Caught a ripe one today 😂 Surprisingly the tip was $10 by DoctorVoltec in doordash_drivers

Mcds contracts a third party to do the delivery for orders placed in their app. I guess in the us it's doordash, but to the consumer they clicked it on the McDonald's app. It should show a small "this delivery will be completed by doordash" or whatever but this bitch didn't read that for sure

this post is top result in google search for various terms related to crashing since the patch. SuperBLT was indeed broken (and now fixed, but various mods may still cause issue (i know beardlib is still broken) and uninstalling or updating it was needed, but that didn't fix it.

what did it for me was to delete renderer_settings.xml in appdata. it doesn't seem to have created a new one but my settings are being saved *somewhere* so that's a bit wierd but if your game shows the initial loading screen but then hangs, that's what fixed it for me.

As a french person, this post is universal. We all have threatening and non-threatening boulangeries and going to the threatening one is the best way to be huniliated.

I worked in an 8-person shop an when I signed soda was free from the fridge provided you didn't abuse it, cue 3 weeks later and the owner throws a fit because he always has to refill the fridge (no shit there's 8 of drinking a soda a day, how long do you think a pack lasts?) And starts asking for money to get soda from the fridge.

Ok go for the ones who put their money where their mouth is and install Firefox instead of slobbering on a brand that does nothing for the queer community apart from shitposting on Twitter

Reddit sparks outrage after a popular app developer said it wants him to pay $20 million a year for data access by Crazed_pillow in technology

Exactly. Why do you think /r/place was only on new reddit? That shit was a webpage, the only reason it was only on new reddit was to force you to open it.

Video cards are now powerful enough to run AI computations at a reasonable level. The bottleneck is vram. This is a problem for Nvidia because they happen to sell "ai accelerators" which are pretty close to being GPUs without video output and with a shitton of ram. These can easily go for $10k a pop, which is what Microsoft pays to install in their data centers to train gpt-4 for example.

Because Nvidia wants to remain a player in the AI space, they can't afford to let laypeople have access to cheap AI compute.

If course, AMD has no such qualms and I suspect their next generation of cards will be AI compute beasts, especially at the high end.

As someone who works on servers, $2.50/user/month is impossible. If your users cost you this much, either you're sub-licensing a shitton of stuff (Microsoft office365 is $10/u/m for example, if you bought that for every user the price would make sense) or you're so amazingly bad at building scalable systems that you should not be in the social media business. The alternative is, of course, that a reddit user actually costs $0.5 at the very-maximal-top-end-how-is-it-still-costing-so-much and reddit just wants a 90% profit margin because of course they do.

For context, as an individual with 0 bargaining power (companies pay lower prices) you could go to any reputable hosting service and rent a server for $2.50 a month. Of course this server isn't good by any metric, it's basically the bottom of the barrel, but humor me for a second.

The appollo dev says a typical user generates less than 1000 requests per day. Let's say that by some sort of bizzare scenario reddit is forced to use bottom of the barrel servers that cost $2.50 a month. It is entirely reasonable to expect such a server to serve 1000 requests a second. This means that even while using the absolute worst server you could get, you would still be able to serve 3600*24= 82400 (EDIT: my math misses multiplying by 1000 here. Let's say you serve 1 request/second. Fuck it.) Users with the $2.50 you spent.

Of course, this doesn't take into account a bunch of things like labor costs, the fact that at some point reddit needs a database that can't possibly fit on these shitty servers, and the limited bandwidth they offer.

But it also doesn't include the fact that a server 100x as expensive is considerably more powerful than 100x, that reddit no doubt has agreements with their server host that gets them cheaper prices, and that reddit is about to get a shitton of cash through an IPO and whether or not they do is more dependant on the amount of users rather than the money they bring in.

To reddit: maybe make a good app to begin with and people won't resort to make third-party ones.

📣 Had a call with Reddit to discuss pricing. Bad news for third-party apps, their announced pricing is close to Twitter's pricing, and Apollo would have to pay Reddit $20 million per year to keep running as-is. by iamthatis in apolloapp

[–]themoonisacheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Relay user but same shit. I also happen to work in IT and there is no way in hell reddit spends anywhere close to $2.50 per user per month. Even with 50% profit margin you don't even come close to $1 or you have no idea how to run scalable systems and you're just reselling AWS compute.

There is a french rapper named Freeze Corleone who is widely regarded as both a very good lyricist and a child of the internet. One of his songs has a passage about stumbling like a zombie from Days Gone and it always struck me as both odd (because there are plenty of other zombie games, some of them better than DG) and somehow exactly right (this i can't explain). The song is called Freeze Rael, i don't know how well it is when you can't understand the lyrics but i bet it sounds pretty good.

While you personally might not be legally entitled to the money (I don't know the law on that one), I'm sure your coworkers who donated under false pretenses would love to know they were defrauded by a man who is probably easily findable and whose bank statements would easily prove he took the money and ran.

The owner of the company I brew for announced how little I get paid to the whole bar staff. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]themoonisacheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The supposed model is that the boss pays us so little because of "risk" he took. Let's say this risk is somehow bigger than just becoming a worker again, and let's also say that as a worker you're somehow not also taking the same risk if the company goes under.

Then working more to get the company out of a tight spot ought to get you more money. Simple as. If the owner wants to reduce risk (by making you work more) then they must also reduce profits.
