I don't work for YouTube.

But what if I told you that 30% of users who stop watching YouTube go on to use a different media service, even though they could have watched exactly the same content on YouTube. Would you feel comfortable informing these people that they could watch on your site?

Why is this upvoted? I would expect Reddit or Facebook to contain these sorts of cancer treatment non-stories, but HN should know better. This is just like the other 3,000 articles you've seen toting some type of cancer treatment that either never sees the light of day, fails miserably and makes patients worse, or is not even remotely useful clinically.
It could also be because they are seeing the ATF4 pathway light up (seaching for keys under the lamppost) and there's some side pathway that is molecule-specific, that is synergistic for the molecule's mechanism of action.

It does. If you block people sending spam, they won't be able to contact new people. They will have to wait people to contact them to engage the conversation.

This is why we need government to issue laws to have X money in meat and potatoes research. It was kind of embarrassing with Covid that the last known thorough droplet research was from the 50’s or 60’s as I recall.
Yes, there are certainly a few core areas where spending money can greatly improve quality of life. A solid bed and chair (if you work a desk job) are two of them.
> I'm a huge fan of the Youtube recommendation algorithm, and I find it works extremely well for me.

This fascinates me. I'd guesstimate that roughly 60% of the recommendations I get from YouTube are for videos I've already seen. (To be fair I "watch" a decent amount of music on YouTube, so maybe I'm disproportionately likely to rewatch videos I've seen before.) Another 30% is content based on misinterpretation of my political beliefs, like "you watched a critical analysis of a Prager U video, maybe you'd like these 6 Trump-stanning videos from Newsmax".

The political thing seems like an obvious blindspot in the YouTube recommendation algorithm to me. Going all the way back to 2015 YouTube seems unable to distinguish between "critical of establishment Democrats" and "intellectual-dark-web / pro-Trump" interests. I'll watch one lefty "breadtube" video that's critical of someone like Biden or Pelosi or complimentary to someone like AOC or Sanders and get Newsmax/OAN/Fox-and-Friends video recommendations for a week.

More generally it seems to me that YouTube's recommendation engine is far too volatile and heavily influenced by recently watched content. A one-off, slightly out-of-character view will noticeably taint my recommendations for a week or two.

In contrast I'd say Spotify, Google Music (before it was folded into YouTube), Netflix, Twitter, Amazon Prime, or even Pocket-via-Firefox does OK - not great but acceptably well - so I don't think I'm especially inscrutable. I'm curious about your experience with this. I have moderately broad interests, I feel like it shouldn't be hard to come up with something I would find interesting but it virtually never seems to happen organically on YouTube.

I've always just assumed they were optimizing for something other than things I would consciously find interesting or engaging. For example I'm guessing that triggering "outrage" is probably a good way to drive engagement (comments, shares, etc.). I don't really do either of those things regardless but I'm pretty sure that strategy works in general.

Do you find that YouTube frequently recommends novel content you enjoy? Is that even what they (or your company) is trying to do?
Non-degreed Software Engineer from the USA here, weighing in with biased opinions:

Depends on the field you are in. Here at least, use of the title as it relates to software is currently driven by the hiring agency/company. If you are hired on as a Software Engineer without a degree, then you are a Software Engineer (at least in title, at that position). You damn well better be able to perform. But you can legally write "Software Engineer" on your tax forms.

In my personal opinion, what differentiates a software engineer from a software developer is the level of engineering rigor required for the development and application of your software in a given environment or system. Are there standards in place that recommend (mandate) you provide certain reasonable assurances (e.g.: verifiable proof derived through specified means) that your software will not yield unexpected behavior? Are there standards in place for a given industry that confine the way you use specific languages (to attempt to ensure the aforementioned unexpected behavior will be minimized or eliminated)? I'm thinking of DO-178B/C, IEC 62304, & MISRA as industry representatives here. If you can digest and navigate these standards, and prove to the applicable regulatory body that you adhered (designed, developed, and tested) to their respective guidance documents, they couldn't give a damn about a degree. You've proven you're aware of the risks your software can pose and how to mitigate them through thoughtful application of standards, rules, and hopefully best practices.

Here's where I'll piss some people off: Would I call a front-end UI developer a "Software Engineer"? Probably not, unless that UI is destined for a system where a developer error could cause harm, property damage, etc. What about a trading system where performance losses measured in nano-seconds could accumulate millions in losses? Possibly, depending on the complexity. My personal metric (based on my own career experience) is "will a screw-up cause harm, loss of life, or irreparable damage/destruction to expensive things". Losing millions in a trade and losing millions in an *craft crash are not equivalent to me personally.

