Yes somewhat harmful to the environment but not as harmful to the environment as a nuclear war.

I feel we as a species need to get better at weighing up the costs of our action or inaction, making hard choices rather than everyone just fighting blindly for one half of the equation. /rant

Reading the comments there feels more like targeting a community rather than a real inconvenience.

Some of the example -

> thanks man, i thought my pc was infected with an indain virus. sounds like its not only me ....

> İ sicked of fucking indi*n videos on youtube.

> This is so true, I totally hate those indian video

I feel that the real problem is understanding the Indian accent.
You would sadly have to find your way through the Twitter "thread" to fully understand.

Someone at Docker and someone at Razer both copy-pasted the same faulty code from Stack Overflow for preventing multiple instances of their program running at once. Unfortunately the code took the assembly identifier and called GetType() on it which returns the same value for all programs.

The Stack Overflow answer was later fixed but since the programmers no doubt both felt they'd "solved" the problem, they didn't see the fixed answer.
This doesn't seem like the best news, considering all the action that's gone on at GCP in the past couple of months. However, looking at the revenue numbers, I can't see Google closing the business with almost $9bn coming in last year. That said, it would take a lot for me to move my stuff to GCP.

I've been a 10x developer compared to my yesterday self.

I needed to add a feature that required a big rewrite of my framework. This would take maybe 2 weeks.

The next day I realized I could support that exact same user benefit with only a few lines of code.

Sometimes just looking at the problem differently, or sleeping over it can have a huge impact, not only compared to other developers, but also to yourself.

I run my sites, all static on a VPS, but I do the authoring in a single multi-site wordpress install and use 'Simply Static' plugin to publish the result. The benefits are pretty awesome:

heaps of templates (because I'm often lazy), 1 stop shop for patches, locked down plugins (child sites can't install plugins, only enable/disable), and only one place to look for problems (& you can lock the wordpress site to a single IP if you always want to use it from a single place).

FWIW, I never groked AWS & it's ping times in my country are about 1/2 as good as local providers. (15-30ms for local, vs 50-100ms for AWS local). Speed matters.

Also, my use case is to 'fall over' (meaning: fail/stop working/be unresponsive) wrt DDOS, whereas I know many here are 'must not fail' (with varying levels of acceptability). So, I write concise, low bandwith consuming websites that appear instantly (to my local market users).
In the UK it mostly was increased prices, coupled with free smoking cessation services, and with changes in law to make smoking illegal inside many buildings (workplaces, shops, pubs, cafés etc).

Vaping was useful to move remaining smokers to different nicotine delivery mechanisms.
False dichotomy. You can still have stuff penalties for leaking PII.
I was kind of disappointed with this. I may be misunderstanding this but essentially it seems to use machine learning to identify body parts and then just plasters over the background. Now what I would have expected from a 'complex video' would at the least be a moving camera - in which case you actually have to build a model of the environment ala GuaGAN and generate from it.
Relax and keep your emotions in check. They are not irrationally scared of Indians, they are annoyed that Indian videos are flooding their feeds, they want different content and that is common sense in this context. If the Indian videos were if sufficient quality the problem would be somewhat tempered, but they are not of sufficient quality to overcome their inappropriate placement.

Yes, I wondered if s/he is. Measured response, if so. It's a good extension and works well in combination with uBlock Origin to curb some of YT's excesses. The latest redesign makes life more difficult, though. Previously there were ways to block categories. Now, everything blends together and when the blocklists get large, pages get sluggish (as is to be expected.)

I only search YouTube with Google video search as YouTube's built-in search always seems to be delivering much less relevant results for me.

Google Search seems to ignore the user's preferred language choice from the HTTP Accept-Language header and (for a not logged-in user) default to whatever can be inferred from the IP address/location but at least this behavior can be overriden.
> Relax and keep your emotions in check.

I don't think it's medically possible for me to relax more than I am right now without losing consciousness, thanks.

> They are not irrationally scared of Indians,

The term "phobic" doesn't just mean "irrationally scared", it also refers to cognitive distortions and feelings of contempt.

> they are annoyed that Indian videos are flooding their feeds,

The fact that the content is low quality or in a language the viewer doesn't understand is orthogonal to the people who made the video being Indian. Focusing on that fact instead of the actual problem shows a racial and/or national discriminatory motive and should be addressed.

> they want different content and that is common sense in this context. If the Indian videos were if sufficient quality the problem would be somewhat tempered, but they are not of sufficient quality to overcome their inappropriate placement.

Only "somewhat" tempered?
You're being downvoted, and you're correct.

The single most important thing they did to turn the tide against smoking, to create a strong disincentive, was to make it a lot more expensive of a habit. Cigarettes used to be inexpensive when I was growing up in the 1980s. Now you'll nearly spend a car payment on just a pack per day. Chain smoker? There went your rent for the month.

