> Did Google's AI run amok?

No, there's no AI in what you're talking about and it certainly isn't running amok. A classification algorithm flagged a video showing the inside of someone's body as not suitable for children. You could argue either that the algorithm made a mistake, or that the algorithm worked as expected and you disagree with youtube's policy on what is adult content.

> Are we already in an Orwellian Dystopia?

No, youtube aren't a government and they aren't forcing you to do anything, it would be weird if they were obliged to show any video that you upload regardless of the content. At worst, they're possibly giving you a bad user experience and poor customer service.

Google is like the app store of the internet or worse. If you want to be on it you must follow google’s arbitrary and changing rules while google makes money off of your content. Your cool new website is dead at launch if you don’t build it as google demands. They can ban or derank you at will with no recourse. They rank their own products higher over competitors.

>Part of Jin’s duties included providing information to the PRC government about Company-1’s users and meetings, and in some cases he provided information – such as Internet Protocol addresses, names and email addresses – of users located outside of the PRC. Jin was also responsible for proactively monitoring Company-1’s video communications platform for what the PRC government considers to be “illegal” meetings to discuss political and religious subjects unacceptable to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the PRC government.

So if I am readings this right, PRC authorities are using Zoom employees to monitor the activity of Zoom users both inside and outside the PRC.

Yeah I agree there's a barrier between the endless eight ball of streaming songs and the music you've downloaded onto your computer. Once you've plucked a song from the internet and put it into your collection it becomes reliable, you know why you saved it and what playlist it belongs and what activity you want to pair with it and what frame of mind you were in when you saved it.

Streaming/youtube is so ephemeral, even with history and playlists it's difficult to remember what you found so groovy about a piece when it could all be gone tomorrow. I rarely develop a fixed memory of a song until I've saved it.

Or you know... a large part of small business who once used this service in their stores/shops no longer exist, and the 25%+ of unemployed people, and God only knows all over the World, had to make cut backs to non-essential expenses.

Streaming services like Spotify never really made sense to me as business model, for the artists it could be a double edged sword at best if they get the desired exposure and total waste of time at worst since they get paid nothing and are lost in total obscurity.

Most artists make money from touring and performances, and unless you're a mainstream artist you're never going to make anything on record sells. Bandcamp cut its fees during the pandemic, and it kept some artists afloat for a while, but it wasn't long after that when you saw the patreon crowdfunding model needed to prop things up.

Having DJ'd and been around a lot of musical talent in clubs throughout the last 14 years its clear most had to have day jobs in between gigs and supporting their own labels on top of living expenses. I doubt many had much or anything in savings and I fear with so many clubs and venues going under its going to take another generation of an underground rave scene to brings things back to what it was 10-15 years ago for many of the music scenes I still went out for. Which may be a good thing, but its still hard to see so many artists talent get wasted due to COVID.

> the smell in pools that I've always associated with chlorine is in fact the smell of some product when chlorine react with urine.

A brand new home pool smells exactly like a public swimming pool because chlorine has a very distinctive smell of ... chlorine.

It’s possible that something reacting with chlorine makes it smell more or slightly different, but it’s not like pool with fresh chlorinated water smells nothing or very little. It has a strong chlorine smell.
i'm surprised absolutely noone here talks about the fact that we have absolutely no idea what the long term consequences of this new tech are.

We've all seen people advocating new wonderful technological solutions that fail because of unknown unknowns, in every field. That's just the rules of the R&D game.

In that case we're seriously thinking about injecting a new kind of drug to the whole world population based on a couple of short term trials, for a desease that is only lethal for far less than 1 percent of the population ( and in general, only the most fragile 1 percent).

I'm just like everyone and i find this new arn cell transcription machinery hacking absolutely insanely great. And i also think it looks safe from what the expert are explaining.

This video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK0C5tFHze8 can answer yours and a lot of other questions about mRNA:

Professor Shane Crotty, PhD answers a series of COVID 19 vaccine questions including what are the chances of long-term side effects? How safe is RNA vaccine (i.e. Pfizer / BioNTech an Moderna Vaccines) technology? How long does mRNA from a vaccine stay in our cells? What else goes in vaccines? How long does immunity last? Why are T-Cells so important? Why does Pfizer's vaccine need to stay SO cold?
Depends where and who we live with.
This is more of a general statement... but I find it odd how fast people write off stuff like this as "impossible" - or they just don't believe it could happen. Fair enough, its unlikely but all the same, stranger things have happened before.

