It looks like ~300,000 videos are uploaded to YT daily. What percentage of videos do these "dislike mobs" mobilize against?

0.001%?
0.01%?

As I said, they are hardly a thing at all.

PDF doesn't encode something. PDF supports a few data formats. They call them "filters"; for example CCITT Fax, JBIG2, DCT, RLE, etc. Its up to the PDF creation program to pick the best data format for the image it would like to put into the PDF.
I really do think Go has a discovery problem. Function signatures don’t tell you hardly anything, does this need something deferred, what types does it implement, etc.
You might be interested in the concept of personalized call centre customer service based on personality markers developed by Taibi Kahler, who also advised NASA on astronaut dynamics.

A counterpoint is that at least on reddit the downvote button is rarely well used. It's always a "I disagree" button, so both bad and controversial things are pushed down. It's not the case here in general I think, but I actually think this is a good argument in favor of removing dislikes. It filters some bad things but also just controversial things for one reason or another.
How did they know he'd win the presidency and be running the White House Youtube channel?
I've gone through the same thought (and emotional) process. I guess if you're enjoying it and it brings you happiness, that is the best reason to do it.

We have some advantages that only accrue with age. It seems you have a nest egg that lets you do what you want to do, that's a major thing. Also, you have a professional, social and experiential foundation that serves you in good stead.

I'm happy for your enjoyment. Best of luck!
Agreed - the fundamental political structure is flawed. However we don't know how long it will take for that structure to break or change. Currently Xi is making some moves (with the historical resolution) to retain power indefinitely.

There are also economic problems in China that Evergrande has brought to the attention - the wild speculation in real estate that is concerning for the party to maintain control. As well with the tech crackdown recently. In broad brushes it points to some problems over there (manageable probably - but risks for control of the party).
Seems like the ideal language to write a new, European and sovereign implementation of Marcel, the French docker.

The fact that you need something to survive doesn't mean that every transaction providing it is coerced. Do you consider it coercion when you shop at the grocery store?
I think your advice is good and matches with other advice I've received in the past, but my disconnect is where does the impetus come from to release the neurotic motivations?

A large fraction of the people I have known were able to do so because of a major wake-up call such as: flunking out of school, being fired from a job (or multiple jobs in a row), or hitting "rock bottom" with substance abuse.

My neurotic motivations kept me at "On academic probation for 7 out of 11 semesters" instead of "flunked out." If I went back in time and gave this advice to my younger self, I would not have taken it because when you are afraid of drowning, you won't let go of the driftwood to swim towards the yacht.
I think the Baker book is good for an overview. I also used Pierret's Semiconductor Device Fundamentals in undergrad. It goes more in depth for device physics than it is a pure manufacturing text, but I recall it also had a nice overview.

Margins will initially be better on EVs for all EV manufacturers.

Right now, where there's an electric and a gasoline powered version of a comparable model, the electric version seems to cost about US$10K more. See Ford F-150, Chevy Bolt, BMW iX.

That needs to stop.
Than Java 1.14? Yes. Lighter is true of current Javas as well, but faster is dependent on the program. Go can often prevent garbage from being generated in the first place, but when creating garbage is a must, Java will happily handle heaps up to a terabyte in size, and its GCs are simply the state of the art.

Also, Go most definitely has a runtime, what runs the GC otherwise?
People are going to be running existing software (Windows 10 and Linux) which do not have support for Alder Lake. These schedulers don't know to handle the SIGILL. What you'd get instead is applications randomly crashing as their threads migrate to the E-cores. I'm sure they'll get there eventually, but they probably just didn't have enough time.
Critics say that - true. But first of all, those critics originate more from Milton Friedman school of economics. Or the Austrian school.

And honestly, as the work of economists like Card/Krueger show - many of the so-called common sense economics understandings have very shaky evidence foundations.

Long story short, there is very little data in evidence of such claims.
Compilers and interpreters need a new pass to detect these characters in code and treat them as hard errors. This doesn't stop their use in comments where presumably they are still ok.

Alternatively, there needs to be an uptake of the use of code linters and pretty printers.

A bit of both perhaps.
I just canceled my premium subscription. I'm not taking this lightly, YT has been an important part of my life for as long as I can remember. But at this point it feels like the responsibile thing to do is to vote with my wallet. Not that a change in course is likely; their leadership has been hell bent on ruining the platform for years.
A little experiment: on a limited sample of random videos, it seems like around 1 of 30 people watching will use the like/dislike button. Seeing that a video with 3.6 mil views that has only 9.5k likes would give you a rough estimation of how many people disliked it. Is there a real study on the subject? It seems like it could be used as some sort of heuristic if there is nothing better.

