In other words, it’s a tool for the rich ruling elite to preserve its hegemony regardless of merit. The rich win, all others lose. This is in my view an absolute disgrace and is the opposite of what America should be even if it sadly is exactly what America often is.
You misunderstand me. It doesn’t matter how much the sound library is worth: if you weren’t using simulation to build it, then it’s irrelevant for the economic value of the simulation.

Like, you can turn lead into gold if you run a nuclear reactor—and gold is valuable—but running this process is way more expensive than just buying gold, so it’s not valuable.

Perhaps you could educate me: what's the state of the art that makes watts free?

> The thread is about where the oxide niche is and what advantages it has over competition. The idea there is huge amount to be won on southbridge chipset and IO ports in large scale systems is simply not true.

I don't think anyone has asserted that there's "huge amount"s to be won from the simplified hardware? It's my view that there is a small amount to be won (more if you're coming from DL380s, and a bit less if you're replacing blades, for instance). But those small amounts do add up, and contribute to the value proposition. I think there are other parts of the Oxide product that are more compelling, but that's the point: it's the total package that you're buying, not just the missing VGA socket on the front panel.

Imagine that I'm an enterprise computing user. I currently have a few small (wrt cloud providers) datacenters, stuffed with racks of any tier 1 vendor's rack mount, blade or even OCP systems. And they're running some combination of plain VMs, perhaps some orchestration platform (k8s, or Mesos, or whatever). And it's time for my 3/5/8-yearly refresh of a bunch of those systems.

A unified, coherent, targeted product (such as Oxide) might be a compelling offer. It promises to deliver cloud-type hardware and software efficiencies at a smaller scale. It gives me the savings of not renting from AWS/Azure/etc, while not dealing with the hodge-podge of the standard PC hardware and software stack.

Ask HN: Is Meta Going to Take over the World?
Consider these very plausible, imminent outcomes.

- TikTok gets banned in many countries, users mostly move to Instagram rather than YouTube.

- Twitter collapses, users move to Threads.

- Reddit deteriorates at a modest rate.

- Meta buys out at least one WhatsApp competitor (Discord? Telegram?).

- Generative mods hide or degrade swathes of the "Googlable" internet, which Meta has more resources to combat.

... That leaves Meta with a disturbing amount of world's social media marketshare.
> And so now we're seeing services turning to aggressive monetization because it turns out that we can't just have an entire world of sites and services all available for free with just a few ads slapped on top of them

It probably doesn't take a huge amount of money to run a basic Reddit-like forum site if you're not trying to become some imagined billion-dollar business.

> You can still set up your tiny quiet corner on the web, do your own things, and connect slowly with other people.

It would be a nice silver lining if the obvious missteps that we're seeing in the commercial web helped to inspire and invigorate the non-commercial web.
Even before owning an EV, whenever I would do a road trip, I would rent a car/SUV. it gave me a piece of mind. I wasn't putting 100s of miles on my car. It was much easier.

A road trip is an outlier for me. I go on maybe 1-3/yr. The other 360 days, my driving is local, and with home charging I never worry about filling up.
> Twitter's no longer a public platform

You can register an account for free and you don't even have to use your real email. If you're too lazy to do that, you can just wait until they sort out their issues.
how do you effectively manage them in the review process

The overriding principle is "no surprises at final review time."

For a big impactful change discuss the work in progress beforehand (specifically: architecture stuff, database changes, impact this will have on other code) with them as much as possible before final review time. There's no other sane way to do it.

Make sure you're all in agreement on the approach you're taking or, at least, make sure they're aware of it. Also a good way to (hopefully) make sure you're not going to conflict with somebody else's work!

Dumping a big commit full of surprises on reviewers is AT BEST poor practice and is at worst kind of shady and a sign you don't want to collab, don't respect your coworkers and/or or are hiding something.
Meta to release a Twitter competitor named Threads
It doesn't take a PhD to see where it goes. Once good enough AI is built, and we're close to that, it will be replicated by China, Russia and other big dictatorships. What would Russian dictator give for an AI that can lead his army with surgical precision? He would do anything. Other nations will have to follow. There won't be benevolent committees deciding how to use AI for good, it will be about survival. And it's going to take a miracle to avoid this scenario.

FWIW this made sense to me right away
Manuals in the 90s were sometimes actually fun. I still occasionally reminisce about that time in primary school, when one of the classmates bought (well, his parents did, I suppose) an original, boxed copy of StarCraft. He used to briefly lend the CD, and at some point copies of the CD started circulating, and he would just share the CD key with a few people - but in between, he lent me the manual.