I really enjoyed reading this article. One key takeaway for me was how its in the interest of companies like Substack to initially have a lot of high profile creators defect from their motherships (like a lot of journalists have recently done) and then eventually decrease reliance on the superstars so that Substack's value doesnt immediately decrease once these superstars leave.

>Any change needs to be done from both ends.

If the change needs to be done on both ends it is probably an integration problem, which I labelled unkind.

The use of the words kind/unkind is probably not well-thought out, because kind implies easy, but there is nothing in the description of the term that means it is an easy thing to do.
It's higher fidelity than 320 kbps. Not remotely higher fidelity than FM or CD quality audio. But I've A/B tested songs I know inside and out on the same equipment using both vinyl and 320 kbps mp3 and I can hear the difference night and day.

But the main reason I listen to it is not that it's better than Spotify, but that it's a physically beautiful medium with artwork and is still high quality while promoting active, intimate listening.
Blame CDPR’s marketing, not the consumers. Have you seen their marketing efforts recently?
First you really need to decide what you want to do next. The roles that you've looked at vary a lot and some are easier to transition into.

- Data engineering? Could be easy to switch to but to some people it would look like taking a step back. (I don't think so personally)

- Signal processing? Depending on the type of data science work you've been doing, it could be almost indistinguishable from your experince so far and very easy to transition into.

- Systems engineering? Probably the most difficult one out of your list and it will take a lot of additional effort and studying.

- Project management? It's a completely different career direction but you can probably gain some experience with it while you're at your current job and slowly make the transition if that's really what you want to do.

- Architecture? It helps to have a lot of experience as an individual contributor.

Pick something and make a plan for getting there, instead of applying to a random mix of jobs just so you can get out as quickly as possible.

It's also good to be honest with yourself about the reasons for wanting to leave data science. Depending on those reasons it's possible that you just need to change your employer instead of your field of work, especially since data science can mean so many different things in different companies. If this is your first data science job, don't assume that the field is limited to whatever your current employer happens to label as data science. I can think of more than a handful of jobs that are very distinct from each other, all of which can have the title data scientist.

Sometimes it only gets difficult when you materialize your belief and are passionate about it.

Say we believed officials and advocated for not wearing masks in the beginning and called out everyone who wore masks anti-science. Then, officials turned out to be completely wrong.

With that, we would have a very hard time reverse our position.
I agree with this in general.

For programming, specifically, though, I feel the typical style used in programming straddles the line where the brevity hits a point of obscurity that actually leads to more time spent trying to decipher meaning.

I would say the time that is lost to deciphering meaning is much much more detrimental then time lost to parsing over-verbose words by a very large margin. Thus it's better to err on the side of longer names in programming until the verbosity is equal to the English language. I mean nobody complains about the English language being way too verbose, so why not bring programming up to the same level of clarity and verbosity?

Better to over communicate so they say.
Like I said in a sibling comment, I love Spotify but I think its recommendation and discovery mechanisms are really subpar.

They're merely "good enough" IMO. I can go to "Song Radio" or "Artist Radio", and browse through related artists and the like. But the latter still requires a significant amount of effort on my part, and the autogenerated radio playlists are nothing to write home about. I think it's fine that things like the "related artists" features exist, they emulate to some extent the old ways of discovering music, but they're also obvious and they would be part of a music service MVP nowadays. What I miss are solid automatic recommendations, more intelligent than those that are available.

As I remember, Pandora blew Spotify's automatic recommendations out of the water as far back as the mid-2000's. The idea of analyzing the song itself is so powerful and I think Spotify barely does it or weighs it way too little, favoring instead social aspects (such as the preference of other users). I discovered insane amounts of music with Pandora when I was able to use it, like dozens to hundreds of songs per week. Whereas with Spotify I go through these bad droughts that last weeks where I'm not discovering anything new that really clicks. I'd definitely pay for Pandora if it was available here in Spain.

It's weird to me that Spotify being the kingpin is so far behind Pandora in this regard. Is it that they don't care because users don't know any better or demand it? Or that what Pandora did was a technical miracle and can't be replicated at Spotify scale? Maybe it's some business model decision (eg, intelligent recommendations would stray users too far away from Taylor Swift)?

Maybe someone on HN can shed some light on this. And if anyone has any ideas for music services with intelligent recommendations available in Spain I'd be sure to give them a try.
Well, yes, it's true that there's a trade-off, but the "DRY principle" is justified by the other side of that trade-off. And that side becomes stronger with every repetition of your code.

