I don’t know. Everyone wants the good audience, aka the audience that spends money, aka the iOS audience, but for cheaper.

It used to be that you got to that audience by doing something deplorable for a Hollywood film producer or a newspaper publisher in New York. Now you “just” have to pay a 30% fee. It turns out that deplorable acts scale a lot worse than eCommerce. And in my opinion, the deplorable approach denied us a lot more unique creative output than the 30% model does.

Spotify is right, sure. But these sorts of monopolies on audiences have existed forever.
I hear you- it really sucks when I eat too much/too late in the day/the wrong thing and also am too tired to stay awake and digest. Sometimes I have fallen asleep in a comfortable chair as a workaround, and I've started using antacid tablets now and then but they're uncomfortable and I don't want to rely on them. I used omeprazole for a cumulative month while I rehabituated to eating smaller, more frequent meals and stopping around 4pm.

I don't have any GERD-specific resources to suggest, as I have a solid foundation from childhood of eating minimally-processed food from the garden and local farmers. To cook for my family I use the NYT Cooking app because it's easy, and cookbooks from the library. Ayurvedic cookbooks, Instant Pot cookbooks, anti-inflammation cookbooks; all have some good options.

I absolutely love eating, not just in the moment but how I feel after a good meal. When I'm stressed, however, I tend to eat easy foods that are less healthy; feels good in the moment, but not so great afterwards, kinda like Rand al'Thor (in Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time) might feel reaching through that oil-slick taint (a difficult word to use with a straight face here...) to access the Source. So, I work to take care of myself in general so that the gestalt is positive; better action begets better actions. It doesn't always work, and when it's a downward spiral the best I can do is forgive myself, not let my failures get in the way, and keep at it. Good luck!
Not really, as Steam packs a full runtime or you could use something like AppImage.
"cloud print" adapter

What you are saying makes zero sense. Cloud print is wireless and over the internet.

The gameboy camera worked because it is a standard video device that could be hooked up through a cable.

The printer uses its own protocol. You can't hook it up through a cable adapter and expect it to immediately work and cloud print makes no sense at all since that prints over the internet.

did my comment warrant that attitude

There is no 'attitude' here, you just aren't saying anything that fits in reality. It seems like a mishmash of unrelated ideas with no thought put into them. Your comments read like you just wanted to reply with something vaguely related, what did you expect as a response?
That's the current best alternative. Big studios are not going to invest development into a platform that does not directly translate to more money. Best they can do is make use of open APIs like Vulkan (Even tho DX11/12 work with the current tooling too).
How do you know in advance it will grow into a unicorn? I tend to agree with you, but that's a shame to have a team of 30 engineers working only on billing, even if you are a unicorn.. I would prefer to have them working on my product
I mean development on Windows got better by literally offering Linux through a subsystem. if you can't beat them, be them
> the distributed nature of things is always going to make it more expensive than a traditional solution

> especially if you need byzantine fault tolerance

For storage this can be done much more efficiently with erasure coding and hashing.

For compute, reputation. A node with no reputation has all of its output verified (and so gets paid less). A node with a good reputation history only gets random spot checks, but fail a spot check and you're back to getting paid less, maybe even retroactively.

> For instance filecoin only has a low thousands nodes, the average filecoin node has something like 10PB of available storage, the top three having 90PB each and making barely $1600 a day, which is $6.4 a year per TB.

So it costs too much and it's too cheap?

The nature of something like this is low barrier to entry, so the high competitiveness is going to result in low prices. That's kind of the idea.

The result is going to be two main categories of supplier. One, huge nodes with economies of scale. These might take lower prices than some retail cloud offering, but they also don't have customer acquisition or support costs. Two, nodes with "free" storage, e.g. you built a media center which is already on 24/7 but still has a few TB of free space, so until you get around to using it yourself you'll take the however much in free money. In both cases because they have lower costs than competing providers.

It sounds like the network is providing several exabytes of storage for an extremely competitive price. How is that not a success?
Large metros have been punishing on car users for decades. However, they have not mandated you can't use your car. They've simply made it very expensive and inconvenient for you to do so.
I'm not qualified to give a complete list, but here's a few general tips I can offer:

- Launch options! They help everyone, but are specifically great for stuff that breaks often like fullscreen settings, DirectX versions and game launchers.

- Simpler stacks work better. You can run a browser-scale runtime if necessary, but a thin implementation around Win32 might run better for everyone. YMMV.

- Multiplayer stacks are a bit of a pickle, but there are a few options. Some games (eg. Overwatch 2 or Dark Souls) will queue you up as a normal PC player. Others (Destiny 2, Rainbow Six Siege) won't let you play online at all. A smaller-yet selection of games uses anti-cheat patched into WINE (eg. Apex Legends) and that seems to work great. Again, YMMV and it will depend a lot on the game you ship.

