OpenAI Invites for It’s Scholars Program, It Will Pay $10K per Month
Yes, but not to your creators. Google's description is vague, but my impression is YT Premium revenue (after google's cut) goes into a big pool and is split up among all creators: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6306276#YouTube_Re... So your creators are getting paid by watch time, but not all of your $10 is going only to creators you watch.

"Live well. It is the greatest revenge" --Talmud
“Letting it go to feel better”, in my opinion, is also an accounting, some self-objectifying robot maintenance. It is strange that people find it hard to imagine how to forgive without receiving anything back.

For one thing, I seriously doubt I'm in position to judge “growth” of other people.
> All the current music AI projects give results which may sound “good“ to a casual listener, but they sound horribly wrong to any educated listener

I think you're right, in that AI won't be able to create deeper themes and patterns, but I disagree with the above point: AI will take over the music industry because the vast, vast majority of people aren't educated listeners. The popularity of 6six9ine is a fantastic example.

To put it another way, I don't need another Terry Riley, Clint Mansell, or Meredith Monk, I just need something good enough to occupy some brainspace while I drive home after work; a move soundtrack just needs something sad, or exciting, or tension building. The AI can and will get there soon enough.
I buy the premise of extending breadboards for actual applications apart from testing circuits.

I recently made a butt triggered pomodoro timer[1], where I had to keep a trigger under... my butt, after messing with velostat and its unreliable resistance; A simple momentary button on a 170 pin breadboard served the purpose! So breadboards of different form factors as physical objects would indeed help to accelerate prototyping.

Yes, but there are vanishingly few people who pay for it, IME. It's maybe 3% of the revenue I get on my channel.
This case is more like If someone came in and asked you to print pornography and you did it for them but refused others because you didn’t like their type of porno.
It would be hard to provide a seamless UX for it, so it would reduce purchases.
One of the nice things about the verbosity is that it's really easy to read. I've been working with code from the late 90's for some aircraft and it makes it really easy to review and get into the code (when well-written). The other thing is that the strong types are really powerful. If Ada compiles, then the only things that you have to worry about is if your logic is right or if you remembered to init an array.
You can also just propagate a uuid throughout your system. I've used both uuids and opentrace. Just don't get hung up if opentrace seems too complex.
It will not stick and is easily reversible, but I am guessing that if I have the info to direct deposit to your account then in the US I also have enough info to generate fake ACH transactions. It really makes no sense to me though because banks are all over check kiting schemes like this and never let you move the money out of the destination account before someone at the originating bank has reversed the transaction.
That is a good point. I have seen Strava prefer a higher traffic road near me and I then manually adjust that portion. It would be cool if Strava could provide some sort of "Avoid vehicle traffic" preference when route building.

Technically they're polynomial-time many-one reductions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-one_reduction

But in practice I think people usually just call them "reductions".
Deposit information in the US is account number + routing number, which is all that is required to pull funds from an account. Amusingly, this is also the information printed at the bottom of every check you use.
deposit information == withdrawal information, and consent to withdraw is often contained in the fine print of direct deposit agreements
The information you need to deposit money into an account (Name, bank account number, sort code) is almost all you need to withdraw money from an account by setting up direct debits or similar.

See for example, Clarkson: https://www.theguardian.com/money/2008/jan/07/personalfinanc...

It also seemed a bit on the side of blaming the victim. It seemed, at least to me, to try very hard to walk the line to try to empower people by saying it isn't their fault you're a victim, it's your fault you're a victim and there's power in that. That seems to pull accountability away from the responsible parties. Though, admittedly, I am biased.

As martyrdoms go, being downvoted is pretty tolerable. Beats being shot or tortured. Heck, even missing out on job opportunities is not really that big a deal.

