> So where is Twitch making real money in that? If you're telling me through subs and bits, you're out of your mind, because that's peanuts compared to what those gals are getting from their OnlyFans, merch, other donation platforms, etc.

I don't really understand this logic. The fact that they make more money somewhere else means that they should have to somehow give that money to Twitch as well? If Twitch isn't set up to be able to make a profit from subs and bits, that sounds like an issue with their business model, and they should find a better way to monetize users on their site. From some very basic searching, it looks like there are NBA, MLB, and NFL players who stream on Twitch, as well as professional musicians and actors, and I imagine most of them aren't making the majority of their income on Twitch either, so should Twitch be trying to get a cut of their product endorsement deals and other sources of income that come from being famous?

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong that that Twitch is losing money on them, but I don't really see how that's something specific to one type of streamer. If the issue is the ratio of subscribers/donations to the number of people watching those streams, why not just make policies about that specifically, like putting limits on how frequently someone can stream after a certain number of hours without having a certain amount of revenue either via subs/donations or showing ads? I think they'd make much more effective strides towards profitability focusing on stuff like that.
>Can people really hear the difference between wired and unwired headphones?

Personally: Yes. Absolutely.

Even if I'm listening to just MP3s instead of FLACs, I can immediately notice that the wired headphone connection is better than wireless in both quality and latency. It's easy to compare since the headphones I use when travelling can do both, and I've used both as practicality demands.

The best wireless has to offer still can't hold a candle to good old wired.
Its fairly correct. Theres no Open Source database of internet comments, websites, most pop art styles, troubleshooting detail, coding Q&A.

Which is why any sane country would extend fair use to all of these things no questions asked, short of 1:1 replication.

Yankistan however is not a sane country and I am expecting the outcome to these legal tests to be absolutely bonkers.

>But they make money

Yes, so does the guy who takes 20 public domain stories, publishes it as a collection on google books and sells it to me for 1 dollar. People act as if their models aren't hugely backed by human labor, labor that is hugely transformative and commands a decent reward.

> forces a nose down and they cant fight the controls.

But that's not what happened. According to every report, it is possible to take back control, it's just very much not intuitive and the situation was confusing.

According to the Seattle Times

> However on both accident flights, the angle-of-attack sensor failure set off multiple alerts causing distraction and confusion from the moment of takeoff, even before MCAS kicked in.

> On the Ethiopian Airlines flight, for example, a “stick shaker” noisily vibrated the pilot’s control column throughout the flight, warning the plane was in danger of a stall, which it wasn’t; a computerized voice repeating a loud “Don’t sink!” warned that the jet was too close to the ground; a “clacker” making a very loud clicking sound signaled the jet was going too fast; and multiple warning lights told the crew that the speed, altitude and other readings on their instruments were unreliable.

You can find some of the US reports complaining about MCAS here https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/5766398/ASRS-Reports-... and it includes

> I manually positioned the thrust levers ASAP. This resolved the
threat

Then there's

autopilot on departure. Autopilot was disconnected and flight continued to
destination

> I called "descending" just prior to the GPWS sounding "don't sink, don't
sink." The Captain immediately disconnected the autopilot and pitched into a climb

Another

Autopilot. As I was returning to my PFD (Primary Flight Display) PM (Pilot

DONT SINK!"
I immediately disconnected AP (Autopilot) (it WAS engaged as we got full horn
etc.) and resumed climb

Ok, so WASM was designed to be a more low-level interface to V8. This makes sense from a technical PoV and from promotion-driven culture at Google. But it doesn’t originate from any real-world problem, just a hammer looking for a nail.
> If it's true and they cracked it, it would mean the final major way Chinese residents can share information outside of government control is gone.

Airdrop was the final way? That sounds unlikely. With iPhone marketshare in China at like 20% I would be surprised if it was even the current primary way, let alone the only way.
Initially the Linux drivers and wireless stack were pretty rough too, I think OpenBSD had the first open support that worked well especially for running in AP mode.
> Actually, you do, as the placebo effect is very strong for depression.

