He said YouTube Premium - its service letting users pay to remove ads between videos, or songs on its music service - had helped boost paid subscriptions across Google consumer services to more than 325 million in 2025 overall.

Out of the 60bn they made only 325 ml from paid subscribers. The title made it like it was an important figure. There's also no YOY numbers or profit so it's difficult to draw a conclusion.

Other benefits: easy access to reliable infrastructure and latest hardware which you can swap as you please. There are cases where it makes sense to navigate away from the big players (like dropbox going from aws to on-prem), but again you make this move when you want to optimize costs and are not worried about the trade-offs.

This is a great solution for a very specific type of team but I think most companies with consistent GPU workloads will still just rent dedicated servers and call it a day.

I'd have to host it somewhere (s3?). Right now I only commit the solution png to github. OFC it's not a good option but it's free and fast.

on disk, so basically I'm trying to save the image of a solution and reuse it if the same quiz is required. So instead of recomputing the result just return the same image.

I see some of you are already crashing the server. :melting: try to run it locally if you can't get the result via render

lovely, I've created a solution finder for it.

1. Do a screenshot of the grid (try to include walls as well)

2. Open https://enclosure-horse-solution.onrender.com/

3. Make sure the number of walls are correct in the input (bottom left)

4. Press "Solve"

PS: It might crash as it's on the free version of render. I've added a caching layer.

Here's the github so you can run it locally:

https://github.com/langarus/enclosure.horse-solution

clone it and run

make init // make web

Great concept! What if the user is offline, makes updates to the local/embedded DB, but when it gets online there's an issue in syncing that prevents updating the postgress with the SQLite changes?

Is SQLite reverted to postgress and thus the changes lost?

They built that reputation on merit. But for the past 10 years they focused a lot on profits. Ask any mechanic and no one in his right mind would recommend getting one. Unless you don't mind paying frequent high fees for repairs.

Exactly, if the author would have looked at least at PE ratio the conclusions would have been different. Seems like amateurish writing

It's really easy to compare the current situation with the 98. Burry has been calling out the index fund bubble for quite some time. In 98 there was a .net bubble which looks more to the web3 craze we had in the last years.

Spoiler: it's a rowing boat with the shape of Bezos' face. Pretty impressive

Have you tried running remote via parsec (if you want the full desktop experience)? With proper internet connection you won't realize you are on a remote connection.

I get

Uncaught 72428808 - Exception catching is disabled, this exception cannot be caught. Compile with -s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0 or DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=2 to catch

when starting a game, anyone have an idea why? On both chrome and edge.
