Just because the outsized equity awards are likely a thing of the past doesn't discount anything from the sentence you quoted.

I've seen it time and time again, what the tech industry really craves is very detail oriented people who can communicate and who are proactive (i.e., if they see that something has fallen on the floor, they pick it up, they don't just assume someone else will). That said, as easy as it is to conceptualize those qualities, they are quite rare in my experience. Can't say how, as a software engineer, it's been extremely disappointing to see so many product managers who don't seem to understand that having a detailed knowledge of their product at the lowest levels is a requirement for the job.

My solution may not be for everyone, but I use tt-rss (https://tt-rss.org/) on a private webserver I run at home.

It aggregates and organizes feeds as I wish, then supplies its own RSS feeds that consist of the items it got from the other feeds. You can read the aggregated feeds using the web interface and/or using any other RSS reader software you wish.

I guess it depends on your interests. For the stuff I am interested in, RSS is still quite widely available. In any case, I agree with the author: RSS has all the benefits; simplicity to its core, broadcast-style delivery instead of algorithmically curated feed from an AI black-box, and so on.

Netflix may have a quality problem, but another one (and a much easier one to fix) is their stupid recommendation algorithm. It shows me nothing but trash and genres (like Love is Blind) I absolutely dont want to see, while I have to use a 3rd party service to dig for gems.

I cant help but wonder if thats skewing their own metrics. People are going to watch trash if thats all they present.
I agree it's not elitism. Real world constraints are the main issue. But still, you are not the typical driver by making a 300+ mile round trip every month.

The real issue is charging infrastructure. I'm sure you wouldn't mind a 10 min break in an ioniq 5 or similar to go 20-80%, but these are few and far between right now.

It's amazing how many bad ideas, if you scroll down far enough, are justified by an appeal to "equity." Which usually translates into dumbing things down.
Most people using gpt directly will want to use gpt-turbo (very cheap!) or gpt4 (best model). Neither of those are currently available on the completion api endpoints, only on the chat endpoints. "Prompt" is the natural word.
It's funny watching all this because we had all this in the 90's and early 2k's and went away from it for a reason. Anyone remember Hotline or Caracho? These were client/server/tracker software for federated communities. If you wanted to host a server which had chat, messaging, forum, files, etc you'd download the server software and run on your computer using something like DYNDNS to keep your host address static. You'd register with a tracker so that others could find you. Trackers could ban servers they didn't like by not listing them. People running client software would connect to a tracker to get a list of servers and connect to them if allowed. The server operator could have a free for all or create privileged accounts. It was great.

But it can't scale and it's too complex for most people. People left these types of networks for Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Going back to this, or a variation of it, is simply regressive. It's the wrong direction.
LAION demands money from photographer who requested removal of photos
> CLEARLY superior to the instruction I received at a tier 1 research institution.

It was pretty clear at the R1 institution I attended (MIT) that it is really a huge research lab with a small school attached, and that the educational part, for undergrads at least, was definitely not a priority. The continuing stream of advertising (err, alumni updates) that I’ve received over the subsequent decades don’t seem to contradict this either.

Still glad I went and learned a ton, but it’s not for everyone.

ETA: don’t mean to imply that it might have been good or bad for you, dingosity (how would I know?); just responding in a general way to a singular anecdote/observation in your comment.
They didn't lose contact on impact, but minutes prior. The hardest part is the landing, not necessarily specifically the communicating with the lander on the way down - which in some sense is trivial depending how it's done.

Indeed, it's an assumption they didn't land and instead impacted, until confirmed visually - as the landing is typically an automated process at that point.

Continually breezing past the points I've made does nothing to convince me this isn't odd or interesting. I've no horse in the race and will continue to be intrigued until someone can give better explanations, rather than "it's hard dude".
It only relates to their activities in the Uk. MS would have to either comply with any remedial measures or just stop operating in there.
I think what OP means to some extent is that the Korean media, while often showing "fantasy worlds", also rarely injects this with a pretense of authenticity as Western media nearly constantly does.

It's easier to articulate in pop music, where a large chunk of popular pop songs is written, composed and demo-tape'd/vocal-guide'd by the same dozen or so of Scandinavan service companies, for both Western and Korean pop artists equally. But while the Western pop stars may act as if they're the auteurs of "their music" rather than being entertainers who were given a piece of music to sing as part of a carefully crafted product vision, in Korea, this is relatively above-board and neither talent nor consumers pretend otherwise.