I believe it is something to do with bit depths. JPEG2000 can support up to 16-bits whereas H264 only can support up to 10-bits. So using H264 8/10-bits could produce noticeable artifacts when it is being used in a big screen. So using JPEG2000 will alleviate the artifacts since it have higher bit depth as it have extra space for more information to fit in.

Here another article [1] I found recently that discussed why Movie theaters use JPEG2000 over popular video format.

I can understand the frustration about being affected by a change that feels like "punishing the class" but sometimes there aren't really any better options. The problem is that the existence of a button that hurts the creator means that there is a natural incentive for people to weaponize it as such. Every forum has had to come up with a solution to brigading and review bombing are there are really only two answers -- identify and police downvote brigades and review bombs or eliminate downvotes altogether.

The forces that push a platform to the latter is there being a constant stream of outrage when platforms identify a brigade and delete their votes to avoid poising the the data. It's easier to just change the system to eliminate the problem entirely. This isn't really an isolated incident, even in the tech space people have been rallying for "removing comment sections" because they've been a cesspool since their inception. YouTube is one of the last platforms to make this change.
Great question! The precision is not just better than the wavelength of the light. It's also way smaller than the surface roughness of the mirrors! How does it work?!

Like you suggest, and adding to what sleavey mentioned above, I would say the answer is: averaging over time and space. The laser beam is pretty wide, so it averages over a significant area of mirror surface. (The optical system also selects one spatial mode of the laser beam.) And the stated displacement sensitivity ("1/10000 the width of a proton") only occurs when you integrate over the sensitive frequency band.
And Reddit handles this, in general, by giving vague ideas of vote counts and not showing the real number. Why can't YouTube do something similar?
Oh yeah, I wasn't commenting on that article directly. Just adding that any discussion about matters on the ground in China will always get warped because every information broker has a strong incentive to push their agenda. CCP will always want to make things seem rosy and perfect. Western Media wants to make it seem bad because drama sells.

No, let me try it now and see if it is better than the dozens of other tools already openly available.
Government already admitted to pointing Facebook to accounts to be deplatformed. Government and social media collusion is now best assumed to be going on. All that matters now is how much the companies are incentivized to push back. The answer: not much.

If this change happened or not due to such collusion is secondary to the thing worth noting: it would not be surprising if it did, it would be consistent with the governments positioning if it did, and it would also be hard to prove if it did, and if it was proven it would be vociferously defended by legions of commentators and the media. All that would need to happen was for the government to suggest the downvotes on pro-vax vids were contributing to deaths and ergo liability, and suggest the whole feature serves as a mechanism for disinformation they may be liable for in general, perhaps criminally so if the feature can be traced back as a proximate cause of something like the capital riot. Poof.

> Electric will also present opportunities for ongoing service revenue (value-added services such as in-car infotainment) that automakers have tried for years to break into (unsuccessfully)

And thank God for that! It's bad enough that automakers are trying to put third-party repair shops out of business.
> The flaw in this study is that the two groups weren't really assigned the same task.

The real flaw is that the title doesn't follow from the research. "Tech sector job interviews assess anxiety, not software skills." That's saying that you're really measuring level of anxiety, not skill. So skill is irrelevant and you're just measuring how anxious people are.

But the study didn't show that at all. It just showed that on average, people perform better when they're not anxious. Not exactly a surprising result!

Of course people are going to be more anxious in an interview. But if it affects everyone equally who cares? Just make your questions easier.
It seems like YouTube just shuts off any interaction whenever a problem crops up. The "fix" for issues with comments on children's videos was to disable all comments on the videos.

Which works, I suppose, but if you take it to it's logical conclusion we'll end up with there simply being no user interaction at all.

When most people see 'interactive film" they think "choose your own adventure" but our implementation is more like an enhanced DVD standard- we call it DVD++

While watching the film in the executable you can "jump" into a full 3d version of the scene and explore it, listen to commentary, play/pause the cutscene and read notes etc.

There are also multiple soundtracks and multiple visual looks you can change while watching the film- you can also adjust the basic visual settings (brightness, contrast etc)

If you have any feature suggestions please let us know as we will start on our next interactive film soon- thanks.

Just give them an initial five minutes or so to digest the problem themselves before asking them to communicate. Or even a few couple-minute long breaks throughout the interview where they're not under the microscope. Or some other way to lower artificial pressures.

