I'm not sure if the niche of hardcore competitive guys buying expensive low-latency monitors is really something to be concerned about.

But dropped packets/lag spikes are a real issue. I gave the Stadia trial a shot and never had a play session where I didn't have several instances where the game would start stuttering or straight-up freeze for a few seconds and I'd have to wait until it sorted itself out before I could continue playing. Maybe that's fine if you're playing a turn-based RPG or visual novel, but that's a complete dealbreaker for any game with real-time action (most of them).

And I don't know how you fix that issue without making internet infrastructure 100% perfect and reliable. Good luck with that.
This article is... nonsense? It's so badly written I can't even figure out what it's trying to say. But after the fourth time he talks about "enshittification" it's very hard to take seriously. As far as I can tell, it's just an unorganized, stream-of-consciousness "I hate Amazon" rant.

Maybe there's an actual main point in here somewhere, that's connected to the headline somehow, but this article is a shining example of how not to write if you want to actually convince people of a point you're trying to make.
Totally agree. And beyond that human life assumes it’s own sentience through an incredibly narrow view. Isn’t it fair/logical to assume that if giant mushrooms did over the earth that given the passing of considerable time they’ve likely evolved to a far more considerable state of intelligence/harmony than humans have. Their survivability/adaptability being an illustration.

Likewise, one ends up sounding like an anti climate nut, but the existential fear for the planet seems arrogant at best and massively over emphasises our place in the universe. See, I sound like an anti climate nut.
Man, the Boston Globe is way too expensive, but I'm still subscribed. After the marathon bombing, it hit me how crucial it is to have local reporters who aren't just on TV.

Citation needed. Male fertility hasn't fallen anywhere near precipitously enough to make a father incapable of having a mere 2.1 children over the course of his entire reproductive lifetime. People aren't having fewer kids because they're incapable of having kids, it's because they're making the choice not to.

It's obviously false, France give plenty of incentives for couples to have children,I think this year the national budget is more than 5 billion (and truly more than 8 billions, because 3 of the 5 are matched by municipalities), I've never heard of Europe attacking the CAF or anything.

And if you're rich enough to not qualify for direct help, the tax breaks your child provides you is greater than the maximum amount the poorest families get for a child.

Also even using private daycare, if they have reglemented prices, the CAF and muni pay for two third of the real price, at least in my area.

And you also won't pay the real full price of the conservatory/music school. Nor you will pay the real full price of museum, school, sport and youth camp, no matter how rich you are. I've worked with children who lived in a manor in the center of Paris, and in the same camp I had children from the rural Jura (west Virginia Appalachian for the US people) and one child in foster care. The full price was 500 euros for two weeks (with rebates depending on how poor you are). This isn't the true price. You get help even if you're a top10 French business lawyer with a manor with garden in the '6eme' (maybe tmi, but it has been ten years). (BTW, all of what I listed do not come from the 5 billion I talked about in the beginning, the 5 billion is only what the branch 'family' from the CAF get, I think the total budget is close to 12 billion and cover a lot more than just family).
KubeConEU2023 Ingesting 6.5 TB of Telemetry Data Daily Through Open Telemetry
When I reach the end of a quiz and it suddenly wants my email, I nope the hardest nope that ever was noped. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. There's nothing that quiz could possibly tell me that would be worth the inevitable barrage of spam that will result.

I'll just have to live without knowing which 80s rocker I am, a hole that will forever be in my heart, but at least I'll have a little less crap in my inbox.

Now, if the quiz actually _gave_ my result and then said something like "Sounds like you already know our product line pretty well, here's a 20% discount code for your next order", I'd be a heck of a lot more likely to place an order. A, because the quiz just forced me to think about all the things I could use their products for, and B, because it's not obviously trying to spam me.

There are good ways to go about it, but generating "leads" just squicks me right out. If a salesperson is going to call me and try to be my buddy and stand between me and the Add To Cart button, they are my enemy.
Our point of view is that we should not allow beta self driving software on the roads until it is proven safe. We do not know how safe it is, nor can we know because Tesla controls that data and is not transparent with it.
Both were popular cars though. They had good reputations and were hard to find, so people were buying them as fast as they were making them.
Give the current uninspired bean-counter leadership at Activision and turmoil at their major studio Blizzard, this acquisition seemed like it would be a net positive to innovation and choice in gaming.

Microsoft is actually pretty good at games, has the deep pockets needed to make long-term investments in quality content that Blizzard at least seems to be struggling with atm (not sure about Activision’s other properties).

I don’t follow gaming that closely though, is there some reason this acquisition is a net negative and needs intervention by regulators? Or is this a case of regulators misunderstanding the situation and the market?

I really like this comment & it has a lot going for it.