Don't get me wrong, the Korean pop music industry is terrible in many other ways (as is the pop industry in general), but there's something to be said for content not trying to fool you about what it is.

Good question! I wondered too, especially after applying for my first job after graduating, at Fifth Third Bank https://www.53.com/content/fifth-third/en/personal-banking/a... Their logo is even a fraction, 5/3 It used to be the Fifth Third National of Bank of the Ohio Valley.

Until the end of the U.S. Civil War, there wasn't any federal bank regulation. (Congress tried, but they couldn't agree on anything after the charter for the United States' national bank expired in 1836; we didn't have a central bank again until 1913.) Banks even issued their own currency. Better banks made sure to be 100% capitalized so you could always redeem your currency in gold. Other banks didn't, so if they ran out of gold to satisfy redemption requests, they would go out of business. There was no FDIC, so depositors lost everything.

So anyway, there were a LOT of small banks. Most had state charters. In a given city, e.g. Cincinnati, the first bank that ever opened there called itself First Bank of Cincinnati. Subsequent banks were Second Bank of Cincinnati, Third Bank of..., Fourth Bank of..., Fifth Bank etc. That's how Fifth Third Bank got its original name. It was a merger of Fifth Bank of Cincinnati and Third Bank of Cincinnati. Fifth was bigger, so they decided to keep it first in the new name.

There's still a Second National Bank in Ohio, and there was a Fourth National Bank of Wichita until 1995. There was also a Fourth National Bank of New York City until 1905.

The negative connotations of being second-best are bad for branding, so I suspect that any bank that can't call itself "First Bank of..." because there already is one in the area, will just go with an entirely different name instead.

> And how is anyone to compete against Sony if they can’t grow their own exclusive content?

1. Xbox Live/Game Pass is still a better service, and one of the best deals in gaming.

2. Microsoft already owns (or has owned in the past) tons of gaming IP. Halo, Minecraft, and Bethesda are huge names. Microsoft Game Studios was used to publish some fantastic games in the past.

3. Cloud streaming is largely theoretical at this point. There's potential, but will customers choose a $20-40/mo subscription instead of buying a ~$500 console every ~5 years. I'm doubtful. The math says it's a bad deal for console gamers and worse performance for the top 1% of the market. Sony's lead here probably isn't the killing blow for Xbox.

4. Microsoft could always make it's own games, instead of acquiring them.

5. Microsoft has some benefits with owning both platforms Xbox and Windows that they have never been able to fully capitalize on.

I own an Xbox, a PS5, a Switch, a Steam Deck, a high powered gaming desktop, several arcade games, and basically all the retro consoles.
There was a blogpost recently on HN, which compared the "learn to code" campaigns as useful if one thinks of this along the same lines as "learn to cook". I liked that perspective.

The problem of course comes when someone who just learnt how to cook their first omelette feels ballsy enough to apply to a michelin restaurant as head chef ... and the hiring manager can't tell the difference.

AWS has similarly suffered outages from an entire datacenter being taken out like this. No one is immune. If you want true fault-tolerance you need to be multi-regional (everyone says as much), ideally, multi-continental.

europe-west9 is the only large Google datacenter in France afaik. Building more would cost lots more money, and it seems like the market isn't there for it. Workloads that require data locality in France are presumably suffering the most. And there are knock-on effects on other datacenters from losing an entire huge chunk of capacity like this.
Would love to get a new shiny thing, but it’s difficult to excuse since my 5 year old Mavic Air still works very well and feels amazing.

>Microsoft is actually pretty good at games

This is the second thread I've seen this take and I'm really curious why it's a popular statement. They completely dropped the ball with 343 Studios and Halo. Ruining their own tentpole franchise should ding them a few points. They haven't done much with Minecraft. Apparently games titled 'tell me why' and 'bleeding edge' were published by Microsoft in 2020, the latter being a multiplayer title abandoned 10 months after release. The Goldeneye remake was mediocre. Crackdown 3 took forever and was mediocre. They release so few games I am already in 2019 on their wikipedia page. And this is all after they've spent huge sums of money acquiring studios and publishing rights for games already in development.

They've certainly had some solid releases with games like Psychonauts 2 and the Forza Horizon series, and I'm thankful that their money got us Pentiment. But especially when it comes to the AAA titles you'd expect from a market leader with their own hardware platform, I don't personally see how Microsoft is that good at making games.

