The 5700G had for some time been one of the best options for budged gaming.

The 8700G should be seen as a successor of that I think.

Enough to play a huge amount of games nicely under 1080p.

But in a certain way at the lowest end of desktop gaming.

Still better then the low-mid range of gaming on a laptop, tho.

But for a lot of people that is exactly the right balance of what they get to what they pay. Weather that's because they don't have a lot money or they don't do a lot gaming and don't want to wast money.

The main "problem" the 8700G might run into is I guess that the cost of AM5 motherboards and RAM.

Also AMD (and I think Intel, too) have in recent years slowly worked to take advantage of integrated graphics even if you have also dedicated graphics (of the same vendor) if that sees some more improvements the 8700G could also become interesting in some use-case you wouldn't expect today. We will see.
Have they? That's not something I've encountered anywhere. I'm willing to entertain the possibility, but can you back that up with any evidence?
Rural Alaska seems rather a nice isolated place for a typical HN commenter...
I read RT and think, "this is how the Russian elite think / want me to think".

I read BBC and think, "this is how the British elite think / want me to think".

If they both agree on something mundane, like Chinese EV exports, then it's almost certainly fact-based journalism.

If they disagree significantly or use emotional appeals, I look for the primary evidence to better understand who is in the right.

Everyone consumes propaganda every day, but it takes work to see through it. It is a form of ideological cope to pretend that RT or CGTN has significantly more misinformation/propaganda than NYT or BBC, and therefore we ought to rely on the latter while totally ignoring the former.
I thought that is a cultural thing. Pretty weird to have it mandated by law. Do you know of any other countries that mandate it by law
What are you using it for? I never use GPT-4's output blindly, in fact I almost never copy paste output, but I find it fantastically useful.
I keep hearing that schools are teaching 'computational thought' and programming, but then I also hear that kids can't do math at anywhere near the expected level, can't read at their expected level, and have zero attention span. Either someone is lying or very wrong.
>JS compiles down to TS?

It's called a typo.

>I am not sure if anything in this comment indicates you have any experience with developing for the web but that is not my primary issue with this comment. My gripe is claiming that things are "awkward" or can't be done without even looking around. None of the examples below use WebGL

I think you're smart enough to recognize it's a typo. The primary issue with your comment is hiliteing issues as if it weren't typos but actual lapses in experience. It's like saying someone misspelled a word and claiming they therefore have no experience with the English language. If someone did that, the intent is 100% malice, not a misunderstanding. Don't be malicious. Don't debate and use malice to prove a point. What you should do is Make a point and change your stance based off of evidence.

Also I never said it can't be done. I said it's awkward. It certainly can be done.

WebGL is low level. Same with WebGPU, it means you have to use shaders. Godot has a library for UI. Which makes it less awkward. I'm saying it's JUST as awkward to build these things with webGL then with other web front end technologies.

>Here's a WinXP UI clone that runs in your browser with floating, resizable windows. - https://winxp.vercel.app/
>Here's one that mocks macOS - https://macos-web.app/

What do these examples prove? That it can be done? Did I say it can't be done? Again I didn't. It's obvious these examples exist, everyones seen them. Heck you can probably do the whole thing with CSS and no JS. The gist of my comment is that it's awkward to do, not that it can't be done. You can construct a house out of toothpicks and glue. I'm sure it CAN be done. But bricks are the less awkward tool.
Not me looking at my large book collection and pondering..
Which specific ruling? The DPAs of a couple of EU member countries, on "pay or okay"?

Are you talking about what online newspapers do in EU, US or where?
There is work to do in this world that offers no remuneration or very difficult paths to said remuneration.
Ask HN: HN Returning "Sorry."
Apologies in advanced if this is not the right venue. However in the past 24 hours I’ve been getting a 403 Forbidden response with the text “Sorry.” on HN. I’ve never seen this before. HN works fine from my phone. Is this an error on HN side or is some issue happening on my side.
Emphatically yes.
This happens to me pretty regularly when training ML models or running heavy simulations etc, the system is taxed and electron just gets swamped meanwhile more efficient apps can handle themselves just fine on the side.
I was in the same boat. Kind of annoying, but I just used my @gmail.com account to use the Pixel 2 watch.
and frankly the more poorly informed western elites try to protest and prevent extraction and distribution of western (i.e. Canada, USA) oil and gas, the more dependent we will all be on oil from places like Saudi and Russia.

people really don't get it.
This statistic ignores the stocks owned by pension funds on behalf of workers. Many government workers are still entitled to pensions.
often they have buyout clauses and such for this kind of termination. Its very common.

The cost of the contract being one cost, so when you think about cost of managing the contract and contracts etc. severing it via a payout can be cheaper, and is often sudden to the contractors unfortunately.
How to Find and Keep a Space Rock
Well, it does seem like at least coal is heading out the door.

