> So he's just a crank because he likes Bitcoin now?

Read it as "he's a crank and also likes bitcoin".

Anyways. There's undeniably a massive PR campaign right now to get retail investors into crypto. Fucking football players and media personalities are taking paychecks in bitcoin and posting PR-drafted tweets about it.

Even if I were still long crypto, I'd be sitting the next few months out. Way too reminiscent of dotcom -- folks who know nothing about finance, investing, or crypto are "investing" in highly volatile speculative vehicles. This only ends one way.
With the amount of talk about Bun on the Twitter account compared to Bun's own homepage, I'm surprised that bun.sh doesn't at least have a link to the account

Fair, you could use a lot of other platforms to do the same thing.

But you can't fault me for plugging CoScreen ;)
If you know ahead of time that you are going to use it like this, you can use a purpose built Thermal Store. It's a huge insulated water tank that you heat up, and then you extract heat from it by running mains water through a heat exchanger with the tank water.
Typically used by people with wind, solar, or burned fuel energy supplies to smooth out energy consumption and soak up extra energy when there is too much. Also by people with variable electricity pricing to soak up free excess energy from the grid at night and heat their home for free all day.
What about... number of views : number of likes ... ratio
> Most creators (and trolls as well) don't even know that option exists, so that option alone doesn't do anything meaningful.

So we're going to fix a UI fail by censoring dislikes on every video? How about just making the option more apparent as your posting a video? Why should everyone be deprived of a feature just because some people don't know another feature exists? This logic is baffling to me.

> I personally suspect that this is a step toward removing the dislike button at all (which is an obvious way to eliminate this attack vector) but they're just not ready to remove the button due to some other factors.

And now you just admitted you don't think it's just because people don't know that option exists. I honestly don't know what you're position is besides that whatever Google does must be right.
So you are telling me if I make single production vehicle I can sell a company for 1B?
Too soon to say. Policy plays a big roles here and chinese policy debates are mysterious. It's possible they want to crash the real estate market, and reverse out of the appreciating real estate setup. Trade off between middle class wealth accumulation and housing affordability.

They're currently reversing out of the college cram school thing. There's some sort of similarity here.
No, I think you don't know how the proposed CSAM scanning works:

1. It's only done on cloud photos. That person would have to manually save each photo to their photos library (with iCloud photos turned on) for the scanning to occur.

2. After reaching a threshold # of photos automatically flagged, a human reviewer has to confirm that the photos are illegal before any action is taken.

So just texting someone even real CP won't do anything.
I mean does that even matter anymore? We have company go public that are still losing billions of dollars a year and nowhere near being profitable. I do see your point but I think the world is way past caring about foundational basics anymore.

A lot of comments about the inconvenience to the viewer given this was how we decided whether to watch a video.

But I think the dislike ratio will still decide whether a video is suggested to you, so will still determine whether you end up watching the video?
The British stations for that were called Y-Stations, feeding data to Bletchley Park, "Station X".
Why do you considered that ratio "gamed"? Seems like a normal reaction to deplorable behavior. Calling it "gamed" kind of proves the point that this is about silencing actual criticism of actual bad behavior rather than some poor innocent creator getting slammed by random internet mobs looking for scalps. How do you defend her buying herself an award in a transparent attempt to paste over her behavior?

> I often use like vs dislike ratios as a gauge on whether a video is worth watching

You summarized why Youtube is doing it. Sure harassment is one aspect of it, but this drives up the clicks for Youtube and therefore the ad revenue. I'd be curious to see if people get overly annoyed by how many unworthy videos they watch and thereby reducing overall engagement.
The "in my experience" sounds suspiciously like "in my experience of being extremely well networked with the partners and them being interested in startups my friends and I work with based on our recommendations alone". Yeah, I'm sure partners are more likely to invest in a YC startup or one with a warm intro from a PG-level figure than one their associate stumbled across, but that's not much help if you're not in YC, and you're going to be even more discriminated against if the partners don't know who you are.

