Can you say more about the API calls, what would that be exposing of the user? I think it's difficult since most new apps are using Electron, or V8 scaffolds... but really nice idea

Sorry, you are def right; could you expand a bit on how -what you mention- works? How come that by having a mobile turned off is in itself a tracking point?

A thousand percent.

- Rust was a bit memetic.

- Blockchain had more of a sceptic tone to it.

- But ChatGPT, is really different.

You have posts on how to use it better, how it's so good that it may turn against us, and things built on top of it. I don't think this is going to stop. Especially with the pace that OpenAI has shown by shipping GPT-4, updating the models, plugins, and so on. They may be fine-tuning GPT-5 right now.

Haven't read any comment that points to a user actually trying it; does someone have a link? Or has tried it?

There's already some work to that direction with cloudflare workers... but I really differs on why people would look for that; in a bit more convoluted case, for example, it would be destined for browsing nested pages of instagram, facebook, reddit, and so on... so it's bit difficult to that, especially with things that require auth...

much more a coordination problem that an engineering one

The browser fingerprint is so crazy... I don't understand how they don't regulate this shit.

Yep, I thought so too. I do find it strange that they've logged me out... probably some SPA thingy? It's also close to them releasing the algo, so there exists the possible event of a bug, but I think it's unlikely...

1. belated april fools' joke?

2. hacked? they've also logged out many users.

3. too many drugs within top management that they ain't able to distinguish funny for cringe?

4. Probs, pumping fake digital money aka dodgycoin? related: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/01/elon-musk-seeks-to-end-258-b...

New comment by AccountAccount1 in "Ask HN: Is a back end worth $35/mo?"

AccountAccount1 — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 17:42:00 +0000

Yes.

A backend most definitely is worth 35 mere dollars. Though (you guessed it) it depends. It depends what you are going to do with it since maybe you can get a static site with a JSON shipped to the client and usually achieve similar results.

But, consider that by buying the cloud service you get: - database - probably a server with their hosted thingy (maybe a node.js server) - maybe some monitoring microservices as well

The question is then, - Does the time of setting the stuff up yourself, and the probable issues that come with it -- are they worth the marginal 15 dollars? This questions gets you the answer.

(Not to mention that some images of supposedly OSS microservices usually are different that their cloud service.)

That's the guy behind Kick... it's honestly hilarious he lives in this kind of contradiction which is very interesting to see from the outside.

The thing is that it's super close to the migration of various streamers (some with a very high viewership) to a new platform. Though I also take it a bit at face value, in the sense of he was waiting for this and tired of all the shit that comes with Twitch.

I want to highlight another point of this post:

"I just finished listening to a podcast about Lena Dunham. I didn't know anything about her, have never seen any of her work and maybe never will."

This is something I do regularly, I listen to interviews/conversations of people that have nothing to do with what I do, and let me tell you: I learn a ton... I really, really recommend it...

Honestly, it's not that surprising... from an outsider, Twitch has been incredibly mismanaged in the way that they treat their content creators. And now that Youtube is robust enough to allow streaming (also with the features that streaming has) it's catching up to them.

The most curious is the alienation of creators which were raking up like 60k viewers per stream by the threat of banning. If you have ever seen one of these streams, the creators are so limited in what they can do.

Another shock was this new Kick platform which is managed by a creator itself, and apparently is doing quite well on the surface (wondering how their balance sheet looks) but I think this is what Twitch needs: a creator at the wheel.