It is subjective, but I agree with you and enjoy the human touch on the Apple playlists. I tried Spotify long ago, had some issues and then moved to GPM. I used GPM for years until they started pushing me to YTM, so I moved to AM. AM has been the best experience so far, but like you said, YMMV.

Youtube changed their recommendation algorithm sometime in 2017 and stopped recommending the more egregious conspiracy videos. Their recs are now rather bland and mainstream.
It is when the vast majority of users relying on Signal security, sometimes with their lives, do not know that fact.
If anyone has access to your device, your data can't be protected, don't matter if physical or remote access.
The attacker could simply log all your passwords, so there is nothing signal nor any other software could to.
If someone else having a nice life makes you feel your life is bad, your life may actually be bad. If you spend your days working and feeling unfulfilled and wish you could be the person restoring a ghost town or exploring the arctic... that's a signal.

Humans aren't farm animals meant to be kept nicely penned up.
Wondering what happens to the data they read from each user?
If someone has gained root you're done. Every application must be assumed to be unsafe at that point. This isn't news, and it doesn't mean signal is broken.
This is not due to incompetence. This is done with the objective to influence the public opinion of cryptographic tools so that people will stop using them. The system has no way of actually breaking encryption, that's why it is focusing on the other ways to circumvent it - one of them being making most people (non-experts) believe that it doesn't work anyway so they will stop using it.

This is a focused campaign, this is not just random occurence of incompetence.
Ok, sure. In neither case is it basically a tax.

Also, philanthropy often gives you stuff. The WWF gives me a nice stuffed animal and thank you card, for instance. And plenty of wealthy donors mysteriously get their kids into colleges.
still not sure if the degrading code is there, but you can definitely configure it to USE long-poll.
Does signal still have a problem of dropping messages? I tried to use it as a replacement for Android Messages a while ago but roughly 10-25% of all messages were not received any given day.
Ask HN: Experienced Back end Developer that wants to make a website
Hello HN.

I have extensive experience with Python, and some experience with c, and databases. However I have no experience with HTML and CSS. I would like to make a somewhat complex website where I display tweets from the Twitter API and display data that I have in a database. Should I learn django/REACT, or Flask, or should I use Wordpress? If you think I should use one of these options, should I go to udemy/youtube, hire a teacher, etc..?
I’m doing this and so far it’s great. I’m not using Gatsby or hosting the React app separately though... serving from the Django server is good enough for my use case.
You could use a greasemonkey-style script to modify youtube.
You’re right, in the current system political connections matter, not money. People don’t like capitalism, but basically politicians get the good stuff, and provide nothing in return to the companies.
Plausibly, there could be plenty of cases for favoring runtime assertions over dependent types. Or for mixing and matching even in cases where one or the other would probably suffice.

- Dependent types aren't easily available everywhere. If you don't have them then you can't use them.

- The compiler can't prove some statements (admittedly not a big issue for the examples from TFA). Supposing you have a dependent type system which allows you to state that a property holds, it could still be prudent to have a runtime check. If the type system doesn't allow such statements then it isn't sufficiently expressive to solve the problem in the first place.

- Assertions are a local change which one can make incrementally, whereas changing the types being used will immediately require larger changes (if the types are used more than once) or necessitate some extra wrapper code.
I like many of the answers to your question. But a refinement of your question is when do we really have to choose between Bayesian inference and deep learning? Under what conditions should one pick Stan over Edward or Pyro?
I don't think "Google/Fitbit will monetise health data" requires the in-depth investigation to conclude.

I highly recommend carving out some time to put on a good pair of headphones, and just listen to music. It can be very much like reading a good book.
I have three rules for Youtube:

1. I have two or three accounts specifically for what i want to view. I have an account where I only see video editing tips/how-to's, and a separate account for real estate, a separate account for personal interests, etc.

2. When I invariably see something interesting outside of my normal account's spectrum, sure I watch it - but I make sure and delete it from my history.

3. I aggressively click "don't recommend this again" for anything that falls outside of the account's focus.
My question was like more geared towards - what makes a Software Engineer, a Software Engineer. is it the Software Engg. Degree, practice, or some other characteristic traits that one has to demonstrate in order to become an Engineer.
I don't recall advocating not investigating this because the affected systems are emergency ones. I'm advocating against claiming there is danger without investigating ('abundance of caution' is usually shorthand for 'we could check this, but we're not going to bother and just make decisions without information because, hey, no one ever got fired for saying no, right?') My point is that even if there is potential issue that is highly unlikely, it will still have to line up with several other highly unlikely things for it to be a problem, which is a fairly good definition of 'safe' in modern complex systems engineering.

