I think you're right, this is a great way to move forward, especially if it's possible to put a bit of distance between the old youtube-dl and the new project.

Hopefully, it wouldn't require as much effort as when a lot of the UNIX utilities were rewritten to get properly licensed versions back in the 80s - I remember a description of how they were rewritten from being cpu-optimized to being memory-optimized to avoid any code similarities.

The trick, I guess, would be to restructure the code so that the new "dl-webvideos" project would be hard to construe as a continuation of the original project.

The other trick would be, that the new solution has to be started fast to avoid losing momentum.

Move parts of the infrastructure to decentralized platforms, like a Matrix chatroom, or mailing lists. Link that on the website. As long as the community keeps together, the rest can move around.
A smartphone has plenty of computing power and the app can be easily updated, giving off more flexibility to interpret raw sensor data. It also removes the need for a battery.

Smartphones make things much easier for the developer.

Maybe the next version will have a display to show the number without a smartphone.
Why should a private insurance company be allowed to skim a profit off this? The government should be on the hook directly, with careers ended when the taxpayer has to compensate these people for their injury.
From what I read earlier the problem is bound up in the solution. Youtube has mechanisms to prevent download of copyrighted content which youtube-dl circumvents deliberately, which is why it works on every video. That's what the unit tests were all about and why they had to use examples of strictly protected copyrighted material.

The only options are to move development to a server located somewhere beyond the reach of the DMCA and similarly take it off all repositories or to give up on making it possible to download every (or even most) videos from youtube.
I've looked at it and it does sound very good.

> “IQ is a thing because they test children on it without warning and without any prep and their performance on these tasks they’ve never seen before in their lives”

I believe this is a myth. There are many ways to prep children for this kind of test, and the wealthy in America have access to an early education system that trains children for standardized tests.

I have anecdotal evidence because I have two children who were raised in different countries. My older child did daycare and preschool in Finland, before we moved to USA. My younger child is now three and in private daycare in Manhattan.

In Finnish daycare, three-year-olds spent their days playing. In affluent New York, they are clearly being trained to perform on tests. I’m not exactly happy about that because I believe the Finnish system creates more balanced individuals on average. But I guess I’ll see the results of this experiment firsthand in 5-10 years.
Maybe a closed ear set that isolates better? Or my personal favorite is in-ear for sound isolation without needing active noise cancellation. I'm not sure what the wireless world for those is like, outside of adapters. I do have a Jabra 75T pair I use with mobile devices, that does some sound isolation and recently added noise cancellation (haven't tried it). Their newer ones have better support for noise canceling (must include a chip for processing).
Co-founder of InsurTechnix here. Our tech helps cyber insurers provide pro-active risk mitigation inside of just financial risk transfer.

My Mom suffered her whole life from manic depression and schizophrenia so I can imagine what the victims of these attacks are going through.

The reason we like cyber insurance as a channel for cyber security is that the insurers have "skin in the game" in because they pay out for incidents.
It is theoretical until you've done it. People who worked on XOrg decided to abandon it and create Wayland. X11 is not good enough for them but is good for you...
Insurance business is risk management in imperfect world. Quantifying the risk and pricing it is their business.
That was just a regular internet connection. Not sure who messed up, but somehow the (dynamic) IP address block the ISP handed out was associated with Iran at that point in time.

Yes it could. Often the well-meaning people who find and report vulnerabilities are the ones who get reported to the authorities.

selinux is at the heart just about labels. If something tries to do something but doesn't have the right label, selinux will block it.

I agree working with selinux is a bit of a PITA but if you learn sealert, ausearch, and/or audit2allow it can severely reduce the pain and allow you to keep selinux enabled. I really like this page personally: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux
My logic is that Facebook is actively manipulating people by the algo's decision on what to show someone in their feed. Plus it tracks everyone everywhere across the internet.

Google just tracks everyone everywhere across the internet.

They are only interesting hoovering up all of the data. Facebook plays with peoples emotions.

So in my chair Facebook > Google in asshattery.

It's very easy to disprove this comment.

Haskell is pure functional language and uses linked lists as their main list data structure. This is because it is difficult to modify individual elements in an array in a purely functional manner without copying the entire array. Meanwhile using arrays in C or Rust and changing individual elements is not only very easy, it's very fast as well.

The default string implementation in Haskell is built on a linked list of characters and it performs horribly, so Haskell has multiple string implementations. The default string implementation is still often used because it is more convenient. This is an example where writing more readable code also involves making it perform worse. Rephrased: Faster code is less readable in Haskell.

I’d prefer it to be explicit. Would be nicer for the really smart poor kids who just miss the genius level required to get in to a Harvard without being rich.

That is clearly a cruel thing to do to a person who has those impulses but never acted on them and seeking therapy to get rid of them. This will erode trust in therapists and make people think twice about seeking professional help.
The victims here are the people who had their information exposed.

And this meme is silly, because more than one person can be at fault in a situation. This binary division of blame simply doesn't deal with the complexity of the real world.

