One of the biggest problem I see with the creator economy is that most of the highest grossing products on any platform are get rich schemes. Real estate, credit repair (like the example quoted on Teachable), drop shipping tutorials etc are

Huh? Doesn't exponential mean a self applied multipler? 1.0000001X a year is also exponential growth, as is 1.4x (40%) or 2x. Anything that grows on itself (the next is a multiplier of the previous number) is exponential.

But that 95% of streamers also like just put a couple of hours into it, no? Or just turn Twitch on while they're playing without actually doing anything. The question is, out of the ones trying to make a living as a creator what rati

I’m actually from India, and since the pandemic started it’s been quite an equaliser. I work for companies in the US, and since I stay up late I can manage a lot of time zone overlap. And I get paid nearly (not 100%, but close) of US salari

GH Enterprise is run on your own servers, so you'd theoretically run it right in the office. It may not move the needle on actual downtime, but there's some control in the downtime - if the LAN is out no one can work anyway, and u

John Siracusa had a diagram linked here that shows the die for M1 Max, and says the ultimate desktop version is basically 4 M1 Max packages. If true, that’s a 40 core CPU 128 core GPU beast, and then we can compare to the desktop 280W Ryzen

I don't have the data, but because this idea I'm curious to know what the crime rates are per capita in countries that mandate military training for the entire population. I think Israeli people (both men and women) do mandatory m

So it's pretty easy to hate on criminals or jackasses, and they do get hated on already, even if they're rich. And we throw them in prison if at all possible under the current laws. The premise of the article seems to be the disco

Looking at individuals adds detail and concreteness that makes it difficult to hate on or criticise. Bezos, Musk, Gates, even Thiel etc are just as human as we are. We could have done the things they did, but we didn't. Our children co

Dave Chapelle has an interesting take/joke on gun control: get everyone who can legally buy a gun to buy one. If the people you don't like (outgroup / different race) also benefit from the same "freedoms" you hold

He pointed out his own mistakes or shortcomings a bit. Like his addition of a cosmological constant which I think he said was regrettable - he probably hoped for a more elegant solution he couldn’t grasp. And I think he wanted quantum mecha

Yeah, I’m actually curious if there’s a new major release or feature launch that I missed. I keep tabs on the project, didn’t think anything new suddenly happened.

Best example of current usage that comes to mind (outside of AWS’s own Lambda & Fargate) is Fly.io - they they use Firecracker for all the containers.

All of my Apple laptops (maybe even all their products) see about 5 to 8 years of service. Sometimes with me, sometimes as hand-me-downs. So they’ve been pretty excellent at not winding up in the trash. Even software updates often stretch a

No, they're both very short term wins for companies, which means they might happen anyway. Cloudflare has demonstrated ethical behaviour so far, but that's not enough to trust a single part with the internet. Short of the new age

Relatively, yes. They've now managed to support double digit configs across two CPU architectures, so from a throwing-stones-at-the-QA-team point of view it is a lot of work. Definitely don't think System76 has that big a QA team,

The article makes no mention of the Cloudflare's enterprise networking tools, and its VPN. Cloudflare is basically in a position to run the internet for most people to buy into it - I have their VPN on my phone and computer, which gets

PopOS is marketed as a general purpose distro, same as Ubuntu. Made by System76, but don't think they're claiming it doesn't work anywhere else. They're under no obligation to test it on Dell machines, of course. The com

Yup. Trying to solve security and control with the same hammer is going to get them in trouble. If I make a calculator app, it’s fine to review it and make sure it’s secure, but to tell me that there’s too many calculator apps (or worse rej

That’s probably why Google added the 24h cap, so you don’t get used to the machines being around all the time. Bit like a forced chaos monkey.

No, all clouds must overprovision their datacenters to handle sudden peak demand. Everybody doubles or tripes their clusters around the holiday season or shopping festivals, for example. For the other 350 days of the year, this capacity oft

They can, and these are already multi core operations. If takes 4 cores 100ms to do this operation, so on a server with 4 cores doing a 100 of them takes 10 seconds, while on lambda it takes only 0.1 seconds to to them all in parallel.