I think I was the only one who really cared about it. I've had it for months, I think. Read it cover to cover more times than I could count. Pretty much memorized every bit of lore and trivia there was in it - and there was quite a lot. The manual itself was a small booklet, with a couple pages of backstory for each of the playable species, plus a lot of extra world-building details about individual units, buildings and planets. So even as I didn't have access to the game, my own imagination built a whole world and infinite stories out of what some would consider "filler content". But this filler content made me care, and eventually shell out my pocket money for Brood War, and later on, money from my first full-time job on the collector's edition of StarCraft II.

That SC manual came probably at the tail end of the era where the publishers put any kind of effort into manuals. Case in point: SC:BW came with just a tiny booklet with about equal split between lore/context, instructions for the new and changed game aspects, and legal/credits. SC II came... well, I don't know with, by that time Blizzard stopped caring about the game story anyway.

(Oh, and speaking of warm memories of computer manuals in the 90s, I have a special place in my heart for the big, heavy, couple hundred pages long manual to Word 6.0 (not 100% sure about the exact version), and earlier, for the interactive self-training application that came included with Windows 3.11 - that one taught me how to use the mouse!)
Dementia is the between the 3rd and the 5th largest cause of death in first world countries, depending on the country, and how you count. Most people aren't currently experiencing dementia, but there's a very significant chance that you're going to end up with it eventually.

The actual question should not be what percentage of the population has it; the question should be what percentage of people will be suffering from dementia to the point that they need assisted living care when they die.

No, I have 144hz and 60 hz monitors side by side at home, and 120/60 hz side by side at work. I can certainly tell the difference. It doesn’t bother me much, although it’s enough that I have held off on the recent Apple display mostly because it only does 60hz.
Posits seem interesting, but they are fundamentally very different than floats and ints, and much harder to analyze.
Lots of people can tell the difference and simply don’t care. I care about black levels but I don’t pretend that people who don’t care are clueless.
Why are you conflating 2K (2048x1080/1920x1080) and 1440p (2560x1440)? They're not even close to the same resolution.
I'm surprised no one is talking about the Dell screen bugs with macOS/M1/M2. I have the 27" and 32" curved monitor, and they both suffer from massive flickering issues with some hues.

And yes I have it pegged at 60hz, unlike the "solution" says, removing the variable rate does not solve the problem.

Buyers beware of Dell screens with macOS on Apple Silicon.

And yes I've tried many different cables... :)

I think your point is that 1/1000 frames would need to be 6:5 at 120Hz?

I'd be more concerned with the automatic black frame insertion most LCDs do to increase contrast.
Would you like to do the same thing for Truffle/Ganache or are there non-political reasons why you don't find this approach suitable for either or neither?

Exactly. The same problem happens on amazon all the time. The only difference is that amazon shows who has a verified purchased the book, but still, it is very easy to review-bomb a book on amazon, and they do absolutely nothing about it. So, I don't really see this as an issue with goodreads per se. It's just a general problem with moderating user generated reviews, or at least it's a problem with large companies such as amazon moderating (or not) those reviews.

I'm currently the Director of Technology for an NYC start up that has unfortunately had their business materially weaken. They're unable to keep me on past the end of Summer so I am looking for a new challenge to take on. Backend/Cloud/DevOps--Nearing 20 years of professional IT and consulting experience.
I'm aware. Please point to the part where I specified a 1 hour (or any) deadline. They're free to do whatever the damn well please quite frankly, but as they've made multiple assurances that said sources do exists, I was just explicitly stating that we would like those citations. EDIT: And while typing this, they delivered.
This version of the story implies that the outcome is a bad thing people have been tricked into doing.

As far as I can tell from TikTok people want to be part of a brand experience, they want to show their friends they live a luxury lifestyle, and they want to earn promotional goods by being influencers.

There may be some sinister manipulation by marketing experts, but maybe also people just love Texas Roadhouse rolls and love being a part of a bigger movement when they get their pint of butter.

Is there anything wrong with that? It's fun to do your version of the thing that everyone's doing!

I think the separate trend towards hiding your authentic self in a small group direct message or a Discord or Slack instance isn't so bad ... It's not too far off from where we were on IRC in the before times.
I managed to get within 5.4 miles, thinking that they were all different places. I didn't realize until I read the comments here.
I'm calling it now, this is going to hollow out twitter in extremely rapid fashion. I give twitter a couple of months once this launches, they'll do a Wile E Coyote where they walk off the cliff, followed by plummeting. Meta is going to grind the blue bird to a fine powder, not saying this as a Meta fan, just a casual observer.

There's massive pent-up demand for an alternative, and so far Bluesky and Mastodon haven't been able to fulfill it due to scalability and network stickiness reasons. Meta can absorb all of twitter's traffic without breaking stride, and they'll have a userbase in the millions within hours of launch that's able to hop over from IG.