At the same time I think it's also worth pointing out that earth has likely never had as diverse an ecosystem as it has this millennium. The tree of life has become incredibly wide & complex.

The naturalist tendency doesn't have to be as static as portrayed here. Nature itself is such a dynamic & changing system death & population booms chasing each other around wildly. What, I think, is so scary about right now is how in jeapordy so much life seems. Insects & birds are disappearing at mass scale. Large life is hunted to breaking points. Many animals lack for habitat and access to essential food & water.

We see strictly worse coming & that has built a fervor for the worlds we are actively losing/destroying.
Maisel has been canceled. Ended, more specifically since apparently the creators made the decision.

Point taken, though. Still, if they only have a 1/10 chance at being good I am not taking the chance. It's like the netflix stamp is a kiss of death to me now. On the rare occasions they get it right they muck it all up after season 1.

If I hear good word of mouth about a show I may check it out, but I don't waste my time giving Hollywood the benefit of the doubt anymore. They have to prove they are worth my time and at the moment no streaming services are worth the amounts they charge.
Valid point. Sam A said he thinks prompt engineering won't even be a thing in 5 years.

Who cares what Sam A thinks on the matter. Of course he is going to say things like that he wants to make his product sound as amazing as possible.
With Electron, you ship practically an entire build of Chromium, which isn’t shared between other Electron apps. Neutralino uses system/shared browser components, similar to Tauri.

How you ensure the shared components are available seems more difficult, but it’s clearly more efficient for end users.
Yes.
And the problem is that a lot of Tesla pumpers hold two contradictory positions in the forums, along the lines of:

* It's perfectly safe, there's a human in charge

* Any crazy stuff the human prevents it from doing, the human intervened too early so we don't really know that the car was going to follow through on the crazy thing

It's too "uncanny valley" of how much rope you are supposed to give FSD.

All crashes are the humans fault.

The low number of crashes is purely FSD and has nothing to do with the driver heroics of preventing it from doing a dozen stupid things per drive.
Can't they find the vast majority of the large streamers by monitoring the reddit/irc/discord groups where the links are posted? That seems like a far more green way to find these things because there is minimal compute required. I know it doesn't sound as sexy as a hierarchy of triage flags and maybe some fancy "AI" dust, but that's how I would do it.

The author doesn't seem to realize that it's not necessary for Mastodon to reach the same scale as Twitter or Facebook. We might be headed for a more pluralistic future, with a large chunk of people on Mastodon, another big community on Bluesky, etc.

We're all so steeped in the recent past of monolithic centralized social media platforms, but if we peek over our recency bias, we can see that it wasn't always that way.

Largest by area. By mass you need to go a bit south, to the faint grove of Aspens in Utah known as "Pando".

ofc, Aspens are weird enough that they may be thought of more like a fungus with tree-like fruiting bodies rather than trees per se.

I do think there is some decent ability to piece things together. But this example seems too niche.
Changes are static or not depending on the scale of time you consider.

In a time span of billions (even millions) of years, our planet indeed went through different eras.

For a duration of one human life, the state of nature is expected to remain quite static. The problem with climate change is that we started to witness the planet entering in a new era in such a small time frame - roughly 200 years.

Yeah, can't use cruise control in a Tesla, because they insist on trying to vision only and not provide a normal option. So you can't use it because it stabs the brakes in random moments.

To anyone about to reply that cruise control never phantom brakes for them, it will. Just keep using it.
Bottom line - Forbe's a terrible source for any credible information (Tesla related or not).
Prompt engineering will be a thing, but I don't think it will be as prevalent as people think it will be. Look at projects like langchain. To me its biggest value is the library of standard prompts it provides. So I think prompt engineering will probably be a "niche" job the same way C programming is a "niche" job. Its super specialized and most people doing C programming are also experts in specific architectures they are programming in.
Yeah. All these full stack frameworks don't really solve much on the backend.

Instead of SvelteKit, I use Svelte with Fastify which offers a lot more for the backend.

Microsoft is a large corporation, but the UK is the 6th biggest economic entity in the world. Microsoft is not even close to the economic and legal power of a country the UK's size. And if the EU acts in the same way, as seems likely, there is absolutely nothing Microsoft can do about it.
TDD is the second best method.

The first is developing good habits—list out all edge cases and just manually test it out. If you work in a team, the PM, developers, and QA can brainstorm these edge cases together. It’s these simple things that make a huge difference and you’d be surprised how many teams don’t do this.
Despite all this gloom and doom talk, this essay ends with, "Mastodon will continue as a niche community and it will have lots of happy users."

They are collecting up to $15k/car for 8 years selling software bound to cars that likely will never be able to FSD in their useful lifespans. So yes it's a grift.

