earn less than owner-operator truckers.

I am in camp of owner-operators, cause I see myself one day creating a startup and hiring engineers and I dont want to deal with unions in any capacity.
Interesting. Creativity inspires confidence for me.

The EU has GDPR.

The US has refused to consider similar legislation but that would be a way to keep TikTok and limit data collection on US citizens and require it stay in the USA.
Yet SK has just shy of double the population. NK also has 10 years lower life expectancy, possibly owing to sanctions and constrained food supply
Palindromes are almost the canonical example of what a GPT-2/3/4 cannot do, due to bytepair encoding: https://gwern.net/gpt-3#bpes
I hated those things. Tomahawk on the Spectrum had a Lenslok - and our little 14" CRT TV had an external flat bit of glass that required you to unfold the lenslok and hold steady at just the right place. Even worse than it was on a normal curved screen.

Most of my Elite experience was later on the Amiga version (no lenslok). It was a little anemic on the Spectrum.
Doesn't that make it sound like a temporary condition?
Happily Linux is a good name for a fresh new distro.
The learning curve is much steeper, but if you learn it and truly understand what the compiler is trying to stop you from doing, you'll begin to see all the possible side-effects in other languages.

I recently revisited a Go project that does a bunch of async tasks right after doing a somewhat involved Rust project, and all I could see were foot guns everywhere, even though most of it was considered the idiomatic approach.
Even the poorest areas of Africa are considerably wealthier than they were 30 years ago. While the West, and the U.S. in particular, was immersed in post-Cold War glow, then 9/11, Iraq, 2008 crisis, ISIS, etc, the erstwhile non-industrialized world was wholly transformed.
Did not expect this reply on the internet. You’ve given me something to chew on as well.
Curious what modern schools teach in Computer Science programs. I went to Salisbury State University 17 years ago, and we had classes on assembly language, system programming and operating systems where we used C, algorithms classes with assignments in C++, computer graphics, which of course also C++.
My professional experience working in industry was primarily in Java, but also some C, Python, Ruby. Learning Rust was not without a challenge, but having a lot of programming in C/C++ in school more than 10 years ago helped a lot. My assumption that all software engineers who have university degree should have some experience in system programming.
I seem to remember some tapes were designed to load faster or otherwise decrease the margin of error when reading the tones, such that it wouldn't easily survive the degradation of tape to tape copying. Probably at the expense of the original not being as reliable.

I was a kid at the time so could be wrong about this.
What matters more ... that our social pyramid schemes will fail (actually they won't because automation drop demand for human labor) or that we destroy our environment?

95% of all biomass is humans and their farm animals

5% is the rest of mammals... biodiversity is pretty much done on the planet

insects are plummeting, and they're pollinators and food for birds etc.

overfishing in many coastal areas

by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean, and still people think that humanity can't make things on such a large scale... all the fish biomass will be outnumbered by our plastic

kelp forests, bleached corals ... ocean acidification...

rainforests are 90% gone

one third of arable land is now unable to grow much at all

and this is all in a few generations .. ANTHROPOCENE

the climate change is not the most pressing issue at all

us talking about "we can't afford to fix this" is like people playing a videogame and racking up points IN A HOUSE THAT'S ON FIRE -- saying sorry, I can't pause the game to put out the fire... yet the house is the only one we all have.

Put it in perspective ... the number of people on the planet is the input to all these functions. If we went back to having a billion people, and robots doing a lot of the work, we'd have everyone receiving a UBI and be richer and happier. What is this obsession with endless population growth? Humanity was doing just fine with under a billion people, no? We were able to fix child mortality, but now we have to learn about the exponential function...
I was waiting for this! This is exactly where we are headed. Excellent.
Don’t suppose you could still provide the analogy. It’ll probably make it easier for me to understand the research as I only have a basic understanding of the physics at play here.
This reminds me of the vidangel case[1]. The company would buy physical copies of movies and then rent a digital stream of it. Every digital stream was backed by a physical copy of the media, which is not true in the IA case. They lost the case and were found in violation of copyright. If they couldn’t win, I don’t see how IA can.

Here is some advice that I am not ashamed to dispense here, not as a medical professional but someone who had long covid symptoms for a period of months and spent a lot of time with long covid specialists and doing research (dispensing with the formalities):
If you haven't, go to a cardiologist and have them do a Stress Test (they hook you up and watch you for 10m as you walk uphill on a treadmill and increase intensity), and do a test for POTS.

One POTS symptom would be dizziness, a big blood pressure change and bpm change when going from a lying down position to standing upright. It's something to rule out.

