Not only that, but it's cheaper and easier now to monitor these boxes via software.

So you don't need phone operators to wait for calls about interrupted service, the software will just detect some unreachable part of the network and dispatch a team to investigate.
A drone operator with the Ukrainian Army’s 93rd Brigade attaches grenades to a DJI Mavic 3 drone

Perhaps I am mistaken but wasn't China aligning with Russia and if so does that present a risk of using DJI drones that could possibly be remotely bricked by China? Or firmware updated to reduce accuracy or randomly glitch out in specific GPS zones?
The Cost of Change
I still don't understand how Russia (the country where I was born) would possibly want and invade Ukraine... But it did.
This is not a period of invention. Its a period of cookie-cutter, step-by-step colonization by imitation of more and more domains (both consumer and enterprise) using well-established (even if mostly questionable) patterns.

It is (or at least was) the period of being the Uber-but-for-X, the Twitter-but-for-Y. A period of page-long lists of uninspiring logos and machine generated startup names. A period where VC ecosystems became cookie-cutter themselves. Silicon Prairie, Silicon Swamp, etc.

The disappearance of hackers is also congruent with the locked and supervised platformization of "big tech". You can't really hack devices. The motto is: "Here is the browser, here is the API, now go play, consume your cloud budget and give us some ideas how to make money". In this context its all about optimizing the execution of more or less the same ideas. And boy did it optimize. Within a few months every silly chatGPTification concept has been paraded here on HN.

Of course today we have more latent hackers than ever. The interesting question is what would be the preconditions for them to start creating wonderful and weird things. Here is a tentative list:

* the massive expansion of self-hosting and shift to having serious compute and intelligence "at home". This is the broader fediverse or small tech movement

* the liberation of mobile devices and next-gen apps that might finally redeem the "supercomputer in our pockets". A related domain is non-smartphone mobile devices.

* the re-incarnation of the workstation concept in business context. Monstrous linux desktops that finally put the moribund "Productivity Suite" to rest and offer various completely new businesses launchpads to the next phase of the digital economy

Hackers currently have been either co-opted or starved to death by the lack of opportunity. Yet the cycle never finishes.
The Switch actually came out as an advanced handheld. The appeal was that it was a handheld advanced enough to play on a TV. It's just that (especially handheld) technology have advanced in the last 8 years. On the Switch, Nintendo is simply extending it's console's life.

I think a Switch 2 is likely from Nintendo, but they are also likely to release some other idea. Nintendo console releases are highly variable. They have had a lot of major hits. They've had some flops. They are just making hay while the sun shines, and delaying a console release that might change the weather. I do wonder how many bad console releases Nintendo can get away with. I also am beginning to worry they don't have a great console concept prepared for the next generation.

>Why would this get anybody riled up about Adobe?

I mean is obvious to me, say you sell me some software, and next week you tell me, "hey sucker, I might have used some third party shit that I should not have, you should stop using the stuff or you might be in danger of lawsuits".

Something like this happened with some video games where they autoupdated and removed some contentment, this should be illegal, you do not change a deal a few years after , this products should not be sold but say clear "rent for 1,2,3 years" and then maybe people might decide that would be worth it to do something like Blender and finance an open project then getting screwed like this.

At this point there isn't any significant infrastructure for building microled displays anywhere. Why invest in a competitor when they would do the same exact thing you would, but they would own it?
They definitely have assembled them but I don’t think they ever felt the need to manufacture because the infrastructure for doing that for various types of parts is so strong. This is probably just another step in vertical integration and hedging against their supply chain being vulnerable.

I believe the supplier for iOS displays in general has been Samsung for a while (majority) with a few other suppliers mixed in. Maybe they want to keep going with this technology and Samsung is moving away from it.

They’re not going to be fabbing their own chips so maybe it’s an attempt to shore up other areas that are less moated.

Ask HN: Do you think the future of social media looks like Discord/Reddit?
Discord and Reddit are great for finding interest-based communities, and for getting away from all the noise traditional social media has. Which leads me to my question, do you think the future of social media looks like that?

