Well, yeah. A console is basically a discrete gpu with a few cpu cores bolted on to the gpu core, and a ssd added.

Discrete gpu involves paying for all the memory costs, all of the cooling costs, all of the video outputs and BOM costs, all of the testing and validation costs, and then just doesn’t do the last little bit that makes it a fully functional PC. Instead you are expected to buy a second set of memory, cooling, fans, etc and ship them all individually with total packaged shipping size of a small pallet, compared to a console shipped in something the size of a breadbox. It’s literally the most expensive way to build a computer with the most redundancy in system design and the most waste in shipment and validation.

So it’s not surprising that console costs and midrange dGPU costs are convergent. They are 90% of the way to a console, just missing the last few bits!

(But thats what PC gamers get from clinging to an outdated 1980 standard for computer design, and the form factors it provides for expansion cards. Just ask people to buy a new backwards compatible power cable string for their gpu, and provide them with a free adapter, and then watch the tantrums flow. The religious reverence for the ATX and pcie add-in-card form-factors is absurd and people get what they deserve when the pc designs that shake out of it 40 years later are incredibly poorly-fit to the real-world needs. Everything has changed, gpus dominate the system now, we deliver up to 400W through an intricate network of 75w/150w “aux” connector, and we still design cards and cases and motherboards like it’s 1980 and a gpu and cpu can both be passively cooled…)

You can build a Steam Console much cheaper, but it will also involve some sacrifices the PC community hates, like soldered (GDDR6/7) memory and no CPU/GPU upgradeability. But it’ll be 1/4 of the price, so it’ll be worth it even if you have to replace the whole unit to upgrade. That's why consoles are built that way, and not as an ATX PC.
It’s not that they are great, just that they aren’t actively awful. Regulatory changes make most of the “help a buddy out” stuff harder to do.

In my area for normal mortgages they are also consistently cheapest. If you travel internationally, are high net worth, or routinely need access to a lot of cash in different cities, you don’t need a big commercial bank.

> Still, a blanket law against posting strangers without their consent would be draconian and unworkable. There are too many variables, too many circumstances, and simply too many cases.

I disagree. If someone (who is a non public figure) is the subject of a photo/video and has their likeness used without consent by a third party, the third party should be liable. There should be legal recourse for the victim to sue and force the third party to take it down (plus compensate for legal fees)

Courts already deal with situations where there are "too many variables", the law isn't black and white for everything. The way that the author just brushes any legal solution aside seems like a cop-out

Agreed. It's transistor and power budget is huge for the performance it gives.

It's just not a good architecture. The Arc 770 has ~22 billion transistors to compete with a 3060 with ~13billion transistors. Power usage is much higher too.

Gamers will accept this since we don't have our PCs on all day. But they're years off an architecture that can be competitive in a data centre scenario.
Yeah it's been a stark amount of "cop'ing" (sp?).

To be fair, that's because it was optimized out. Mark it as volatile and try again. It will almost definitely segfault. The other points still stand, though - that's just because Linux is forced to respond to a page fault exception and chooses to signal that to the process.
AFAIK, there is no requirement to gather release forms from someone you happen to film in public. It is simply something done to reduce exposure to possible civil liability on commercial shoots.

I’m working with a distributed monolith right now. The system is misbehaving as a whole, but it’s difficult to point to one individual piece and say — this is the culprit.

A number of reversible decisions over the course of the years resulted in a terrible architecture.

Something is broken but nobody knows exactly what it is and there’s no organizational will to get it fixed.

What do you think journalists and reporters do? Is their work immoral?
That all sounds okay at an individual level, but to affect the massive change we need, relying on moral self-agency is not going to suffice.

So do you want governments to legislate that you must live with your parents? Or that you must not eat meat? Otherwise it's fine and good that a small share of the populace will make these choices on their own, but we need an order of magnitude more.

> Most people just chug along with whatever their job requires and provides -- the default IDEs and other tools with default settings.

Well, nothing wrong with doing a good job with the tools you have but if you don't ever evaluate new tools ever then you're almost certainly going to be doing things less efficient than you otherwise could.