I have a hard time believing VCs pay associates to approach founders if their partners never do any deals based on those introductions.
Yeah, I don't think people will be pulling pure silicon crystals at home any time soon.
Notably, none of the the algorithms tested in the cited study are Apple's NeuralHash, or comparable algorithms. They look at aHash, pHash (plus a variant thereof), dHash, and and PDQ (used at Facebook for similar applications, apparently). The first 4 date to between 2004 and 2010; the last is more recent, but conceptually similar - the citation [0] for PDQ puts it in the same bucket of 'shallower, stricter, cheaper, faster' algorithms as the first four.

No one has proposed any of those as 'illegal image detectors'. Apple's NeuralHash may or may not be robust to the same or different perturbations but the cited study provides basically no new information to inform the conversation its press release wants to be a part of.

Full disclosure, we still use hackerrank for just this internally.

I just think if a candidate scores a 70%, I don't expect them to be better or worse than a candidate who scores 100%.

Having criteria to perform an interview is one thing, but if your interview is just to go in with another toy challenge on a whiteboard, I think it would be much better to do a demo project, and immediately pair-program before making the decision to hire.
"Way back in the '90s, I had a friend of Indian descent whose sister worked for the FBI. She said her sister was always getting pestered about moving into investigative field work because no one would suspect she was undercover."

I used to work in D.C. in/around DoD and Middle Eastern affairs. Not the Lords work, but in a geographic area and domain that people just associate with spooks. Even now, as a software engineer in a non-related field and metro area, upon hearing about my background everyone, and I mean everyone, will at some point joke about me being a spy or working for the CIA. I find it funny that no one has ever thought that this also means I'd be the LEAST likely to be anything clandestine. I think half of it stems from the fact that I'm just an average white dude from the Midwest; My brown or black co-workers were never seemed to be suspect.
And for people who are sensitive to downvotes, there's already the option to make them private.

I really don't understand this move... this will seriously limit our ability to filter bad content. I hope that they'll provide an alternative.
i largely agree with your points.

I think the ousting (quitting?) of Ives is a sign that apple as an aesthetic force is ending, and the return to "logical" macs instead is a sign that they're reverting going too far. Its an acknowledgement that they have to do more than make pretty devices.

I see a very similar path to luxury car brands for luxury electronics. A mix of status, comfort and performance. I wouldn't be surprised if the "pro"/"pro-sumer" line of devices diverges even more into the future so that we have $2k iPhones. Similar to how car companies have $200k+ cars, and $75k+ cars that effectively don't compete with each other and let them invest in more expensive efforts, that serve as flagships. Alternatively, go the racing-car route, and invest in high-end engineering efforts that way. This could be similar to your "forking" idea in that they get exposure without subjecting it to mass scale.
Why would be poster of a video receive special privilege for videos that they post? That would be like a seller being allowed to remove unfavorable reviews of their product. That the reviews are not under the control of the seller/poster is the only reason that they would be useful at all.
If you want a comparable experience, assign a difficult task to one of your developers, then tell them: "I am going to watch you solve this problem. Talk me through it as you do so. I'll judge the result, if its not good enough I will have to fire you on the spot. Also this is timed. Proceed."
Another example of this: pronunciation videos.

Downvotes are a massive indicator if a chosen video is inaccurate.
It doesn't sound like the guys understand how ZFS CoW works? So let's say the machine crashed after InnoDB had written 4KB out of a 16KB data file page to the filesystem. Due to CoW, the old data file page would still be there, unmodified. In contrast, on XFS or EXT4, without the doublewrite buffer, the data file page would be corrupted.

I have a lot of respect for Marko Mäkelä, as he seems like the only one who tries to steer InnoDB away from an evolution dead end. For example, in https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-24449, he fixed a corruption bug that had existed since the very first InnoDB commit. At the same time, he also tries to simplify the internals, unlike Oracle who just churns out features along with regressions.