As to Kobe Bryant, yes his helicopter flew into terrain (unsurprisingly, 'flew into terrain' is incredibly common in aircraft accidents. Sadly, most of them are perfectly serviceable when they do so). There is no indication that the issue was a radar altimeter (if one was even installed, I don't believe they're required in that class), much less one that was being interfered with. I don't think the NTSB report is out yet, but I expect the cause will be what it commonly is: a pilot (with a famous and rich client who wanted to get somewhere quickly) taking their vehicle into marginal weather conditions beyond what they and their aircraft are competent to handle. Working on that problem will save a hell of a lot more lives than investigating 'may be a problem' that no one can even describe a mechanism for.
> My peers and fellow classmates were doing exactly as he described in the book: taking “bird courses” instead of challenging ones, only taking the minimum requirements for their degree and avoiding the optional challenging electives, memorizing / begging / borrowing / stealing / cheating their way to the best grades possible in their classes at the expense of actual learning.

That's why I love pass or fail.

Some places (Stanford does) let you take classes as pass or fail. That incentivize students to try something a little out of their comfort zone. If it doesn't work or they end up not liking it it's not a big deal. Same thing goes for the first semester at MIT.

> In the COVID era of online classes, class averages have gone way up. The academic integrity offices of most faculties have been overwhelmed with cheating cases. If the true purpose of education is to better oneself, why are so many people taking the opportunity to cheat at a time when schools have less ability to monitor for it? This is a question that vexes me endlessly, as a student trying to get the most out of his education. I have been taking as many challenging courses as I can, and plan to continue doing so for the remainder of my degree. I don’t cheat and consequently I find myself well below the high class averages.

Caltech had tremendous success with take home exams. They select incoming students based on their desire to learn and honor. Maybe your institution is admitting too many students?

Fitbit, and the like generally don't provide much data that's useful in a healthcare setting. The sensors aren't great, and people don't necessarily wear them consistently.In broad strokes they can tell you/your doctor if you are generally active. However, you could probably determine that yourself. The heart rate monitoring is good enough for monitoring the intensity of your own exercise but not good enough for anything diagnostic.

Now you can but sensors and smart phone connectable heart rate and bp monitors that are medically useful, but they're not going to fit on your wrist.
I’ve been considering getting one. What’s been your best usages and do you have some recurring recipes or do you vary time for time?
So what? There's plenty of dubious blogs claiming all manner of things. The actual accomplishment isn't noteworthy (they wrote a scraper). If it were encryption-breaking, it would indeed be noteworthy, and thus worthy of fact-checking or at least waiting for Signal's rebuttal of "lolwut, no, that's nonsense".

"Accuracy" is moot here: BBC's headline is misinformation.
Nice, I too had started down this path when looking into using Docker for a new project of mine a few months back. Prior to that I had not really worked with Docker since ~2016 and damn multi-stage builds are a nice improvement. Not to mention how much more mature everything feels.
I don’t log in to YouTube on any of my devices and the same thing happens to me if the cookie ever resets. You can kinda see what “real” YouTube is by just opening a private tab. After you click on something it tries really hard to funnel you into a specific demographic. I’ll see videos I’ve watched before as it’s testing the waters on what I will click on.

I think there's a few reasons. It is used a lot in schools because it purportedly is good for students with dyslexia and resembles handwriting. Some use of it can be contributed to irony, but I think for a lot of laymen who don't care or know much about fonts they just think it's neat.
> Imagine if a Brain Surgeon was quizzed on Liver anatomy every time they wanted to interviewed for a job.

If software developers had the kind of exams getting initially licensed, and the ongoing continuing education requirements imposed to maintain their licenses, that regulated professions tend to have (doctors, lawyers, nurses, even schoolteachers), then they probably wouldn’t have every hiring process trying to compensate for the absence of such prior screening.
I think calling that statement religiosity is probably a bit too strong, but I’ll grant you that it’s not quite right; it is of course possible to construct a simpler process. I would modify that slightly to state that they would be unable to adopt any set of process rules of equivalent sophistication. That may be for all sorts of reasons.

I guess my question to you is, where are you exiting to? If you know of a process or methodology that is better and can articulate the reasons why, then I will gladly follow you!

The authors of this article are complete phonies.

The people at FitBit have been busting their ass for over a decade to revolutionize healthcare and medicine. They deserve the Nobel Prize for medicine. The people who wrote this article have done shit to help.

Where was this "CEPR" group when FITB stock was being shorted and Apple was coming for their throat?

I get that Google is doing lots of bad things now. But the one, and only thing you should be looking at if you actually care about that is #AbolishingImaginaryProperty laws. Everything else is either just done for show or complete ignorance.

I hate to see FitBit having to deal with this crap. They are literally putting a doctor on everyone's wrist (and if you don't get why that is the case, you should go get one and do your research). It's going to completely change the world.

If these people are truly concerned, great—get their governments to buy FitBit for $10B, don't sacrifice our health for your egos.