I'm not able to find the article but IRC it's a Joel Spokeys article on every project has 3 innovation tokens and I think sometimes that should be a goal of no more but also sometimes no less. His idea was it being a maximum amount of new risk you take on; but sometimes I think it should also be considered a goal. If you're familiar with MySQL it takes 0 tokens to use but if you decide to use (new to you) Postres then it costs a token. Sure if the whole project is a short time frame it probably makes sense to only loop in 1 new technology but if its a multi-year project I think it's worth it to burn a week evaluating 3 new things on the off-chance one of them saves a week+.
So is this a counter example to Betteridge's law of headlines
Incentives surely play a massive role but it certainly is a technical problem. Pinterest must be showing up in Kagi's search in order for it to be so high up in the block list rankings. Do they share Google's incentives? The technical problem is deciding what is relevant when you have the entire world working towards gaming your search algorithm to appear at the top of the results. This makes it a cat and mouse game, and playing whack-a-mole by doing things like "if domain == 'pinterest.com': skip()", isn't scalable.

Would it not be easy to host the videos close to population centers in Australia and avoid those costs?
I don't really get what this article is trying to say...

It seems to kind of skip over what they mean by "too busy". Are they arguing that being too occupied to focus on another equally important task is a personal problem (which is obviously a ridiculous idea), or are they talking about people who just don't want to do something and thus pass it off as being too busy? Or is it about someone who's occupied with a task they think is more important?

Plus, all the buzzwords at the start made me think I was about to be sold a scammy self improvement course by a crypto-influencer.
I wonder if this is a proxy fight in the SAG-AFTRA/WGA strikes. Most of the core issue is the reduced residuals seen by workers on streaming, so making visible moves to cut out classic residuals completely would be a classic dick move in these kinds of fights.

Online I always try to talk about people as if the person I'm talking about would read it. It's always easy to be harsh when no one's watching, but the thing is that online you never know if they are. This doesn't mean I don't criticize posts or people, I just do it as if that person would read it.

I started doing this after some of my weblog posts (mostly about programming) ended up on Reddit and HN, and I read some of the comments on that. Some actual quotes (mostly from Reddit's /r/programming): “moron”, “idiot”, “retard”, “you must have an IQ lower than 65”, “fucking suck at making software (and I guess generally anything)”, “you’re like the anti-vaxxer of front-end development”, “this is hate speech” (context was about a technical topic they disagreed with, no politics at all involved).

And there's more ways to be unfriendly than using "bad words" like "idiot", such as not actually reading the post before commenting (frustratingly common), being excessively pedantic, very aggressive but without actually using insults, etc. I remember one guy who for some reason really had it in for me and did a line-by-line "rebuttal" on several posts, picking on the tiniest thing, resulting in some comments that were longer than the article article than he was responding to, but usually never really addressing the core point. Odd person shrug.

HN has been a bit better overall, though not perfect either.

Absolutely not, in the beginning it was a super welcoming community, that openly accepted all types of people with open arms, where you could have friendly debates with people you'd probably punch in the face in real life.

But it quickly changed as reddit became a more mainstream 4chan alternative rather than the welcoming community it was in beginning.
I don't think that's a realistic expectation, and hasn't been since at least the middle of the last century. Public acts have been in the media for a long long time.
No, even considering the optimization involved, consoles are about the same performance as a RX 6700 non-XT. They lean heavily on upscalers, and the upscalers are usually inferior quality so a 3060 ti / 3070 is hitting in the same general ballpark of performance too.

Xbox series X also only has 10GB of vram and series S is 8GB, which people usually don’t realize. Microsoft used a fast partition/slow partition strategy (like GTX 970) so in practice the slow segment is your system memory and you can’t really cross over between them because it kills performance.

You can get 3060 Ti for $275 now or 6700XT for $330. NVIDIA has DLSS which is generally higher quality for a given level of upscaling (FSR2 quality is closer to DLSS balanced/performance level), which offsets the raw performance difference a bit. Or AMD has more raw raster and VRAM. But that's kinda your ballpark price comparison, not a 4090. The consoles aren't 4090 either, they're rendering games in 720p or 640p and upscaling.

But it gets into this weird space where people refuse to turn down a single setting or use even the highest-quality upscalers on PC, but PC is too expensive, so they'll buy a console where the settings are pre-turned-down for them and they'll be upscaled silently from even lower resolutions with even worse-quality upscalers, with no choice in the matter. Consoles are like the Apple products of the world, they take away the choices and that makes people happier because having too much choice is burdensome.