If their security really was that bad--something which has to be proven by more than a random, anonymous rumor--then they should be financially liable for contributing to the situation.
Oh - come on - it starts with: "It's no secret that biomedical research is requiring more and more computational analyses these days, and with that has come some welcome discussion of how to make those analyses reproducible. On some level, I guess it's a no-brainer: if it's not reproducible, it's not science, right? And on a practical level, I think there are a lot of good things about making your analysis reproducible,"

It does not say making research reproducible is not worth it - it just wants one exception - about the figure layout (fonts, colors, etc) and then it argues against using version control which is orthogonal. I don't agree with him that version control is too complicated - but I agree that version control is not really needed for reproducibility.
And that seems to be true with most other gaming/wireless gear. They want you to use their special (or "special") software, typically Windows only.
Certainly we can admit that it is true that "Taleb is wrong about [several] IQ [claims]"?

The article makes no attempt to make any analysis about differences in wealth or education. It is VERY SPECIFICALLY addressing some of Taleb's claims about IQ and is VERY SPECIFIC that that is the goal.

We haven't gone back to the 2000s, it's always been like this. RIAA and copyright as a whole is and always has been a cancer on society---people may have just forgotten about it in recent times.
#1 is the usual definition of perfect pitch, and is the most useful. I have heard #2 and #3 referred to as "pitch memory".
There is also a rare #0, which is the ability to identify pitches that are out of tune by a small number of cents. This is the least useful type of perfect pitch, and can render people unable to truly enjoy music. I know a musician who is like that. To him, everyone in the band is out of tune all the time.
I really just shouldn't have mentioned ad revenue theft at all in the first place, it wasn't that relevant.

I wasn't saying "people who download are thiefs", I was saying "thiefs start by downloading". Then I had to explain what a thief is, and why they really have Y dollars in their account that should have been in producers account. In my other comment the thief is a separate party from the content consumers (so actually there are 6 parties, content consumers is split into those who watch ads and those who download without re-uploading).
It's not a blow if they counter claim and get support to fight these jerks in court. What RIAA did is free PR for the project.

That was my question (author of the article). I don't see any good way to know ahead of time, even if it seems likely. Either you find reports of things working, or you take a guess and buy them. It does seem like most work, but I wouldn't be surprised if some don't, or rely too much on the proprietary software to make things usable.

The people around a set like an actor to be "smart" in the following sense: you show up to work and know your lines, the director or somebody else tells you what to do and you don't need to be told again. You need to be a "quick learner" of the random sorts of skills you need to do your work. As an actor you can outperform the person you become because your lines are written for you, so you can put 100% of your effort into everything else.

I have a somewhat high IQ, I'm good at hard math (I'm sure better than Sly Stallone) and abstract thought and my words/minute rate of writing has been legendary at times, but I struggle as an actor.

Stallone's success had to do with the breakout success of his movie "Rocky", which he wrote. That in turn had to do with convincing other people to take a chance on him and his script, and that gets you into a whole interpersonal area where the role of IQ is really controversial.

If I wrote fiction I'd be dangerously tempted to be like

I am fascinated with how many "Starship(s)" full of ammonia it would take to fill the atmosphere of a small space colony, what you do with the hydrogen and so forth. Stallone is much better at relating to the average person than I am, and that's what makes him a "genius".
You did notice those files are both hosted on the same site, I trust? I suspect the mp4 speaks much more directly to the actual state of mind and beliefs of the creator(s) of the collection. In the context of this conversation (discussing the attitudes of many in the AI community towards privacy and intellectual property rights in training data), that would make the mp4 the more official statement of policy.
Or you could solve this issue by not having this data in the first place. This data is so private and the violation of trust by the system so complete that the trust of most of these people will never be repaired.

You don't need secure data vaults, you need LESS DATA. And anything you can't deal with seeing published, think VERY long and hard if it is absolutely necessary to have it. Even when it is necessary, is there any reason at all for not having it on a unpowered hard drive in a bank vault that requires approval from at least 2 directors to temporarily connect it to a machine that has never been connected to the internet.

Most security breaches (including ransomware events) are insider attacks. Secure data vaults that only allow "authorized persons" access to patient data are therefore never secure.

Oh noes, they blocked Iranian access to Gitlab?! How about the US blocking Iranians access to life saving medications instead? This is pretty much on the level of being a warcrime!
Reform copyright. It was based on the assumption that taxing copy production is a reasonnable way to fund creation. It was an incredibly good system in the days of the press where making copies requires heavy capital investment.