This unwillingness to experiment with the existing interview format, the intransigence to consider any alternatives, is simply maddening.
The are two forms of negativity in my comment, which come from different sore spots in my contact with JS bundlers

1. bright pink marketing page that wants me to join Discord just to stand in line for access to some release of this software in the future

1. claims of how great a new bundler is in the face of many, many, many, many, many projects started over the years claiming "oh, yeah, those esbuild jokers are no good, but I used Zig so my bundler is going to work much better"

Now I do appreciate that maybe the author wasn't the one who submitted this "pre-release software" page to HN, but nor did I try to comment upon any such twitter thread to express my opinion -- I weighed in on the HN thread as a nod to others who may come to the comments first in order to get the tl;dr before loading up the page

Also, if jarredsumner's twitter is the authoritative source for why one should bother joining Discord, then the site would be well served to provide a link to that instead of linking to Zig as the compelling "read here for more info"

What's great about this reply is that the pivot to (in particular) Azure is exactly what has changed the narrative and thereby driven the most recent growth in the stock.
This seems to be a really valid point
I went back to look at when they first changed from star ratings to like/dislike, and it seems like they were thinking about going even further and removing the dislike option entirely even back then.

They made some comments[1] before that change:

> Seems like when it comes to ratings it's pretty much all or nothing. Great videos prompt action; anything less prompts indifference. Thus, the ratings system is primarily being used as a seal of approval, not as an editorial indicator of what the community thinks about a video. Rating a video joins favoriting and sharing as a way to tell the world that this is something you love.

> We're glad there are so many awesome videos on YouTube, but all of this begs the question: if the majority of videos are getting five stars, how useful is this system really? Would a thumbs up/thumbs down be more effective, or does favoriting do the trick of declaring your love for a video?

You can't vote for a game on steam unless you own it, that makes brigading mostly ineffective.

Yeah. I swear Google has been burying Wikipedia as hard as it possibly can. Most of the top so-called "organic" results nowadays are commercial sites full of ads. Every year, Google squeezes more value out of their search engine at the expense of users. In the long run this should open the door for competitors to build a better product.

Personally, I want to see an open source search engine. The world desperately needs community-run search that helps users find real information and real communities while filtering out all of the spam and other commercial garbage that has been gradually strangling the web over the past two decades and a bit.

I think some of the pieces are already in place to do this. Community-run blacklists for plugins like uBlock Origin are comprehensive and well-maintained. A repository of crawled pages is already available from Common Crawl [1]. What we need is a search engine that makes use of these resources to index and rank results so that pages without ads and without obnoxious heavy Javascript are pushed to the top of the results page. Ideally, this engine would allow users to run NoScript and have a really smooth experience searching for and browsing clean sites without having to add stuff to their whitelist all the time.

As long as you can make sure they don't rot before people move in. There are pros and cons to both approaches and I have personally seen the downsides to not building enough housing. We also allow far too much speculation on residential real estate in the US for my liking. People's livelihoods shouldn't be traded commodities.
Downvoting on HN is poorly implemented. It should take an hour or so after the initial flood of votes before showing to the rest whether it is upvoted or downvoted. It is essentially encouraging 'bandwagoning' phenomenon - "Others have thought this out for me, I'll just downvote it and move on" instead of giving the comment a fair chance especially if it is disagreeing with constructivism and civility.

The most eggregious abuse on HN is flagging things that don't deserve it. Comments about inflation a few months ago were being flagged constantly or categorized as 'right-wing'. That's straight up censorship since the content disappears for most users who don't know the show-dead option in settings.

Flagging is great for spam and rude comments - I am down for that.
It’s a matter of taste. Some people like the Tesla frog face, some like Rivian. Rivian looks okay.
I disagree about this. I have a whiteboard at home just for programming work because it helps me think. When I find a problem difficult, I find it much easier to problem solve away from the computer. And I often prefer a whiteboard to paper for some reason.
Yes, good move to increase view count. If you don't have a like/dislike ratio to judge, you're more likely to play it and watch at least a bit. Everyone wins (at Google): more ads, more money.
MS valuation to some extent is basis their ability to sell more Azure. Cloud is still growing very very fast.

It is also noteworthy that MS is getting good growth in Windows license revenues too as they have opened up a subscription model, lot piracy in the consumer/SMB markets have reduced especially in developing economies. They are not getting billion new users, but a lot of newly paying users with consistent recurring subscription revenue stream they are now generating .

Fair enough, though I'm a little confused at the gigantic threads that have remained unflagged that basically make the same statement (albeit from the "other side" - that YouTube is defending Democrats, the White House, etc).

It is impossible to discuss this without it becoming ideological, and the asymmetry is exactly why it is a massive problem.

Sure, 37% isn't "most", but I think it's a fair guess that if 37% supported Trump, well under 50% of the total are socialists.
