I've never worked at Twitch, but I have experimented with P2P video delivery, and the TL;DR from my experiments is that real-time video delivery can not easily provide a consistent, low latency experience, and video experience problems amplify quite quickly. I wrote up a fair bit about this in the comments of a different HN post a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=33070218
The hardware looks cool as can be; I have total faith in Teenage Engineering, and no faith in this other random startup's cloud AI (especially since we're in an AI hype bubble and their funding is going to run out at some point)
Well, to be clear, such videos are not “banned,” but merely not within the scope of the coherent speech product YouTube seeks to produce. This is, of course, their right single the platform belongs to them.

You can make such videos all day long, but you would have to deliver them yourself, which is consistent with how free speech works in America.
but until space we have a finite amount of gold. Current known gold mines will be mined out at around 2030 and there is about 30 - 100k tons of gold left in unexploited gold.

Current gold reserves by country:
United States: 8,133 tons
Germany: 3,359 tons
Italy: 2,452 tons
France: 2,436 tons
Russia: 2,299 tons
China: 1,948 tons
Switzerland: 1,040 tons
Japan: 846 tons
India: 754 tons
Netherlands: 612 tons

Around 30% of known gold in the earths crust is accounted for. Nations included in the "BRICS Meme" have been purchasing large amount of gold and would like to see us return to a gold standard for monetary and policy reasons.

Bitcoin futures are correlated but nowhere near a 1:1 proxy for spot markets. Crypto markets are known for very steep "contango" in the curve, and it's not unusual for the price of the 30 days futures to be more than $1000 away from the current Bitcoin price.

The issue isn't just additional volatility and tracking error, but the fact that the con tango creates a "roll yield" which affects the long-term returns of the strategy. To keep constant maturity exposure, the futures ETF has to constantly "roll" its positions into further dated contracts. In particular because the market tends to be in contango it means further dated futures tend to be higher priced than near dated futures. So usually the futures ETFs in their daily rebalancing are selling cheap near dated contracts for more expensive longer dated contracts. Hence the roll yield tends to be negative. Then add all the transaction costs from daily rebalancing. It should be clear why the futures strategy has inferior returns to simply holding spot.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs truly are a game changer compared to futures ETFSs.

If you don't know how a certain algorithm works at a high level you can ask ChatGPT to explain it. For example, if you not sure what OAuth is or how to implement it that would probably be something ChatGPT could explain to you and if there's anything that confuses you you can can ask followup questions.

I find it sucks for code in most scenarios I need, but it's useful as a kind of knowledge base / tutor.

now that would be something. imagine future washing instructions on your clothes label stating which version of a wash cycle is required.

on the other hand, some way to tell the washing machine what clothes are inside by letting it scan the labels so that it can automatically pick the right cycle, now that would be useful.
BLE is basically designed to work that way, so it’s very easy.

They do give streamers a button to run an ad break, but they force ads on you if you don't run them often enough. That is very common for many streamers, because the ad breaks hit a large fraction of your viewers and it sort of kills the conversation for everyone.

healthcare workers during the pandemic come to mind.
I agree with your main point, but I want to clarify that OpenAI never promised open source. This is a pernicious misunderstanding that OpenAI has been all too happy to leave uncorrected. Open source was never part of the mission, and I can't find any place where OpenAI leadership has implied that it is or will be.

From 2016:

> They’d raised a billion dollars and hired an impressive team of thirty researchers—but what for? “There are twenty to thirty people in the field, including Nick Bostrom and the Wikipedia article,” Amodei said, “who are saying that the goal of OpenAI is to build a friendly A.I. and then release its source code into the world.”

> “We don’t plan to release all of our source code,” Altman said. “But let’s please not try to correct that. That usually only makes it worse.”

> Live streaming 1080p 60fps video to a channel with even just a few hundred viewers

I've been in streams with less than 100 viewers and seen hundreds of dollars in bits & gifted subs being spent in a single hype train. Are those really unprofitable for Twitch?
> why doesn’t an Amazon prime subscription remove ads? Is there even a way to buy an ad-free experience?

First of all, an Amazon Prime subscription soon won't even remove ads from Amazon Video, so why would it be any different for Twitch?

