I saw some hysterical Twitter thread a couple days ago claiming that the end of AAA games was nigh. There are some weird vibes out there.

It's absolutely true that there have been a ton of layoffs in the past ~12 months. But I've seen zero evidence of actual sales slowing down. 2023 saw a ton of big hits, from Zelda to Diablo to Baldur's Gate.
Not to mention that's 128GB for a single GPU. No need to shard or split.
My MIL has one and loves it. It even plays Live Photos.

There are multiple apps that will keep your iCloud Photos synced to various blob storage services. If you just want to maintain a copy or have direct access to photos, that will be a lot easier than a webservice API anyway.
Perhaps a good starting point is spending a few minutes investigating how bitcoin works, perhaps with ChatGPT as a resource. You should attempt to understand it before forming an opinion and asking leading questions.

Bitcoin uses a UTXO model, a recipient address is specified for the remaining funds that are not intended to be spent. Similar to how you pay for a $20 item with a $50 note, you (recipient) receive $30 in change.
Trading in derivatives still affects the price of the underlying asset. Sellers of BTC futures contracts are hedged by holding BTC.
In the immortal words of George Carlin: "It's a big club, and you ain’t in it."
To some extent that's just how bitcoin works [1]

To your last question, bitcoin is just digital gold. Unlike ethereum which is inflationary.

Thank you. Is it a technical term used in marketing?

Plenty of people also criticize behavioral economics for being manipulative, especially if they don’t agree with the behavior to be “corrected”
It probably wouldn’t cost $199 with a capable chip and the battery to go with that.

Actually the only device with such features is a recent smartphone. Wouldn’t this be better as an app?
I was looking to see if someone had posted this, as it was what I immediately thought of when I saw the title. Lovely video, wild to think it's been that long since it's release.

It's like the old joke about how you ID aircraft from the 50s to the 70s:

- If it's ugly, it's British.

- If it's weird, it's French.

- If it's ugly AND weird, it's Russian.
What do you call giving government officials lots of money to take anticompetitive actions that personally benefit you that they would otherwise never do and also have a clear conflict of interest with the purpose of their elected position?
Tangent on your tangent: I always find it awkward that people name the Wright brothers as the inventors of the airplane, and keep forgetting Otto Lilienthal.

The Wright brothers engineered a control system, that’s nice and all, but pretty boring, iterative work. Lilienthal studied birds, wrote the book on how wings work, produced the first airplanes and was the first person to make well-documented, repeated, successful flights with gliders. In my view these were much more difficult steps and much more important work.

Lilienthals life is super interesting, but even his namesake museum in his hometown of Anklam is rather pitiful.

It isn't impossible, it's just lacking the casual convenience of webscale infringement.

Can't cut into those potential margins after all.

> A number of transactions looked enormous but turned out to be some form of washing e.g address X sends $100MM worth of bitcoin to two addresses, with ~$1k going to address Y and the rest going right back to address X.

Bitcoin is based on the UTXO model, and requires the full amount of an input to be sent. For example, I might need to transact 20 bitcoin even if I only need to pay 1 bitcoin, with 19 bitcoin being transacted to a "change" address.

More by googling Bitcoin change addresses:

A system to allow my likeness to be used by generative AI sounds like the opposite of what I'd want if I was an actor.

Sure if I was totally mercenary I'd probably take a pile of cash to have some AI put my likeness in slop like Fortnite but actors want to act, they work in hard at their craft to give the best performance they can, not to be the feedstock for an AI model.
Hence the implied "something with the business is fundamentally wrong".
This was a really neat read! It's fun to speedrun the experience of "I've never thought about this" => "There's a structure to map out here" => "I wonder how this is solved in general?" => the nitty gritties of hashing out a solution. Thanks for sharing!
If someone buying into the bitcoin ETF takes away the same transaction from Coinbase then the net result is the same.
The most expensive configuration I can find for that size (111 sq m) is 327,000 GBP on the cost estimator: https://www.wikihouse.cc/cost

Maybe you put in 1200 sq m instead of converting from sq ft?
1. I think the infrastructure costs is probably more than you think. It’s probably the single biggest line item. They have to encode every video stream to multiple formats, and then deliver it globally.