Another something you mentioned suggested exercise intolerance. One way to deal with that is very very slow and steady training of your cardio system and even strength training as well. Going too hard can set you back, but going at the right pace can make you better.
[edit]: Some additional information. You pick what you train (running, cycling, some sport, weight lifting, whatever), you do it at the smallest level, and you wait 48-72 hrs to see if you get worse. If you don't get worse, you do it again at slightly more than that pace. If you get worse (I had shortness of breath, insomnia, night sweats, and random chest pounding, but others get debilitating fatigue or other inflammatory symptoms), you back off because it was too much.

Another possibility is anxiety (feeling your heart pumping and almost passing out could be physiologically induced, it could be anxiety-induced, or it could be a feedback cycle between them!).

All the above I learned at a long covid hospital which had specialists (pulmonology, cardiology, etc.) that were up to date on academic medicine. They were pretty dark, some of them, and as they say a man with a hammer sees only nails. But you sound like you seek answers, and hopefully the above gives some bread crumbs of some use.
I literally just wasted so much money on a logo. Coulda used this post last week.
Who's running the sprints, dealing with Hr issues, doing evaluations, sorting out interpersonal issues, talking with product, etc. Or is someone on the team like the team lead doing all of that, or a TPM, project manager, etc.

Who makes the long term tradeoff decisions on staffing, maintenance, product priorities, etc.

That's the day to day of a team.
The answer is because it can be. The Euro is a global reserve currency.
You should look at the statistics more carefully. Educational attainment means the highest degree – those with a master's degree are not included in the numbers for bachelor's degrees. Nordic countries traditionally had a system where master's (or equivalent) was the primary undergraduate degree in proper universities (or equivalent).
Good lord...not even sure where to start with this:

1) The ebooks available through IA's Open Library are offered under a controlled lending scheme similar to a commercial service like OneDrive and Amazon. Users are limited to 10 books at a time, and can borrow the items for up to 14 days. After that period, the ebooks -- which use Adobe's DRM tech -- are disabled.

2) The number of "copies" available for lending are restricted to the actual number of physical copies that IA has in storage, permanently out of circulation.

3) Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan and the rest of the publishing industry is fairly hell-bent on "squashing lending" that doesn't happen through their exclusive and extremely lucrative ebook channels. The steep increases in pricing along with tightening restrictions on access have public library institutions such as the ALA concerned about the very existence of book lending in the future.

4) In their PR blitz, the publishers talk a lot about the "National Emergency Library," which did allow for unlimited lending during a 12-week period at the beginning of the pandemic; but the suit is not confined to this short-lived program.
FYI: You can disable SQLx compile time db verification since macros support an offline mode.
Better in what way? Building things, or learning to tip-toe around your pedantic, histrionic colleagues?
Have you considered how expensive is it not to put them in a care home? When you are personally liable for everything those people do and experience because you're their legal guardian? At some point you may have to quit your job to take proper care of them. Can you afford that?

> Here in Germany it is standard to put old people in care homes and complain how expensive they are.

Yeah. Well, go figure. 24/7 care is 3 people working shifts taking care of someone, or being at least on standby. Your payment goes for a wage of minimum 3, facility heating, electricity, their expenses, food, and so on.

If you don’t want to be a dead weight to your children, you have options. You can pay extra money privately into the system, or you can buy a house which the retirement provider will happily accept as a payment, or your children can sell, or accumulate wealth in another way. However, as being rich or owning a house is quickly falling out of fashion, your options could be a bit limited.
> but you will become just like China: a state that censors information and speech from its citizens because the government is scared of it.

There are several legit arguments against banning, but this isn't one one of them. Banning Tiktok is not censoring information and speech, let alone doing it because of fear. If it were, then they'd also ban all of the numerous other methods by which people can talk to each other.
As interesting as it would be to watch some of these streams, it's completely unbearable to watch and listen with this persona involved. If they were trying for something that would ensure a very niche audience, this was a good choice.

I honestly find it very hard to take someone seriously who chooses this kind of persona, even though it's hard to argue with their technical ability and results.
"Banks are speculative investment funds grafted on top of critical infrastructure", no, they're not supposed to be. That's why there's rules about percentage of depositors money that is risked. Basel III rules.
It is truly a tremendous feat of engineering, product, and project management to build a solution of this magnitude in just a year. I believe fluid cross-team communication, and excellent foresight in flagging future issues and design decisions are some of the ingredients that led ClickHouse to such flawless execution.
We have used spack to maintain our 1000-person user environments at the electron-ion collider (including ROOT, Gaudi) for the past two years and couldn't have done it otherwise.
The amount in the credit hours includes homework and projects.
I do believe, for the former, because that's how they trained it.