Is it an 80% reduction in symptoms?

The trip may very well be an essential part of the experience. Giving it during anesthesia would be very different.

Psychedelics just aren’t amenable to placebo controls. That doesn’t mean throw the whole science out, you just need to… control for that. You could have a non-placebo control of similar effort (talk therapy?) to control for drop outs. You could have alternative therapy as baseline.
great examples—that makes a lot of sense
Seems like it.

This is a really interesting article for anyone interested in error correcting codes.

My TL;DR is that there are some codes that are able to reconstruct data with a fixed number of queries (i.e., limiting the fan out of reads for reconstruction). There are two types of these, locally correctable and locally decodable codes. Locally decodable codes allow reconstructing any part of the original message with a fixed number of reads, while locally correctable codes allow reconstructing parts of the code words in the same way.

In particular, the article discusses two query and three queries. The best known algorithms in the past for both of these (two and three queries) for either locally correctable codes or locally decodable codes was the Reed-Muller code, however these codes are exponential in length wrt the length of the original message. In 2003 it was found that it's not possible to do better for two queries than Reed-Muller codes, but in ~2009, Yekhanin and Efremenko independently discovered algorithms that allow for locally decodable three query codes shorter than this (though not linear in length, I think).

Now, it's been shown that there are no locally correctable three query codes that are better than Reed-Muller in length, using a technique based on satisfiability.
I use Firefox with the NoScript addon and google.com still works just fine.
During this past Christmas Twitch "meta" I could not even link clips to friends because it would bring up "related" popular clips of what was basically soft core porn. It goes beyond what we want to watch. It affects how I can use and interact with the service to other people.
> Well, to be clear, such videos are not “banned,”

They're "banned" on youtube, which many people would argue is a monopoly. Certainly banning specific types of content on the largest and most popular video platform will have a massive impact on how many people will ever see that kind of content

I don't think it's unreasonable to raise concerns about censorship on platforms that have a disproportionate impact on what most people will or won't see.
Always great to see indie hackers content.

Since Channing mentions interstitial journaling, I want to share my interstitial journaling app called Interstitch at https://Interstitch.app

I shared it here on HN and PH and got 2 upvotes and zero people checking it out. But I realized half the problem is most people don’t know what interstitial journaling is. Many people understandly confuse it for a journaling app. But it’s closer to a time tracking app but more for individual performance than invoicing. But I assumed I was the only person who finds this useful, which was ok since I’ve been using it to set “deep work” daily goals and summarize how I spent my week so at least I use it.

Then the CEO of Medium somehow sees the HN post and emails me that he coined the term, but I probably heard it from Ness Labs founder that Channing links to. So then I email her and she adds me to her newsletter which has like 100k subscribers and about 100 people are now using it which is cool. Good lesson in reaching the right audience.
OK I'll bite.

Touchscreen or app control

Why does it need a touchscreen? Like cars, a physical knob and buttons are just fine. Why would I ever want to take out... Oh wait want to go back to another room to find my phone first... To then use the app to do what one or two turns of a knob and a button can do that are right in front of me the whole time?

Notifies me thru the app when a wash/dry is complete (my appliance is in a utility room, so this is really useful)

Fair enough if you can not actually hear it from where you are. Not happened to me ever even with being upstairs and the thing in the basement but fair.

Predicts when it will finish (and showing the time and which stage it’s on in the app)

Personally I couldn't care less about any of that information. Beep when it's done and even then I'll probably not go and do something about it right away since I'll be in the middle of a meeting anyway.

Monitors its own progress and will inform me if it needs more time (like if the drying needs longer due to increased load size)

Who cares? Don't tell me when you aren't done. While it's working it's working. Tell me when it's done. Also see above.

Allows pausing a wash so other items can be added

Which a button on the front can't do?

Has detergent dispensers that are monitored and lets me know when they’re low. It also works out the right amount of detergent to use based on size of load and other info you give it (see next item)

Fair enough. The notification should be an LED on the front though coz I need to be there to refill anyway and the new detergent is parked right next to it too. Also: How does it figure out that this is a heavy duty cycle of muddy rugby shirts?