The super-low-level stuff is a mystery to me, though. Hopefully someone more qualified has tips on it written somewhere :p
It's much worse - if the data isn't just a ton of tiny files, and you're able to spin up a bunch of workers for parallelism, you can get up to 120 Gbps per storage account (without going to the extreme of requiring a special quota increase).

That means in a little bit over 5 minutes, the data could have been downloaded by someone. Even most well run security teams won't be able to respond quickly enough for that type of event.
Disclosure I work for the company that released this: https://github.com/protectai/modelscan but we do have a tool to support scanning many models for this kind of problem.

That said you should be using something like safe-tensors.
Proton is not a silver bullet. Starfield, for example, works with Proton but if you look at ProtonDB you will see that it does not work for many users.
>-Tell customers what our prices are to upgrade Premium membership options;

surely if I upgrade it tells me the price before I purchase the upgrade? they are complaining that they can't advertise it in the app?

>-Let our customers request an email or other communication telling them about the ways they can save money;

seems like "let our customers request" is doing a lot of work here

>-Provide our customers with different payment options beyond what Apple mandates (e.g. a credit card or PayPal, etc.); or

ah, so no crypto?

>-Deliver new product enhancements or introduce new features to our customers without Apple’s explicit approval.

so they don't want to have to be approved to be on the app store... aside from the fee, these are the fundamental complaints they list. seems a bit whiny imo.
If I write an app for the app store and sell it for $10, apple gets $3. If I sell it for $5, apple gets $1.5. If I sell a subscription for $10/month they get $3 a month. Apple's work is the same for all of these. Their monopolistic position is how they can demand a pretty exorbitant 30% cut. Walmart, Costco, et al wish they had a 30% profit on everything the sold.

For the record I don't even really like Spotify that much, I don't use the app nor am I subscribed. I do like my iphone but Apple is in the wrong here.
> Why are Americans always so quick to cast shade?

Not sure it’s an American thing, but it’s definitely a thing here in HN, a lot of times it’s not that bad, but it does feel crappy
> Listen to what these post graduate students want - for those who are moving a city like NYC or Boston

I totally agree with everything you’re saying and listed but let’s not pretend the biggest item is anything but “higher salary” for most. We all know that some of these major metros have companies that pay 5-10x what you’d get in a small midwestern town.

Anecdotally, I did an internship in Cleveland followed by an internship in Santa Clara (Silicon Valley). I got job offers from both and chose California. The Cleveland company was a major donor to me school, so I got hounded by the schools career development office about why I chose to go to Santa Clara instead. They asked what the company could do to be more attractive to me - they mentioned intern ice cream parties, and Friday hours worked, and mentor programs, etc. The intern pay was $18/hr vs $80/hr, and when I brought it up, that was not a good answer - they wanted something cheaper easier and more superficial to change.

My point is that NYC and Boston have nothing to worry about, and nothing will change.
This is seriously a terrible take. If you want to look at centrally planned economies, you need look no further than the Soviet Union, post WW2 china, and post-partition India.

Soviet Union make 85,000 T-34 tanks (with a large amount of industrial and technological support from the United States).

India adopted the centrally planned economy with western style democracy.

China basically mirrored the Soviet Union until the 1990s.

These three nations basically languished enormously under centrally planned economies and didn't recover until the 1990s when all three of them switched over to free markets
What rubbish clickbait. Anyone who can afford a super yacht was never constrained by return-to-office mandates. They are the boss dictating their own fates.
The U.S. is racing to source chips from Vietnam – but engineers are scant
I think so far the F-35 has had 1 death and maybe half a dozen crashes in hundreds of thousands of hours of operation.

Just from perusing the stats for other military planes that seems pretty good actually.
Humans have this ability to obfuscate any issue. When there is a simple pattern for things some people always take edge cases and argue that the pattern is really not true. They don’t understand how models of the world work. Of course it’s not ideal but it’s a useful framework for understanding things.

I imagine the reason Newton’s laws never developed before was because of all the influential know-it-alls who took empirical data (moving objects stop! Gaseous balloons rise!) and drew the wrong conclusions from it (gases want to rise up to be with all the other gases…solids want to be at rest.)

It took Newton to do a thought experiment of a projectile moving in outer space to deduce his laws of motion.

The fact is that newtons laws aren’t really observable on earth, unless you have the imagination to see it and do the mental bookkeeping of accounting for friction as a separate force.
It was the same split they took selling music, movies, TV shows and ringtones in iTunes.
Can anyone confirm being able to use it with the API?
It's also not great when they're devalued over time.