If one spends $1B on Malware, how does that money get used? Seems like a lot of dev time...
Unity started as a game engine on macOS with monodevelop as the official IDE

I think you overestimate the number of game developers who depend on Microsoft's tools, game engine devs who target Xbox/PS5/Switch, sure, vendor tools require windows, but for 1 engine dev, you find 100 game devs

Besides, cross compilation is a solved issue nowadays, all it takes to target Linux, Windows, mobiles or console is a checkbox in Unity/Unreal/Godot

https://steamdb.info/tech/

This data speaks for itself

DirectX 12 wasn't a huge success, except for Xbox; wich sells 3x less than both PS5 / Switch [1], you don't see it anywhere else

Vulkan gets on on both Windows/Linux, but also Switch and Android, so if you are a small indie studio who work on your own engine, Vulkan makes a lot more sense

.. and even cloud gaming ;) https://www.phoronix.com/news/Amazon-Linux-Graphics-Jobs

I understand that every P-N junction emits radiation as a byproduct. I always thought that if we could observe the right part of the spectrum, it should be possible to "see" the transistors in a processor die light up as it computes. The fact that nobody's done this (that I'm aware of) probably means it's probably not practical.
Can someone explain this systemic hiring phenomena? A pandemic hits and every corporation thinks that's the time to hire and scale by gross multipliers? Why? Whose idea was this? How did it catch on everywhere?
I don't think micropayments can work, either.

What I meant, was that Scott McCloud was right, in the sense that ad supported content had some serious problems.
I find it suspicious that they would use user engagement and retention and none of the normal benchmarks to test their model.
I don't know if its implied, but I would say since we are now talking about it, the money raised from this could go to meaningfully increasing things like unemployment benefits, for example.
Because the legalities of chef/restaurant malpractice are orders of magnitude less important than those of doctor/anesthesiologist/hospital.
An avid motorcyclist is just somebody that motorcycles a lot, while their per mile chance of having an accedent might be lower, their overall chances are much higher.
This fact gives the whole story "Operation Mincemeat" vibes, tbh.
I'd like to see insurers be sued for malpractice since they feel entitled to make medical decisions for people.
One thing I find increasingly frustrating is reading an article where bits of it are plausible but the whole thing feels "off" and not being sure why. It's too verbose or vague. Was it AI generated? Someone working in a content farm? A non-specialist hired to write posts for SEO? A mixture of all of the above?

However, I don't think we've reached the end of the world yet, because if you just have the patience to learn what the reliable sources are, and the wherewithal to pay for a few of them, then you can ignore most of the junk, just as you can mostly ignore social media.

Also, y'know, books. Physical books. Public and university libraries. Yes some books age poorly or don't deserve to be published, but consider how many more checks most books go through before they end up on a shelf, including curation by librarians.
I have, but not for a use case where this matters.

FWIW, Google has been working on these fancy nonblocking networks for a very long time. They’re very proud of them. Maybe they don’t actually use them for GCP, but Google definitely cares about network performance for their own purposes.

conspiracy hat on

I wonder if he ain't dead and they faked his death incase his name ever got out (like this)
Fair point perhaps, but they seem like the only game in town that seem to care about their customers. They’re far from perfect, but to me they are better than the rest. I really want Apple to feel some heat and have worthy competitors, but I just don’t see that.
Thanks for sharing! Very cool.
Kid's game? Tiny Tina/Borderlands is a huge franchise in gaming. I think its clear these two games were chosen because the cell-shaded style they use is less GPU demanding, but its still impressive. But note things like Cyberpunk 2077 is there too. These are all popular games. I don't think its this dishonest ploy you're making out to be.

My 2070 barely handles those games at that fps.

Yes those are older games because this APU is not going to play modern AAA at 4k, but it can handle some pretty hefty games fairly well and might be tempting to budget gamers especially when mid-tier cards start at $500-600 nowadays.
All I saw was "you have 2 years to see who can be the most funny".
Once you get into a mindset of quality not mattering and only pushing down the costs there’s no coming back. Look a large retail brands and how disposable we treat things. They went from northeast to southern US to Mexico to China. The creation of the product will happen in the US for cultural reasons (you cannot outsource marketing generally), but it all hits a wall.
It is the former.

I have a workspace account that is my main email and such. With the Pixel 2 watch I had to use a @gmail.com account in order to use it. Not a huge deal, but annoying for sure.

