Not buying anything Lenovo made ever again. T14 G1 was the worst computer I've ever had the displeasure of using. Extremely spotty USB C connection, throttling to 0.2 Ghz for no reason with no fix, and just terribly slow all around. Shame since I loved the T450s dearly.

From what I've heard, Netflix has really diluted the culture that people know of from the Patty McCord days.

In particular, they have been revising their compensation structure to issue RSUs, add in a bunch of annoying review process, add in a bunch of leveling and titles, begin hiring down market (e.g. non-sr employees), etc.

In addition to doing this, shuffling headcount, budgets, and title quotas around has in general made the company a lot more bureaucratic.

I think, as streaming matured as a solution space, this (what is equivalent to cost-cutting) was inevitable.

If Netflix was running the same team/culture as it was 10 years ago, I'd like to say that they would have been able to pull of streaming.
Hmm. Engineering managers should be setting the team culture and determining best criteria for extending an offer to a candidate. If theres a problem with the hiring process I'd look for the closest source that could or should be fixing it.

I don't think I'd want to work for you.

Lots of devices that come with OLED displays come with a "vibrancy" mode turned on by default that oversaturates colors until you turn it off. It does look great at a glance tho!
Netflix has some NFL games on Christmas Day. Wonder how those will go for them.

I remember when ESPN started streaming years back, it was awful. Now I almost never have problems with their live events, primarily their NHL streams.
Are these new windows releases also 64 bit or still 32 bit?
i've never heard of people doing this to skin or clothes, but i know it's a thing for dogs and horses - you rub snow on their feet after a stream crossing, and the dry snow pulls the water out of their fur.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. I can see your point - it’s much harder to this live but a lot of their cdn infra can be reused.

It's the opposite; I prefer DuckDB and generally work with DuckDB's friendly SQL interface. SQL is declarative and is (for me) more intuitive than method-chaining -- especially for complex analytic operations that happen in one go.

(software people might beg to differ about the intuitive bit because they are more used to an imperative style, and to my surprise, even the best software engineers struggle with SQL because it requires one to think in set and relation operations rather than function calls, which many software folks are not used to)

I actually don't use the Polars dataframe APIs much except for some operations which are easier to do in dataframe form, like applying a Python function as UDF, or transposing (not pivoting) a dataframe.

Also Polars is good for materializing the query into a dataframe rapidly, which can then be passed into methods/functions. It's also a lot easier to unit test dataframes than SQL tables. There's a lot more tooling for that.
It mostly makes sense to me. From their bombastic blogs to github projects full of overwrought Enterprise java design patterns. The only thing great about Netflix is it pays a lot more.
However, this format doesn't immediately squash critical opinions (besides ␟ stuff), which eventually allows critical discourse to actually occur.

Except for that, as discussed in TFA, Bluesky isn't actually decentralized (yet).
Amazon Prime isn't so great. Lots of for rent/purchase content or content with ads these days. And they end up repeating slots of content in all the rows in their UI, so I end up seeing the same suggestions everywhere rather than much that's new (other than first party productions).

To me they're basically padding their front page.

But honestly that's most of the major streaming platforms these days. I recently cancelled Disney Plus for similar reasons. The only reasons I don't cancel prime or Netflix are because I have family members I split the memberships with to share.
> Im just offering you an explanation about evolution of powers in the world, and human resources is a huge factor.

Sorry, that wasn't an explanation that was needed nor asked for.

And its sounds like weird sort of demographic determinism, which is kinda so oversimple to be obviously not true.
Given that the sports-betting population is not entirely rational, and perhaps in predictable ways, would it be surprising if the odds that maximize profit in the real world differ from those which would be optimal given only rational and informed punters?

I didn't know either. I searched has died and limited the search to 24 hours and figured it that way.
Btw how do you know your current manager is not doing that.
I use Kitty as a terminal (on Linux) and fish as a shell (on both Linux and macOS). No AI (why do you need AI? Just use `tldr` or `--help`).

Kitty is GPU accelerated and has excellent support for displaying images in the terminal, using the Kitty graphics protocol. It also has its own keyboard protocol which works around many limitations you'd normally encounter with modkeys and TUI apps.

Also waiting to check out GhosTTY, which is supposed to be super fast (comes out next month).

As for the shell, I too hsed zsh in the past, but I switched away from zsh due to how slow and bloated it became.

fish is fast, and stuff like oh-my* is completely optional, because fish has many of the features zsh users would normally install manually.

The only plugins I use in fish are fisher (a fish package manager) and tide (a really fast, customisable asynchronous prompt).
Appreciate the pointers. Will check it out.
Why should they catering to such an audience in first place?

I think this could be one of upsells that Netflix could use.

Premium: get no delay

Normal users: get cache and delay
I'm curious if the root cause is more variable than usual latency.

Sample size 1, but...

I saw a ton of buffering and failure on an embedded Netflix app on a TV, including some infinite freezes.

