> They had the chance of outrun threads but slept on it.

I don't think that's a fair criticism. Threads is backed by a $750 billion market cap megacorporation, while Bluesky just announced a seed round of $8 million, a mere drop in the bucket for Meta. https://blueskyweb.xyz/blog/7-05-2023-business-plan

Oh interesting. I remember that Folding@Home way back then (ca 2009) was already testing protein folding on GPUs and it took advantage of CUDA. I never really thought much of it other than how cool it was that my mid-tier Nvidia graphics card could be used for something else other than games, but this explains how this ended up happening.

(Bit of a tangent, but that project was very influential in getting me interested in computer science because, wow, how cool is it that we can use GPUs to do insane parallel computing. So I guess, very very indirectly, Nvidia had a part in me being a software engineer today.)
Is AES256 meaningfully slower than AES128 when you have AES-NI extensions?
I thought it was strange that the history of GPUs jumped from graphics to AI with nary a mention of crypto, but then I realized this was China-centric where this kind of GPU use-case is against the law.
Excellent point! Jensen is very focused and the company has worked incredibly hard on whatever they've put out there. The Shield is a testament of this focus. They find a budding niche and double down on building it from nothing. Most "self-driving" cars have Nvidia gear for a reason.
> That's not what nationalize means, you kind of went off on a tangent.

I didn't actually, but was bending a tangent back to my original idea. When I brought up wiping out the shareholders up thread, I never meant the government would operate the company on an ongoing basis and never used the term "nationalization." Though I could understand "nationalization" being used to describe a brief transitory state.

> Regardless the wealthy would find a way around any scheme like this, I have no faith something like this could be done effectively. Like I said they can't even regulate because of lobbying and special interests (they need money to get elected).

I don't really care. I'm tried of the idea nothing should be attempted because of a false assumption they "would find a way around any scheme like this." It's heads you win, tails I lose thinking. Screw that.

> My point primarily being that government is more the problem here than corporations. It's their job to put in safeguards to prevent these things from happening in the first place and they could do that without resorting to pseudo communism.

Alright then, if that's the case, lets reform criminal law around those lines. No punishment, no deterrence, just 100% prevention. Your friend get murdered? Don't do anything to the murderer, because it's really the government's fault it didn't successfully make murder impossible. I'm sure that would work wonderfully.
Why not exactly? What language would you suggest?
>then its parallel GPU got "lucky", first the bitcoin mining...credit must be given to its CUDA ecosystem

this seems like a bit of contradiction to me. they either got luck as you claim, or CUDA was good to keep things going. from my experience, CUDA was the only way to go for GPU accelerated processing. specifically, my experience was with Resolve color correction and using CUDA was the only way to go. memory is fuzzy, but the timeline on crypto was sametime-ish. because of the audience, this forum is naturally going to trend crypto vs niche video post workflows, but CUDA was definitely kicking Radeon/AMD ass in other aspects besides useless crypto.
We called them a tenner.
Yes, some of us have lived long enough to realize the truth; The truth is that those scientists decades ago who warned us all about exactly the things we see in the news daily these days were right then, and still right today. We should have taken action then instead of wasting decades allowing the problem to get so far out of control.
I've heard absolutely no one say anything positive about Threads. Mostly just that it shows you irrelevant content because there's no chronological timeline.
I had the exact same experience except I paid the CSR fee…
STEM grad students often have much bigger stipends than humanities grad students given that STEM is more well funded. It sounds like the union simply equalized things, although I’m not sure how that would work with DARPA or similar funding agencies, since RA salaries are taken out of grants (maybe just raise overhead to redistribute more funding to humanities, but grants have caps on overhead as well), so maybe just apply it to TA wages (then anyone in STEM would need to RA and avoid being a TA)? Anyways, it doesn’t take a leap to see how stipend equalization at a university would make it less appealing to those who would get less and more appealing to those who would get more.

It is a zero sum problem, unfortunately.

Well Threads currently doesn’t even have a chronological, non-algo feed I can look at, whereas on bluesky you can have any number of feeds with whatever algo/logic you want. I don’t think I’ll be using Threads much while the one and only feed is the way it is.

And there’s more differences than just that, it’s a bit too soon to do a declaration of death I think
As someone who also spent six years in grad school, I’m entitled to say grad students are generally remarkably unproductive. Much of their ‘research’ work after the 2-3 years of classes is best considered continuing education. Most of them suck as TAs too. They don’t need to make a living either - They just need to get by for 5 years by living with roommates and eating ramen. It’s what I did.

(And it’s not true grad students ‘often’ write their own successful grants. The vast majority of STEM grad students are supported on stipends from their advisor’s research grants or do a TA-ship when desperate.)

Relying on other people anecdotally and probably unprompted to judge relative weather is a pretty bad methodology. Why would you rely on that in Europe? Historical local data is easily accessible, especially in the last twenty years.

But yes, to make it average to a slightly higher temperature, but have some places have much hotter temperatures, some places have to cool off.
Threads had 48m users in a day which already includes the most popular influencers, journalists etc.

There just isn't enough room in this market for contributors to post on this many text-based apps. And so consolidation will happen.

1) Threads will dominate. Mastodon will be like remora fish.

2) Twitter will be the home for "freedom of speech", Crypto bros, OnlyFans girls.

3) Truth Social, Gab, Post, Blueksy, Spoutible etc will die.

> In other words, code that is more heavily commented is better.

It could also be that understanding code in any non-trivial project is likely to back the developer into a corner where they become frustrated and swear at the computer.

More importantly, the lack of swearing might be a sign that the devs lack the competence to know when they are cornered.
Clearly there are lots of people who love Tailwind, but for me it really misses the mark.

Yes, it's extremely ugly and unreadable when you have 10-20 classes.

