The difference is that podcasters are typically hosting their own files anyway, handling their own advertising (possibly through networks), and the platforms are just discovery mechanisms. Whereas YouTube is taking care of the more expensive hosting, the advertising, and the discovery--for better or worse.

After the updates to the article, the takeaway seems to be "you can use AVX-512 dot product instructions to sum an array of bytes to int and get a 15% speedup over more straightforward vector code". That's an interesting point, but it's now well-hidden among irrelevant things like the compressed representation that was only relevant to the article's original point.

It might make sense to resubmit a completely rewritten and pared-down version of the article. The dot product trick is neat.

I think there are a few issues with your points, but a general one is that you're kinda discussing it in a vacuum, right? Investing in a VC fund isn't a choice of 'invest' or 'do nothing', it's one of choosing between a number of alternatives. So what are the viable alternatives right now that you think would be a better idea? Say you've got a $100 million line of cheap credit, what are you going to do with it?

Detroit's problem was not that the companies there were direct competitors, it was that all of them were producing automobiles. When American automobile production moved elsewhere and took a large number of well-paying jobs with it, the bottom fell out of the city's economy.

I mean, a few hundred for a score board seems right. Even a few thousand for a piece of infrastructure that can be used 20+ years for several different sports is not so unreasonable. Even rural middle schools will sometimes spend that much on scoreboards.

In University I participated in a club sport "funded" exclusively through the student government -- really more of a tax rebate than anything else since only 60% of what the climbing "team" paid in student fees we got back to buy ropes, biners, rent a van for outings. That sort of stuff.

College sports do serve a real community-building purpose. Just... a few hundred or maybe low thousands total per sport instead of a few tens of millions for the main sport.

Replace "teachers" with "police" and you do get a reasonable argument. In a situation where someone has outsized authority and influence, even a baseline level of <bad thing> is worse than normal. If you're looking to affect outcomes most significantly, reducing "racism" amongst teachers is probably going to be more impactful per $ than reducing it amongst the general population.

This is from 1999, but it's no less interesting today. The winner of the main competition was a bot with a variety of strategies that used whichever strategy was winning, including all possible variants of those strategies based on "but you know I'm going to do that, so you'll do the thing that beats that" logic. Naturally, it was called Iocaine Powder.

There was also a side competition of bots that cheated. My favorite is the one that forked twice, returned all three possible moves, and exited the process if it lost.
I didn't want to share this in my comment at the risk of coming across as a self-promoter, but I've started writing about what I look at when evaluating an opportunity.

https://www.getrevue.co/profile/AppleTurnover

I don't really mind competition, I'm sure there folks that have been doing what I am for many years now.

If I had to boil it down to a few key points:

- Is the app something I'd use

- Is it something I'm interested in pushing towards "best-in-class". I'm an optimistic person and I know a lot of app acquisitions will end up in milking existing users and adding little value, but I'd like to believe that app acquisitions have the benefit of making apps better overall. Rather than starting from scratch, developers have the opportunity to push forward from a solid base that has achieved some level of product-market fit.

- Does it have something in common with other things I'm working on/ working towards? Sharing tech/marketing/sales efforts will help maximize the time spent on maintenance and growth.
And end up clicking on it on the wrong device and now you’re logged in on your phone instead of the desktop.

> You could do those things in C++ with template games and in Rust with macros. But Zig lets you have immense expressivity with a simple, small and easy-to-learn language.

const fn is (or seems to me to be) exactly what comptime is though. The difference is that rust's const syntax is still slowly allowing more things to be executed at compile time. Like for now, it still can't do any heap allocation.
> Good luck detecting a mosquito optically from a distance of several meters using a cheap camera and Raspberry Pi.

Same thought as well. They must not have done the math on the optics... You'd have a much better chance using an acoustic array (mosquitoes put out a very distinctive sonic frequency), or even better an array of radar modules. There is simply too much noise and data in the visible spectrum to catch something that small without expensive optics and an expensive processor to process all of those pixels.

I agree with some of the other posters who are saying that that it is difficult to figure out what this does or who it is for.

There's a huge headline saying "nodes for everyone". So, it's for my grandmother and my son and my uncle too?

Looking at the examples I see that there's a lot of cool looking geometry and special effects. So maybe "nodes is for everyone who wants to make cool visual things?"

Is it for artists who don't want to have do deal with code? Is it for coders who want their code to be more modular?

The best way I can understand this is maybe it's a competitor to something like Houdini, for people who are working at the intersection of art and code, it's like a procedural generation tool for art.

I thought it might be something which lets you build cool stuff without much code, but I was disappointed in the lack of modularity of some of the examples -- e.g. the "basic webGL" example in the playground. In that example almost everything interesting is going on in the one shader node.

Similarly with the boids example, the entire boid simulation is in one node with Javascript. It's not a reusable node.

I think the examples would be a lot more compelling if the nodes were each some trivial piece of functionality than anyone could look at and understand within 30 seconds, but they were put together into impressive creations. Like MIT Scratch for adults.

The problem with these examples is that there's too much complexity baked into a single node, which makes it difficult to understand those as reusable nodes. If I'm understanding it correctly, reusing nodes is the whole idea here.
Certainly poverty impacts everyone negatively. Yet as a white guy in a mixed race relationship it seems obvious that at least in the Midwest US having dark skin is life in hard mode.