Second of all, a channel subscription (through Amazon Prime or otherwise) removes ads from that channel. If you want an ad free experience across the whole site, Twitch Turbo is $11.99 USD.
These don’t support an iCloud album do they, only photo uploading over WiFi?
It's more similar than you might think. The big problem is dealing with the bursty nature of live video -- lots of people will start watching a live event at the same time, which can easily trip you over into expensive bandwidth tier for the peak streams. You need to be able to react in real time and reallocate connections to cheaper providers, shape traffic, use peering arrangements, etc. Static video providers have the luxury of time, and can make these decisions slowly.

I forget the exact numbers, but it wasn't totally uncommon for early JTV to burn tens of thousands of dollars on a single stream before we got it under control. Someone starts a stream of a soccer game involving (say) Turkey, and it was like lighting money on fire. The whole event might be over before you could flag the thing down.

But like any other form of video, most streams get no viewers, and are relatively cheap to host when you have a scaled infrastructure.

How are pilots expected to disable a malfunctioning MCAS in an emergency, and balance manually by trial and error the aerodynamic extravagances of the angle of attack of such unbalanced aircraft in the middle of procedures?

The user of the parent comment is remarking about time.

The aircraft can be certified without MCAS?

By what I read, MCAS is there for to avoid entering into an aerodynamic stall when the aircraft is approaching a high angle of attack, due it's using larger motors for what classical 737 was designed for. It's balancing an unbalanced aircraft using software to repeatedly adjust the horizontal stabilizer.

It is not my field, but I'm not even sure if it should be called to trim, it sounds like a euphemism for what's going on.

PWAs don't have one of the major downsides of Electron, which is bloat - you don't have to package the huge runtime yourself.

That aside, sure, I'll always take a native app if I can have it. But providing native apps across all major desktop and mobile platforms is a lot of effort, especially for small businesses and hobbyists. In that case, a PWA is vastly better than nothing at all, or a native app for one particular platform that just happens to be the one you don't use.
Because the top twitch streamers earn a decent living, whereas TikTok creators are paid (basically) nothing.
Several years ago I cobbled together all the pieces to make a live video streaming website [1] like Twitch.tv, et al. It's impossible to actually run at any kind of scale without being an ISP or Google-scale peer. Not to mention the enormous amount of DMCAs when people are trying to stream live sports, Pay-per-view, etc.

It was fun to play with it for a couple months. But there's no business here. Twitch.tv is also finding that out.

Twitch streamers get ad revenue sharing, afaik TikTok users don't?
Twitch pays out to creators 50-70% (some earn millions per year) TikTok pays essentially $0
TL;DR: more operation cost then it seems, limited AD income, many streamer on which they lose money, increasingly more competition with "unfair advantage" (second platform effect, YT/TickTock; unethical content Kik(gambling); unethical monetization strategies TickTock).

operating a reasonable reliable live streaming service is quite expensive and Twitch is not Amazone. Sure it's owned by it but it still has to buy all computation resources from Amazone, for similar prices then some of the competition like Kick (which deeply interwinded with gambling streams which are profitable but ethically and legally problematic and hence banned on Twitch)

and while they do take a cut this is only profitable if a streamer gets enough subs/bits etc.

but most streamers on twitch do not get that, but might still have people watching across two continents+. E.g. having less then 50 viewers but viewers across 2 continents with a stream earning less 1€ income (not profit) per-hour in average isn't that rare

So the "big streamers" would need to subvention the cost of Twitch being free for streamers, which isn't easy. That some people do use Twitch as a form of marketing platform to goat people on other platforms and then there earn money from then doesn't help (and given how little twitch does against that but often simply could I'm seriously wondering if there is some internal employee corruption scandal to be uncovered).

Then there is another issue Twitch has compared to YT, it ADs are worth way less. Actually often Twitch doesn't even get enough ADs bought out so that some people in some regions sometimes see no or hardly any ADs (no one bought any) or ADs repeat too often...

Lastly and maybe for some people surprisingly given how some tech channels love to blow up any small negative news about twitch it's trying to act "reasonable ethically", i.e. not "oh they are grate people ethically" but "they have limits on how evil they act which are more then the law requires" ethically. You can see this if you compare the usage of dark patterns and highly addictive feedback loops between Twitch and TickTock. The later maxes out everything they can wrt. dark patterns which have addictive effects (at least for vulnerable people) and obfuscate how much money you spend. While Twitch, well does not do so.

Oh and probably there was some mismanagement, not now but a few years ago.
This is an article about "S4" that uses "Structured State Spaces".

https://srush.github.io/annotated-s4/

The matrices that make up the state space (A, B and C) are constant in S4. This allowed them to represent some of the math operations as a convolution (which can be parallelized).