TBH, from my armchair expertise I might also agree that this acquisition isn't going to give MS unfair control over the market - but mainly because I don't expect MS could effectively manage Activision.
They give the money to smaller teams and swallow them upon success. Isn't that how it's been working for a while?
Did anything happen in this direction since Mullenweg said they're going to add support? I am skeptical of them following through with it.
This the same pattern as retail stores making it hard or easy to return a purchased item. If the return process is simple and straight-forward for the customer, they will not hesitate making future purchase decisions even if there is some uncertainty. I know there is some pain involved for the retailer, but it should part of the cost of doing business.

No, but the EU and US regulators will look at the Uk's reasoning for blocking the bid and it may influence their own decisions.

I've done it on a motorboat and that's freaky enough.

At least with my DJI the "home point" is the trick. As the boat moves you move, but the home point is/was fixed at a GPS location, not a radio location.

So you have to stay on top of updating the home point (which requires menu digging) or the drone eventually freaks out and tries to fly away back to where the boat's route started, which could be a great way to lose the drone.

In the end for me the DJI's level of software nanny plus sketchy china issues have kind of sealed the deal that next time I won't buy a DJI. There are a lot of places that I can legally fly in a responsible manner that DJI's nanny software basically stops or makes extremely inconvenient. On top of places where a low altitude flight would be allowed and they completely block it, their "unlock" process in other warning type areas has been so buggy I've had many times I can't fly even though it's legal because their system isn't working right.

Being able to completely disable RTH (maybe you can?) and or make the home point auto-update to the transmitter location instead of a fixed GPS location would be a lot better.

One example of this kind of space-crash-error incident I'm aware of is when the US deorbited Skylab, it didn't break up the way the models had predicted and several pieces, including multiple oxygen canisters (about the size of a refrigerator each) crashed intact into the Australian outback.

Australia fined the U.S. for littering. The U.S. took one canister back, which is on display at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
> Custom key themes were removed because the whole concept of them was broken.

The concept was never broken on macOS. It's also implemented in a brilliantly simple and very user-accessible way, and requires very little consideration from the application developer. Between that, or having a single configuration file where one can achieve a similar result, deciding which method is better probably boils down to personal preference.

No more personal preference for me though.

> The only one anyone ever seemed to use was the Emacs theme and that just broke apps because they didn't handle the case when an Emacs binding conflicted with the app's own keys.

Again, macOS does effectively have what can be summarised as "Emacs keybindings": C-a, C-k, C-b, etc all do what you expect them to do, and if you do ever find any particular key combo conflicting for some obscure reason, you have a simple, system-level tool to fix it.

I know the issue under GNOME mostly comes from trying to find a compromise between copying what Windows does, and what's native to the terminal, but all I'm really trying to achieve is to have a consistent working environment.

The way things are: in the terminal, Ctrl-C sends an interrupt, and Ctrl-Shift-C (or some other combination, depending on your terminal emulator) copies text; in Emacs C-c is a command prefix, and M-w is copy; etcetera. I find working like this frustrating; I could probably stomach having Ctrl-C as copy everywhere (even if it meant doing something unspeakable to the terminal emulator to keep the ability to send SIGINT to the foreground process), but I used to be able to whackamole every app into respecting my preference for using Cmd-C for that. Switching between all these conventions is unnecessary mental fatigue.

I know my argument is pretty much <https://xkcd.com/1172/>, but it's still quite disappointing that the "free" desktop is where my preference is disrespected.
Too bad you don't let us know how exactly.
Admittedly I haven't kept up with the PS5 but the PS4 Pro at least basically let you choose between 4k and 60fps and couldn't do both, and generally you're not going to get 4k120hz on any game, let alone at maximum graphics settings. I feel like the intersection between enthusiasts and console gamers is quite low because most people buy a PC.

The real interesting bit here isn't the baby-clothes angle, but the assertion that "bamboo" fabric (baby clothes, socks, sheets) is just rebranded rayon, which has been around for a long time, often with a little bit of spandex blended in.

> Outside of the world of baby clothes, the Federal Trade Commission last year fined Kohl’s and Walmart $2.5 million and $3 million, respectively, over their “bogus marketing” of so-called bamboo sheets, towels, and rugs. It’s just rayon, the FTC contended, and they had to call it such.
