Before jumping to the conclusion that YT is in the White House's back pocket, consider that this could be explained by common platform behavior like spam and malicious accounts being deleted along with their dislikes.
For the frontend side of things, especially when using React, NextJS is the first tool in the toolbox. You get a lot more than CRA provides out of the box (SSR, routing, API routes, and server-side only code for dealing with database access). Vercel or Netlify are both amazing dev experiences to get setup with (including Git push deploys).
How does one go about doing this? They convert speech to text or run ML on audio itself ? Any opensource tools out there to play with this concept ?
> damn...Biden /Harris videos got down-voted badly. I think this shows the importance of good communication when making a case to the public. Had Covid occurred during Clinton's term I'm sure his videos (again, assuming YouTube existed) would have done much better. It's not like YouTube is a bastion of conservatism.

I wouldn't read too much into upvote/downvote counts of political figures' YouTube videos insofar as them being a reflection of reality. They are highly susceptible to brigading and other manipulation.
Why does Apple not open up their hardware to other operating systems like Linux. They will already get our money from the hardware purchases, what more do they want.

I know Asahi Linux exists but without Apple's (driver) support it will never reach macOS on M1 level performance.

(If someone disagrees, please compare Nouveau with proprietary Nvidia drivers.)
Outside of WCF it's not that different. I agree that the removal of WCF feels like a huge gut punch, but if you were following WCF tenets all along and had nice separation of your Data and Service and Operation Contracts it really shouldn't be that hard to drop all your WCF Binding wizardry and write new implementations of your contracts (interfaces) against HTTP REST or gRPC or GraphQL or Raw UDP Sockets or whatever your heart desires as your next communication tool, then dependency inject those implementations like any other dependency injection.

There's definitely a minimum level of code quality required so you don't want to kill yourself, but many programmers go way overboard trying to come up with 'beautiful' solutions to simple problems.

I've seen 10kloc files with magic numbers and globals everywhere, it's a nightmare. But I've also seen codebases where literally everything is encapsulated and most classes don't really do anything. There's a happy medium, and I'll take 'code that does things' over beautiful code that doesn't do anything.

At the end of the day, code that does things is what makes money.
They would have financed it, and created it with or without the government.

However government cash, without Moderna would have never created a vaccine. Similar to how California, after 10 years and 20 billion dollars never created a high speed rail.

Should be better. The discussed how it was even better than MacPro with afterburner.
It's similar in the UK, in that it's deeply contextual. Walking around naked somewhere where people are likely to take offence is dicey, but the more expected it is to encounter someone naked somewhere, the safer you are.

The specific things that makes it a crime would be intent to "cause distress, alarm or outrage", or if you are "outraging public decency".

And so e.g. a nudist beach generally does not need any particular permissions on the basis that merely signing it properly, or the place being generally known to be somewhere where people are naked makes it hard to argue it causes distress, alarm or outrage to come across someone naked there.

Of course where exactly the line goes on that is constantly changing and tricky to judge.

E.g. someone stood naked on a plint in Trafalgar Square in the middle of London and police refused to order him to cover up [1] but another naked man on the plint was told to cover up another time.

I use B2 with a single bucket, so I pay the going rate for that. I’m storing a few hundred gigabytes with a few gigabytes ingress per month…a few dollars a quarter on the billing front.
What's more, in some cases you are required by law to at least try to save a life. For example, in some jurisdictions you are required to bring first aid to a victim of a car crash (assuming you won't endanger yourself in the process), failure to do so can result in jail time.
Depends upon your workflow but I use xcode and android studio and 16gb isn't enough if I run a simulator or emulator. Definitely get the 32gb imo.
My comment never made a personal attack, but I do see how the snide way I criticized the parent poster's position could be inflammatory. I rephrased my response to be less inflammatory.
I'd actually really love an answer to this as well.

Last time I did any windows development was about 8 years ago, and win32 was very much the default for most of the folks I worked with (myself included). UWP was just starting to come out, but absolutely nobody I knew was interested in using it.
For me it’s going to be a massive improvement. Already the base M1 builds software faster than my Intel i9… and given that these new chips have 400GB/s bandwidth it will be a ridiculous improvement for my R data analysis code…
Idunno I feel like most of the arena games did a decent job of holding your hand and providing a single player campaign that is good enough to level up skills with a bit. Also back in the day there were a lot more LAN parties, and with the dominance of server browsers it was easier to get into a community that was at a suitable skill level.

But that does mirror my experience with newer games... the matchmaker usually isn't very good and I'm always put into games with players greatly better than me until I git gud.