Chinese men are the most voracious smokers in human history, they consume nearly half of all cigarettes smoked on the planet. They don't know cigarettes are bad for them? Of course they do. The imagery would make little difference unto itself. Smoking hasn't been made wildly expensive in China yet, that's the single biggest issue. It's also not enough of a socially excluding behavior yet in China; the party could take care of that if they wanted to (they will eventually, it will be a health & social wellness thing they aggressively focus on in the future; they allow it for now, for obvious reasons, as a placative).

The second most important thing authorities did to curb smoking, was the imagery & information campaign. That has been quite successful, it's distinctly branded as an ugly, nasty, killer, social excluding taboo habit now.

The third most important thing the authorities did, is push regulations such that smokers became quasi socially excluded and couldn't easily smoke anywhere considered a public space and at work. They added friction to the smoking process, making it a far bigger hassle.

The recipe was: much higher cost, persistent information campaign, added friction, social exclusion.

> Why does Google allow this ad?

The most simple explanation is because they make money with it, and get away with it. A good question is why they get away with it.

As for people in The Netherlands, my mother got scammed by a fake locksmith. He asked her to pay with PIN, and he did not fix the problem (which we found out eventually). Total scumbag, yet he was first hit on Google. Here's some good advice on how to find a good locksmith (slotenmaker) in Dutch [1].

Genetic algorithms might have fallen out of favour recently but I don't think anyone would exclude them from AI as a category. The field in my experience has always contained a lot of planning and inference which you seem to be excluding.
Nothing. The screenshot is meaningless. The story is in the twitter comments underneath.

> Both programs want to ensure you only run one copy of themselves. So they create a global mutex using the GUID of their .NET assembly, right?

> So what happens is that both of them are creating a global mutex to ensure only one copy runs, but instead of basing the GUID on their own code, they're both using the GUID of a part of .NET itself.
> And they're using the same one!

> Back in 2009, the user "Nathan" asked how to get the GUID of the running assembly.
Twelve minutes later, "Cerebrus" answered. And that answer was wrong.

Thanks for the link. A lot of helpful stuff on that page.
I personally know some of the Talent partners hired at this firm and they are A+ people with amazing candidate rolodexes.
Sorry I don't understand what you're saying here. Could you please elaborate ? (It might help to clarify who the different instances of they and them are referring to.)
I must be missing something about this.

I mean, we have a bunch of designs that were tested and then mass produced. Many thousands of them, altogether.

They do need regular maintenance, of course. Such as replacing stuff that decayed, and stuff that got damaged by the radiation, or just air oxidation and whatever.

So what's the "designing" for? I find it hard to imagine that they'd be making substantive changes without any actual testing. Because they'd have no way to really know.

And conversely, I find it hard to imagine why we need to improve them. They're already too powerful to actually use on the Earth.

So doesn't the increased uncertainty outweigh some marginal increase in efficiency or power or whatever?
That doesn't change the argument. If their products get scammed after clicking an ad, people will learn not to click ad links, and Google loses their product.
I'm from India, I upvoted this submission when it had 1 point.

I've only gone through the ones I could see on the first page, I personally think that OP and a lot of the people there are just frustrated with their Youtube search results and there's a lot more hate for Google's apparent callousness there than for India or Indian creators.

> But how some of the commenters choose to express their thoughts comes across more as "I hate people from India" than "This is inconvenient".

There's always gonna be those people in every single community. I found the page hilarious, wonder if I've become desensitised.
LR absolutely has datasets and training. You train a regression model in much the same way as you train any other ML model, DNNs included - you use some data to derive its parameters, use the rest to validate.

LR typically has number of layers = 1, though I bet someone imaginative enough could create "deep linear regression", if that was useful for anything.
No problem. As a person of Indian origin, I feel somewhat guilty for glomming my own filtering questions on that Github thread. But, I continue in my quest to block YT's recommended pop music videos by any means necessary. I have my own visceral reactions to things... O for a Vevo -> /dev/null filter
Sarcasm Alert - Hey, as an Indian I am tired of American English videos. The accent is so bad, I can't understand anything!!

Btw, it looks like a good problem to solve. It is not easy to ML millions of videos to identify spoken language, but I guess google already has means to do it as they provide closed caption.

I've seen projects in the pipeline for years, convinced by the considerable marketing, on spurious vague promises for even relatively basic requirements fail completely.

I noticed this on Youtube: i keep getting more and more Indian Videos, for reasons unknown to me. I am not really "pissed off" by this, but a lot of these videos are just hard to understand for me, so it feels like a bad UX for me.

What really annoys me is that Google in general is pushing German content into my face, despite the fact that my OS, my browser-settings, my Google profiles and my search queries are 100% English. Just the fact that i am physically located in Germany seems to be enough for them.

I started switching to Google-alternative products almost 1.5 years ago because i am tired of them.
I'm assuming the poster is searching for videos in a niche IT area. Whenever I'm digging into a computer science topic I get tons of Indian videos. They're in English with a thick Indian accent. If you are able to understand the accent they're actually decent videos.
Ha, stackoverflow is a great tool, but... the more answers I see on an area I’m experienced in, the more I realize how wrong they can be. Sure, the answer usually gets the job done, but everything else about it might not be right.