Would be the same issue for someone who doesn't have an @gmail.com account at all. They would have to create one in order to use the Pixel 2 watch.
I did out of stubbornness and oppositional nature, and I kept doing it and advocating for myself and now there's much better cycling infrastructure than when I started. But I'm also not in Texas, where I think there's probably some additional ingrained hostility toward the social signaling associated with bikes.
I just deleted my discord account after realising I live on it way too much. I will miss the people I met there, but it was consuming my life
That's putting it mildly, re GE. When both Fortune and WSJ ("hardly bastions of anti-corporate sentiment", with apologies to _The Insider_) are criticizing your approach and leadership style, then you have an issue.

Not to mention Jack Welch's very "Let Them Eat Cake" attitude to the middle and working classes and executive compensation.
The funniest part: for several hours the video itself had comments enabled(before any outside media picked it up). The employees this was directed at felt very similarly to most of the comments on HN.
fyi, a separate account should not be necessary any more as the functionality got integrated into the regular version and is so available for all users by default.
> Clearly they are making non-trivial revenue

"Non-trivial" is a very low bar to clear. It's obvious that Discord simply does not need to be the scale it is. It doesn't need a billion dollars and it doesn't need a thousand employees. It's very clear that they only have the employees because the investors were stupid enough to give them that much money, and they need to find something to do with it.

Some products just do not need to be that big.
I didn't try it out, but usually I'm unhappy with Tailwind based libraries. It just doesn't really fit the concept of Tailwind to use it for a UX library. On one hand those libraries are just a handbook of HTML snippets to copy&paste. On the other hand many of them need some support library, that does some magic in the background that's hard to understand.

The only one I liked so far was shadcn, which is more like a code generator for creating Tailwind based React components.
It sounds like a recipe for ruining a product and turning a company into a dysfunctional organisation. Onboarding 800 idle people prepared to reverse linked-lists :-)
Dev snapshot: Godot 4.3 dev 2
For a number of reasons.

1. This wasn't just entire divisions. I've seen massive cuts on some teams and ticky-tack cuts elsewhere.

2. This was clearly coordinated above the VP level and could not have been just individual unilateral decisions by VPs who saw specific grad numbers coming through.

3. I've seen people who were not low performers get fired in this ticky-tack manner.

4. Nobody on my team was fired, but I sure as hell wasn't told "don't worry about expected distributions of low performers since we'll just cut from elsewhere."
I would argue Amazon is more diversified but bogged down by a low margin retail business
Yes but low-hanging fruit that can deliver 1000X returns on capital over a 5-10 year time horizon -- that's something different.
My friend did the same thing.
> Windows is dead.

Yes, with WSL to keep it afloat just long enough to steal your private data before it sinks.

It use to be the case that your private data would be sold to advertisers but that model is changing with the privacy laws, user starting to not tolerate it (e.g. see poor Google search results), and moats that are starting to fall apart (e.g. Apples app store).

Just in time for the next frontier. This time, the goal is to to feed GPT models with your private data. Windows and Outlook seem like excellent funnels to do just that. The best GPT model will require the most intimate data and at the lowest price possible. MSFT is positioned to do just that.
We are dependent in as much as gas prices going up 50 cents would cause widespread riots apparently. So yes, we are no longer getting 70% of our oil from Saudi Arabia so they can quite simply hold us by the balls, but we are still desperate to keep the rest of the world's oil supply flowing regularly so that we can keep our own internal prices "American friendly".

Think how far along we would have been had Reagan not been a contrarian asshole who took brand new solar panels off the whitehouse just because. The man signed off on he SuperConducting-SuperCollider because he understood how valuable science investment was, then promptly ignored that for national energy policy because his friends preferred to get rich.
There was recently a very interesting overview of the different distributed PostgreSQL architectures:

Awesome Aryan! This looks like a huge time-saver for anyone building AI-powered projects. Especially love the focus on those three core use cases and the opinionated but easy-to-grasp stack. Can't wait to see what people build with it!
Whether you have a "duty of confidentiality" or not is irrelevant to whether you've engaged in insider trading or not.
My point is that htmx is not for SPAs. You need something like Alpine.js.

A React app can live entirely in an .html file.
I've posted previously that I knew someone that went to one of the most joke low level public schools around (CSU East Bay - I audited a few classes with them even), and they were so goofy you had to help the through understanding the movie plot of basic movies even. They were fun to hang out with, but honestly pretty goofy. They were also a bit lazy, never really learning much about their field.

They were hired as a product manager by Google, based on their years of being a scrum master or whatever at a few other bay companies.
Its an inevitability. As large companies focus on profitability of existing business lines, small companies entertaining risk will discover new markets. High growth in new markets (with fewer competing startups, easier hiring, and institutional blind spots) will make investment attractive -even in a high rate environment. Of course each dollar of fundraising will be hard earned - requiring those startups to have a much higher bar for adding real value and sustainable business model. This cycles repeats itself across history.