(N.b. for those unfamiliar with the term: 'martyr' comes the Greek word μάρτυρ, meaning 'witness.' The modern secondary meaning 'suicide murderer' is … something else entirely.)
How will they determine what counts as "news"? Are there be significant penalties if whatever algorithm they come up with to decide what counts as "news" has any false negatives? If so, that might make "stop showing news" an unworkable approach.
They probably found a way to impersonate them or through some clause buried in the small print...
This is the nerdiest sentence I’ve seen today. Dang!
But you're not free until you deal with the PTSD, and a trite "I forgive you" is absolutely no help with this. Nor is pretending to everyone - including yourself - that you're just fine with the past when you really aren't.

Worse, it implies a social pressure to "just deal with it" which is completely inappropriate and can be actively harmful.

Good therapists and good therapy can help a lot. The modality doesn't matter as long as it's clearly being helpful.

But cliches about forgiveness are utterly unhelpful to most people who were exposed to real emotional and psychological harm - whether it was a random drive-by crime, a work situation, a toxic relationship, or dysfunctional family dynamics.
Did you see the Cantor joke/story the AI told in the article? Profound at the least
You can export the archive and put it on your own harddrive if you want, that's what I do, so I have an offline backup of all sites I have bookmarked.
Forgiveness is a tough topic for many who have been hurt, so I expect we'll see many comments along the lines of "what about this?" or "this is unrealistic/too simplistic".

I hope we can be compassionate toward the skeptics in our replies.
Jared Kushner’s Testing Plan “Went Poof into Thin Air”

While digital lending is a great idea and has many justifications, the legal risks are clear.

What is most troublesome is that no one at IA took appropriate action and implemented a corporate separation so that the digital lending enterprise was legally & financially firewalled from The Internet Archive's core mission. (That is exactly what the corporate structures are for.)

Thus, the entire IA mission is now at risk due to this high-risk activity without protection.

I hope they can get it sorted

If they don't, who will back up the Internet Archive?
The idea is that for many problem instances the heuristic solvers can find a solution far more quickly than by exhaustive search, but maybe that wasn't the case for your particular problem.

How far will the recursion go?
Yeah for sure. Just wanted to lay out for other passerby's in the thread that there's nothing forcing people to take medication that they don't think is beneficial for them, or for people who've never seen someone in a frank manic episode that we're unnecessarily medicating all of the next DaVinci's or Einsteins.

Great and thought provoking example. I think you could argue there could be some genetic susceptibility to having a manic episode when placed under stressors like that, meaning potentially there's a relative with bipolar disorder or pretty severe major depressive disorder. I don't think most people would fall into a manic episode when placed in situations like that, but it is impossible to know. In my time rotating in the psych emergency department I saw someone with a similar presentation to Ola. No psychiatric history, stressful event happened, didn't sleep for a few days, came in in frank psychosis, treated with Seroquel, left the next day totally fine. Diagnosis given was brief reactive psychosis. Maybe the same happened for Ola Wong.
Ask HN: Which messaging app would you recommend for privacy and security?
Hi, I'm concerned about security and privacy when I'm messaging to people. Which application would you recommend and why? Thanks!
Let me summarize this for you.

1. Some of them sleep 8 hours, others 5 hours.

2. Some get up at 7am, others at 5am.

Also, that clock visualization is stupid. Since there are 24 hours a day it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Creating a competitor is simple enough, making the video from that platform appear above a video from the YouTube on the Google search is what would determine its fate.

Then again, if anyone can make Google accountable it's EU.
There have been (and still are) many networks among YouTube channels already. Some like Linux Tech Tips have a number of channels and a pretty large team. Others are more corporate and adopt creators as they get popular, but the actual network/org is not as obvious since they kind of act in the background, getting sponsors and distributing funds and services to their affiliated creators.

I just don't see anything off-YouTube as gaining critical mass in the near future though.
> We generate money by serving Google text advertisments on a network of hidden Websites. With this money we automatically buy Google shares. We buy Google via their own advertisment! Google eats itself - but in the end "we" own it!

I thought websites paid Google to have their ads on their ads network. Isn't that how Google makes the bulk of its revenue?