The difference between S4 and Mamba is that these matrices are input-dependent in Mamba. Plus they add in some CUDA stuff ("parallel scan") to make it faster to compute on a GPU even if these matrices are not constant.

Yannic Kilcher's video on Mamba might also be a good resource: https://youtu.be/9dSkvxS2EB0

1. That doesn't make any sense. You're not flying as some sort of recreational activity to pass the time. You're flying because you want to get from point a to point b. If you're making that journey, it makes sense to compare which method is the safest for the entire journey, not for 1 hour of it.

2. Even if we ignored the above, applying this adjustment doesn't change the conclusion that planes are safer than driving by a fair margin. The 737 MAX cruise at 521 mph. Cars top out at around 60mph. If we round that off to planes being 10x faster and normalize for that (ie. 10x the death rate), you still get 0.57 for a car vs <0.01 for a plane.

Hunter S. Thompson once spread a rumor of a presidential candidate’s drug addiction and it was taken seriously

“Not much has been written about the Ibogaine Effect as a serious factor in the presidential campaign,” Thompson wrote in an article he later claimed was never meant to be taken at face value. In it, he declares, “word leaked out that some of Muskie’s top advisers called in a Brazilian doctor who was said to be treating the candidate with ‘some kind of strange drug.”

One thing I don't understand is how targeted we can expect this to be.

I do worry that some treatments (both this and standard pharmaceutical products) could be doing things that truly change what we can measure in positive ways but also have different side effects that we don't measure. Could it be consistent with the data that potent psychedelic drugs banishes all prior strong feelings? If so, is that a good trade off in all situations?

It is a very different type of drug, and very anecdotal, but in a previous relationship I came to the conclusion while high on edibles I didn't truly love my girlfriend. Intense feelings (both good and bad) I had for many months disappeared and I became very indifferent to the idea we had a special connection. Perhaps if I had PTSD marijuana edibles would have been positive as they would have made my negative feelings towards my past closer to indifferent, but I'm always curious the boundaries of when then is good or bad.

For streamers with even a moderate following, they'll be in some status with Twitch to earn money off Twitch's ads. Don't recall if it's Affiliate or Partner or what, but the follower counts were surprisingly small to qualify for ad revenue.

Twitch pays out $3.50 per 1k ad views to those creators, so Twitch is paying for their content.

Tiktok has something that pays out to creators, but it's $0.20-$0.40 per 1k views and you need 10k subscribers to qualify (this seems much harder than Twitch's, which is in the hundreds iirc). It also looks like it was a one-time thing, where they set $300 million aside for that but I haven't seen any plans to continually fund it.
Sounds like actual risk matters little to you and you care far more about feelings of risk.
What about all the pirate websites? There's hundreds of them all around the world, some supported with ads, others with subscriptions. How do they manage the bandwidth problems?
They have more competition than ever with youtube streaming actually somewhat catching on and tiktok streams becoming more popular. It seems weird to cut so many engineers when it’s probably most important now to innovate. Its not even just R&D that’s important, either. Their product is worse in some aspects than their competitors and a lot of the reason why they’re still dominant in their space is just the community of users on the website.

They just didn't care the South Korean market enough. Many blame South Korea's sending party network fee, but the biggest competitor to Twitch in South Korea, namely AfreecaTV, has been fine operating in South Korea under the same network fee terms.

With search engines operated by advertising companies, or companies that profit from advertising. there is an incentive to actively prevent discovery and hide what is not profitable.

Search "too fast" on Google and draw a ban. Even when this is public information being searched; it does not belong to Google.

Facilitating discovery by web users is against Big Tech interests.

Big Tech will do the "discovery"; relax and consume what is presented. Want to go deep into results. Not so fast.

According to Big Tech, what's actually online is not your business. Only what Big Tech wants to show you matters.

What's actually online beyond this might be mostly garbage,^1 but the public is actively prevented from discovering that fact.

At least, they won't discover it via Big Tech intermediation.

Maybe it's not all garbage. But how would anyone know. The advertising company sits in the middle, controlling what can and cannot be discovered.

1. Not advertising garbage but another kind that has no utility for advertising.

Don't believe me. Read some zone files, starting with the com.zone. There are milllions of websites that have become all but impossible to discover via Big Tech intermediation of the web.