2. The core product is pretty mature.

3. Elon raised the bar for how large of a staff cut you can make.

4. Most of their revenue is split with content creators.

5. They lost their CEO about a year ago. New guy has to make his mark.
1600 ish down to 1100. That's a big percentage cut, but not a big number cut.

I'm surprised they're not just letting natural attrition run its course.
This is pretty much what everyone saw coming when LLM became a reality: that is, eliminating the usual human-machine interface because now the machine can understand what we say and instructing it through keypresses and clicks becomes unnecessary.
In a few years everyone will carry a device like this one, and "call Jim, the one I met the other day, not my brother" or "start writing an email to all my associates" etc. will become a reality, and visual interfaces will be relegated to contexts where we actually want visual interaction, such as photos, movies, games, etc.
All cool, but unfortunately there's a catch: a device that can run AI locally and connect to the Internet without depending on a proprietary cloud, as of today can't fit in a pocket and can't cost $199, therefore it will depend on services that will have a cost in money and privacy.
Also, since this is looks like nothing more than an audio/video interface to a remote cloud AI, everything it does can be replicated on a smartphone app.
Did they have a hiring spree during the pandemic like all the other tech companies and now returning to the mean?

What you are likely looking at is not fraudulent and is a characteristic of bitcoin's UTXO design in almost every transaction that doesn't deplete a wallet. If it didn't send the remaining BTC to itself, it would be the "mining fee". So you see these transactions where you see the remaining change is sent back to the same wallet.

That must be one of the worst predictions I have ever seen with dude predicting Iceland will reach population of four hundred thousand by 2050. It reached that in sixteen years, when the dude predicted in 2008, that it will take 42 years to reach population of four hundred thousand. Looking at the recent population increase trends in Iceland with ten thousand population increase in one year, that is massive for tiny country like Iceland with tiny population. I could personally predict, that Iceland reach population of 500 thousand in 2035 and 600 thousand before 2050, if it keeps its population increase trend of ten thousand new people per year.
Korea has a philosophy of local conglomerates first and foreign companies only existing if they prop the local conglomerate up.

It's a very good strategy as the Korean market is lucrative and the Korean companies have opportunities to spread worldwide. (they just suck at it)

Twitch got sent a foreigner-tax and didn't pay it, that's all. Korea already has a thriving version of Twitch called AfreecaTV. (edit: Oh it's not that thriving on their international site, maybe Korean site is better.)
Funny thing that the keynote only demoed “Confirm” and never “Correct”/“Change this”, etc.
We use a short domain for QR codes to stop them getting overly complex.
It can affect it quite a lot, I think if things like Twitch Rivals, competitions etc etc are dropped or downsized.
How do you counter the argument by restating a premise of their argument? Are you implying Twitch is profitable because I'm pretty sure it is not.
Weird to see layoffs at the beginning of the year, when fresh budgets and plans are availiable. Then again, since this is happening this early, this is probably a 2023 decision.
The government agency issues a press release, then the newspaper journalist writes an article based on that and other information.

Cryptocurrency, when used as intended, is pretty boring. Send funds from A to B. Done. yawn. You won't see headlines about it. The news that make it to your eyeballs are always sensational: fraud, crime, scams, etc. So if your exposure to crypto is only through the media, as opposed to actually using it yourself, it is logical for you to associate crypto with fraud.
I think the interesting bit here is actually the teachable mode (19:30 in the vid): https://youtu.be/22wlLy7hKP4?t=1174

there are tools that exist that teach agents what to do, but the ability to have them on command and return a nice little summary in a neat UI is actually kind of compelling. It also feeds the company routine information to fine tune agents and maybe results in a dev ecosystem of some kind? need to learn more about how the system prevents some of the concerns hear like taking undesirable actions on your behalf
Necessary but not sufficient.

Also, don't confuse empathy and sympathy - you need to extinguish the latter, but the former is incredibly important to your ability to play suckers.
The worst part about that is that the ChatGPT answers are indexed by Google and can appear as featured snippets. I've seen some cases where this can end up showcasing an inept or downright nonsensical generated answer on SERPs.
> There need to be very clear laws about how social media and modern tech is used to present information.