He may not be Aussie any more, but he was born here to a father involved in news media so it's not really a surprise to me that Australia is one of the places he has an iron fist over media. I mean, he ran media here from the 60s to the 80s before renouncing AU citizenship for US in order to make inroads there.

The state of news media in Australia is utterly dire and I cannot wait for Newscorp to collapse.
To be clear, this is about snippets that are displayed and lets users consume the content without ever clicking the link to visit the page?

How is Google normally handling the fact that what they display in excerpts is copyrighted material? Do they just assume their snippet is short enough to be fair use everywhere?

And couldn’t these sites just detect the crawlers and display article bodies that are a smaller, (0-10 words body)?
Reframing the situation from “this happened to me” to “this happened for me” has been the healthiest advice I’ve received for dealing with childhood trauma. It changes the perspective from being a victim to being someone who conquered adversity and used it to (a) not repeat the cycle of abuse, (b) learn about other people and how they can act, and possibly (c) how to be a better person than you otherwise might have been had life been easier.

Depending on your personality the following recommendation may be a huge turnoff, but Tony Robbin’s Netflix documentary “I am Not Your Guru” has a number of examples of reframing situations in this manner.

Good luck and I wish you peace and wellness!
FYI komoot switched to vector maps a while ago.
I generally like it for routing(MTB mostly) but lately they switched to a new (monthly) pricing model for some features I would like to have (difficulty). :-(
Yeah, annoyingly on the web you need to be very careful what click events you prevent. The best practice is to only prevent clicks with no modifiers and check that the mouse button was the one that you intend. (Also avoid handling anything but a left click anyways). Of course the "default" is to block all clicks so it is inevitable that this happens :(

No one wants to go into work so they are having a hard time finding in person employees.

Unless I'm misreading, "and are made on a part of the digital platform service that is set up and able to be edited by the registered news business" suggests this only applies to the news agency's own social media pages. I.E. they wouldn't be able to censor comments on links to their content posted by third parties.
It was I think dual core 1.5 G with a gig an a half of ram. It was an upgrade from 800Mhz Pentium III (this was a long time ago.) So it was doing normal personal computing things: Web browsing, photo manager, mp3 player, email, document editing (mostly latex, inkscape, gimp). I had a keyboard and an external monitor since the thing was too tiny.
GWEI is one of the smartest web.art project i remember.

And I understand, the "new" web is just a boring, commercial and "colorfully" grey. Also, too much JS.
Look at a graph of the spectral power output of the sun, you'll see that it peaks around green.
as far as I'm aware nobody has ever shown this, all analysis I've seen that lead to that conclusion are based on ideas that Google pays Tier 1 provider rates for Youtube bandwidth, which is definitely not true (Google is directly peered with pretty much every ISP on earth)

The recruiting dept of a lot of companies are only pretending that they’re hiring to justify their own existence as long as possible.

I have never spent more than 30 € on a keyboard and mouse combo, and that's over the span of the last 10 years...

I have never peeked over the price wall into the higher end stuff because it genuinely has never occurred to me that my current keyboard+mouse were hindering my productivity.

High contrast screen? Sure, squinting hurts.
Office-cancelling headphones? Sure, loud noises ruin my concentration

But keyboard and mouse have never been am issue... When did you start to suspect that you needed to get a better keyboard?
If the video that is being searched for is removed from YouTube, then there is no YouTube page that could be above the competitor's page.
So, Youtube puts whole streams into their logs? Interesting.
A lot of software engineers waste time re-writing other peoples code or creating something new that is "better" because they didn't like someone's code and the outputs are the same.

I'm going to pick on Javascript as an example, I'm sure there are examples in other areas.

Dynamically loading content in web applications has been supported for almost 15 years [0]. Manipulating the DOM has existed longer than that, remember the browser wars [1]? How many JS frameworks have been invented in that time? How many of those caused a fundamental positive shift in the output vs. just a slightly different way to arrange the symbols and words in a text file?

The concept for a tablet computing device happened in the 1960's at PARC [2].

Maybe reinventing the wheel every few years is holding back our ability to make true leaps forward.