The browsers all already have a centralized, real-time censorship registry. It's called "Safe Browsing" and run by Google and is used to block "malicious software". Everyone (incl Safari and Mozilla) uses it. It's got something like five billion clients.

Occasionally, there are false positives and you hear people screaming about it on HN because their personal site is now a giant red malware warning in 99.9% of browsers.

Google AFAIK has not yet been compelled to use it to censor at the behest of the state. It has existed now for many years.
Anyone is free to sign up to the gym and go to the showers. And it’s not about Google specifically. Any server is located out in what is essentially public. When you connect over the internet, you’re essentially leaving your house to go to that server.

Let’s say you used radio waves to operate a robot on a public street. Would it be invasive for those nearby to look at the robot? According to you, yes it would be because you’re controlling the robot from the privacy of your home. Or if you control the robot into someone’s yard. Wouldn’t they have a right to look at it? I’m not sure how you physically sitting at home changes things.
Reddit has a far everything. From tankies in denial to straight up Nazis, Admins do nothing with both sides. I used to like the libertarian approach (except the borderline/straight up cp subs...) but it is evident that they dont do anything except punishing their own community and censoring what they dont like because of being understaffed and underqualified rather than sacrificing on advertising revenue for the sake of liberty and pulling users that way.
That would be a relief. The number of customers that will continue to bank at Wells Fargo, however, suggests not only that the respondents didn't lie, but that the model was likely too conservative.

Eh. I think that is backwards. Star Wars would not (and in some works, does not) work without the magic. Science Star Wars is bad. Star Wars worked because it operated under a backdrop of objective morality. Good guys who learned the virtues of being good. Bad guys who were kind of just evil.

When you choose to lean into the science you tend to start doing things related to practical consequences of the tech that frankly just make the universe a lot shittier. Things like Jedi blood, droids that have machine intelligence and perfectly calculated 360 no scope shooting instead of their goofy “organic” personalities and flaws, light speed kamikaze attacks, annoying characters asking if the bad guys are the ones self identifying as the dark side powered by hate or is it some dickish wealthy arms dealers?

The important difference imo is not realism but whether the ability of the tech comes from supposed ingenuity or does it come from moralistic fantasy willpower stuff.

Game of thrones is more sci fi than Star Wars. While the former has fantasy elements, a lot of it is deconstructed practical consequences of the premise of the tech and magic. Game of thrones is not by any means emblematic here of what I’m saying though*

The techification of Star Wars is just a slow grind of ruining a world with canon
The author has overlooked the reality of hidden dotfiles. Using "*" will not necessarily pick up everything in a directory.

In the author's case, "rm -rf ." would've been just as destructive, and "rm -rf /" even more so (if the tool itself didn't stop you), so despite the power of the splat, there are many possible footguns.

And that's why, if we absolutely, positively want to destroy everything in a folder, we go one level up and call it by name.

Because I prefer the FP style, arg orders, name schemes, documentation, and Ramda is just generally very clean and simple. And you absolutely do not need to use currying when using Ramda. It's entirely optional (just pass 2 arguments...). I tried it a couple times using Currying with Ramda but it mostly makes confusing code so I never did. That was probably 7-8yrs ago and I still use the library daily.

Idk what type of code bases you guys have worked on but I've never had anything close to a situation where it complicated my Codebase or had other devs who were confused by it.

I can imagine someone abusing currying and getting fancy with 10 levels of functions wrapped in another function that gets passed around but honestly that is just bad programming.

Simplicity and clarity is something that is necessary in all programming, FP is not unique, and this library doesn't push you one way or the other, unless you use it for absolutely everything.
I skimmed, it seems to be marketing for confusing terminology

> Brown Language: A language that you are more likely to use in existing software maintenance. These projects are often called brown-field projects.

My first thought of a "green" language was one that was the most energy efficient. They can have the "brown" language terminology but not green.

Its also strange to use a color label for something that can be thought of in temperature, their "green" is just about the hot new language, which all of the brown languages were at one time.

I don't believe I've yet seen any swapping on my 128G M2 studio but I also don't watch it like a hawk.

Being able to use swap is obviously beneficial, and if you're going to use it, it's better if it's fast.

But relying on it in place of regular RAM means you're just artificially shortening the life of your SSD - that's what I meant about "a false economy".

The machine "feeling" responsive isn't the point.

If all other factors are the same, the ssd wear on a machine that's used the ssd heavily for swap is going to be significantly higher.