First off he shouldn't have opened his mouth when came to this topic. Secondly, he's the wrong individual to speak on this matter, he sounds like someone that's coming from privilege. Next, when you examine the people in his lab from the past no one is person of colour. Beliefs that come into policy shouldn't reflect his thinking. Universities need to do a better job at creating better diversity for all students.

Yeah, I mean this is just rephrasing the question. Why wouldn't a company attempt to solve a global pandemic even without the promise of eternal profit? These are exceptional circumstances. Even if pandemics become more common in the modern world, it's not like this is going to happen every 5 years. How can these people not be willing to make a sacrifice (where sacrifice here means saving the world but maybe having to find a new job in ~10 years).
For someone with more knowledge- are these scores dependant on the OS? Like would it have different scores if it ran Linux?
I’ve always wondered why we don’t see this type of corporate sabotage more often. We have the technology to leak documents anonymously, so all it would take is one mid-level employee that is capable of finding another place to work if the company tanks…
As cool as that would be, why would they? I mean what do they have to gain from it? Maybe a few more Linux users will buy MacBook's but not enough to impact their bottom line. Plus those users wouldn't be part of the Apple ecosystem and at least since the iPod Apple's goal has been bringing you into the ecosystem.
Sort of.

Verilator can simulator a subset of SystemVerilog, mostly that which is synthesizable (though work is on-going to expand its capabilities so it can run UVM code).

So it's a replacement for modelsim if you're just using it to run your actual design RTL. You need to build a synthesisable testbench or write one in C++ (or check cocotb: https://github.com/cocotb/cocotb)
I had a look at those links. No thanks, not much changed. Still too much boilerplate and nightmare to refactor.

Agreed.

Getting the interviewer to be _attentive_ is already a given since you've earned the timeslot. Getting them _alarmed_ is what happened here. Showcasing a fighting spirit to stir up some emotional investment.

Though I doubt airing out even the perfect greivance there would've been enough to flip the decision. The growth story just doesn't seem to track.

Also helps that the frustration was aimed at a personal matter instead of directly at someone in the room.
I remember when I first read it I found the periodic "mass panics" unrealistic. As in about 10 times in the book the entire world population goes nuts.

> Such a popular president should have some truly epic YouTube numbers. Let's keep track. I'm sure we won't see anything weird happening, such as dislikes being thrown out in the wee hours of the morning.

This intro in the about section and the conclusions the author make, makes me question the whole thing. Why does the author think his numbers are real, when it could just be that YouTube deleted dislikes made by bots after some time?

currently it is basically a UI map wrapper for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby, with the additional functionality for users to post text and images to their specific location. I was going to monetise it by allowing people to pay to increase the viewable radius of a post, and/or having people pay a small amount to the uploader to view a post from outside the default radius.
I love that whoever created this thinks that some nefarious vote manipulation is going on at YouTube and yet YT just can't muster up enough power, over their own product, to make the "Likes" go in Bidens favor. Also by their metrics, Ted Cruz is the most popular person on the internet. Weird!

It's really freeing when coupled with something like Gitpod or CodeSpaces. You join a new project and you have ZERO setup to do on your own. You can open up a new branch and start working in seconds. I don't have to worry about whether my computer has enough memory to keep up with Docker, if it's fast enough for this new project, if I have to install version managers to separate runtimes for each project (rbenv, pyenv, nvm, etc).

To perform experiments it's even better. I have multiple directories with sample/initial projects from many languages where I was just feeling out a new framework or library or concept. Then months pass and I can't run them again because the specific dependency is no longer installed on my laptop. Now I can create these new study projects and know that it'll run in seconds when I get back to it.

Plus not all of us can work from highly performant workplace-provided workstations. I have just my laptop to work with. Imagine running Docker and Chrome and Spotify and maybe macOS decided that was the right time to hog my disk and do file indexing while I'm running tests...it's a hassle I'm glad to be rid of. I'd rather a company get me a Gitpod/Codespace and I can separate things cleanly.

I recommend this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28502232 by https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=heymijo from the recent HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28500508 of this Smithsonian article on leaded gasoline https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/leaded-gas-poison-... . The MentalFloss article about Clair Patterson is especially good. Pasting the comment in full (again, this is heymijo's work not mine):

> Two beliefs became entrenched:

1. that lead is natural to the human body, and

2. that a poisoning threshold for lead existed

Robert Kehoe, working for GM, was the chief advocate for leaded gasoline, and really the only person/lab doing research on lead until Clair Patterson stumbled into it while measuring the age of the earth. [0,1]

A modern equivalent might be if Facebook was the only organization researching social media's impact on society, while being able to set the paradigm/assumptions about said safety for half a century.