What laws? “There should be laws about X” is a bunch of words with no substance unless you can say what the laws should, at least in general terms, require and/or prohibit.

> Hell for the first time the government should have the ability to directly release information and not be reliant on normal privately owned distribution

The government is able to do so, and has done for... quite a long time, though until recently wide distribution was a problem. Now, you can get information directly from the websites of most government agencies.

They also release information via private conventional media (via several mechanisms) and social media (via government run accounts), but they aren't exclusively reliant on such media.

I've been using FastAPI which is made by the same guy as Flask but taking it seriously this time and using asyncio and making space for multithreaded. It's almost a drop-in replacement for Flask.
I feel like the R1 is getting a lot of weird hate here on HN. I get it, it's a bit pretentious and wants to be very Apple-like, yadda yadda. Probably not that much value generation, it's overpriced, and no one wants to carry another thing in their pocket. And yes, the company will likely go bankrupt (or pivot into something less exciting). It's also all in the cloud (no local inference) so it doesn't really even "do" that much. But seriously: this is (or should be) the future of computing. The fact that things like OS self-organization, system-wide (+cloud) search, basic automation, etc. is so broken on modern operating systems is just plain bizarre.

For example, if I wanted to do a simple find-and-replace on my 2021 M1, I'd have to use something like grep (a tool originally written by Ken Thompson in 1973—a half century before my laptop was built) and look up flags and syntax I inevitably constantly forget. We should have been past this at least 15 years ago.
https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2023/an-update...

"We continue to be committed to keeping people safe and secure on Twitter, and a primary security tool we offer to keep your account secure is two-factor authentication (2FA). Instead of only entering a password to log in, 2FA requires you to also enter a code or use a security key. This additional step helps make sure that you, and only you, can access your account. To date, we have offered three methods of 2FA: text message, authentication app, and security key.

While historically a popular form of 2FA, unfortunately we have seen phone-number based 2FA be used - and abused - by bad actors. So starting today, we will no longer allow accounts to enroll in the text message/SMS method of 2FA unless they are Twitter Blue subscribers. The availability of text message 2FA for Twitter Blue may vary by country and carrier.

Non-Twitter Blue subscribers that are already enrolled will have 30 days to disable this method and enroll in another. After 20 March 2023, we will no longer permit non-Twitter Blue subscribers to use text messages as a 2FA method. At that time, accounts with text message 2FA still enabled will have it disabled. Disabling text message 2FA does not automatically disassociate your phone number from your Twitter account. If you would like to do so, instructions to update your account phone number are available on our Help Center.

We encourage non-Twitter Blue subscribers to consider using an authentication app or security key method instead. These methods require you to have physical possession of the authentication method and are a great way to ensure your account is secure."

Is TikTok even "Web"? I bet 99% of its userbase have never used it on the Web.
VP of DeepFlow here. Thank you for your interest in DeepFlow!

Yes, we have implemented distributed tracing using eBPF. In simple terms, we use thread-id, coroutine-id, and tcp-seq to automatically correlate all spans. Most importantly, we use eBPF to calculate a syscall-trace-id (without the need to propagate it between upstream and downstream), enabling automatic correlation of a service's ingress and egress requests. For more details, you can refer to our paper presented at SIGCOMM'23: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3603269.3604823.

Of course, this kind of Zero Code distributed tracing currently has some limitations. For specific details, please see: https://deepflow.io/docs/features/distributed-tracing/auto-t...

These limitations are not entirely insurmountable. We are actively working on resolving them and continually making breakthroughs.
No, you are confusing file retrieval with file recovery. The reconstruction only needs to happen if some form corruption is detected (typically in the case of a bad/dead disk).
> In a few years everyone will carry a device like this one, and ...

Yes, but that device is a smartphone. I can't see a future in which standalone devices that are simply ChatGPT API shells are actually viable, unless they add some significant capabilities that a phone app or built-in phone assistant doesn't have.

There are tons of successful hardware startups in recent history.