Has a ‘washing assistant’ which is like an ‘install wizard’ where I select the types of clothing in the drum, its level of soiling, whether I want it dried or not, and various other features - it takes all that and works out the correct programme for the items (I can do this from my phone too - which is actually more useful than it sounds!).

Ah like that. Like turning the knob on "heavily soiled" instead of running me through a 17 step wizard?

When the cycle is complete and it’s waiting for you to empty it, it goes into a ‘slow turn’ mode, where it just turns the clothing over every 5 seconds or so to stop creasing.

Fair enough but what does have to do with the new "smart device craze"? Washers have had fuzzy logic (think one of the original machine learning algorithms - or in new fangled "AI") to make sure your washer doesn't tip over while spinning. Miele might have invented that for all I know. And yes this is old stuff. That's literally how the prof introduced fuzzy logic to us in the lecture. And I'm old.

Notifies me when I should run the maintenance cycles to keep the machine clean

Which an LED on the machine couldn't do?

Notifies me when it needs a software update, which I can manage from my phone.

Which... Should be needed exactly never. If it wants to do this more than 0 times during me owning it I know what I'll be chucking out soon/never buying again.
Love Tornado and use them for everything backend at 99.co
Is it legally differentiated if they respond to the reporter?

Or is there some weird loophole of "We didn't take action because of your message. We just happened to patch the same vulnerability after you mentioned it. We are not aware of any penetrations, because we didn't notice your message"?
Am certainly not the dev you inherited the project from but I used to prefer an all gray palette too on projects that didn't afford me any design help.

This was because I'm colour blind (red green) and find it near impossible to keep track of what signal I may be sending using one of the other colours while I am likely oblivious to that colour even being used.

So I used to use an all gray palette as a placeholder till real designers who could properly see colours and understood significance of each could come in and "colour in" the UI.
Firebase is a shitshow. I say this as someone who really tried to like it and sadly built a project for a client using it.

Other than this security vuln, the issues vs. just using postgres are:

* It is more work! Despite being a backend as a service it is much less code to just write a simple API backend for your thing both in time to do it and time to learn how to do it. Think of Firebase as being on the abstraction level of Sinatra or express and you may as well just use those. Things like Firebase and Parse etc. are more complicated. For the same reason it is more complicate to walk to work with just your arms and no legs (even though there are fewer limbs to deal with and no backend!).

* Relational is king. Not being able to do joins really sucks. Yes you need to make async calls in a loop. NoSQL is premature optimisation.

* Lots of Googlization. This means lots of weird, hard to find out clickops configuration steps to get anything working. Probably why this security flaw existed(?).

* Emulator is flakey, so for local dev you need another cloud DB, and yes all that Googlized setup RSI inducing clickops.

* I reckon it is slower than postgres at the scale of starting a project. Traditional architecture are blitz fast on modern hardware and internet. Like playing a 90s game on your laptop.

* Apparently as you scale it gets pretty pricey.

The main thing is: it actually slows you down! The whole premise is this should speed you up.

> lest someone is able to break into the system and turn it on without you knowing

Allow users to set their own unique PINs that they have to type in to unlock the “oven on” command every time they use it.

Surely there has to be a tradeoff here where a user can be allowed to be a grown up and make their own decision. I mean, I have to click “I promise not to look at the giant screen on my dashboard while driving” every time I start my car.

And what’s the worst case? That my oven is on and wasting money? If it could be set to get so hot that it causes a fire then that’s a totally different issue.
snarky comment about karma and being rude

Anyway I find your original statement about people incurring PTSD as somehow justified an absolutely despicable point of view and everything you said after that is colored in that light for me.

You may be trying sarcasm here, but the "free speech absolutists" this argument was originally deployed against insisted such a right should not exist, and that freedom of speech meant the government should privatize social media and force platforms to publish content against their will, and make content moderation illegal.