So even when Patterson's research was published in 1965, it took time to change the paradigm, and more time to phase out lead's use.

Should anyone want to read a narrative about the intertwined lives of Midgley, Patterson, Kehoe and lead, then this Mental Floss article is a good read. [2]

[edit] Apparently, I'm wrong, "utility" is an explicit requirement. But let me tell you, nobody ever asked me to justify the utility, not even a little bit. I think it's just assumed that if you're willing to pay the patent fees, it's likely to have some utility.

----

AFAIK there's isn't. You can patent a leash for rodents, and PTO is not going to say "it's not acceptable, nobody wants to put rodents on a leash". The only questions are whether your invention is novel and non-obvious, not whether it's useful.

As such, if you can patent stage A that produces <unuseful stuff B>, nobody will tell you that it's unacceptable because B isn't useful. The usefulness is a completely separate question, to be decided by the market.
Sure - Creating the fuel for molten salt reactors requires a series of steps where highly radioactive materials will have to be handled, stored, transported and controlled by humans.

As shown with the examples given earlier (which are just a few of many), such situations will inevitably provide opportunity for the materials to be lost or stolen. (IAEA has documented 18 cases of stolen radioactive elements from various sites that handle radioactive materials).

One of the elements needed for molten salt reactor fuels is plutonium. 500 grams of plutonium is estimated to be enough to kill up to 2 million people by conservative estimates.

Presumably you will need more than 500 grams regularly to run a salt reactor, so any number of malicious methods can kill 100 000 to 500 000 people, if someone gets their hands on even small amounts of plutonium.

I think that when people reach the conclusion that the benefits of nuclear outweigh the downsides it is usually because they haven't really considered the real downsides fully. The benefits are huge, to be sure, and tempting.

Now that being said - if a reactor design appears that would significantly /reduce/ the amount of dangerous materials that have already been created, and not require any more of it to be created, I think it would be a good idea to build such a reactor to get rid of the waste we already have.

Speaking of molten salt, I find it more interesting as a concept for energy storage. Solar power can superheat salt and use it to genereate energy even at night. A solar power plant in Spain has generated electricity continously (day and night) for over a month using this technology.

https://cleantechnica.com/2013/10/14/worlds-largest-solar-th...

I believe that we have an abundance of very promising - sometimes already proven - technologies that will let us generate stable electricity from intermittent, clean sources with comparatively insignificant risk to human lives.

Forces? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that the government of the United States has been in a game of cat and mouse with the people desiring separation? Calling them 'forces' is dehumanization.

Moderna existed for 10 years and burned through billion(s?) of dollars before they earned any significant revenue. It doesn't matter how much I or anyone else want to save a life, I don't have 10 years and billions of dollars to spend attempting it.
Looks like your typical alt-right conspiracy woo. There's no way in hell I'd take the publicly listed like/dislike quantities at face value for something like this. I assume there's a ton of caching and the distributed nature of it all to take into account.

Thinking along the lines of how reddit upvotes fluctuate.
I think the reasons for the discrepancy are obvious:

Much in the way that Reddit will fuzz vote counts, the public like/dislike counts will stay up on accounts that are shadow banned and get removed in batches so that the accounts which are bad actors will not know for certain if their vote still counts or not.

So what you've documented here is evidence of which videos are most botted.

Or perhaps view 'image possession' differently? If they're not a relation, not a photo from some sort of gathering where the possessor was present and the photo consensually taken, then.. the intent in possessing the photo is 'obviously' not good?

Really I'm just thinking about your comment in isolation though - as a whole I don't think this is a good idea, it perhaps doesn't have to be illegal but I don't personally see a need for social standards to 'slip'.

The blog post they link to as inspiration has charts on it. The charts show that, before YouTube gets involved, dislikes outpace likes by 10:1 or more...this does not pass the sniff test. They're removing spam, not hiding dissent.

It's not hard scifi, but so what? Most scifi isn't hard scifi. Ben Bova's Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy would count, I think. Nothing too fantastical there, just an extrapolation of existing science and technology to terraforming Mars.

But then you don't get any aliens or speculative technology that way. Which most future science fiction is interested in. That or robots and galactic colonization. Dune and Foundation are just as fantastical in their own way as a Remembrance of Earth's Past. And yet, they're classics and cornerstones of modern science fiction.