6 years ago, with cheap money and everyone eager to start new firms makes success more of a lottery than a systematized effort. I'd rather be a startup founder raised on lean capital with less of a crowded marketplace.
Don't stop there! What if the whole thing was made up? Who's to say otherwise?! /s
It is possible but traditional power grid lines have quite some losses over longer distances. An expensive HVDC connection would be more efficient.

Furthermore Arizona could be too hot and dusty to be ideal. Solar panels work best when they are unobstructed and not too hot.
> We don't need cars. Everyone has a horse already.

This is not "cars versus horses", this is "fast cars versus slightly less fast cars".
> One thing to consider is that if that's profitable to do at house scale, then it's probably even more profitable to do at grid scale and you'll likely be out-competed by utility companies.

Utility companies have to pay for distribution networks, and generally pass that cost on in the price per kWh. Which you avoid the less you use the grid -- and which then become a higher proportion of the prices the utility has to charge the more people do that.
I think they meant people playing on really old dedicated GPU which likely are slower then the 8700G to a point where a 8700G might be a good replacement if their setup breaks or similar.
If they told you, you would also have a fatal accident.
Isn't the question how dangerous motorcycles are and not how dangerous motorcycle accidents?

Plane crashes have a pretty high death rate too, but plane crashs are rare.

What is the probability of having a motorcycle accident in Saudi Arabia.
The definition is amusing. "Have the ability to pay but don’t."

They don't exactly make it easy. I'm usually good about this but am probably on this list right now. My cat got out of the house and bit me on the hand last year around this time and it got infected and swelled up. Went to one of those boutique ERs with no wait, which I specifically did because I have plenty of money and can pay. They still couldn't bill me everything on the spot.

Four months later, when I got the rest of the bill, which is only $117, I tried to pay online and their website said my account number was invalid. It's the number on the bill they sent me. So I tried to call to pay and the payment center apparently is staffed by one person and if you call when they're at lunch, you're out of luck. It can be paid by mail, but they don't provide postage and I last sent mail on purpose on any regular basis over a decade ago and don't have any stamps.

So oh well, suck it. I'm not going through that much more effort to pay you $117. If you're seriously willing to sell that for $2 to a debt collector, have fun. Even if I ultimately pay, the labor and paperwork on behalf of all involved parties is probably enough that every single participant loses money.
Neither Occam's nor Hanlon's razor are to be used in strategic pursuits.
The lockdowns which came about as a pandemic response resulted in a huge shift in spending - many companies were suddenly flush with cash, and many of them decided to use that cash to invest in their business, by hiring engineers.
> There are multiple rounds of performance reviews, employees at the bottom are identified, they go through PIPs

I think this is a little hand-wavy. I bet the number of people identified for PIPs by stack ranking who survive the process is likely to be in the low single digit percentage, if that.
Trans-Alaska Pipeline System
Using last year's grad ratings as the input for this when this year's ratings will be final in literally a week seems ludicrous.
Is this a result of HN moving behind Cloudflare?
That isn't true. Here in Australia the typical notice period is two weeks.

That means if you want to leave, you write a resignation letter and you have time to hand over like you said.

However the employer might also walk you out of the building and continue to pay you for two weeks. I've seen this happen here. In some companies it depends on the job you're resigning from.

I happen to know my position at my company has the former sort of relaxed notice period, but other positions have the latter sort of strict notice period. It's very strange.
Empowering Uruguay's future workforce with AI
It can be, but I've discovered that in tech it's common to assume that your employees' time costs $0, for some reason. I couldn't even begin to count the number of times I've had to walk a manager back from deciding that we should spend a person-month of engineering time to develop an in-house solution that lets us avoid a $500/year licensing fee.

I see this a lot in RDBMSes. I've used plenty of 'em, and I have nothing against projects like PostgreSQL; they're amazing, especially for the price. But computers cost money, and maintenance time costs money, and development time costs money, and I know from experience that I can squeeze a lot more performance out of the same hardware using MSSQL than I can PostgreSQL, and I'll have an easier time doing it, too. I can even point to some of the specific design and feature differences that lead to the discrepancy.

It's to the point where, whenever I see an article talking about the limitations of relational databases, I automatically mentally insert a "that you can get for free" into the sentence.
With more engineers you could make more babies per month or something.
But I mean, even my dad died of a motorcycle accident... maybe this dude just did too ?
Yeah I understand the proposed protocol using entanglement. I'm just saying that if you're assuming we have access to the ability to send messages back in time there are much simpler protocols to achieve instant communication /without/ having to do anything involving entanglement.
It's a free and very small light tool. Try it?
For the JS case, that's really JavaScript's fault, since double-precision float ("number") is the only built in numeric type, other that BigInt, which has only existed for a few years.