Moved over to laptop, zero buffering.

I assume the web app runs with a lot bigger buffer than whatever is squeezed into the underpowered TV.
In my experience even YouTubeTV has problems sometimes. I'll have the 1080p (and enhanced mode also I think) quality set and still deal with a lot of compression artifacts.

3D printing catheters using microstereolithography
When the immune system encounters a new antigen, it needs to make a decision about whether to attack, or to ignore. Making the correct decision is important for fighting infections, killing cancer cells, and avoiding autoimmune diseases. The decision is made using time-dependent chemical signals and computations that occur at different places (tumor, lymph node, blood).

So if we think of the immune system as a computer that uses chemical signals, rather than electrical signals, how do we communicate with the immune system, to help it make the right decisions? My lab has designed a catheter that allows us to deliver time-dependent chemical signals into tumors and lymph nodes. The catheter contains a 3D printed retention mechanism to prevent migration, and it is implanted using image-guided, minimally invasive techniques. Different drugs can then be delivered into specific locations at specific times, using programmable pumps, to convince the immune system to attack cancer antigens.
I appreciate this; it's a good point.

What was an amazing fight - that Serrano won. I have no idea how Taylor was scored the winner.
That's the neat part, I don't. I only made an account after years of being broken down by trying to get past their "make an account" wall when I just followed some random link from HN or Reddit. I was fine just browsing tweets in a news when linked, but they clearly want to try and force me into their, uhh, "news network"? I never used any of the features; no comments, follows, likes, etc.

But others do and that's the sad part. I felt the same about Google+ dying to facebook; the inferior technology wins and it works against all the ways I want to communicate with others. So I gave up; I'm using Bluesky as a fresh start to be able to connect to future people I couldn't years ago that I met at conferences. But had nothing else to share other than a Twitter.

While I think it's horribly inefficient, it's even less respectful of me to ask them to take the time to make a social media account they don't have. That's all this is about for me. Meeting people at their level instead of trying to be this hipster trying to shill for this "cool misunderstood platform that's way better". I'll still use my hipster spaces, of course. But I can manage multiple feeds just fine.
I mean, in that very article it talks about how he was granted probation many times, and has already been released. Doesn't seem very lifey to me.
Out of those, Florence and Turkey are proper exonyms. Kiev and Kyiv are direct romanizations of the Russian and Ukrainian names. Other languages have actual exonyms for the city, such as Kiova in Finnish and Kijow in Polish. Peking is a romanization of an older pronunciation, while Beijing is closer to the modern pronunciation of the same name.
Please don't make these types of comments, they mean nothing and they serve no purpose.
Saying bluesky has won seems a bit pre-emptive, especially as its less than 2% the size of threads.

Has Netflix ever live streamed something before? People on reddit are reporting that if you back up the play marker by about 3 minutes the lag goes away. They've got a handle on streaming things when they have a day in advance to encode it into different formats and push it to regional CDNs. But I can't recall them ever live streaming something. Definitely nothing this hyped.
It seems like it's complete luck of the draw on what the front page looks like before you sign up.

I refreshed once after posting that and it looked amazing enough to come back and post here that it does look great now. Refreshed again and got this at the top: https://bsky.app/profile/rexchapman.bsky.social/post/3lazzns... here's hoping they stop amplifying the people who made twitter so toxic and make a network that's actually pleasant to be in.
Live is the only thing that won’t be commodified entirely. “Anyone” can pump out stream-when-you-want TV shows. Live events are generally exclusive, unpredictable, and cultural moments .
this is why managers get a bad rap. what proportion think like this? hopefully not a large one but i do worry. ultimately if the team sucks its because of the management. theyre the ones with the greatest power to change things for the better.

> I'm an engineering manager at a Fortune 500 company. The dumbest engineer on our team left for Netflix. He got a pay raise too.

Apparently he was smart enough to get away from the Fortune 500 company he worked at, reporting to yourself, and "got a pay raise too."

> Our engineers are fucking morons. And this guy was the dumbest of the bunch.

See above.

> If you think Netflix hires top tier talent, you don't know Netflix.

Maybe you don't know the talent within your own organization. Which is entirely understandable given your proclamation:

Our engineers are fucking morons.

Then again, maybe this person who left your organization is accurately described as such, which really says more about the Fortune 500 company employing him and presumably continues to employ yourself.

IOW, either the guy left to get out from under an EM who says he is a "fucking moron" or he actually is a "fucking moron" and you failed as a manager to elevate his skills/performance to a satisfactory level.

In this hypothetical, the cycles aren't being wasted on the engine, they're being wasted on running a 200b parameter LLM for longer than necessary in order to play chess badly instead of terribly. An engine playing superhuman chess takes a comparatively irrelevant amount of compute these days.

If it's fine up to a certain depth it's much more likely that it was trained on an opening book imo.

