I find some media to be actually helpful if it is instructive. I frequent YouTube for how-to videos all the time and there are tons of videos that have saved me time and money by making rookie mistakes that someone more experienced in a particular field mentions off-handedly in a video. It's great for software projects, electrical engineering projects (like Raspi and Arduino stuff), and a lot of other miscellaneous things where people with hands-on experience can share tons of wisdom in short video.

That said, there is also a lot of junk YouTube content, which feels similar to browsing Reddit, Facebook, or eating donuts for that matter... It's a guilty pleasure to watch some videos. Even the "cute" ones, like cat videos, or "funny" fail compilations, or impressive parkour videos. These can be entertaining on the surface, but I find they do the opposite of inspire me. They're temporarily exciting to watch, but overall do not any value to my life and in the big picture, I find them to be more of a distraction than anything. Some people have a balanced media diet and can consume it moderately. For me, it's too easy to spend several hours in any given week watching completely useless videos - especially with the ever growing mechanisms to try to keep your eyes glued to the screen (auto-play features, suggested playlists, etc).

I compare it to a type of drug use. Some people handle it well, others don't. Like most things, YMMV.

Edit: I also feel like with YouTube's insane growth over the past decade, there are way too many people trying to game the system. It leads to some very good content, but also a lot more junk content that just manages to add better keywords for searches, or a more attractive title/thumbnail to catch your eye (I'm sure many people are familiar...).

Server push arguably doesn’t bring caching benefits if you have to push the same CSS file as part of every request for any page. With browsers already able to eagerly parse <link preload> out of the head and HTTP/2 multiplexing concurrent connections you’re looking at saving a single round-trip time, once and adding bandwidth overhead to every other request for a page.

The sole time I answer a political poll, I remember being unable to answer a single question. Each one was so obviously a loaded question and completely missing context that I couldn't respond. All I could say is I need more context which they could not give.
That would be the case if YouTube wasn't acquired by Google and totally an independent company, it would most likely be dead by now. Like other social networks and media companies, they come and go with the times.

An example of a non-media company wanting to exist for 'centuries', I guess Evernote is dreaming to join the ranks of IBM, Nintendo, etc when they still want to be a 100 year old startup. [0] I think reality says other wise.

I think FB brought a vision of what is possible: ubiquitous, universal, interacting personal profiles and self-publishing. That concept is never going away.

My hope is that this concept will evolve into a more of an interoperating protocol of self-hosted entities, like RSS or IRC

> A dim LCD newspaper on your wall would look really tacky, imo.

In fairness, any display of a newspaper who so bombastically trumpeted the US into war with Iraq is kinda tacky.
that's comparing a hardware encoder to a software one, unfortunately, as the replies note.

it's unfortunately drowned out by the cpu throttling scandal on google, but, its well-known in ar dev (and if you get to talk to an apple engineer away from stage lights at wwdc) that you have to proactively choose to tune performance, or you'll get killed after a minute or two due to thermal throttling.
Reading the comments, I realize many seem to think that the Unlimited High-Res was their original photos. It is a high-res version but not your original photo resolution. I always shoot at the highest available resolution where I can (along with RAW, when possible).

For those, worrying about Google banning your account and losing your photos, here is how I do mine. Still not the best but hope to inspire others.

1. Our family shoots mostly with iPhone, and DSLRs and the first point of consumption are Apple Photos.

2. I have Google Drive Backup to back up the "original" resolution photos to Google Photos. This helps to share with friends, families, and others who are pretty much not on the Apple Ecosystem. This also serves as my second backup and I like the cute things that the Google Photos team does to the photos. A lot of fun moments for the family.

3. Besides the digital house-keeping that I quickly do every Month, I do a checklist of Backups, trimming, minimizing, etc, every year (usually in JAN). Here the Photos from Apple Photos are exported to the yearly folder but I'm not happy that the exported photos pretty much have scrambled metadata. I'm fine for now, as this is my last resort if the above two sources kinda die.

This is not yet something that I'm happy about and will continue to look for something in the lines of every tool (such as Apple Photos, Google Photos, and others) being just clients to a primary source available on my local NAS and somewhere online (with backup replicas -- cloud such as AWS, Wasabi + elsewhere).

On a personal note, I do skip lunches once a while each month to cover up for the 2TB Google One and Apple One Family plans, which I'm fast running out too. That lunch-skipping is good for health and pays for the monthly plans.
Let's say it takes ~12 hours to tally ballots for your country (results are available the next morning). We have ~330M people in the USA, so if it scales linearly, the full count would take ~16.5 days.

For what it's worth, most of the "long tail" time in counting votes in the US is due to special circumstances, like mail-in ballots which were damaged during delivery and need to be transcribed onto a new form before they can be run through the counting machines.

Either way, projections are a fairly simple statistical exercise. Once enough votes from a district have been tallied such that you are confident that the statistical error wouldn't change the outcome, you can project a winner for that district. That is, if you collect a statistically significant sample such that your error is +/-X%, and a given candidate is winning by more than X%, you can project them as the winner.

