> The problem is all the flash in the pan ZIRP VC funded never-profit SaaS startups out there.

The thing is those startups sometimes make very useful software while they're around. I ran Sparrow (an email client from > 10 years ago) for years after the company that made it was shuttered and acquired by Google. If Sparrow was a SaaS product it would be gone 30 days after the acquisition was announced.

> SaaS from established firms seems to be more durable & maintained.

I'm sure many other users have noticed this too. I wonder if it makes breaking into the software space as an upstart firm harder than "in the old days".
Like elephant ivory worldwide ban, a worldwide ban on the trade of bluefin could be extremely effective, and would undermine Mitsubishi's stupid plans.

> The financial incentives are too powerful to turn down, each one can come in at $20 to $5,000 Per Pound. A single tuna is tens of thousand, if not hundreds of thousands on the market.

> On the consumer side (CA/NY) anything Ahi Tuna-related is going to fly off the shelf, even with premium mark up prices.

> I'm not sure where we go from here. Maybe a shift in community values?

Juxtaposition: for the producers the money is “too powerful to turn down”; meanwhile consumers can/should shift their “community values”.

Obviously you need to regulate things on the producer side. If it gets into production (and on to the consumer) then it’s too late already (see “food waste”).
Everyone else does the work to make sure it runs on cudnn, because they bought the hardware when it was the only reasonable solution, and if it works on anything else that’s just a happy accident. So you’ll spend weeks of your incredibly expensive engineering or researcher time fighting compatibility issues because you saved $1k by going with an amd card. Your researchers/engineers conclude it’s the only reasonable solution for now and build on nvidia.

It’s classic first mover advantage (plus just a better product / more resourcing to make it a better product honestly). I think you have to be a really massive scale to make the cost per card worth the cost per engineer math work out, unless AMD significantly closes the compatibility gap. But AMD’s job here is to fill a leaky bucket, because new CUDA code is being written every day, and they don’t seem serious about it.
It's also just a different type of work. Some people enjoy it more than others.

Putting out public consumption content shows you're the type of developer that enjoys putting out public consumption content. That can be a useful role for companies to fill, but it's hardly the only role needed.

It's a little flashy for interviews, and that can help get a foot in the door sometimes - but like the author mentions... Interviewers aren't stupid, we know that some of our best hires don't do any blogging/public content at all. It's not going to move the needle much either way for most of the hiring I've been involved in.
And we have this crappy paradox that Mozilla is held to an impossibly high standard. People want to burn them to the ground for daring to use Google Analytics, or the Pocket acquisition, and keep using a 100% Google browser, with preferential integration with all of Google's services/protocols/APIs.
That main ban is for purchasing alcoholic beverages. Adults in France can buy alcohol and serve it legally to their children. Same in Belgium, until 2010 it was even allowed to serve drinks to children in bars providing that adults where present and buying the drinks.

I don't get some countries or people that forbid alcohol until you are 18 or 21. I drank beer when I was 8 and got totally drunk at 14. Which was a good thing, because it was at home and, well, lesson learned. Starting with alcohol when going out at 18 or 21 sounds much more dangerous.
This isn't what "refute" means! Your situation does not contradict the article's claim. It's orthogonal.

> Take a look at Fuchsia for another example ... they are losing the control on Android, so they started this new project

I work on fuchsia and can honestly say I have no idea what you're talking about. Fuchsia and android are more complimentary than they are competitive. I've noticed that when there is a lack of information, people tend to invent things that fit their narrative, but that's a really dangerous habit.
I think you need enterprise grade cards for it to make it work. If I remember correctly consumer cards with nvlink can't share resources to host a 40GB model in vram.
Oh, I wasn't responding to the first point, of course Microsoft takes backward compatibility seriously.

Though it's possible to mix and match so the OS backwards compatibility isn't the full story.

i.e. a launch copy of Word 2003 works on later OS updates, yet the final patch version of Word 2003 also works on a 2009 launch copy of 7.
I don't think that the incentive to "provide as little value as possible for as much money as possible" is in any way unique to the SAAS pricing model. Theoretically, every optimized pricing model will attempt to maximize revenue at a given value level.

