bootloop··on FFmpeg is getting multithreaded transcoding pipelines
> "multi-threading it's not really all about just multi-threading - I will say more about that later - but that is the marketable term"

That's whats said in the video at least in the first 10 seconds so it might be that multi-threading is just a too trivial term for the work here. (But haven't watched the video yet so just an observation.)

bootloop··on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions
Very nice to hear that they are able to provide good support to you. I don't work with AMD but other SoC vendors and this is always a bit of a challenge (The Q on how important you are to their business / bottom line).
bootloop··on Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions
How was the experience from not being acknowledge by AMD, because you were not big enough, to going to be the first once shipping their new flagship laptop CPU after all their other customers moved their timeline out? I imagine their willingness to support you did increase in the last few months?

Eagerly awaiting my batch to ship. Very happy that I see a great team being in charge of this product.

Also thanks for being proactive in supporting the Linux community.

bootloop··on Ask HN: How do I code offline for a week?
Tell me that in the real world, if you ask a question, you will get only answers and no opinions.

Internet is the same. You ask and someone made the effort to voice their opinion on something and you have to put the effort into figuring out if they would fit your situation. If not, continue on.

bootloop··on OSS Game Engines are increasing their stars on GitHub due to Unity's missteps
Look, Unity did have performance improvements in some aspects over the years but their output / productivity was really really really poor in the last 3 years related to their core product, the Engine.

This is the reason people were already fed up with it, this license change just pushed some over the top.

The trajectory of this project is not good at the moment and that is as much of a problem for users as the recent events.

I started a project 3 years ago and none of the features I based it on shipped with production quality in the meanwhile (and that was the assumption when going in back then, that this will eventually be fixed while development of the game was going on).

Godot is certainly not optimal, that is what people are discussing. The C# and expert userbase was missing. But the fact that people are raising these points meens that they see it worth to comment on. If Godot leadership takes the hint, they might bring their project to a trajectory which allows serious projects to give it a shot. So this time now will be critical. For both, Unity and their competitors.

I think none of the conversations and comments put out there are surprising. But I would argue that if people already had the motivation to switch, they might just go to Unreal if Godot gives them not enough performance. Or stay with Godot if their project is simple enough to be not effected.

bootloop··on Data accidentally exposed by Microsoft AI researchers
This is quite funny for me because at first I didn't understand what the problem is.

In German, if you ask this question, it is expected that your question is genuine and you can expect an answer (Although usually people don't use this opportunity to unload there emotional package, but it can happen!)

Whereas in Englisch you assume this is just a hello and nothing more.

bootloop··on Game developers turning off all IronSource and Unity Ads monetization
Godot 4 is Vulkan (and I believe the plan is/was to add OpenGL ES3 back at some point)
bootloop··on Unity plan pricing and packaging updates
It's per install not per user! If your user installs it 5 times over the course of 2 years it already eats 10% of the game gross revenue. And it just keeps going..
bootloop··on OpenAI CEO Sam Altman First Person to Get Indonesian Golden Visa
No income tax for individuals.
bootloop··on NASA detects 'heartbeat' signal from Voyager 2 after losing contact
Is there any sience they still so on this thing? As I understood it they are running out of power to run instruments?
bootloop··on Show HN: The full source code and assets for my custom game engine and game
Any idea what you would have to do to get it running on iOS?

Did you release it? If so, how is it doing compared to your expectations? (I looked for it on the Play store but couldn't find it)

bootloop··on The GMP library's repository is under attack by a single GitHub user
It's the reason you get random build failure notifications and warning emails that your (free) credits are running out, etc..

Took me a while to figure out what happened the first time I ran into this.

bootloop··on €1.2B GDPR fine for Meta
The intelligence services are not advocates for privacy laws.
bootloop··on €1.2B GDPR fine for Meta
> May not be a bad thing overall, especially for local players and for national sovereignty evangelists

Yep, especially if they have to play by different rules and have different values then the companies they try to compete against.

bootloop··on Matter 1.1 release – Enhancements for developers and devices
What do you expect from that?
bootloop··on Matter 1.1 release – Enhancements for developers and devices
The Matter spec requires you to support multiple color-spaces. It is indeed a dumped down UI by whatever vendor (Google, Apple etc.) is used to control them.
bootloop··on Matter 1.1 release – Enhancements for developers and devices
A singleton application stack that is. A bit too much and not enough at the same time.
bootloop··on StarCoder and StarCoderBase: 15.5B parameter models with 8K context length
The biggest interest I have in this, is that I would like to have the ability to ask questions about large code-bases. I think being able to generate small functions or explain single code sections is nice, but being able to ask bigger architectural questions would be really helpful for all kind of engineers (in particular in a large company).

I have seen approaches with merging context across multiple levels. But that can only do so much. Is it viable to fine-train a model to a specific code-base so it has knowledge across all files? Does anyone have more info on this kind of problem space?

There is a part 3 and 4: https://tinkerings.org/2020/12/25/roman-dodecahedrons-part-i...
bootloop··on Lactic Acid Bacteria as Markers for the Authentication of Swiss Cheeses
From what I can see on videos I highly doubt that American cheese is actually something in Europe that would be considered cheese. :X
bootloop··on Why is OAuth still hard in 2023?
And once you realize you actually want OpenID Connect and none of the OAuth 2.0 features, you stumble about the fact that OpenID is not what you want because they just share a name... Where was I again ???
bootloop··on Sony backs Raspberry Pi with fresh funding, access to A.I. chips
Overall I agree. But these companies would have scalped any free supply on the market anyway so I don't think there was any way to avoid the outcome.
bootloop··on Ask HN: Tell me about how you bombed a technical interview
Google Interview after my first university year for a masters internship (might not have been the best idea in the first place).

Got asked how to manipulate a collection, showed the interviewer 10 different ways how to do something, each time a bit different as he rephrased the question to get me to the result he actually wanted to see (I knew what it was but tried to be snarky, if that's the right word).

Actually fucked up the right answer at the end because I lost track in the process...

Also forgot that remove(obj) will actually iterate through the whole list each time it wants to delete an element if the element was added last..

The other interview was even worse because communication was bad.

bootloop··on I don't want streaming music, I just want to stream my music
Did you consider the outgoing traffic in the pricing or just storage?
bootloop··on Apple introduces Apple Pay Later
You don't need an MacBook if you want to be a designer or developer. The premium you pay for Apple products is not an investment.
bootloop··on Apple introduces Apple Pay Later
If you think you need this you certainly shouldn't use it.
bootloop··on Framework Laptop 16
I guess its because they didn't translate the article into french. What I also find confusing is that when you change the language, the controls are still in the original language. I can guess what button is for changing the language but still not a great design.
bootloop··on Qualcomm has open sourced its aptX and aptX HD encoders
They don't, as OP said, its just a feature you only get if you run your SW on their silicon.
bootloop··on Tell HN: Gitlab Premium pricing increases incoming $19 to $29
Personal anecdote: I recently looked at the Gitlab pricing / model, in particular for on-premise hosting, as we came across Gitlab booth at a show. I wasn't very happy with our solution so an alternative would have been really welcome. I was so confused by the many redirects and feature lists on the page that we decided to ask a representative there to explain it to us instead. If I remember correctly the outcome was that if we host it ourselves we pay 100$/person/month.

What surprised me was how surprised the representative was that there is absolutely no way I would be able to convince the CFO to go from 0 to 100$/person a month for a bit of convenience. Apparently, quote: There are many who are happy to pay that. - WHO AND WHY?