Discord and Reddit are great, but they have this "gamer/nerd" brand attached to them which I think prevents the general population from joining.

What do you think?
"An entity" is defined as either TikTok, or an app store. Individuals can not violate this statute.

Movies have been THE gold standard for quality since the beginning of time... and usually are displayed in 24 fps.

If Inception runs at 24 fps, Zelda does not need to run at 60 fps.
Among the methods is:

"First, the author and biography of each tweet was viewed and immediately excluded unless at least one of the following set of credentials was met: MD, DO, nurse, pharmacist, physical therapist, other health care provider, PhD, MPH, other Ed. degree, JD, health/medicine reporter/journalist/columnist/expert, public policy reporter (students or candidates of these professions were also included)."

Yet the conclusion is:

"This finding may have major and widespread societal ramifications attributable to inappropriately heightened anxiety, and subsequent loss of trust. Those seeking health information from Twitter should be aware of our documented high rates of inaccuracy even from the accounts of credentialed health professionals."

I think something does not match regarding the last sentence; it might be better worded as "from suspected accounts of credentialed health professionals, among which may be charlatans and many others impersonating as health professionals".
That is exactly how my previous employer (HIE) operated. Mirth was fairly low-cost and if we wanted. We could bootstrap our own Mirth Servers. But managing that many VPNs was a giant pain.

The whole concept of AR/VR rises dystopian red flags, everything Mark Zuckerberg did with their attempt looked somewhere between scary and dumb.

I think this is because these companies are preoccupied with controlling the content, they envision doing the same things we do IRL but on their platforms. This is problematic because it means people instead of improving their lives and actually doing things are expected to be pretending doing it and spent their precious lives and money away on this BS.

VR and AR becomes exciting only when you can explore yourself and the world by doing things you can't do in real life. Maybe you want to try being assassin? Maybe you you want to try being from another gender or species? Maybe you want to try being in an actual war zone? Maybe you want to try to create a society with completely different rules from we have now? But no, these are too dangerous because someone might be offended, so in VR you are supposed to go to Paris and spend real money throwing virtual darts or something. They also can't distance themselves from the moral panic because they must milk the platform by controlling the content.

It is outright dystopian and dumb. The core promise of the platforms is "do the same things you do when you don't already do on our platforms so we can monetise that too" and this doesn't converge with the core promise of the tech which is to do things you can't do in real life.
That's exactly my point. The Go developers promise that it doesn't call home (unless you opt in), just like every other developer promise that their program doesn't call home.

If you don't trust developers' promises, why is one of those worse?
Are they? It's providing accountability. If people won't fact-check big and damaging statements then that's their problem. Ass-pulling falsehoods is what's wrong with a lot of what I read on HN.
It's not how they feel at all. Or, if they do actually feel that way... it's inadvertently the "fake it till you make it" where they have done this for so long and so intensely that they've tricked themselves into feeling it.

It's likely the origin of some large fraction of mental illnesses.
Does the crowd on HN expect passkey support to become more ubiquitous in the future, similar to Google OAuth today?

I’ve been surprised at how few sites seem to be adopting rapidly since there are UX gains, but I suppose Google had a fairly slow trajectory as well.
Interesting, but weird pricing. "Contact us" for 1,000+ MAU, which is every useful app out there. Compare this with Supabase, which is $25 for 100,000 MAUs.
Yep. I use GPT-4 extensively and exclusively, and the comment I was replying to mentioned GPT-4. I can't wait for it to get faster.
How do you deduce that the foundry's will be scuttled? I'm not saying they won't be. But I can foresee a world where too many people who care about these foundry's regardless of which political party is in charge, would prevent them from being scuttled. And also, China might have insiders in Taiwan that might prevent the scuttling and make sure they are preserved.
> but they were doing a massive modernisation project so hired to deliver it. Now that it's done they'll downsize.

Broadly right, but your tense is wrong. Openreach's[1] FTTP rollout program extends to the end of December 2026. Realistically, it may be delayed, because the scale is rather huge.