And in practice, what does "get you hooked, take your data hostage" mean? I can't think of many SAAS subscriptions in my personal life where this is a real issue.
Looks like this has been inserted into release 117, which won't hit the stable channel for several months yet. Chromium is still the most secure GUI browser out there so I'm not in a rush to leave, especially as OpenBSD 7.4 will probably ship with 116.

If the devs/Google's intentions are truly limited largely to trying to prevent bots, then I hope they realise their folly.

Optional education for students is fine if we don't utilize self-government.

I almost immediately became suspicious on the accuracy of this article when they said the "Nvidia RTX 40 Ampere series". Ampere was the architecture name for the RTX 30 series. Ada Lovelace is the architecture name for the RTX 40 series.

As of today, there is zero consumer card support from AMD. It is an option only if you have a PRO card.

"Formal support for RDNA 3-based GPUs on Linux is planned to begin rolling out this fall, starting with the 48GB Radeon PRO W7900 and the 24GB Radeon RX 7900 XTX, with additional cards and expanded capabilities to be released over time." [0]

hey Matt and Mayank. Congrats on taking a leap into this. Back in 2009 I was a founder at a company Crowd Science where we were using survey results along with behavioral data to build models that would be used to classify individuals for advertising targeting. We ended up selling it to an advertising platform. It did work quite well. Would be happy to chat about our experience. There are also a few doing what they call synthetic panels but I believe they are quite naive at this point so there is definitely an opportunity here. I think validation of your output will be very important but there are some interesting ways to approach this. Super cool stuff.

Reminds me of a story: I was in college physics in fall '89 and our professor was telling us how he and his son spent the summer in Alaska prospecting for whatever material was all the rage in superconductors at the time. He was explaining that once superconductors broke the liquid helium temperature, it was going to be a game changer. He said "If you buy it by the gallon, liquid helium is cheaper than beer."

To which a student replied "You buy beer by the gallon?"
Real monsters today? Child services people who turn a blind eye to abuse and let kids die because it's too much work to deal with it. Your neighbors who assault and beat their kids. And of course the hundreds of millions who oppress others on a daily basis.

I am using it regularly without issues on firefox so I am not sure what you are talking about and definitely not in the "unusable realm". Can you be more specific?
Just unlocked a memory for me. I only had one of those books and read it incessantly for a time, dreaming of having the complete set. Now I have to check ebay!
I remember working for a large financial company before the big crisis. Half the infrastructure was unix on x86 and the other half that made most of the money was on VMS running on Alpha. We eventually went to the itanic architecture and got maybe 30% more memory and everything else was harder. VMS on Alpha was freaking amazing. Toolchain sucked, compilers sucked, the developer interface was really rough. Think non ssh protocol to console with non vt220 compatible terminal, with custom non xwindows gui protocol to run emacs. No code works cause filenames look like e0:[funkychicken]\goats\maker.txt;2 The ;2 on the end is the version. It also had a distributed lock manager , a geo decentralized file system which the equivalent of distributed inotify integrated into the decentralized lock manager. 20x the horse power over our x86 nodes, and they supported cluster operations across all 50 of the alphas. We ended up replacing the batch processing with like 200 nodes of Hadoop and hbase. It was never as stable, scalable or fast as vms. It was 100x cheaper though :)

Hunting Down Twitter Sh’tposters with Node.js/Puppeteer
Hey HN!

My name is Jared Wright, yesterday I did a live stream where I built a web scraper to find the funniest Twitter accounts (sh!tposters) based on a topic. Seeing as the recommendation feed is eh. It took sub 2 hours to finish the script. Seeing how Twitter is closing their API a bit I also wanted to do some web scraping to show alternatives to getting data.

