- AndrexYou're probably gonna need to chip a few blocks on your own before asking Michelangelo for pointers.
- It's not hard to look at each profile, most will proudly shout their top credentials as visibly and often as possible. "1M Subscribers on YouTube!" vs. "I worked in this industry for 10 years" is a pretty easy call. How much of this process should be spoonfed? Active engagement is required at some point.
Udemy functions as open market with the associated pros and cons.
- I'm starting to learn human history is people getting bored of something and then it takes a generation or two before it's exciting all over again.
Fashion, I suppose.
- Ouch.
Maybe we'll get some awesome FOSS tech out of its ashes?
- The Maverick used to be the truck but they've jacked it by like almost twice the price since debut. With so much "upmarket momentum" the e-F150's days were numbered.
Now I'm sitting here wondering when we'll get another small Ford truck again. This same exact story played out with the Ranger and the decades without a smaller option sucked then too.
- There is no issue except the one third-parties (such as HN commenters) are making out of it.
Fedora and FEDORA reached an agreement a long time ago. Unless I missed something, neither party has disparaged the other in that time. The parent comment is making drama out of literally nothing. Neither side cares so why is parent OP trying to stir shit up?
As the kids say, "not a good look."
- Due to their comparative popularity, it makes complete sense to me. You don't have people in HN comments for a new Fedora release going "Wait is this about the Digital Access Project?"
What does "not a good look" even mean in this context? Getting tired of this phrase's overuse tbh. "Think of the optics" fell into disuse and I can't wait for this one to join it.
- If it had been about GIMP I would have laughed harder.
- Why not both?
- I bet if you'd show that image to a human they'd need a little time to figure out what the heck they were looking at. Humans might need additional guesses, too. Five-legged dogs aren't common, but well-endowed dogs may be.
- The incredulity I feel at HN types hyping up UniFi is pretty high. A for-profit company centralizing commodity tech into a single point of failure, what could go wrong? We've been down this road before, the hype and "magic" is never worth it... Come on, guys.
- Online cheaters are first against the wall when I become dictator...
- If I remember right, it played a role in the Crowdstrike failures. So yeah wouldn't surprise me MS is hoping to get rid of it.
- True, but Google's been making them for 10 years, which subjectively feels like a long time in tech.
- > Did anybody ever get banned for searching the wrong keywords?
No, but they probably pass clusters of (perceived to be) dangerous searches on to the Feds. Talking out my ass though.
- It feels like (to me) that Google's TPU advantage (speculation is Meta is buying a bunch) will be one of the last things to be commoditized, which gives them a larger moat. Normal chips are hard enough to come by for this stuff.
- > it is, for the agents of the shareholders
Shareholders are still human beings and the power they wield should be subject to public scrutiny.
- Open troughs are fine, toilets facing each other with no partitions is a bit far. I grew up rural but not that rural.
- Spinning up an all-new ad network is pretty tough. I would think OpenAI would need to beat Meta/Google on basics like CPM in order for the network effects to make it desirable for ad vendors over Meta/Google. Ad budgets are fixed and zero-sum and vendors (in my head, I don't know) would prefer to spend their money on the best network giving the best results. I don't know if ads in LLM chats can get there.
- I will write it one day. Right now other more fully-formed creative projects are taking precedence.
I do know that when I write it it'll be a different take, because it'll be my voice and perspective and a synthesis of the media that makes me, me.
But as they say, writing is hard. :)
My parent comment deals more with the idea that some fantastical sci-fi ideas or inventions become less fantastical the longer you sit on them. The idea for a touch-based slate computer in TNG was pretty cool! Now everyone has a tablet, and that took only about 20 years.
I don't believe other literary genres have this unique problem. If I came up with a Game of Thrones-esque fantasy story, I wouldn't need to worry about the worldbuilding becoming "outdated." (Maybe in esoteric cases like dinosaurs not having feathers before we discovered that they do, etc.)