They serve a couple useful purposes though, even from a consumer's perspective (unless we fix enough other broken things about our payment infrastructure). There's an inherent conflict between convenience, security, transaction fees, and the chance of not being paid (or for online services like this, the guarantee that somebody orchestrates millions of accounts to distribute a compute load while fully expecting to never pay a dime) when dealing with very frequent or very small transactions.

Other options Adobe might have considered include:

1. Don't offer the feature (if the feature is good enough to tolerate company currency then this seems like a worse option)

2. Pay per use (high transaction costs, high friction if you don't store payment details, low security if you do, risk of default if you batch uses over time, ...)

3. Monthly subscription giving unlimited uses (not tenable for AI that has very real compute costs associated with it, you'll have users abuse the limits)

4. Monthly subscription with a max number of uses (just a different way to pay for credits, strictly worse than buying credits and having them last indefinitely)

5. Batch uses over time, bill if they exceed a threshold (lowers transaction fees, increases security, increases consumer goodwill, vulnerable to targeted attacks)

And so on. Do they actually have any good options, or are they choosing between a bunch of least-bad solutions? I ask partly because I was planning to use a similar model of charging up-front for credits for an unrelated service because I thought it would be the most consumer-friendly in that domain.
Evidence of the Effects of AI on Knowledge Worker Productivity and Quality
What's your vision? Can AI handle revenue prediction and billing engineering tasks? Both? How?
What a lot of people don't realize is that obese people are VERY muscular. It takes a ton of muscle and bone density to support that much extra weight. This is why exercise is important in any weight loss regimen. It isn't important because it burns calories, but because it maintains the condition of your body.
Aren't you free to use Android instead?
That's a great tshirt line. Especially at AI conferences :).
Ask HN: Why has Goodreads fallen so far in Google Search results lately?
When searching for a book, I remember it being 1st or 2nd with Amazon having the other spot. It's fallen way down lately. Any idea why?
What makes Spotify entitled to be on Apple’s App Store?

I think the third way is to allow side loading apps.
No one is trying to interfere in your private affairs in this conversation.

You have definitely read something into it that was not actually stated
Depends on how you look at it. Some portion of those tech issues are probably useful, someone took the time to report them.

Also did they specify which distro(s) they support? Dedicated enough QA? Differences are typically not that hard to paper over, mostly a bunch of if-dir-exists, do this, else do that. XDG_* env vars help as well. Proton, flatpak, etc.
You have a loving and supportive partner :)

I enlist yeast and bacteria to pre-chew some of my food, namely in sauerkraut/kimchi. Cooking also is a form of pre-chewing.
Because they do the expensive work of marketing and making a phone that appeals to rich people, who actually spend money on stuff.

Spotify isn’t giving Apple a cut of revenue per se, so much as it’s spending money on ads for a specific audience in a specific way.

I suppose Google too could make Android phones more attractive.
Create-WebGPU-App
Create-webgpu-app is a library for generating web-based applications using WebGPU.
yeah, exactly, it's not real science. Doesn't matter why.

Atomic bombs are very dangerous too and not very easy to "test them right", but atomic physics is a real science.

Anyway, the problem in psychology is that psychologists often lie and fabricate false evidence, not that the rats aren't enough.

There are multiple studies about it, published by scientists, most of them agree that "Don’t trust everything you read in the psychology literature. In fact, two thirds of it should probably be distrusted."

There's a point where a field can't keep going on shielding behind the false myth that "the problem is that we can't test on humans".
Hard to blame this on Federalism when states had more relative power in the first half of the 20th century and we were able to complete amazing public works projects on reasonable schedules
Oh, they are just trying be "factually helpful" (not that I think it's a particularly helpful contribution)
And what do you think the App Store is?
Obviously when you frame it like this it sounds insane, but the fact of the matter is that responding to support tickets and triaging bugs have a real, hard cost in $$$ spent. If supporting Linux platforms doubles your time spent responding to support requests and triaging tickets—even if you never fix an additional bug, it could very well be enough to entirely tank the profitability of adding Linux support, well above the value that any additional minor bugs they find might bring.
I'll echo a positive experience using Steam on NixOS. Almost makes me wish my Steam Deck was running it too.
Except if the benefiting party receiving spousal support and child support is after tax, so they don't report that as income. So, if they don't work, they qualify for unemployment benefits (at very least the Medicaid) - the government still pays. Speaking from my own experience. My ex is now trying to fight to get more child support because my son is on my healthcare plan my employer offers, she wants to put him on Medicaid like her and get the money instead. In other words, government still going to pay. I think her lawyer didn't agree with her because it's not the best interest for our kid and could be a waste of time. Although I think it's terribly for the higher earner in the divorce, I can't blame her for gaming the system. It is well set up for her to take advantage of this divorce situation. I even know there are women have multiple children from different men just so they can live luxuriously - none of child support is counted towards income when calculating other child support - the only risk is some men rather go to prison than paying lol.
Sure, but the “too low” comment was about the dietary recommendations, not about the actual quantities typically consumed.
Sure, I was establishing a upper and lower bound. That's why I said between 2x and 5x margins.
Have another look at the first example I shared. One major limitation of glsl is a lack of functional programming. In that example, we pass functions to other functions, and iterate over arrays of functions, neither of which are possible in glsl. This is used to implement generic transformations of SDFs. If you did the same with just glsl it would be much longer, harder to read, and there would be duplicated code.

