Quantity is not the important factor in entertainment channel selection. Most people do not pay for a streaming service, if there's only 1 thing they want. Consumers aren't concerned with what they dont want, unless it gets in the way of what they do want.

They both simultaneously support Trump as a monarch, elected by God himself, and consider him a bumbling fool prone to lying, and as such never to be listened to. If I wanted to find the best evidence of Trump's deception, I wouldn't ask democrats, I'd ask his supporters. But they are not ashamed, they actually adore his deception and use it as a tool to dodge accountability.

It's bizarre, almost a type of political self-hatred or shame.
> made or produced by human beings rather than occurring naturally, especially as a copy of something natural.

Artificial is an adjective here, as in a type of intelligence that is artificial. It's not exactly the same, it's a subcategory.

You seem to be using "artificial" as "mock", as in "seems like but isn't". That's not what I think people mean when they refer to AI in this context.

If e.g. humans are living in a simulation then it's completely fair to say they're AIs. If humans are a product of nature then they're not.

Years ago I was hired to do IT for a company that had just massacred like half its workforce. And when I say “just” I mean most of the people I interviewed with were gone when I got there - it happened just a few weeks after I interviewed.

It was so, so surreal. For one thing they decided to consolidate on the second floor of a two story building, so to get to work each day you had to head through the dark and empty part of the building. And it was just like everyone just got up one day and left, at least for a month or two u til we could get all the equipment and stuff off the desks and into storage.

Storage was what had been the gym (or was going to be? Not clear to me), and I just remember rows and rows of tower computers and monitors awaiting a company to come and take it all off our hands.

They had also bought a ton of expensive networking gear (Cisco routers and switches) that they now no longer needed, they just sat in boxes in the server room.

Labs still entirely stocked with gear and computers, meeting rooms with whiteboards still filled with meeting notes, it was all so unreal, almost post-apocalyptic.
I don’t know a single person who pirates music anymore. It’s way too convenient to pay $5-10/month for unlimited access to nearly every record ever created.

And there was a brief period in the 2010s where I could almost say that about movies. But now, most people I know are back to pirating because it doesn’t require an eclectic taste to find that you need 6 different streaming services to meet your needs. The film industry was so close, and dropped that ball.

I wonder how difficult it would be to combine many of these techniques into some automated script that dumps a manifest of the different types of undocumented APIs there are. LLMs have also been shown to be pretty good at answering semantic questions about large blobs of minified code, perhaps there could be some success there?
I envision a future where ads are llms targetized.
Is this worst or better than what we have now?
> Is my guess correct?

My self observation is my performance is relative to how rushed I am to complete something. So I tend to perform much better at places that develop features on a 1-3 month cadence rather than somewhere that expects development progress to occur on a day/week basis. Even when the overall amount of time spent on development is the same.

I think having to show my unfinished work to people takes its toll on my confidence. I know it's crap because it's not finished, and I spend so much time talking about what's missing/poorly designed that I come away from demos thinking, "I just showed everyone how terrible I am at this."

My goal is always to be a star employee. Since I benefit from doing a great job just as much as my employers do.
Sure, but I remember pirating La Maman Et La Putain specifically because it was yet-to-be-released by Criterion in any form - and it was Jean Eustache's masterpiece that made a splash at the Cannes back in 1972, not an obscure film by any measure (even if not mainstream by any measure either).

Piracy still remains a supremely important means of both accessing and archiving content after it stops being a moneymaker, or simply when it pauses being one.

Case in point - plenty of stories about games on being officially published by the content owners... with cracks, after the source code was lost (or wasn't in a shape to be rebuilt), and officially selling the pirated version was the only thing the publisher could figure out how to do[2].

you're definitely right, 80% was a bit of an overestimation, especially with respect to CUDA

> I don’t know a single person who pirates music anymore.

What do you think the biggest category is, by every measure, on YouTube?

There are lots of distribution and payment mechanics changes over the years across creative industries. So it's very hard to generalize. But strictly in terms of piracy, there are more than enough non-monetized audio uploads on YouTube to say, music piracy is alive and well.
Agreed. The same with Music - with the rise of services like the iPod and more modern streaming services like Spotify, the effort just wasn't worth it. It turns out that people will happily pay for that content if its in an easy and convenient format.

Regarding video specifically, one problem I see with the streaming services is the increasing push of New content. Streaming services like Netflix or Hulu or Paramount+ are really dependent on new subscribers, which means they tend to focus on new and exclusive content to draw in new people, so they prioritize that (to a fault imho).

Many of us still want to rewatch those shows from the 90s we loved. Paramount+ specifically is "The Star Trek Streaming Service", and I know the folks over on reddit have their beef with P+ for seemingly de-prioritizing it instead of milking an extensive library like a cash cow. The past few years I've been digging into older movies - some black and white, silent, foreign, or weird avant-garde stuff. Streaming really drops the ball there, but I can understand how the business model doesn't really favor that.
Show HN: DocSend, but Made 10x Cheaper
Hey HN, founder of Peony here. Most founders use DocSend to share investment or sales docs and have to pay $65 to $300 a month to get the security and analytics features. It pains me to see startups getting ripped off when the availability of technologies such as Clickhouse makes real time analytics almost a trivial feature to implement in 2024.

We think it's time to end the carnage and democratize the technology. We set ourselves a high bar: we don't want to build another DocSend - we want it to be a far more superior product and also 10x cheaper.

After a couple of months of work, I'm proud to share with you Peony - a first preview into what we believe will be the future of file sharing. In addition to the analytics and security features you'd expect coming from DocSend, we built Peony to be flexible and adaptable across all your file sharing needs and give you the ability to deeply personalize your file share per recipient.

I'd love to hear what you think?

Great article!