For the latter if they did so they'd fix sql injection forever, and query plan optimizations also are often better with prepared statements
It will be hard to grow an economy when there is a housing crisis which we make worse by not harvesting trees and not wanting to use oil based products. We cannot achieve balance with nature while having huge cities. Only people that work the land and live off of it understand what harmony with nature is.
The "innovation" is really a retreat to Youtube. Their livestream UX can't hold a candle to Twitch or even Mixer, but you livestream on Youtube, you can slightly (re)structure your livestream and leave it up as a 2-3 hour video. Youtube's algorithm will gobble it up and spit it out on people's homepages and search results. A lot of people will watch a bit of your stream, usually the first 10-20 minutes, but the conversion rate from VOD to future live viewers is better than you'd think. And all of this despite Google's designers working hard to make the worst UI possible.

Twitch's focus on live and hostility towards VODs makes it a zero sum game, and their discoverability makes it a "the rich get richer" system. If you look at your revenue as a function of hours streamed per week, YT makes more sense for everyone but the top 1% on Twitch.
I’ve probably moved 12 times including when I was a student and none of the times were out of state.
The CEO and founder of Twitch announced a week ago that he was leaving the company. It's admirable to see a captain going down with his ship.

Like rain, interest rates raises fall on the just and the unjust alike.
Also is there relevant limitation on stuff you can't do on MacOS through homebrew or something and can on a Linux distro (not a mac user so I don't know).

- $Dayjob bestows a Mac, MacOS is fine but seems to have stagnated due to focus on iOS

- i3/Sway type window managers are more comfy

- Homebrew is hit or miss

- Apple seems to make the best bang-for-buck ARM laptops at the moment

- Asahi is a fine beer :)
Both of those are non-trivial and annoying to say the least, I know ROOT has a few very smart people managing build recipes in conda-forge too.
If you read the thread you'll understand.
Yeah, I see the similarities! I like the idea of the prompt containing context that the resulting prompt is going to be executed at the terminal.
I feel it's a genetic strain. Some people just can focus without a huge amount of training. Some people need tons of effort to focus like an ordinary person. Maybe instead trying to do what is really painful and distracting, follow your genes and do things their way.
It’s definitely at least $10 of productivity (a matter of minutes for most of us I’m guessing), so I will continue to subscribe.

Is it?
Sure most people who use brokers are actually interested in wider arrays of risk and we can't really find anyway to lower the corrupt advisor incentive as that tends to go straight into a complexity trade off.

I don't think there's still good reasons to use banks for savings now that anyone could buy whatever assets they like with a very similar broker account.. I think anyone accepting lower than government bond rates is basically in a corrupt financial advisor situation where the government is providing everything and someone other than the saver is siphoning money out in the good years.

Industries once formed tend to lobby to prevent things that would remove their negative role. I.e. the ability to independently buy savings bonds has not really been kept up with the baseline utility of any other financial account.

Normally banks had much more of a role in lending, etc, which is a bit more complicated than letting them leach between people and well defined bonds so I wouldn't say they can't have a function only that I would like them removed from this one.
You would find a steady customer in me.
I actually love that, it's weirdly calming.
Doesn't the Internet Archive do the exact same thing, scanning a physical book that they actually own? Per the article linked above:

> Although creating its own unsanctioned e-books triggered the lawsuit, Gratz argued that IA’s digital lending is fair use, precisely because it makes copies of the physical books in its Open Library collection. That, he said, is “transformative” fair use, utilizing technologies to transform millions of physical books in order to improve the efficiency of lending without encroaching on publishers’ or authors’ rights. Gratz said that IA avoids the conflict by only lending out e-books to one user at a time, causing no harm because it honors traditional lending in brick-and-mortar libraries that has been practiced for years without impacting publishers’ bottom lines.

> The only exception to this one-to-one ratio was when IA launched the “National Emergency Library” for 12 weeks when the pandemic started, offering “an enormous universe of scanned books to an unlimited number of individuals simultaneously,” the plaintiff's complaint said.
a nuanced understanding if I've ever seen one
I don’t know that reference or buy that paywall.
Mmm, "existing systems to determine the helpfulness of content..."

My last 3 Google searches failed because of SEO garbage, so I have my doubts.
If the IA wins, I'm going to set up a website where you can borrow music from my CD collection. I have four copies of The Rolling Stones' Sympathy for the Devil and I'm glad that I'll be able to provide free access to this classic work.