However no one here is claiming Musk doesn't or shouldn't have the right to run Twitter (I still refuse to call it X and will die on this hill) however he likes, rather people are just pointing out that he's a hypocrite and an asshole.

Yes, it was a complicated part of the acquisition. Twitch owns a lot of hardware and has it in colos all over the place. There are some control plane components in AWS but those are relatively small.

For someone who's not in the industry, the Author has done a reasonable job.

I'd add a few things:

- Heat pumps have been around a while. In the southern US, there are lot of older HVAC techs with a negative perception of HPs based on problems with older technology. Older HPs had less of an ambient operating temperature range, in which case the emergency heat would activate, reducing savings.

- Re: fragmented markets, different states/cities/towns/municipalities have different rules, processes, procedures, etc.

- Re: the desire for drop-in installations, the construction permitting and inspection process is a big fat roadblock which is linked to the problem above.
Primes like the least interesting part of Amazon in terms of regulation. Their content base is pretty poor outside originals.

Prime needs regulation like Costco Petrol needs regulation. Video is a cool free bolt on to free shipping with its own bolt ons.

Amazon is scary for retail and cloud computing. Maybe start there.
I was an Alfred user until this year. I finally made the jump to Raycast.

The comparative ease of writing “tiny tools” for Raycast in a scripting language takes far less time than Alfred workflows. That and Raycast’s custom AI commands. So great.

Isn’t that similar to JS? My understanding was modern JS runtimes had something like this:

interpreted -> basic JIT -> fancy JIT

The interpreter gets you going fast. The basic JIT is extremely fast to compile but not the most performant. If the code can be JITed it quickly will be.

From there the engine can find hotspots or functions that get run a lot and use the fancy JIT on them in the background. That means the slow compile doesn’t block things but when the result can be swapped in performance can take a big jump.

At any point the engine can drop down to the interpreter if an assumption is violated (someone passes a string where they had always used numbers before) or a function is redefined.

It wouldn’t surprise me if something like that appeared as an option in Python over time to get the best of both worlds.

Especially since, to add items, you have to be physically at the machine.
Your explanation of twitch monetization (or costs?) was hard to understand:

>People choose what they want to watch on Twitch, which they have to pay as a portion of subscription costs to the channel.

Who is "they" here? Twitch paying the streamer (cost for twitch) or viewers (aka subscribers) paying the streamer (revenue for twitch)?

It often did not disambiguate, or did so in a way that was subtle and required effort on the readers part. To reuse your example, sentences like this seemed to be common:

"Joseph, James, and Joe were in the store. They punched James and could feel the crunching of teeth against their fist."

Who did the punching in that sentence? My first thought is that both Joseph and James punched Joe, because "they" is usually plural when you have a group present. A reader might be able to determine it from further context, but it takes more effort and pulls them out of the otherwise excellent story.

It probably didn't help matters that the protagonist (Dex?) did not explain they were without gender until somewhere around the 3rd chapter. By that point I just thought the authors native language wasn't English.

Wouldn't a 20 ms RTT mean 20 ms is swallowed by the Internet? As long as your 10 suggestions fit within the TCP receive window, you already have an active connection from the initial page load, so it's 1 RTT to get the data (you could put the images into data URIs so everything could be gathered in 1 fetch, right?). I'd expect the UI update to set a list of 10 items should also take way less time than a single frame. The 200 ms search seems impressive without me knowing much about what it needs to do, but the UI portion seems trivial?
These are just some of the lies that anyone in a position to make money exploiting people tells themselves, talk to any drug dealer, you'll get similar answers. We all do it to some extent though, the developer creating a heinous subscription cancel flow, the designer making bail bonds ads. You build walls and look the other way. Every one of these actions forces you to give up some of your empathy for the individuals you exploit, the scale at which most execs operate is just mind boggling in comparison.
Rust-the-language, maybe—but Rust-the-ecosystem makes heavy use of magic crates like `thiserror` and `anyhow`. I’m not saying it’s a better or worse philosophy, but it’s certainly a different philosophy.