I love how every top level comment is all about how this is because Nintendo made an amazing game. Yet... with how fast this is selling, there is literally no way that folks know it is an amazing game ahead of time.

More, odds are high that if they had made this as not a sequel, it would not be selling as well. Go bolder and make it a new franchise? Same game would basically not be noticed.

I think it is fair to like the game. I go ever farther and think it is a fun game. But the lessons to learn from how fast and well this is selling is as much about the power of franchise as it is anything about this particular game/system.
Is it really that impressive that focusing on game design results in a better game than spending a billion dollars on a thousand artists so that every tree can have ten times as many polygons and each texture is 16kX16k? Better graphics rarely actually IMPROVE a game, and can do nothing to fix a game that was designed poorly.

AAA studios whine and cry about how expensive games are to make (completely glossing over the fact that they are 100x as profitable as they were in the 90s because videogames are no longer niche) but nobody asked them to! Linus Tech Tips water cooling a 4090 isn't the normal consumer! Most consumers want to have fun when they pay $70 for a game, not play the exact game they bought a decade ago with more detailed scenes, and more detail doesn't make a game better

First, I seriously doubt AI will replaced 55K people by 2030. However, even if it turns out to be a mess and we look back and laugh at it like we do with BTC. The negative side of this type of corporate behavior will only push more and more people away from the traditional work force or just work force completely. I'm not a big fan of modern capitalism and its overworking culture, but societies in generally can't handle massive amount of able body people who simply don't work. Monetary issue is one thing, but mental health will significantly impact our society safety.

I wouldn't say necessary, but I also don't think it's unreasonable. They're simply doing what is in their interest to do.

YouTube generated about $30 billion in revenue last year. Google don't break out their operating or net numbers, but I'd be pretty confident that they are already quite profitable.

What is reasonably apparent though, is that their user growth is flattening [1], and thus their revenue also [2].

Trying to increase ARPU is the obvious move, as it was with search.

I can see some of this being true.

A copper line isn't a continuous thing from the exchange to the customer. It's made of a number of sections that are joined together.

Now someone who once worked for a large British telecoms company once told me that they'd done some modelling, maybe using something like system dynamics if I was guessing, to gauge the effect of work on the network.

Any interaction with the equipment, whether to set up lines for a customer or even fix faults leads to more faults. So it ends up being more profitable to just leave equipment in place than to reuse it.

Based on that I would say that having all the pairs terminating at the cab instead of the exchange and using remotely configurable equipment would be a greater improvement again.

Just guessing you understand, I have no inside knowledge. ;)
> Like, the people who say that they can’t work for a manager unless the manager could do their job!

I've worked in IT for over 25 years. Other than a CTO or senior tech executive reporting to CEO, I have seen problems with technical people reporting to non-technical people that I never see with technical people reporting to, if not technical people, at least formerly technical people. A technical manager can have problems of their own, but why enter a new class of problems that don't exist otherwise.

Why would I work somewhere where my boss is effectively a PM?

Maybe, maybe not. The courts will decide. To those saying it's obviously unconstitutional, remember that the constitution is whatever five people on the Supreme Court says it is.
I follow. Can you give a concrete example of what you mean? "How different the inputs were, even along the criteria that the function actually uses in order to produce its output, is completely irrelevant..." In what context did this come up?
They did make an amazing game: Breath of the Wild. They’re continuing to reap the profits from it.
This is an annoying, pretentious article. You don’t need to know all of the intricate internals of a language and its runtime to appreciate its features. Similarly, you don’t need to learn all of the frameworks in the TypeScript ecosystem to be productive in TypeScript. So clearly there’s a disconnect between what the author wishes programming would be and the reality of programming.

edit2: "Adobe has not officially released the CS2 software for free. Instead, it has canceled its CS2 license management servers because of a technical glitch, so for those with existing licenses it is now offering downloads that do not require contact with the licensing servers. While Adobe admits this may be seen as it giving its software away for free, this service is intended for those with existing Adobe CS2 licenses."

