This is known as the Dead Internet Theory -- that it's mostly bots talking to bots, as online ad revenue is ultimately driven by views and clicks, and there is a strong incentive to "shape consensus" via marketing and propaganda bot accounts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory

As bots start to proliferate, people will engage less, or take up digital residence in spheres that seem (emphasis on 'seem') less impacted by these trends.

Example: I stopped looking for things on Amazon, and look on other sites first, then check if Amazon has the identical item -- too many "sponsored ads" and marketplace garbage. And I am weary if it's not "sold by Amazon". If I could I'd stop using Amazon entirely, but for now it's still adequate. Similar idea with a lot of Reddit communities -- at this point I've shaved down all of the front page ones and mostly stick to niche subs.
The "protesting farmers" is just speculation from the NOS, and might as well be Nazis or motorbike gangs or extreme-left activists or $anything_else. Previous poster merely used it as an example to illustrate that these type of specifics matter.

Also these "protesting farmers" involved a number of violent incidents, intimidation, threats, and things like that. Look, things aren't black-white here, but "peaceful, law-abiding citizens" is very much a distortion of what happened.
IBM is currently shipping Power10 while Raptor ships Power9 in the Talos II. If I understand correctly, they had issues getting to a fully open source firmware solution for a Talos III with a Power10 in it.

This actually made me hold off on spending $10k on a computer that's last-generation technology. I suspect I'm not alone - a lot of interest in OpenPOWER is probably waiting for Power11 and Talos III or whatever permutation that can ship a real product that isn't 5+ years old.

The score as a whole is one of the best parts of the game. But I didn't find it vapid at all. I consider it an allegory about globalism. Sora's quest is to restore the integrity of each "world", integrity that was lost when the worlds were "connected". The denizens of connected worlds become "heartless", etc.

This only applies to the first game, though. After that I have no idea what's going on.
Nice. I installed it on my Android, and permissions were such that I uninstalled it immediately.

As a footnote, I don't want apps knowing my location either.

What I'd most like is an Android phone which can decide when to give apps null / blank / fake information. My location should be north pole, with an error the size of the circumference of the earth. My contacts should be blank, as should my media. If the app wants to add contacts or media, they live in the app's silo.
consumers have an easier solution: they just don't answer the phone unless it's a someone they know.
While not exactly the same, I once got a call from a number I didn't recognize, and when I answered the phone it was a recording of my wife saying "Hello?". I no longer answer phone calls by saying "Hello", unless I know the caller.

Rust is independent now, and Mozilla fired most of that team a while ago. Mozilla has little to show for raking in $500 million a year from Google.

Firefox never was slow on the desktop in my experience. Chrome was faster for the first few years. SpiderMonkey always lagged behind V8 in benchmarks, but general performance of the browsers has been equal since the early or mid 2010s.
I am not saying, that the simulating world has no constraints. Only that there is no reason for the constraints present in the simulation to perfectly mimic the real world.

I would argue, that a perfect simulation is most of the time less efficient than a simulation with very specific parameters. For example, humans studying game theory with artificial agents create very specific environments.

There are also plenty of reasons to run a simulation on a slower tick rate than a real world. For science, we simulated a black hole, which required hundreds of hours to simulate a single frame. For entertainment, we made movies, for which it is not uncommon to require thousand hours of cpu time just to render a single minute.

The stacking problem can be easily solved by applying the concept of entropy to it. You can't expect to receive the same amount of energy you put into a system. Therefor a simulation can't perfectly simulate the world running the simulation. Which means, that at the end of every single simulation chain exists a simulation not yet capable of generating a simulation. But this statement provides us no more information about the relationship between the simulator and the simulation.

We can introduce whatever constraints or assumptions we want. It makes no difference. My argument was against the statement, that one can say something is more likely or more reasonable, when debating if we are living a simulation. One can't.
As someone who's nearly exclusively used Firefox since before it was called Firefox, I would not say that the product itself has been neglected. It continues to get better, from my point of view. Like seriously if you're reading this and at all interested, just try to switch to it for a week, it's great.

However it is factual that its marketshare (and thus, relevance (and thus, influence on the web)) has dramatically declined over the past decade or so. People complain about Mozilla's tech side quests (and occasionally people complain about their social-cause chases), but this is the real honest complaint. Firefox is trending toward irrelevancy, while Google has gradually taken control of this market. Meanwhile, CEO compensation has gone up (amid layoffs in the ZIRP era, for that matter).

Being stuck in a free GSuite legacy account is even worse. Migrating to a regular Google account seems impossible (moving everything, losing purchases, changing my YouTubeTV and Google Fi subscriptions) and I get every feature later, if at all (can't use YouTubeTV Family Sharing, for example.) But I'm stuck for the most part! By the time it's available for me, I'll have forgotten about Gemini altogether.

I think the live stream was both a great and terrible idea. It was great because it showed the world we weren't just sitting on our hands. It was terrible because trying to do your work while 5000-something people are watching (we were in the top 10 live streams for most of the day) is incredibly stressful. Looking back, I'm not sure we had much of a choice though, so it's not something I feel particularly negative about.