But worse, you have to repeat them in other components even if you only want to change a single one of them. And making changes to multiple components, good luck.

Thanks but no thanks. I'll continue with my systems designed in css and sass.

Oh. We've been doing that for decades in the US.
I started teaching myself to code 8 months back. I was used to HTML/CSS so I used styled components initially. Someone persuaded me to give Tailwind a shot.

It was a little rough start but I now really appreciate the pre-built styles, the intuitive naming schemes, and the confidence that it will just “work” across devices.

I'd rather have them charge the $5 than be guilted into paying the $5 dollars as a 'tip'. Just makes the costs of these purchases more apparent.

The amount of piracy that occurs and the number of bad things that happen because consumers buy purely based on price without doing basic research shows that yes, the customers are greedy.
Everyone on bluesky loves the invite system because it has ensured growth doesn’t overwhelm still-developing features like how moderation works, it has encouraged people to generally invite non-assholes since their own reputation is at stake, etc.

Same. Worked when I tried Chrome, but apparently they did not test Firefox.
I think generally with cloudflare is they may be quick to drop you (or demand payment) if large DDoS is a regular occurrence for you. The free tier is generous but it dries up if your a huge target.

My company runs a a bunch of large community products and we run cloudflare in front of them to handle frequent DDoS attacks. We also pay for a cloudflare enterprise plan though.

The other side of the coin is them dropping a custom for other reasons.

Might be worth it to push through anyways. Twitter had its fail whales back in the day, I think a couple of temporary outages caused by demand might even be a good thing and add to the hype. Absence makes the heart grow fonder doesn't it? Seems silly to trade insane growth for perfectionism instead.

Crazy is that they were aggressively anti-foss even with their drivers not too long ago. Intel graphics usually has good Linux support, except for GMA500 which was based on Imagination tech.

Tailwind might as well be CSS now as far as I’m concerned. It’s been 3 years of greatness.
One of the main open questions is how abuse will be handled. Mastodon is operated by volunteers with little extra time, in the worst case you handle abuse by just de-federating from an entire instance. Saves time for Mastodon mods. I don't think you can do that with Threads?
> Threads had 48m users in a day

Let’s see how many stick around. Don’t get me wrong, I suspect you’re right. But given the promotion and ease of login I’m not at all surprised to see huge day one login numbers. The question is whether people like what they see enough to stick around.
And as many of us have observed, the key isn't just the app or UI, it's that there are people there. With Threads, people are indeed there. Like it or not I think this means Bluesky is dead-on-didn't-arrive.

Is it any surprise Facebook got this right? Understanding "it's cool because there are people there" is part of their origin story, after all.
>This will cause huge demand for delivery jobs, with insufficient supply of jobs. Normally this is rectified with price (wage) adjustments, but not here.

How does this increase demand for jobs if you also say that demand for deliveries decrease? There's only huge demand because it's entry level and/or side-gig level work. Not because deliveries are prestigious.It will just toss the ball to the next lowest barrier to entry job.

>the companies will require drivers to accept every job or be kicked out, and/or reduce the number of people they accept as drivers. This will make service worse for everyone.

People aren't going to stop eating. If it makes the service worse because the customers are choosing to go out themselves or buy groceries, I see that as a societal win. Of course, no decision is without short term downsides, and this is one of them.

Even then, this is only for one (major) city. This situation might take years to spread even if the court case is a slam dunk.
> This makes it a tiny bit more like app.net.

This was such a missed opportunity by the community, because app.net was the best implementation of a Twitter alternative ever made. Better than Bluesky, better than Mastodon, better than Threads, etc.

I quit Twitter in 2012 and joined app.net. It was great! But not enough people did that to make app.net last. I still think about what we could have had instead of the current lineup of crap. :-(

These companies are so reliant on a zero-interest-rate market and the increasing prices are bringing this reality home in a big way.

On Friday, I went to UberEats to do basic takeout for 2 in a reasonable cost of living area, and it was $50 total for basic takeout, nothing fancy.

In that situation, the company then expects us to tip knowing that we’re already at the upper limit of what’s considered appropriate pricing for this service. Of course the drivers are gonna get shafted.

The system was intentionally designed to make them as powerless as possible, as evidenced by the fact that these same companies had the gall to garnish tips from the drivers and then pretend like it was some misunderstanding. Anyone who’s written commercial software knows that this is BS.
Even if Threads is crap, it’s pretty obvious it’s gonna steal all of Twitter’s advertisers the moment they start showing ads, because the ad money generating users are moving onto Threads.

Heck, Threads doesn’t even need to show ads and the displacement of ad money away from Twitter will benefit Meta as much of that Twitter ad money will get redirected to Meta properties like FB and IG instead.

College as the base line assumption for getting a job is really bad, but there are a lot of other good effects that a year of college can give you that high school can't.

1) Since it's a lot bigger you will tend to mix with a much larger (and more diverse) number of people in an adult setting.

2) Since you get to choose your own subjects you can experience gaining knowledge that you actually want to gain, rather than knowledge as a means to an end (this would be even more true if again college wasn't a base requirement for jobs).

3) Most people will need to move at least a little way to go to college, which can help stop them forming a rut that they settle into after school and never get out of again.
German higher education is based in large classes with only an exam at the end of a class and no TAs, except at maybe the top institutions. They don’t need so many teachers, so they can treat them better.

It’s a system that we might want to try here in the USA, but it doesn’t coddle students.
My guess is that they would be fine with continuing to serve all models, but that hardware constraints are forcing difficult decisions. SA has already said that hardware is holding them back from what they want to do. I was on a waiting list for the GPT4 API for like a few months, which I guess is because they couldn't keep up with demand.
90% of my timeline is on Threads is all stuff I don't even follow, while Bluesky is exactly what I ask for.
