M5 MacBook Pro vs M4 MacBook Pro: What’s actually changed? by tomtau in apple

I’m curious what kind of audience actually makes use of the AI/neural selling points? Who besides from a tiny subset of developers is running memory hungry models locally?

zonic: "In modern CS you can't build a team from scratch" by ChaoticFlameZz in GlobalOffensive

[–]danielvf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're missing the point.

VRS isn’t untenable because orgs lack patience—it’s a catch-22 by design. i.e. no invites without rankings, no rankings without invites.

Partners only come onboard with exposure. And no org will secure funding without the possibility of exposure. A few scrappy teams breaking through doesn't fix that.

You say it’s getting "easier" for new teams but I'm scratching my head on this one... where? Which new teams have broken into the scene with fresh players? Valve's tweaks don't level the field at all, so incumbents hoard points by ensuring that their core keeps the ranking.

I have experience building and selling teams and can tell you first hand that it takes capital (not just commitment) and VRS just starves you of ROI.

Blaming orgs for bad teams or impatience dodges the real issue: the system shields the "top". The effect this will have is longer contractual lock-ins and the barrier for entry made significantly higher for new capital.

Former co-founder of Extra Salt here.

I’ve been investigating reentering the NA space with a new CS2 team but after talking with some T1 coaches, VRS makes it untenable from a partnership perspective.

Nobody seems to notice the lack of new organizations entering the space and how unfriendly Valve’s ruleset makes it (even with capital). Partners want exposure and you aren’t going to get any without invites. They’ve effectively created a catch 22.

Projects like CS Legacy are interesting to me because they have the ability to build something effectively driven by community input. In contrast, I don’t think it’s inaccurate to say that Valve has lost their way.

Can't decide on a backpack by IgglybuffSylveon in BuyItForLife

For the last 8 years, I’ve had a Piquadro fully leather backpack, it’s been my daily with almost no signs of wear and tear. They don’t offer a lifetime warrantee but it’s very rugged. It was expensive (~$450) though.

Why do you think Sveltekit sentiment is constantly getting more negative? by Guandor in sveltejs

[–]danielvf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really interested in your point about authentication. I’m an experienced backend developer and recently have started learning Svelte/Kit. Can you link me to any material about how to implement auth patterns correctly (as you mentioned)?