“Demand goes up so price goes up” is true ceteris paribus. For instance, if the FDA banned Ozempic tomorrow, you would expect the price of food to go up because many of the Ozempic patients would return to their previous consumption habits. But there have been a thousand other things that have happened which adjusted the price up and down, and most of those events in the past 200 years made food cheaper instead of more expensive, because the world increased the amount of food it was able to grow a lot faster than people increased the size of their appetites.

In fact, this actually demonstrates another effect: as something becomes cheaper, people will consume more of it. Strictly speaking, demand is a curve where quantity demanded is inversely proportional to price; if “demand goes up” we usually mean the entire curve shifts to the right. There’s also a supply curve: quantity supplied is directly proportional to price. The intersection of these curves is the market price; nobody “decides the prices” unless you have a monopoly or cartel or government interference.

Housing, incidentally, is a classic example of government interference.
That's a great paper. I've tangled with the line fill buffer issue before, along with other hidden limits such as infinity fabric limits on AMD systems. It's one of the first big disppointments when you start doing high performance, bandwidth-limited compute work. It's also one that's almost entirely undocumented which is frustrating.
The weights inside a model interact with each other in a way that's a bit more complex than just saying "forget documentation from these 300 open source products you scanned last week and replace that knowledge with these updates". You're talking about doing a pretty big training job for each update that really ought to be done with all current training data.

Public trust requires building it first. As one of the first instances of a waymo crash, yes the public needs to see it. If after reading the footage in the first 99 crashes and in each time waymo’s assessment was valid, that’s when Waymo has public trust and can credibly not release every single video but only do it on a case by case basis.
The phenomenon is of course well-studied by linguists.

I'm the marketing guy and I'll give you some suggestions:

1. Stop hating, despising and/or looking down on your customers. Most business owners do this and are not good at hiding it. Customers are not a nuisance, they pay your bills and they respect you as a professional by paying for your work.

2. A) Know exactly what you are offering and exactly what it costs. Even if you will make custom solutions for customers, you have to know what the basic or most common use case will be and what you will charge.

2. B) Communicate exactly what you are offering and exactly what it costs. Put it on your website and other marketing material, put as much information about it on your website as you can. Be precise on pricing and offer solutions/products that cover most use cases. Even if you would have offered a great price to a customer, they already closed your tab because 99% of businesses who do not print their price are scamming their customers. Even if the customer was looking for a custom solution, having your standard prices printed means they can get an idea of your rates.

3. Don't block a customer from purchasing your product. Why are you obstructing them from clicking the purchase button by putting your annoying cookie banners and sign-up letters and chatbots in front of their face? Why is your website slow to load and jumping around? Why is your text illegible?

Oh great, they actually clicked the purchase button! Now let me jerk around this customer by forcing them to load seven different pages to confirm their purchase. Better have them agree on receiving marketing e-mails and put some more pop-up windows with spam in front of their face before they can put in their details. Better annoy them in every way possible with adress requirement, force them to register an account and make a very specific password. Surely they are so desperate to buy my product that they will accept any humiliation and annoyance to complete their purchase?

That's the basics and takes you a long way without having to learn more about marketing. Not knowing anything more about your business.

1. Been through 6 accounts, A slightly edgy joke will get you banned and appeals are not accepted nor are they replied to anymore.

2. The "app" is literally just Electron and somehow they still screwed it up, it's laggy, always being overhauled, and almost always has a new useless feature only for nitro that increased it's size several hundred megabytes.

3. Used to be fast and pleasant to use on mobile until a major redesign I had to revert from that put everything in tabs and made it look like every modern mobile chat application.

Stephenson covered similar ideas as far back as Snow Crash, in 1992. The "burb-claves" and how everyone ultimately paid to live in their own socio-economic bubble, complete with ethics and housing. literal walled gardens and group-think bubbles.

There's a Google bubble on HN, as demonstrated by small-to-medium business facing SaaS launching here offering login with Google and not offering login with Microsoft.

I've talked to many of HN's Google Docs jockey founders that genuinely didn't realize 85% of the US domestic business market is in M365. And they further don't realize that "Continue with Microsoft" is dirt simple and lets companies offer company-managed logins to your SaaS without all the AD/SCIM/SAML nonsense.

"But everyone has Gmail." Well, no, that's not how companies work. And if you think everyone's in Google, that's fine, your login page should look like one of these:

https://www.xsplit.com/user/auth

https://id.atlassian.com/login

You don't even need the "continue with SSO" if you do the Atlassian practice of letting a firm "claim" the domain part of an email and using that to redirect to an SSO flow. And to start, skip SSO, and just use the "Continue with" Oauth2.

I do not buy that cause in Central Europe there’s a lot of tech companies offices closing or exiting, and the whole scene of startups and scale ups are not so dynamic as USA and if you go to pitchbook/Crunchbase you will see tons of “startups from 2011” with overhead/org bloat with last round in 2020/21.

Yup. We played with that years ago and dropped it as much too big of a potato. Another HN user spent a lot of time working on it and eventually gave up too. Someone should have a go using the newer AI tools though.

Also yup - building support for the community to take care of this is how we plan to do it, whenever we get to working on it. I think this could work well because people care about this problem.