Yeah, nope. But you can run it in CrossOver/Wine.
Wow I feel scammed. I paid for a Netflix subscription specifically for this but it's not loading so I'm watching on an illegal streaming website
It's sad that tech employees won't collaborate to push back on management.

When I worked at Google everyone always said their favorite thing about work was their coworkers but when push came to shove they aren't willing to organize to help them. I get why many people don't want to organize but it made me happy to be gone, without cooperation they've just continued to be yanked around by management. I loved my coworkers, when management was shitty to them I wanted to fight!
I think Netflix will have even more sw engineers looking to work there once they notice even for average quality of work they can get paid 3 times more than their current pay.

Mine is glitchy, but if I refresh i get a good steam for a bit, then it gets low res, then freeze. If I wait for auto-reconnect it takes forever. Hard refresh and I'm good. Like, new streams to new server, then overloaded, then does as if their cluster is crashing and healing is rapid cycles. Sawtooth patterns on their charts.

And then all these sessions lag, or orphan taking up space, so many reconnections at various points in the stream.

System getting hammered. Can't wait for this writeup.
Yep. For the ones I've looked into, orders match when they sum to $1. Eg, I bid $0.75 on yes and you bid $0.25 on no. The contracts are very carefully written such that they are mutually exclusive, only one of us gets $1 when the contract resolves. And like you suggest, you pay a fee on the way out.
It mentions exit fees, which seems to be referring to the obvious candidate of network egress. But:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/bandwidth/
> Azure offers free egress for customers leaving Azure when taking their data out of the Azure infrastructure via the internet to switch to another cloud provider or an on-premises data center.

... So is that FAQ entry a recent change, or is the ftc claiming that there's actually some other charge, or...?
But there are two sides to everything and both should be given equal consideration. There are also extremes on both sides that should be recognized and rejected as such. And the only way to sift out the two and make sure you're not accidentally skewing towards one extreme is to consistently try to understand other people's perspectives.

This practice is both educational—it helps you see where you might be wrong after all—and crucial for anyone who wants to actually make a difference in the world. Rejecting the perspectives of 50% of the population out of hand is a great way to lose popular support and elections.
Illegal streams are working but netflix is not. That is crazy.

This is why I figure China wins this cold war.
What are the chances that your entire engineering team is entirely composed of low performers or people with bad attitude or whatever you designate as "fucking morons"?

It's more likely that you are bad at managing, growing and motivating your team.

Even if it was true, to refer to your team in this way makes you look like you are not ready for management.

Your duty is to get the most out of the team, and that mindset won't help you.

> Solar + battery storage is cheaper than nuclear

Solar + battery storage is cheaper than Vogtle, but Vogtle was an exercise in mismanagement before COVID caused it to be even worse. Compare:

https://www.oecd-nea.org/lcoe/

> Nuclear, as a baseload generator, is not capable of meeting demand peaks, so if we are going to require batteries for solar, we should require batteries for nuclear as well.

Being a baseload generator is what nuclear is used for. It doesn't require batteries because you're not trying to use it for demand peaks.

Suppose you have 10GW of demand at night (minimum daily demand), 16GW at midday during peak solar generation and 20GW for two hours right after sunset (maximum daily demand). Do you want 20GW of nuclear? No, you want 10, to handle the first 10GW of demand at all times. That's baseload. Then you want another 10GW of solar, most of which is used directly during midday and the rest of which is used with storage to handle the demand peak just after sunset.

Doing it this way means you only need storage for the amount the demand peak after sunset exceeds baseload, which might be 20GWh of storage, instead of needing enough storage to satisfy the entire demand all night, which could be 140GWh.

It also improves resistance to low renewable generation because if renewable output is at 50% of normal for a week or more but the grid is half nuclear then the overall grid would have a 25% deficit instead of a 50% deficit. And then you need less in long-term storage, or peaker plants, to pick up that load.
Which ThinkPad is this? The OLED uses a ton of battery life, so either you're not pushing the system very hard or you have a very big battery.
It's so criminal and just rank ass terrible for this amazing segment of computing that it is - by and large - locked up behind incredibly hard to negotiate expensive software packages and solutions.

This is totally the gateway to seeing & understanding what computing actually is. And there are outstanding and fantastic chips with all kinds of capability on offer.

But almost universally they require very expensive obtuse custom/proprietary software to do anything at all. And two thirds the features on the chip require expensive IP add-ons to use from there.

It's just so so so unfortunate what a ceiling there is on adoption for fpgas. So much capability and so little ability for an empoweredearned community to form around such amazing power. There's something deeply scary to me especially about how, with fpga and RISC-V chip design in general, digital logic is cheap and plentiful, but as soon as you want interconnect or memory or io, as soon as you are looking beyond the scope of what you can do inside the scope of a chip, it's $$$ galore to buy ways to talk to the outside world, that open chip design & progress is strong but only in the confines of the digital domain.
Well, they'll at least report that they're doing it. I've heard that autocracies tend to have data quality issues that derive from messengers not wanting to be shot.