RIP twitter, 2006-2023.

Nice mental gymnastics and self-rationalization, but I never said calling people tech bro's was bigotry. It absolutely is tribalistic stereotyping though, which is a key part of the same underlying mental phenomenon that leads to bigotry, particularly in the way it is being done here, to be disparaging and generalizing about people.
Strings in C++ are nice, especially now that we have std::string_view, but <iostream> is one of the worst pieces of the C++ standard library.

- <iostream> makes localization more difficult, compared to printf (localizing <iostream> code is beyond awful)

- <iostream> makes thread safety more difficult, compared to printf (it is safe to printf/fprintf from multiple threads, simultaneously, without any extra work)

- The <iostream> operator overloading syntax is bad (my sense is that the operator overloading abuse in <iostream> was a contributing factor for why Java doesn't allow operator overloading)

- Streams in <iostream> are stateful, and it's easy to accidentally leave them in the wrong state (radix, padding, field width, etc)

- Performance of <iostream>, out of the box, is mediocre (to get decent performance, you need to change some defaults)

The main advantage of <iostream> was that it provided type safety, but IMO that advantage has long since been irrelevant. You get type safety with std::printf, with most compilers, assuming you enable -Wformat on GCC or similar options in other compilers.

The only remaining advantage of <iostream> is that you can overload operator<<. I don't think that's much of an advantage, especially weighed against the numerous disadvantages.

Using std::printf is better and more portable. Libfmt is also better and more portable, and it is now part of the standard library as std::format.

One of the major ways this point is driven home in real life is through... letting the person fail in their task, suffer the consequences, and hopefully remember to read the goddamn manual the next time. Of course then there's a failure mode of e.g. bureaucracy, where people know everything is in the "manual" somewhere, they just don't trust themselves to understand it.

I don't understand the relevance of your comment. You've seemingly mixed in a few things related to my point, while ignoring the point itself.

We're specifically talking about legal jurisdiction. An instance of copyright infringement depends entirely on jurisdiction, because copyright is nowhere near any sort of natural law.

I agree that practically the US government will attempt to invent some rationale to bring every action in the world under US jurisdiction (having looked at a Federal Reserve Note once in your life, wearing a shirt that is colored red, white, or blue, etc). But assuming other countries might actually stop acquiescing to this type of nonsense some day, then an individual having explicitly assented to it is likely to be a strong point in favor of continuing to asserting worldwide US jurisdiction.

Web apps and their kin (Electron, etc.) also seem to consume 10-100x the resources of native apps.

Edit: I wrote the above before clicking on the link in the article which leads to....

> These apps were rewritten in Electron to offer a unified experience across desktops and to cut down costs… but for whom?

;-)
Easy mistake to make - they're both pretty similar in naming!
> It sounds like the login problem ... are the main issues.

I had a long list before that, off the top of my head:

- notifications were broken (disappearing or not appearing at all) which included DMs, or appearing late

- the follow/unfollow problem that so many complain(ed) about

- the algorithm dominating the main feed (the For you and Following is at least an improvement on this, if not a fix). Not really a Twitter only problem that one.

- lists was the old fix for the main feed problem, but they would go missing at times and set up was a pain

- clicking on "More replies" (or whatever it is/was) and they disappear/don't appear, sometimes on tweets I've already seen

- Let's not forget when they last killed off 3rd party apps en masse[1]

- changing settings often wouldn't work, and are still a UI mess today

Related to the freedom of speech thing because the ways it was implemented lead directly to them:

- shadow banning (I hate that everywhere, including the hellban here). Even searching a particular account was blocked, which is a pain when you're trying to find something you know exists.

- watching stats drop precipitously on tweets after Twitter had put their thumb on the scale. Shouting into the void isn't a fun experience. Watching interesting accounts wither also was a waste. Still plenty of trolls and bots though.

- trending topics being curated. Possibly Twitter's real USP is instant news, the trends can give an idea of what people are really talking about at a glance and get you straight into breaking news. Most of that was gone. They're worth a look again.

And several forgotten problems, I'm certain of it, I could've spent all day going through them, at the time. What a pile of steaming rubbish!

I often wondered if the first half of this list should go under the second half of this list because most of them appeared after Twitter became blatant in its ways, and some of them occur on other social networks too, but only on contentious topics (it amazes me how little is said about the heavy censorship Facebook engages in, must have a better PR department than Twitter. Maybe that's why Musk fired them all).

Then you find you can't log in often or at all. When I saw that Project Veritas video about Twitter, I believed it, because it made sense that no one was doing any real work.