Around here at least almost everyone in positions of power are old white men. And some white employees gossip among each other about the incompetence of black superiors. (Though in their defense some have praised those black coworkers they've seen working hard for themselves.)

Different regions probably have different dynamics. Yet all the stats I've read about imply skin tone is a huge filter for opportunity in life.
What third avenue for protecting the public interest do you recommend between corporate control and government regulation?

This is a lesson that YouTubers need to learn far earlier. I know a number of creators with relatively small audiences (under 50,000 subscribers on YouTube) who earn six figure incomes because they properly monetise. Even with the massive pay-outs from sponsor spots in videos, content creators fail to recognise the true value of their relationship with their audience.

It is easier than ever to accept payment directly from an audience in exchange for access to premium content or products. It isn't for everyone - but if their goal is to make a business out of their content, it should be one of the first steps taken.

And it's a way overused phrase. As if headline writers haven't tried to entice people to read articles for 100 years. Some people seem to want scientific paper titles for headlines. Basically not going to happen. (There are egregious examples of course but the idea that headlines shouldn't try to grab a reader is silly.)
Maybe the opposite though - having a 'single, semi-competent authority and source of control/failure/security' is probably not a good reality for security and resiliency.

Ironically, there's a >50% chance that the solution will entail 1) privately hosted platforms like AWS and 2) privately hosted support services and 3) privately written core modules (McKinsey business strategy, Accenture implemented etc.) and 4) at least some privately contracted IT people to manage the solution.

There's no reason to believe the gov. will make a more robust, scalable and secure solution that other entities.

A better approach might even be to mandate very specific identity protocols, and then allow citizens to chose their own identity provider among those that fit the regulatory requirements and oversight.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Post

It's owned by gov. and effectively independent. They could be an identity provider. They are already close to being able to do whatever need be done.

Feedreaders still work fine for the most part. I use Inoreader, which also integrates some social media feeds and can even generate fake feeds for many sites without them. (And many blogs and news sites still do have feeds anyways!)
I follow CGP Grey’s stuff and it’s been interesting and instructive to see how he diversified.

* His Youtube channel is his main platform

* However, the money mostly comes from patreon subscribers, and you can also have videos delivered there

* He also earns income from a podcast, Cortex

* The Podcast has its own brand of sellable things, currently journals and Tshirts

* He had a second podcast, hello internet, currently on hiatus. If ever something went catastrophically wrong with youtube this could be reactivated via the feed

* He has a large email list which he uses to reach people directly and drive traffic to videos if people request these updates

* He is also prominent on twitter etc and maintains secondary youtube channels, useful if main one taken down

* He runs a large subreddit for his following

So it is layers and layers of redundancy, built on a mix of other platforms and also two he controls directly (email and rss)

Still faces a youtube risk but it would take a an earthquake across platforms to truly wreck his income streams.

As someone who runs an online business and follows him it’s been impressive to watch how diversified he has made his comms channels.
Yup. They're really into the medieval aesthetic there -- the Hall of Graduate Studies was built in the 1930s IIRC, and they splashed the stone walls with acid and purposefully cracked some of the stained glass windows to make it all look that much more Oxbridge-y....

> the reality is that as a poor white person it is much easier to find your way out of poverty.

You misunderstand. The comments are not about race, but the individual decision that's always available to you, to break away from a losing game.

Likewise, I was dragged down by my family who defined what I should aspire to (ex: being a doctor or a professor or a lawyer while I liked computers) and what I should do (ex: give them money to help them). I tried to do what I was told and realized it caused failure.

> which allows other members of your family to likely not be poor — thus able to support you.

After noticing and analyzing the pattern of failure in my family, I decided it would stop with me - by disassociating from them.

From your post:

> That is why it should come as no surprise that so few Black people have successfully built generational wealth: we’re always actively trying to keep the current generation alive

That's your mistake.

Eventually, I decided "screw them, I don't give a flying fuck even if they starve to death" -best decision of my life!

Yes, it involved a lot of risk, as I knew they would never help me again in return, but being in the US it was almost a given I would never return.

Now I'm a young retiree.

I was asked money- more than once, especially after they knew I had made it. I told them in very clear term I'd rather burn my money and become a bum than give them a single dollar. That stopped the claims :)

> That’s why the American Dream is so far out of reach to many: https://andrew.im/essays/a-journey-to-the-american-dream

You're so wrong. The American Dream is out of reach because selfishness is unfortunately not taught. We give people wrong values (help your friends, support your family etc) and act all surprised they fail in life.

It's a honest mistake to make- the same as having kids in the hope they will help you in the future (they might) while they will certainly cost you in the present and the future (they sure will)
That's not how it works.

Ghost kitchens are a good way for restaurant chains to expand by opening these types of kitchens for delivery only instead of having to open a full-blown restaurant at a premium.

For customers it does not matter that their Nando's (just an example, I don't know if Nando's do ghost kitchens) comes from a Nando's full restaurant or a Nando's ghost kitchen. It's exactly the same food and it creates the same number of jobs for people working in kitchens...

It's not Deliveroo that can decide that "Oh, Nando's do a good business here so let's create a fake one by ourselves...".

Now, on the other hand for independent restaurants Deliveroo (and other similar services obviously) can be a good way to expand their customers base by offering delivery without having to invest in the infrastructure.