Yeah that's why lit.sh and most similar tools have a mode to output a version of the file with the markdown commented out except for code blocks. This lets you pipe it into any tool and get output with proper line numbers, analysis, etc.

VS code is getting pretty smart about code notebooks too, it has native support for a few different formats of markdown + code blocks (hydrogen, jupyter, etc) and applies all the right syntax highlighting, analysis, etc. to each block automatically.

But presumably there is also more competition for jobs using popular technologies?

Perhaps the more important metric is supply of devs relative to demand. The top paying languages, according to the Stack Overflow's 2022 survey, are generally less popular: Clojure, Erlang, F#, LISP are the top 4. While certainly not an ideal metric (e.g., perhaps salaries are skewed due to more senior devs using these languages), this hints that the demand is certainly there relative to supply as companies are willing to pony up some decent cash for these devs.

The clear purpose is freedom of expression. Why should TLDs be limited to country codes? Allowing generic TLDs also relieves pressure on .com and brings down domain costs, since now you can have an interesting.space or cool.site

You’re absolutely right. There’s understanding how people tick, then there’s feeling it too.
There has basically never been a Zelda game that wasn’t amazing. Also this is a sequel to a game that people were buying before they even had a switch (because switches were hard to get for the first year or so.)

So yeah, everyone assumed it’d be an amazing game and it is.
The AI mention is interesting even if PR. There's a wide gap between no AI, and AI doing all the hard / boring stuff so people can be happy. And the way we (might) transition from the former to the latter will have a big impact on many people. If AI becomes a wealth only accessible to some economic classes leveraging it for profits, it will propel pain toward the other. Anybody trying to ensure this evolves in a smooth way for everybody ?
Supreme Court sidesteps ruling on scope of internet company immunity
Is the long term plan for this to open source it or monetize it?
No, you don't require those things. If you're using the proper primitives, they literally can't hog 100% of the server CPU. In fact, the default concurrency primitives in the BEAM/Go do not hog 100% of the CPU, meaning you literally have to go out of your way to fuck it up.

This makes a difference, and means you do not require queues for properly silo'd background tasks.
Fair point, but I'm already paying for YT Premium and on mobile switching to an Incognito tab would be a lot more work. I tend to watch a lot more YT content on mobile like during my commute on the ferry. On desktop definitely agree though!
I think there's a false leak here, because one of the comments on the Bloomberg article mentions them going with a design where the battery is external and connected via a wire to the headset (to prevent heat issues). That seems like such a bizarre design choice for Apple that I can't imagine they'd actually do that. Just... make the chip weaker?

(Like if you don't have pockets, where does the battery go? Or if you're sitting in a chair your back pockets may not be easily accessible, which means the battery is either in front and you're constantly bumping the wire, or it's on the floor or something. I know it's not a completely unsolvable problem because the Vive had that special head strap that draped down the middle of your head which was fine, but I still got tangled up from time to time.)

The impressive part of the NES was its picture processing unit, which among other things finally delivered on an arcade-like experience at home and gained mass appeal in the process. For the time it was considered quite an advanced chip in its price range. The other extremely clever thing Nintendo did with the NES was to put the video bus on the cartridge, and this enabled them to expand the console's apparent capabilities by adding new features to game paks. This helped to keep the NES competitive in the market for many years.

This isn't what happens when a reserve unexpectedly currency collapses. The ensuing capital market collapse causes bank failures and depression.

I think it assumes knowledge that the subscription is called "Creative Cloud". It is not immediately clear that older pre-subscription versions were not also "Creative Cloud". So, no, the article doesn't explicitly say it's about subscription versions becoming unavailable, even though that's what the article is about.

I believe the underlying issue (vaguely mentioned in the article) is that some older versions of some of the Creative Cloud projects had licensed sub-modules which have fallen out of licensing. So continued use of the subscription requires an "upgrade" which might remove needed functionality for some users.

Likewise you comment without actually saying whether it is or not.