For context: this WebGPU version achieves ~17% of peak theoretical performance of M2. With CUDA (i.e. CuBLAS), you can reach ~75% of peak performance for same matrix config (without tensor core).
If you're using zerl on the client and plain dist on the server; the question isn't what Zerl can serialize, but what the server will process.

With stock OTP dist, there is no barrier between nodes. Stock OTP runs an rpc server that you can use to send function calls to run, which can include BEAM code to load (or file I/O to do); and even if that's disabled, you can spawn a process to run a function with arguments on a remote node without needing an rpc server at all.
Weird Stuff, Halted, Alltronics and Excess Solutions sold the electronics + misc. When I'd feel like I needed some inspiration, I'd often go and pick up some weird obscure failed (or prototype) project. Once I found a floppy disk carrier that belonged to a fellow employee (based on the handwritten label) from my first job, 20 years earlier.

Excess Solutions also sold more of the furniture stuff, workbenches, and, strangely, hotel surplus blankets, lighting fixtures and wall coverings. My $20 living room couch came from there - I think it was originally from Ikea but it's still pretty solid. The fabric is faded with a particular stripe and I imagine had spent it's previous life in the lobby of some software company where the sunlight would find it's way through some half broken blinds to mark the passage of time by fading this couch.

Weird Stuff I know didn't have their lease renewed by the property owner (google) and most of it's stock was scrapped as waste.

Ask HN: Selling a Tech Blog
Hello,

I have a tech blog that I've been running for almost 3 years now. My passion for it has kind of dwindled, as I have other "hobby" projects to work on, as well as a life to live.

Kind of sucks letting it go, but I'd rather pass it on to someone that will do something with it, as it's just going to slowly die. I'm not going to post the URL here, but if you check my history, you should see it.

Curious if anyone has ever sold a tech blog/site before, and what you have used? Kind of want to avoid Flippa and other listing sites.

Thanks.
No, Pong had "artificial". It did not have "intelligence".

I mean, I guess if you insist on the 1950s definition of AI, perhaps it did. I'm not sure it did even by the 1970s definition, though, and it absolutely did not have it by the 2020s definition.

And if you're going to claim that we should keep using the 1950s definition, well, languages change over time. If you want to communicate with people in the 2020s, use definitions from the 2020s.
Even for non pirated content, I built a dedicated gaming pc. Kernel level anti cheat is becoming more prolific and it is impossible for me to trust the code quality going into those. Even games are not immune to ad tech revenue and are sending system telemetry to their servers.
In my personal view, this seems a little overbearing.

If you expose an API, and you want to tell a user that they are "unauthorized" to use it, it should return a 401 status code so that the caller knows they're unauthorized.

If you can't do that because their traffic looks like normal usage of the API by your web app, then I question why their usage is problematic for you.

At the end of the day, you don't get to control what 'browser' the user uses to interact with your service. Sure, it might be Chrome, but it just as easily might be Firefox, or Lynx, or something the user built from scratch, or someone manually typing out HTTP requests in netcat, or, in this case, someone building a custom client for your specific service.

If you host a web server, it's on you to remember that and design accordingly, not on the user to limit how they use your service.
(Author here) Yeah, good feedback, I think I overstated this in the article.

It would have better to say Google popularized these practices rather than pioneered them. Or at least, that these practices became much more widespread among tech companies after Google's IPO in 2004 than beforehand.

I think it's also safe to say that Google's culture was strikingly different from other tech companies of its era, as has been well documented in a few books.
One point to note is that humans evolved from apes at a quick pace. I've heard claims that longer life-span, the ability to engage in complex vocalizations, opposable thumbs, upright stance, binocular vision and so-forth are all pretty recent innovation over evolutionary short period, with large brain size turning out to be last addition.

The human package might be not much more complex than "start with a rock-throwing mob and features providing benefits"

So, on the surface, you could have a species that sprinted to all the features required for civilization - and then destroyed itself in a blaze of less-than-glory as we seem on a trajectory to do.

Edit: Note, I should add that I'd actually doubt this scenario could happen only because the evolution of human seems part of the general acceleration of evolution that can be seen throughout geological history.
I have a hunch that mass deportations have an accelerationist origin. If Heritage Foundation ultimately thinks depopulation and mass automation are tenable and on their way, a supply shock in the labor market could spark some change. Not unlike the Death Plague contributed to the rise of wealthy craftsman and merchant class.

I've never actually done normal banking business inside a bank before. Practically every transaction I've ever needed with any bank I've had an account with has been entirely online or through the mail. The only exception was needing large bills for a cash transaction one time, in which that teller was pretty much just an ATM with fatter bills and it wasn't even my bank just a random one nearby that charged me $1 to withdraw several thousand in cash with a debit card. Their ATM out front would have charged more to dispense $20's.

That’s not the point. Evolutionary pressure doesn’t care if something is or isn’t useful per see. It’s all situational anyway.

To simplify a lot, either you have offsprings and your genes spread or you don’t and they don’t. Evolution is not a purposeful process towards fitness. It’s a reification of the results of the way genes are passed, how they and the environment affect individual characteristics and how an individual fitness to their current environment impacts their chance to mate.

Then there's languages and subtitles, and publishers still don't get that shit right.

FFS, I can't watch a Ukrainian movie in Ukrainian outside Ukraine, because the publisher only released the English version on US streaming services.

And if I want to watch a film with a soundtrack in one language (the original, perhaps) and subtitles in another (out of the ones I speak that it better translates to), sayonara, we're hitting the torrents.

In Schlock Mercenary, an AI is truly sapient, and therefore has rights. A "synthetic intelligence" is below that threshold ("synthetic intelligence means 'kinda stupid'" is one line), and therefore can be used as guidance for missiles and such, where their survival is not expected.