Suddenly your large monolith app that has been fine for years falls apart.

So you rush out and higher 10 react developers, 10 go developers, and 10 support engineers to try and write a micro service replacement while keeping the ruby app alive long enough to finish the rewrite. Oh and an elixir developer somehow managed to sneak in.

Meanwhile your original 2 Ruby developers moved on, and their replacements are treated like dirt since Ruby Is on the way out... for a few years.
I wonder how they compare the machine learning performance of the integrated GPU. Does anyone know if any of the ML libraries support the new architecture? AFAIK most libraries don't support anything other than nVidia. Any tests on training models? Or is it mostly inference?
The question wasn't so much what the content creators want as much as what the average viewers wants. I get that viewers are seeking creators' content, but going a step beyond that what are some of the things in the first place that if implemented would create a viable alternative to YouTube?
Maybe I'm missing something, but how would this meet the requirement of scheduling tasks in the future?
On that note, channels like AvE and Real Engineering come from two different ends of the spectrum in terms of production quality but have a similar feel in terms of how much I learn per minute of content.

There are also channels like the Sampson Boat Company that take a project that would've just ended up turning an old boat into scrap after a while into one of my favorite carpentry/woodworking things to watch, better even than old episodes of the Woodwright's shop or This Old House.
why would it be only 1 external display? Can you not plug into a thunderbolt dock and use multiple external displays? I do exactly that with my 2012 MacBook Pro.

I have a love hate relationship with Live. Its 95% exactly what I want, and there is so much great hard and software integration. But beyond making a few cool loops of stacked elements I never seem to make a song with it. I CAN make music with other apps, so I just dont jive with Live. However, I feel like I just am perpetually 1 'aha' moment away from it being my go to DAW, so I keep upgrading it. So yes, I just bought the upgrade to Live suite 10 which gives me 11 for free...

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

You seem to be making an assumption that I'm not going to (or shouldn't) use Kafka as a database for my time series data - when in fact that is how we use it.

I store and query messages in certain Kafka Topics - it's not all our data, but it is a non-trivial amount of it.
It's not at this large scale, but I have an Onyx Lumi, and somehow my favourite thing about it is that I changed all the lock screens to pictures from the Moomins, and it sits on a stand on my office desk [1].

The Lumi is capable of playing video in e-ink, and I actually had a desire to see a classic newspaper like this, but with small videos instead of images, I love that old new tech concept as simple as a newspaper with moving images (on click probably, more than constantly aminating).

I also use it daily as a practical device and it's only a 13" size (A4), so substantially smaller, but people would still question how much I paid, and probably question me even harder if they new I'd also got a ReMarkable 2 on pre-order.

I just love the aesthetic of e-ink so much. I previously submitted a post about the Dasung Paperlike monitor[2], and I actually bought it years ago and sold it because I couldn't handle the refresh rate, but I was interested to see they are still going and still the best in class for that use-case. The Onyx Lumi actually also works as a second monitor so my dream of working outside on sunglasses might still happen.

I love this use of e-ink as wall art, and I have hoped for years the technology could become more ubiquitous outside of e-readers.

Google is extremely overrated. Everyone here saying its the end all be all probably hasnt worked there. I mean this from an interesting work perspective.

Only join a startup if you are a founder, or the founders are extremely notable and you are early.

Brew would just compile the ARM version and it should work the same for the most part. Same as running Linux on ARM (like raspberry pi).

I’m not sure if it supports it immediately, but this isn’t a difficult change, so it will certainly come soon.
I have to agree with Cory Doctorow: when shit hits the fan, it's solidarity what happens. "The fact that we remain here today, after so many disasters in our species’ history, is a reminder that we are a species of self-rescuing princesses—characters who save one another in crisis, rather than turning on ourselves"[0]. It certainly has been the case in my city of 20-something million, total collapse due to earthquake, overwhelming self organizing and mutual help. People will probably turn on the rich and powerful, though, and the narrative of law and order breakdown if no police/government is likely coming from them

If the Geekbench scores are to be believed, the M1 in the MacBook Air scores 7,500 multithreaded. So yeah, the 28-core Mac Pro is quite a bit faster (and can sustain that performance), but the performance of the Air looks extremely good.
I suspect an Apple Silicon equivalent to Ampere’s Altra (which can go to 80-core today per socket and 128-core soon) would absolutely devastate these Geekbench scores on a tricked out Mac Pro.

If you want to make an apples to oranges comparison that’ll really be the one to make.
> the real downside of this model: it overfits on regular crying

I'm with you there, that's a big downside too, but that's not the "real" downside---there are like seven different downsides present with the data science going on here and it's hard for me to say which is the biggest issue, because they're all issues. Data science is not trivial!
I think the fact that we may only have 30-50 years' worth of human civilization left on Earth is a competitive advantage for both other planets.