You can even use recursion (with limitations of course)!

At the same time, many more people know javascript than shader languages, so this makes it easier for beginners to get their hands dirty and can be a gateway to gpu programming.
So there are benefits for both novices and advanced users! There are pitfalls to this approach too of course and it certainly isn't a replacement for glsl, but the purpose is simply to explore new possibilities :)
I'm sorry, but you're still tracking your 19 year old and calling them if they don't seem to be in class? They're an adult. If they haven't learned how to be responsible by now, then it's time you let them learn, possibly the hard way.

Having tracking capability in an emergency could be good. But my God, when do you expect them to be a fully functioning human if not by 19?
Well, it doesn't error out! In this example, it seems like it picks the result from whatever matches the last column, but not sure if this is determinstic:

sqlite> create table x(c1, c2);
sqlite> insert into x values ("a", 1);
sqlite> insert into x values ("b", 2);
sqlite> insert into x values ("c", 3);
sqlite> select c1, max(c2) from x;
c|3
sqlite> select c1, max(c2), min(c2) from x;
a|3|1
sqlite> select c1, min(c2), max(c2) from x;
c|1|3

(note: since SQLite is dynamically typed, no need to specify column types for simple examples like this).
So without Walmart they wouldn't sell as much product? Kind of like Spotify and iOS devices?
I find the slowly proliferating "we don't accept cash" signs really uncomfortable, and I feel like avoiding the businesses which operate that way, despite the fact that I usually pay with a card anyway. I just don't like the idea that bank access should be required for participation in the economy.

This stuff isn’t intended to do anything but point the finger away from the man behind the curtain for the current social and economic problems in mainland China. By creating an external boogie man all problems can be attributable to that.
Eliminating your main source of paid work sounds like a bad idea, if you like to eat that is.
I had no idea Apple advertises on behalf of Spotify. Thanks for this. Do you have any examples?
Navigating this challenge involves the ever-changing boundaries of billing. Initially, you build a monthly billing system, only to find that your team requires a yearly one, which seems relatively straightforward. However, complications arise when you introduce usage-based billing, incorporating weighted values akin to storage, layered on top of a quarterly plan. This complexity is further exacerbated when custom billing structures are needed for negotiated contracts, adding another layer of intricacy to the mix.

Forest study in China finds mix of trees can absorb twice as much carbon as areas with one species

More than 60 scientists from China, Switzerland and Germany were involved in the research, testing a hypothesis based on observations in the field.

“The study shows that forests are not all the same when it comes to climate protection – monocultures achieve not even half of the desired ecosystem service,” Schmid said. “The full level of mitigation of global warming can only be achieved with a mix of species. In addition, species-rich forests also contribute towards protecting the world’s threatened biodiversity.”

Such forests were also less vulnerable to disease and extreme weather events, which are becoming increasingly frequent as a result of climate change, Schmid said.
Something to keep in mind that I do not believe anyone else has mentioned is that the F-35 was built in several variations to serve different branches of the military in roughly similar configurations. The Navy and Air Force can both successfully operate and maintain the aircraft as older planes are decommissioned, and eliminates the need for other aircraft to be developed to serve the specific use cases of the various branches of the U.S. military.

It makes maintenance far easier and over the long run results in significantly reduced costs.
> But I simply never see any discussion or usage of the low-level queue features offered by the language...

Assuming we're talking about something that serves requests over the network, it rarely makes sense to define or use queues within the program itself. The network stack already contains many layers of queues which will almost always manage load concerns (e.g. throttling, backpressure, etc.) more effectively than your application can do itself. In general you want your app to accept and process requests as fast as it can, and leave queueing concerns to other authorities.
I doubt 1 to 1 cloning an actors voice without their consent to replace them is even a threat to actors as they have such an easy recourse. I see the future much more in actors that aren't modeled on anyone specifically. That would be a big cost saver for studios imo