You just don't hear about them because they're not selling to you. They make business, commercial, and industrial hardware.

Consumer hardware is very hard because consumers are extremely demanding of hardware. Just look at how difficult it is to convince people to spend even $5-10 on useful software or sign up for a $100/year SaaS product with near zero marginal cost per customer. Consumers are really hard to please and consumer price points are difficult to serve.

OpenVPN and WireGuard server on GitHub Actions: representative NAT traversal
It's not possible to run server software on GitHub Actions using regular methods: the worker virtual machine is placed behind Network Address Translation (NAT), which prevents it from receiving direct inbound TCP/UDP connections.

This repository consists of GitHub Actions jobs for OpenVPN and WireGuard VPN servers which traverse NAT, making possible to establish VPN connection to the Actions worker machine directly, without any additional tunnel, third-party service, or port forwarding software.

This is a step-by-step, thoroughly documented practical UDP NAT traversal showcase using GitHub Actions with OpenVPN/WireGuard servers as an example, with only stock software from Ubuntu repositories.
Why wait? It's been 15 years of Bitcoin outperforming every other asset. Nobody has found an exploit making the tech worthless, nor have competitors stolen its market share. Bitcoin is here to stay and the only ones shouting at it are too stubborn to ever admit it has value.
Its modern jargon that refers to multinational, corporate focused, globalized markets. Its gone through a few definitions over the last century, but most recently its been used by the anti-work movement to deride a culture that has all but abandoned individual people in favor of the ultra wealthy. A culture where greed and money are the only virtues and all choices are driven by the bottom line.

Jokes on them, that's how its always been.
It's always been that way. My favourite example is the nightly financial report, where they will invariably say "the market did [something] today because of X". Very occasionally, like on 9/11, they will be right. But most of the time, it's near impossible to say why they market moved the way it did. They are just authoritatively babbling plausible sounding bullshit. The amazing thing for me is for decades I believed them.

They don't just do it there of course. Another thing people describe is to read a mass media report on some event you attended, and not recognise it. I didn't realise how true that was until it happened to me. It was a report in by time.com of an event I attended in my local city. The report was all true, but it focused on a 10 person street protest. They were doing it because 1 million other people were attending the event, almost all of which were blithely unaware of the presence of those 10 people. It was a complete irrelevancy, yet it was probably the only words a fair chunk of the world's population got to read about the event.

This was all decades ago. Today, surprise surprise, people write and say anything to get your attention, so they can display a ad and make money from you. Nothing has changed. Not even the motivations.

The key philosophical difference is that in Gerrit you are proposing a specific change, where in GitHub you are proposing a branch be merged.

It's a very subtle distinction, but having worked on OpenStack in the past, I much prefer the Gerrit model. Patch revisions are much easier to track over time than pushes to a PR branch during review.
How do you know the LLM is going to do what you confirmed?

There's a fundamental tension here: either you limit the LLM to a set of fixed actions that a user can individually understand and confirm. Or you let it figure out what to do and how to do it given a higher-level goal.

In the first case, it's limited and not really better than a well-designed site or app. In the second it's powerful but can run amok.

E.g., did it really fill out that four page order form for that e-bike you asked it to order? Maybe it uses the debit card instead of your credit card and your checking account is overdrawn. Maybe it sets the delivery address to your brother's address. Maybe it orders two bikes or 10 or the wrong model or wrong size.

OR

It asks/confirms each step of the way so there's little chance for mistakes.

This is an inherent problem with any kind of delegation. You either micro manage the details or trust your agent to get them right.

I don't know exactly how Backblaze does it, but in the normal case, reconstruction is not computationally expensive because the 17 data shards are just pieces of the original file that can be served directly to users.

It's only when a data shard is lost that computation is necessary to regenerate it using the parity shards.
Which is strange considering how bad the tooling to use Python on Windows is. There's a few workflows where people have gone down the beaten path before (Conda, etc.), but outside of that you have to just pretend you're on Linux and use the cygwin toolchains and even that doesn't always work so well. Better support on Linux was a top 5 reason for me making the switch to using it full time when I went off to college, and it hasn't changed substantially in the 8 years since then.