LL-HLS removed HTTP/2 Server Push from the spec back in January: https://mux.com/blog/low-latency-hls-part-2/

This was driven by poor server + client support at large, and the complexity it introduced. LL-HLS instead uses byte ranges and open-ended ranges over HTTP/2 - almost Comet-style - to handle CMAF chunks.
How certain can one be that the M1 uses nothing but the ARM instruction set? They certainly aren't advertising it as ARM. They aren't selling it to other OEMs. One way to really put the kabash on Hackintoshes would be to make Mac OS use nonstandard instructions. What's to keep them from adding instructions?

Just for completeness, updating parent comment's Lambda estimates, not counting provisioned worker costs, and assuming no request takes more than 100 ms.

Lambda requests: ((1.5e9 * 4) / 1e6) * .20 = $ 1,200
Lambda CPU (1536 MB): 0.0000025000 * 1.5e9 * 4 = $ 15,000
API Gateway HTTP reqs:
(count): 1.5e9 * 4 = (6 billion)
(first 300m): 300 * 1.0 = $ 300
(next 5700m): 5700 * 0.9 = $ 5,130

LAMBDA MONTHLY TOTAL = $ 21,630
LAMBDA YEARLY TOTAL = $ 259,560

And for comparison:

NLB (2x)
(NLB hours 1 month):
2 * 0.0225 * 24 * 30.45 = $ 33
(NCLU hours):
2 * (2280/50) * 0.006 * 24 * 30.45 = $ 399

NLB MONTHLY TOTAL = $ 432
NLB YEARLY TOTAL = $ 5,184

EC2 YEARLY
(if 1 req/vCPU) = $ 253,926
(if 15 reqs/vCPU) = $ 67,704
(if 30 reqs/vCPU) = $ 33,852

Note the "1 req/vCPU" case would require requests to burn 250ms of pure CPU (i.e. not sleeping on IO) each -- which in an equivalent scenario would inflate the Lambda CPU usage by 3x due to the 100ms billing granularity, i.e. an extra $30,000/month.

That's an 87% reduction in operational costs in the ideal (and not uncommon!) case, and a minimum of a 59% reduction in the case of a web app from hell burning 250 ms CPU per request.
It's not just outperforming the MacBook Pro. It's also blowing away the current 2020 top-end iMac, which has a 10-core Intel i9.

And it's doing this while using more than an order of magnitude less power (10W vs. a TDP of 125W for that Intel part).

That's stunning.
> I feel there is a bit of undercurrent of Luddite sentiment going around here.

Oh, I'm no Luddite, don't get me wrong---I'm a machine learning researcher. I have no problem with data science. The difference between all of the complex technology you pointed out inside the baby monitor and what we're talking about here is that all of that complex technology is robust and, for the most part, well-designed! The data science work here has tons of issues, and I think the vast majority of reactions are reacting to that: machine learning and data science really can be useful... but not if you apply it really badly. Someone else commented elsewhere in the thread that a simple thresholding algorithm would be just as effective---and not suffer from the myriad potential problems present with blindly applying TensorFlow because it's cool.
I’ll take a stab at the problem: an “actual professional” in this context is someone who makes their money by using the computer.

I'd disagree entirely. As mentioned in my other comment, I have an e-ink tablet on a stand on my desk[1], and I think it looks stunning, especially contrast wise. It has that "real physical object" kind of aesthetic, that is virtually irreplaceable if you want a thing of beauty.

It doesn't glow in low light, and it's only increasingly visible as Ambient light gets brighter. Those are features for a static thing to look at in my book.

Correctly predicting is not a badge of honor if the numbers are way off. As an extreme hypothetical, if he'd predicted California to be Biden+40 and it was actually Biden+10 that would be correctly predicting who won but it would also be a massive polling failure. If the numbers land outside the predicted margins, it's bad polling regardless of whether the binary decision was right.
This would have been decently interesting as a "block based WYSIWYG text editor". Because that’s all it is. It barely has a fraction of what makes notion so powerful. So going in expecting something like notion makes it instantly disappointing.
It’s what happens when a trillion dollar company does vertical integration the right way instead of dicking around.

Intel, Qualcomm, Microsoft - all have to build products that work for the lowest common denominator. Loss of focus is a major problem.

Apple has a handful of products. One OS. One developer platform.

This kind of agility is extremely powerful. They can switch fabs whenever it makes sense. They can switch ISAs whenever it makes sense.

Contrast with Microsoft, that has to support so many hardware platforms. They’re not helping themselves with so many software frameworks - Win32, WinRT, .NET, MFC, WinJs? I’ve lost count.

Intel is handicapped stuck to their process nodes.

Qualcomm, while they’ve effectively captured the mobile SOC market, they too have the same problem. They can’t control what handset makers do. So they can only go so far.

Apple can make a single CPU core and mix and match that with variations. Things get a lot easier if you just have to deal with yourself e2e - even as far as retail sales.
