I don't remember whether it was this or "sunshine", but game streaming from your own PC hasn't been the same since it was simply "turn on the Nvidia feature". It was way too difficult to figure out how to make it work the last time I tried and I gave up and haven't tried again since. For all the good they do otherwise, FOSS devs just never seem to get usability right.
Oh gee, _now_ the developers who always insisted unions would hamper their ability to earn top wages because they're such special uniquely talented little developers suddenly want... protections that a union would provide?
If only anyone saw this coming...
How does a National ID system being "cryptographically secure" prevent someone from stealing your identity?
It's too bad not enough people know about using adguard dns on their phones. Dunno about iPhones but it works wonders on Android. Only downside is it sometimes interferes with signing into public wifi networks.
This guy is 100% on the mark. Amazon is all about throwing the guy next to you under the bus to get ahead. They will chew you up and spit you out. NEVER work there!
Do NOT work for Amazon!
If you had a different offer, I'd say consider it, but Amazon is VERY likely to leave you high and dry within 12 months. Never ever trust that company unless you are completely willing and able to land on your feet when they unceremoniously kick you to the curb tomorrow for no good reason other than some manager needed a scapegoat to make his numbers look good.
Do yourself a favor, stay out of the current mess of a market, stay away from Amazon, and take some extra time to learn more and become more employable.
Also, never trust Reddit. It's like 50% bots and trolls and 50% idiots who have no idea what they're talking about whatsoever but like to make themselves feel like they're smart by saying whatever dumb unfounded idea comes to their head. It's just as bad or worse than Twitter. Would you take advice from random people on Twitter?
Ew. Ex-Amazon. Never trust "career insights" from _anyone_ at or from Amazon.
Yeah, Wikipedia is famously hostile to new contributors. It's a wonder they still continue existing and also have the gall the beg for donations. Imagine if reddit begged for donations?
I don't even really think about wikis as a set of interlinked documents moreso just as a repository of information. In the context of games whose communities created wikis, at least. Usually the discoverability of and interlinking of documents in said community wikis is pretty piss-poor though.
Most people don't have a choice for what ISP they use. And even when they do it's usually "do what to live in the modern world or deliver your packets via the Pony Express?".
Whoops, lack of sleep, haha.
Lol! Yep, that's my bad. Too sleepy right now.
~~I wouldn't be so sure about "clearly". We're still very squarely in the "fancy auto-complete" stage of "AI", the name of which I still consider more branding than reality.~~
Edit: Ignore me, I'm sleepy and can't read, lol
This is also true, but for what I was calling out, people do pay off mods to supress or promote certain content on the subs they moderate or mods push their own sites or products if they have something to push.
You have to realize that the majority of reddit "users" are either bots (especially now with LLMs making it so easy to generate text on the fly) or utterly braindead. Just last week I got banned and comment deleted from a subreddit calling out someone for deliberately spreading false information. Their comment? Still there.
I have one friend who just loves listening to AI readings of AI-generated drama farming content purporting to be real content from Reddit. It's bizarre.
I also found at least one subreddit for a product which specifically banned posts with the word "scam" in them when I went to make a post about the product being a scam. If that doesn't tell you how much of a scam it actually is, I don't know what does.
Even before the rise of LLMs, everyone knew Reddit was astroturfed to hell and back.
Reddit mods are largely paid shills. Reddit users are zombies. It's worthless to consider the site as a good source of information or sentiment anymore.
Meetup used to be that until they got greedy and started charging everyone. It collapsed very quickly after that. It's a ghost town now.
Thieves whining about thieves. They'll have to excuse me for having exactly zero sympathy.
If only we lived in a sane world/country...
Nope, they ARE all faked ads. I'm really not sure why anyone would think otherwise. The only exception being the CS gambling sites which turned out to be owned by the guys making videos/streams showcasing them "winning" (with fudged probabilities it tuened out).
You know what, that's a great idea! Surely nothing bad will ever come from increasing wealth disparity by letting wealthy people hoard all the money, right? If we let them hoard all the money, then surely some will spill back down to the poor. A trickle perhaps. Actually that's a good name. Let's call it "trickle down economics". Bam! That's a winner right there! Surely no one else has tried this idea yet, right? I bet we'll only see amazing things from this new economy!
This is basically the modus operandi of almost every company these days. Where do you think anyone is gonna go? I sure as shit can't name any companies that don't act like this.
(Not parent) It doesn't. It's just uninformed or bad faith commenting, astroturfing, and arm chair developers who've never written a line of code for a game in their lives. Always has been.
(Or maybe Jason Hall is going by "Tyler" now. XD )
For code only, even then only sometimes or even rarely. The HN comments section is like a gold mine of the Dunning Kruger effect for social awareness/intelligence. It's not even worth pointing out because you'll just get 5 paragraphs in response of "no, you're wrong because I'm smart and so I'm right". It's exhausting.
Some dipshit with too much power and not enough brain cells nor incentive to care about making good choices. That's also an intentionally chosen pattern throughout the company. :)
Yeah, these days I use the little Ask button to just give a summary of videos more and more. Most videos could have been an email. I'll usually only let videos run when I need background noise, when there's sufficient detail throughout that a summary wouldn't capture, or when it's not an informative video and there's actual value to me in letting it run, like humorous videos.
I can't think of literally anything meaningfully different about the Chrome UI from any other browser...
Yeah, this exactly. Google goes out of their way to be as unfriendly to adblockers as possible in Chrome. I don't know why anyone is still even using Chrome or why you would want to support them (by value-adding to their browser) with your efforts.
This. If we try to tackle everything at once it won't work, but make inroads where you can while the winds are at your back for a particular issue.
People were plenty productive before AI burst onto the scene. Wanting to not have AI shoved down your throat doesn't suddenly make someone "not productive". What an utterly assinine take. Thank you for being Exhibit A for why everyone hates the AI bros.
Wow there must be an echo in here because I swear I said just that... And then pointed out that it's the same crap being recycled back and forth across the company. There is no real separation.
That's horrific for people to even think of doing that and I'm sorry that's happened to you. You have my condolences. Too many people in tech are so utterly shameless, unfortunately.