If I need to use stackoverflow, these days I make sure I do a few things:

- read a number of answers, comments included. Just because an answer is accepted doesn’t mean it’s the best one

- read API docs for anything I’m unfamiliar with, and make sure I understand how the solution works

- never copy paste; instead use the general idea or concept to rewrite a solution in a safe, future proof manner

- if an answer works but doesn’t feel like the right solution, be prepared to do my own research to find a better approach

Hopefully this results in a better engineered product, but one of the main benefits is learning and expanding knowledge of APIs/techniques.

Do you really think the only thing the bank does to log people on is to check the username and password? Banks are way more sophisticated than this and it goes well beyond merely string-matching credentials; there's all sorts of other environment, behavioral and heuristic patterns used to establish legitimacy. Even if you rose this issue with the bank, they'll hardly change their modes of operation, and you certainly won't ever see a bank telling you how they do it, but those "hidden security features" make a significant contribution to the bank's security posture; ie: https://twitter.com/mbna/status/1016270694299127809?s=20

This article really resonates with me: I'm currently working on bootstrapping an applied AI service and faced most of the challenges mentioned, to the point where I was doubting myself as I was not as efficient or productive as other Saas / Software founders. So this article is kind of reassuring to me.

A few more comments:

Cloud infra
For a traditional web app you can quickly deploy it on a cheap AWS on Heroku VM for a few dollars/mo and later scale as you get more traffic. With AI you now need expensive training VMs. There are free options such as Google Collab but it doesn't scale for anything else than toy projects or prototyping. AWS entry point GPU instance (p2.xlarge) is at $0.900/hour i.e. $648/mo, and a more performant one (p3.2xlarge) at $2160/mo. Yes, you should shut them down when you are done with training but still. You can also use spot instances to reduce cost but it's not straightforward to set up.

For inference, you also need a VM with enough memory for your model to fit in, so again an expensive VM from day one.

Datasets
if you rely on a publicly available dataset, chances are there are already 10 startups doing the same product. In order to have a somewhat unique and differentiated product, you need a way to acquire and label a private dataset.

Humans in the loop
The labeling part is very tedious and costly both in terms of time and money. You can hire experts or do it yourself at great cost, or you can hire cheap outsourced labor who will deliver low-quality annotations that you will spend a lot of time controlling, filtering, sending back, etc.

For inference, depending on your domain, even with state-of-the-art performance you may end up with say 90% accuracy, ie 1 angry customer out of 10. that's probably not acceptable, but it gets worse: chances are you will attract early-adopter customers who are faced with hard cases, whose current solution doesn't work so that's why they want to use your fancy AI in the first place. In that context, your accuracy for this kind of customer might actually be much worse. So again you need significant human resources to control inferences in production. It will be hard to offer real-time results, so you may have to design your product to be async and introduce some delay in responses, which is maybe not the UX you initially had in mind.

I still think there are tremendous opportunities in applied AI products and services, but it's important to have these challenges in mind when planning a new product or startup.

Violent crime is also a grim reality we all have to live with, even if things are as a whole improving (statistically).

> I found the page hilarious, wonder if I've become desensitised.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe it can come in handy (e.g. easier to remain calm in a bad situation). I hope neither of us ever has to find out.
This obviously doesn't scale

That’s not true though. What you mean is that the economics of moderation are not convenient to achieving your desired outcome. YouTube for example could easily afford to review uploaded content before publishing it. They just wouldn’t make as much profit as they would like to.
True, but it’s been like that for a long time with the A/B class. It’s quite surprising - I can’t think of another brand that has such a wide quality differential between the low end models and the mid range (let alone high end).
AWS is not the safest choice
Until Reddit decides your community is not OK and will quarantine you like https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/ or outright ban you like https://www.reddit.com/r/watchpeopledie

Self moderation only works up to a certain extend.
Nuclear weapons are deterrents.. The goal is for them never to be used. If they didnt actually work at all that would be great. That would just be a layer of safety in case in some catastrophic turn of events they accidentally got used.
The picture would mostly be a hand obscuring anything under it. I am not sure how that would be useful?
Well, to me, people care by showing up on time.

They care by solving problems.

They care by being there when the team needs them.

They care by being honest, authentic and candid.

They care by making things simpler and smoother for themselves and those around them.

They care by striving to avoid office politics and back stabbing.

They care by being the team mate we all wish we had and strive to be.

They care making our common working space a place we are all eager to come to in the morning.

And I would pick a reliable, self-aware, well-rounded, face tattooed, green haired and barefoot colleague that's comfortable in their own skin any day, over any well-dressed, high maintenance, drama king / queen.

What's interesting though, is that even knowing, and thinking that, I couldn't help but be spontaneously biased towards he or she who made the so-called effort of dressing to look the part. And that's a problem.

Also, I am nowhere near being that ideal team mate. More like a work in progress >.<'
The article points out that Brussels are alright making regulations around artificial intelligence etc:

"Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is in Brussels lobbying the European Union’s regulators as they form new laws to govern artificial intelligence, content moderation and more"

Does anyone know what they are thinking of doing in this regard? And what problems they are attempting to solve?