Here’s the live stream for anyone interested https://www.youtube.com/live/-Hfx9tCeShA?feature=share

I started streaming 2 weeks ago to educate people on some topics around how to build things on your own (finetuning LLMs, web scraping, chrome extensions, etc) rather than being dependent on APIs all the time. Also just like having fun hacking at night and need someone to talk too…Anyway! Have fun and ask any question below I’m here all day.
We could make a huge dent in this problem by simply reusing glass containers for things that are appropriate. Start with beer and soda. Move on to canned beans, soup, etc. Setup programs to make returning the containers easy.

We use 80,000,000,000 aluminum cans, 35,000,000,000 plastic bottles, and 16,000,000,000 glass bottles a year in the US.
A good alternative is the codegpt plugin. You simply configure it with your openai api key and it should work. You have to set up a credit card so they can bill you for token usage. But that's super cheap. My bills are below 1$ every month.

Code gpt allows you to select code and then trigger different prompts for that. Like review this code, find bugs, optimize this code, etc. If you select gpt 4, it gets pretty OK. I've caught a few edge cases with it.
If we're talking about commercial operating systems then Windows NT comes to mind. Here's what they say:

"In 1988, when the project first began, the team comprised about 20 engineers. By the time the first version of Windows NT shipped five years later, the team had expanded to about 150 engineers as it battled constraints and tradeoffs."

https://news.microsoft.com/features/the-engineers-engineer-c...

But I think comparing these team sizes is not very meaningful without at least a cursory look at what is part of the project and what isn't. Is it just the kernel? Does it include an entire graphics pipeline, a UI toolkit, a network stack, device drivers?
Then become an activist for making meat consumption illegal. That’s the easiest solution within that easiest solution.

Alternatively you can try to convince individuals to become vegetarians, which is a leass easy solution within that easiest solution. ;)

> Otherwise everybody would be there

There are tons of devs who have little interest in those $500k jobs. But regardless, applying for any position at any company is a sales and marketing task. The advice in this article applies well to them all.
Streaming services can be compelled to remove your access to content at any point. I don’t like giving that power to anyone when it comes to something I love so deeply.
EMH being settled isn't of issue here, and I did not claim the markets followed a random walk. It's the name of a book, not a theory pushed by the book itself. The fact that you haven't even heard of the book speaks volumes as to your education in personal finance.

The basics of investing are settled for individuals, and you are not operating at a level of sophistication to rise into the areas of finance that are debated.

These aren't "my" methods, they're the methods. You either do these basic things as a retail/individual, or you lose money. Period.
I worry that times have changed, and adults proposing these rules may not “get it.”
It's a very strange series of events that led us here, with various stages of 'oh no' and 'oh yes' events happening.

Like Apple trying to region-lock emojis, or whoever decided merging CJK together was a good idea, or that plan9 dev who scribbled out UTF8 on a napkin.
Right, which SUCKS. Everyone who wants to prototype on their existing gear before jumping into a big pro card purchase is stuck with Nvidia, and the availability/performance of the software stack shows it.

Your definition of shitposting is... odd.
It was not quite decades in advance. Although a version of FX!32 was demoed in 1993, the first production version was released in 1996. Apple's Power Macintosh already included a 68k emulator in 1994, and by 1998 it featured just-in-time binary translation like FX!32: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_68k_emulator
This is from us manually testing it on macbooks that we have available. It might run, but it's probably using swap.
At a university level that's a pretty reasonable rule to have. Hell, even during exams, why confiscate? If the phone would be a means of cheating, the rule should simply be that using one is an immediate fail. That's how all my university classes did it, if it wasn't an open book exam, all phones were to be placed either screen down on the student's desk or left in their bag.

Worked perfectly fine.

I only ever had one class (which wasn't an elective) where computers and phones weren't allowed even during lectures, which was ironically an intro class on programming in C. Was a waste of time because the professor sucked and for me doubly so because I had already been using C for many years by then. Attendance was also mandatory so I just sat in the back and mostly slept through it.
I'd go even further and say that vast majority of population equates google with "the internet".

"IT people" live in a bubble and HN crowd even more so. There is nothing to stop this.