It might be over-compliance on GCP’s part, or it might not be. The DOJ isn’t currently prosecuting companies for not complying with sanctions, but that doesn’t mean they won’t decide tomorrow to hit every big US website that doesn’t block Iran IPs by default. The law certainly isn’t clear on where in the OSI model you’re supposed to stop doing business with Iran traffic. Maybe even IX’s are liable if they route traffic that are from Iranian IPs.
I am Persian. From what I gather, the middle-plus class here still mostly believes that changing the regime is costly and risky (especially since it might very well lead to a civil war, as the regime has no humanity and has shown that it will kill every single one of the people to survive). These sanctions certainly help align our incentives more with the US agenda, but they do not seem to be enough after all. Obama's strategy was definitely a failure, as well; It simply gave power and legitimacy to the Islamic regime and only got temporary limits in return, limits that ultimately did not abate either domestic abuse or extraterritorial meddling. In the end, dictators know that the Western block is finicky, unstable, and short-termish; This makes it so that high-pressure strategies do not work. I do not know of a solution, frankly; Most of my peers see immigration as the only viable solution. But the blame of the quagmire mostly lies with the democrats and the EU. If they had committed to the high-pressure strategy from the Obama era, a much better compromise would have been reachable with the IR. (The democrats+EU mostly sided with the IR in recent protests as well, just to spite Trump. They are only good for virtue signalling, and do not help the oppressed where it matters.) Western democracies generally are very bad game-theoretic agents; They play repeated games as if they are oneshots.

PS: Imagine if the USA sponsored Telegram MTPROTO proxies (and other anti-censorship tools). That'd deal a huge blow to the IR, and make the people more US-friendly as well. Does anyone know why they don't? It's an obvious LHF ...
Pandoc works great as a high-level wrapper around latex, where you can write the content in highly-readable markdown, while adding embedded latex for more complex stuff. Being able to use BibTex instead of MSWord's god-awful reference system for footnotes was an eye-opener, as was the ability to keep your manuscripts in text-based .md and .tex formats instead of docx, so you can track your revisions with git.

You yourself are defending these ludicrous sanctions to some extent:

So blocking Iranian IPs is fine?

If you tell me "but GitLab is in the US, it has to" - it chose to base itself in the US only after apparently having previously being based elsewhere. With the way things stand, it is unreasonable for an online universal service provider, with individual user accounts, to operate from the US - similarly to how it should not operate out of China or Turkey (where restrictions are even stronger).

Anyway...

> Summary: Gitlab should grow a pair, and Americans should ask themselves if this kind of legal uncertainty is desirable.

Most people in the US are barely aware of international affairs. This comes to mind from a few years back:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2014/04/0...

> Finally, legal effort to make websites inaccessible in Iran is entirely incompatible with being taken seriously when complaining about internet freedom in Iran.

You're mistaken. The US is not taken seriously on the merit of its arguments (and probably hasn't been for a couple of centuries already); it is taken seriously due to its ability to exert military and economic pressure.
I'm pretty sure GitHub does use alternates in the same way that that GitLab does:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/git_object_deduplicat...

I vaguely recall seeing @peff comment about this on HN years ago but I can't find that comment now. Here's a GitLab employee claiming GitHub uses alternates:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22179208

The thing is, that both the dmca repo and its forks must have alternates files to the same underlying common repo, otherwise the PR ref in the dmca repo wouldn't be able to see the merge commit pushed to the fork. Pushing the merge must have duplicated all the youtube-dl commits into the common repo used by both the dmca repo and its forks because youtube-dl and dmca would have different common repos.
This reminds me of an incident during a family get together where I was showing my mother my one of my chilli plants.

It's a wonderful cultivar which gives yellow fruit with a lemony flavour and about ten times the heat of a jalapeno.

My sister overheard my description of the flavour and heard me mention it was the mildest of the varieties I have. She interpreted this as it being a mild chilli pepper with citrus flavour and insisted on sampling one. Despite me asking if she was really sure she ended up quite upset.
IQ isn't a "result." It's just a test whose results were specified to be Gaussian with mean 100 and std dev 15. Whether that is a useful thing is a different consideration.

On a notebook (the paper kind), locked, in a specific doctor's office is not a problem at all.
Just realizing now, "CRUD app" is almost meaninglessly vague - just means an app that reads & writes data, which is almost every app. Calendar, contacts, email client, image editor, blog, comment section, forum - all CRUD apps, as they focus on reading & writing specific types of data.

But obviously there's a world of difference in interface, usability, aesthetics, performance, good writing, security etc. The CRUD part is the simple part.

I guess there's some spectrum between a dumb unspecialized list of table editors ala phpMyAdmin, versus hyper specialized interfaces like game engines that manipulate scene data, triangle data, player inventory, physics entities etc.

I think that as a society we’re missing out on a lot of important findings and advances that would improve people’s lives because the IQ research has become somewhat of a taboo in social science. Linking it to eugenics is especially harmful.
Deciding how to apportion electors falls squarely within the rights of a state legislature. There's no need for proportion of popular vote to correspond to electoral votes.

What the supreme court has said, is that if any decision is delegated to a vote, then that vote must meet constitutional muster.

Using votes cast in another state to determine the results of what is a state election likely violates rights of voters within that state.

And those rights are not wholely the legislature's to delegate away.

It's essentially extrajudicial gerrymandering.

Separately, and coming from another angle- it likely violates the constitution's guarantee of a republican form of government.
They are ultimately correct though.