The value of a degree seemed to have a stepping function, where up until about the late '80's, it was a luxury, but by the 90's it was almost instantaneously necessary for basic jobs, then the dotcom boom reduced its necessity to where by the mid'00's, a generation of young men eschewed them went into tech or trades instead while young women went to school, and then the last decade of the '10's, if you didn't have a degree you were among the left behind.

The economic downturn we are in now will mean "safe jobs" based on government spending will mostly go to the degreed, but any economic growth will come from people who are good enough at what they do to make things others want and build new firms, imo. The value is sort of polarized, where if your future is rural, trades oriented, or entrepreneurial, school is neither sufficient or necessary, but if you want to participate in the urban(e), managerial, and career oriented economy, there is not a single other qualification.

If you are thinking about school, do it. If you didn't do it, maintain no illusions about your opportuntities, but if you didn't go and still think you're somehow equal or on a level field to people who did, know that they don't.

It's somewhat odd that one has to explicitly say they're not "anti-climate change" when presenting any kind of perspective that could be perceived as such. As if they're afraid of the somebody punishing them for daring to think such "problematic" and "destructive" thoughts...
As I read it, the article argues that more should be done against monopolies. When companies like Amazon start their flywheel, they provide great value for the customer. However, at some point, the competition is gone and the value for the customer is decreasing. At this point, only the shareholders benefits.

I also understood the problems ahead of time reasonably well.

I can't see how #enshittification is anything other than an apt world-consuming trend broadly outlining the predominamt trends of capitalism in the world today. And for the new phase of Amazon now that it has attained market capture. To you it seems like a huge turn off, tuned you out, but you've just heaped the term onto your pile of disdain. It's unclear to me what problems you have, why you disagree or what you find inaccurate about the term in general or it's application.

I really wish Mastodon wasn’t absorbing 95% of the ActivityPub hype because everything in this article is correct. The good news is that there are folks (and I forget the name, doh) working on a Mastodon compatible alternative that doesn’t use Ruby and Postgres. Every story I hear about backlogs of Sidekiq jobs in Mastodon instances makes it feel like a nightmare.

More broadly though I think Mastodon is going to fail as a mass thing because it isn’t actually what people want. A lot of recent arrivals want Twitter without the corporate ownership but Mastodon is actually lots and lots of little communities with inefficient links between them rather than one whole. You can’t even see all the replies to a message by default, it only shows you on-instance replies! And how any brand new user is supposed to knowledgeably choose an instance is a mystery to me.

Even as a veteran user I find the instance system awkward. I have many interests, how do I pick an instance to be my home? Should it be a web dev instance? A music instance? In some ways I prefer the idea of signing up on both and having people be able to follow me based on topic interest but Mastodon doesn't really have a good concept of unifying profiles in that way. Not to mention I'd then be paying to support two instances instead of one.
Being a person is a good prima facie argument for being allowed to access public infrastructure. There may be countervailing considerations, but you didn't provide any (other than by apparently suggesting that it was somehow absurd for people to walk on roads).

But I'm not the author of the "like they're people" comment, so I'm not particularly interested in defending that particular line of argument.
> The height of the housewife era was funded in part by the high savings rates during WW2 when many married couples were de facto DINKs

Sure, but it didn't help that women were encouraged (or forced) to leave their jobs so that the returning men could have them. It's not coincidental that "Kelly Girl Services" and the general temp agency (which has been so much bad for both women and men in terms of wages, job security, and promotion opportunities) took off in this era. Or Freidan's best-seller status in 1963.

> I'm much more interested in finding a path forward than in figuring out who to blame for the past.

Blame helps in figuring out what to address. At the very least a sense of past injustice motivates people in the present to address present wrongs.

It's important to cast blame for the actions and attitudes of people, because the basic motivations behind those actions and attitudes don't change, they're effectively eternal with the human race. The light needs to constantly be shined on them, or you get women like Eileen Bailey and Ann Coles[1], or men like Eddie Slovik[2]. The shining of the light is the path forward, or at least a part of it. Does it matter whether COVID came from a Chinese lab or a wet market, now? No. But the shining of the light on the bad practices at both places is the most likely way to see that both sets of practices are corrected. (I do think it was stupid to cast blame back in 2020 and 21, when really we needed to be better addressing the critical urgency of contagion.)

Interestingly today's Vergecast episode "ActivityPub is the next big thing in social" [1] touched on monetization.

What I understood from Mike Cue, the monetization implementations won't come from Mastodon, but from established companies building new things, like Flipboard or Medium.

They are also thinking what needs to be added to protocol to support monetization.

IMO it doesn't need any features for monetization. ActivityPub allows creators to create accounts and allow only paid followers, or send their toots to payed subset of followers.

Problem is what servers would the masses gather? Who ever is the biggest node will of course set the rules.