> Methane and N2O do not increase the amount of carbon in the ecosystem and do not change the climate in the steady state

Not true ... warming potency, bio sources (like fossil fuels), deforestation, energy use, animals' inefficiencies in converting plants into calories/protein

> surely that's still a one time event

Not true ... deforestation for pasture or farmland (carbon into atmosphere), cleared land doesn't store carbon as much as forest do, reforestation mean not only carbon capture while forest is growing, mature forests still serve as carbon sink, sequestration potential is not only about animals, but also vegetation and soil, which is capable of storing 3x more carbon than the atmosphere, harvested wood for architecture keeps carbon stored for decades, centuries even. It's not one time event.

> The overall body mass of mice, foxes, and deer is absolutely ineffectual for carbon capture,

Not true.

> If not for other reasons, I can't see how Google a search company can be allowed to push something that can kill competition using its market dominance in other areas like browsers.

Because antitrust has been dead for a while. Chrome is a tool to drive people to Google and Google ads and nothing more.

I will say, I did appreciate Microsoft having a browser engine with IE and Edge, even if the former was notoriously a pain, it gave competition in the space. Unfortunately, that's not the case anymore and everything is either Chrome (Blink), Firefox (Gecko), or Safari (WebKit). And it's pretty clear what Chrome has done once that have amassed a dominant market share.

I'm sure there are Googlers who think they're legitimately making the web a safer place, but I think the real reason is pretty clear if you take a birds eye view.
Doing the same, I already moved a bunch a while ago but have a couple that are kinda hard to do so since they rely on their Functions infrastructure.
I believe you're confusing react-native-reanimated (https://github.com/software-mansion/react-native-reanimated) with the Animated API from React Native. react-native-reanimated allows JS code to run on a UI thread that is able to synchronously modify layout, providing alternative synchronous ways for you to hook into the layouting. For instance, as opposed to the asynchronous `measure()` method provided by React Native to measure layouts, react-native-reanimated allows one to call their version of `measure()` (https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/api/...) to perform the same operation on the UI thread, synchronously.

But why were there picket lines?

I don't think people were taking that risk, and dying, in order to extract rent, to merely get paid more. They were forced by working conditions and limited options. Which is what happens if corporations control all jobs, and thus removing the option to 'shop-around' in a free-market of 'job opportunities'.

If there is no option to leave, one must try to improve the current situation.

Unions were the outcome. In other cases, like current more modern solution, the government pays welfare to makeup difference in wages between corporate pay, and the amount needed to allow people to eat.

But, if Unions are Socialist and bad, and Welfare is Socialist and bad. What is next option?

If enough people are starving, and there are no safety nets, then the situation does get violent. This is where more dramatic violent revolutions come from.

Hence why Socialism is the end state of Capitalism, because Socialism is just another way to keep the poor : 'kind of ok enough to not violently revolt.'.

Socialism is the way Capitalist's put a Band-Aid on the population to keep them from revolting. Socialism and Capitalisms aren't opposites.
Like many others in this thread you stack so many assumptions on top of each other. Why? I don't think that helps.

Will this person's bank implement WEI in such a way that none of this person's devices (computer, phone) are supported and will this person not be willing or able to switch banks, only then buying a new computer comes into view. Without knowing anything about this person, assuming average, the chances for this must be low or the bank will have no happy customers left.

I fully agree with the underlying worries you and others in this thread have, but to extrapolate that without any nuance into a world where we all become privacy-less, ad consuming, eye tracked zombies on newly bought computers is not helping the case (in my view).
Now that you mention it, the spotify subscription is actually very interesting here. A bundled subscription for all the software you use could make sense (though it would probably by 10-100x the cost of a spotify subscription).

However, OP's resource allocation model (each user determines which developer gets their payment) doesn't make sense to me. I think it would be better to prototype multiple resource allocation models in parallel and see which are most fair and sustainable over time.
The point is: There is no biological concept of "race", therefore you can't have "race research" or "comparisions". "race" is a purely social construct more common in certain countries than others.
I believe software eating the world (and will continue to do so) exactly because of how it's paid now. Not sure that much innovation needed here