Seeing the same in Ottawa. Big startups are hiring here now. In fact, rates are quickly climbing up here from my observations - from local tech forums & job postings. Amazon & Apple jobs started popping up. Looks like companies are looking at Canada & South America due to the same timezones yet smaller rents.

Good for us, maybe I won't be moving to the states in 3 years like I originally planned.
This is difficult to interpret without the details of the original agreement, which are not mentioned in the post. If google was paying more than the ad revenue on the content, then not extending the agreement would be reasonable.
These are spot on - having fallen victim to all three.

I'll add that, for the tech minded, building is easy in comparison to validating. Just fire up the IDE, write code, and debug. Validating involves putting your idea (and by association, yourself) out there for the world to potentially ridicule... and then trying to convince people to open up their wallets to your idea. Not so easy.
For me, it’s important to fall asleep before 11PM, or sleep quality is just not that good. Going to bed after midnight almost always results in slight fatigue and reduced mental capacity the next day. A few nights of going to bed at 1AM and I start wondering whether my brain will ever work again.
I agree that a country could easily go without Google Search, there's enough competitors in that space and they all do mostly the same thing that people would quickly switch with no issues.

The bigger problem would be Australians giving up YouTube, and to a lesser extent Android if Google Play Services is withdrawn.

There's no real competitor to YouTube, and especially during the virus where everyone's at home with nothing to do going without it would be a major pain point for many Australians. The country wouldn't collapse but it would be a big deal.

That's all assuming Google withdraws entirely from the country of course.
I think you are forgetting that Google has to put the ads somewhere. Some websites do pay for ads but those go on other websites as well.
Very confusing numbers:

> Amount of USD: 405.413,19

Is that ~$405 or ~$405413?

What about the hosting costs?
They already "pay money" to develop and maintain it, you think it has zero value for them? It is a loss leader to keep you stuck on the Google brand and make Google the default for every type of search. That has enormous value. And this probably applies to Google search as well. They will just simply fight this until it goes away, because it will have implications for all other content, because why would news be special? What about blogs? What about any other original content?

But I think this could be bad for competition too. How can someone enter the market for search if you have to jump through so many hoops? Google will try to work a deal that works well for them and tries to lock out competition as well by making the startup cost high.

My hope is that it ends up forcing them to be more friendly to publishers in how they send them traffic and how they appropriate their content. But I don't think money should change hands to let them use the content.
I've spent a lot of time meditating on mood. I'm highly skeptical of drugs as a tool to produce lasting euphoria. Producing long-lasting euphoric states through meditation eventually creates a state of mind I call 'hollow'. You're happy, but there's an undercurrent of loneliness.

I'm completely not surprised about the patient that sank into hoarding and squalor while remaining euphoric. That's precisely what happens, one's state of mind, if it is disconnected from their environment, removes your attention from said environment. Drug addicts do similarly. Since you're not paying attention, your ability to relate to others plummets and eventually your sense of self is supported by this one thing, and it becomes an addiction all on its own.

Humans are just rats, emotionally. If you live in a cage, providing a lever that makes you happy about it doesn't take you out of the cage.

Unlike rats, humans can make the choice to put themselves into a virtual cage with a virtual morphine lever.

Wireheading will certainly become a thing in the future, and it will undoubtedly raise some people's standard of living. There are people that live worse than caged rats.

That depends on what you are building with the language. There are a lot of use cases outside web apps in Python. The majority of them, I'd argue.
Both your and the parent's sentiments are so on-point. And they're one of the reasons I don't like ORMs or the use of in-app constraint checking. The mid-Aughties rise of CRUD-focused frameworks that treat the database as a sidecar to the web app ignored as inconvenient the full power of an RDBMS, in part because MySQL was the not-full-RDBMS that they were often paired with.
Advertisers pay Google, which then pays publishers (people who own websites) to have the ads displayed on their sites. This display ad network was largely established when Google bought DoubleClick, and should not be confused with Google's search ads (where ads are displayed in Google's own search results).