Also, some of the negatives of not-repeating-yourself are not general:

* Often your repetitions themselves are localized.

* Sometimes, you can generalize your code even _more_, to factor out the non-general parts, so that you end up with a generalization of the scheme/mechanism, applied with specific details.

* You can limit your DRY to within your scope of ownership, i.e. have module-local / unit-local utility constructs. Then, only if you agree with others on the generalization, do yu surrender ownership.

etc.
it has, I haven't used an index but for oculus it works pretty well, Im always surprised as how well it remembers the area. Also pretty handy to recenter yourself, you just extend your arms in all directions and if you are near the edge you will see the boundaries. On the quest 2 you can even see through when you poke your head out of the limits and you can see everything around you.

There's a common cycle which goes:

- show or novel has historical fantasy with all white actors

- public complain about racial discrimination

- it is then asserted that black people are "not historical" by fans

Or the mirror image; some show includes a female warrior in a fantasy setting and is denounced by fans as "not historical".

There's clearly a set of tropes which fans will accept as "accurate" for historical fantasy, and it's worth interrogating how that relates to actual history.
Yep. That was her point.

Anyone interested in Means Testing and the impact on policy needs to read up about Australia.

Start with this article :

https://www.businessinsider.com.au/why-having-the-best-socia...

From the article:

"Figures published by the advanced-country OECD put us second-lowest of 29 countries, with only Switzerland spending less. Government in the US makes up 38% of the economy. In most developed countries, government is over 40% of the economy. In eight advanced nations, government is over 50% of the economy. A targeted welfare system means Australians pay a lot less tax than citizens in most rich nations."

Australia has universal health care. Australia has a pretty good education system and fairly low taxes.

Australia's system is far from perfect. But it is pretty good and it uses means testing and targeting of welfare extensively.
> A 20 character name doesn't do any damage if it communicates the correct point.

That depends on the context. If the function is the highest level task called infrequently (as in your example), then long highly descriptive names are completely fine.

If this occurs at every level, all the way down to the building blocks it absolutely, severely affects legibility of the entire code base - it is literally a multiplier of code size, in the worst case of "all the way down" it's some kind of power function.

This barely fits on a line:

(a leftmultipliedbyright (a leftsubtractedbyright 1)) leftdividedbyright 2

Yet it's a simple polynomial that should just be a(a-1)/2, probably part of a larger expression, now the other parts will end up on other lines (because no one writes 500 char width code), the effect is artificially spreading code thinly - this destroys locality and legibility.

You would be right to point out my example is extreme and absurd, however operators are functions, they only use different, implicit syntax. Many intrinsically complex pieces of code must create their own domain specific building blocks at a slightly higher level of abstraction that are much like operators, and this is the place for extremely short function names (think vector libraries), as such a commonly used building block it is unreasonable to expect each reference to fully and explicitly express the functions purpose.

As with all of these types of things, there is a balance, I am arguing _for_ balance, not suggesting all names should be single letter or single word - but that they have their place. However in my experience very long names are far more commonly due to thoughtlessness, they include excessive redundant context and at worst even grammatical words.
Yeah, same story here with Google Drive API. My app is getting rate limited, even though I am nowhere near the maximum requests per 100s. Just requesting things in bursts makes it trip. When you chat with support (not easy given that it's Google...), they usually refuse to make your quota higher because they don't see you hitting the current limit even remotely...
They proved their point already. You took much longer and much fancier wording to say what could be said in a few lines, without losing any meaning. Verbosity for the sake of verbosity.

This is what I mean. Using long names compounds not only on itself. It compounds onto the entire codebase. Unless you blackbox the code, make it 100% bug free and it doesn't require changes for future features, that code will be read. Reading takes a lot of time, but worse: it takes far longer for someone to process a much larger cognitive load. This is especially dangerous in huge codebases that need to be changed on a regular basis, usually retorted by "it takes time to get in the swing of things".

We have better things to do in life. Respect the person who will read the code. Be concise.
Because begging is asking for help with no expected return - either you give them money, or you don't.

If an artist you like asks you for money, it is implied that this money will go towards funding their next project. It is more of an investment.

Patrons of the arts have existed for a long time. Donating to your artist is just the distributed version of that.
Don't forget "Peter Pan". J.M. Barrie, the original author, donated the work to Great Ormond Street children's hospital with the intention that they would earn royalties from it. Disney claims the work is now in the public domain and does not pay royalties.

Applying their own logic, Disney is stealing from a children's hospital.