But there are always more corruption bugs within InnoDB. I am not even sure the log checkpoint mechanism is sound, where it does a fsync of the data files first, before getting the checkpoint position from memory, which may have moved forward after the fsync. This behavior also exists since the very first InnoDB commit.
The patent situation was exacerbated by the fact that JPEG2000 started getting pushed right about the time the GIF patent situation blew up so everybody was reluctant have a repeat disaster.

Add in the fact that JPEG2000 showed at best a marginal improvement over JPEG and it's not hard to just stick with the proven technology. Having no good reference implementation is just a nail in the coffin.
What YouTube recommends to you is just that, their recommendations. It doesn't reflect the actual amount of content that exists, it reflects what YouTube wants you to watch to drive engagement. It might be 0.001% of content but make up 30% of the recommendations YouTube gives you.
It doesn't look good.

Shorages also happen when you don't have enough production capability or transportation capibility. See most of what is happening durring the pandemic. I can assure you the price of containers and wood have not been fixed.

Of the two states you mentioned, California is also faceing a housing shortage. I would hazard that the same factors that are causing that shortage are in play for their power problems as well.
Consider variable-length integers for file sizes and string lengths. When I need them, I usually implementing what’s written in MKV spec: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8794.html#name-variable-si...

That’s a good way to bypass that 4GB size limit, and instead of wasting 8 bytes per number this will even save a few bytes.

However, I’m not sure how easy it is to implement in the language you’re using. I only did that in C++ and modern C#. They both have intrinsics to emit BSWAP instruction (or an ARM equivalent) to flip byte order of an integer, helps with performance of that code.
Yeah it looks as if the input used in generating the next answer weighs a lot. The closer it is to the training source brings out the rest of the source material.

That is not a safe assumption at all. You're assuming the total number of votes is proportional to the view count. But a more provocative video will prompt more people to vote

The resolution of these instruments is astonishing - and literally a new window on the universe.

Obviously, being able to detect amplitudes so small is key to this whole project, as the sources are so distant (and presumably the inverse square law applies).

This makes me wonder how these phenomena would appear much closer to the events - how close would we need to be to perceive with our senses the passing of a gravitational wave, and what would it look like? I'm guessing some kind of passing tidal forces would be felt — has anyone done modeling to figure out what that might be like?

How close and how much amplitude (or would frequency be the killer?) would be required to start damaging ordinary material objects? Is it so close to the source that you're already doomed in the black hole's grip anyway, or would an event at the center of our galaxy be perceptible here? Would the waves rip apart nearby stars (for what value of nearby), or be noticeable in their spectra as some kind of ripple? It'd be cool to get some kind of a sense of the scale of these events' affected zone.
Congrats on the launch!

I've been using Foam [1] for the last year, which is an open-source vscode-powered aternative to obsidian. There seems to be a large overlap in features. What benefits does Dendron have over Foam that would convince me to switch?

Not material since they have saturated there initial markets, per the narrative. But sub in Apple of you prefer.
The real explanation for this evaluation is that the investor class has decided to offer stock on the public market only in a way that there is basically almost no upside potential left for the retail investor, only downside. This is basically an attempt to make cash while transferring most of the risk to retail investors.

I am 100% convinced that this will end like the .COM bubble.

A good friend of mine has been working on low resources NLP for a couple years now. A few months ago, he joined Mila Quebec AI Institute under Yoshua Bengio. Where it is hard to find transcribed audio, regular audio is just as hard to come by... Until you start mining all those forwarded audios on WhatsApp.

I used to get mad every time my mom would forward a 30 minutes audio that she knows I would delete before opening. And I used to delete them all. Now, I download the audio. Label the language it is in, and add it to my friends shared training data folder.
Liking is overloaded, you "like" a video and it also adds it to your favourites. Which if public could be a reason not to "like".

Dislike has no other effect that I am aware of. For this reason it was always broken as far as I'm concerned.
Sure, but many "Normies" are aware of this dynamic and adjust their expectations accordingly. If some video critical of gamers, anime fans, or WoW players gets piled with downvotes it's no mystery. Same with political content. It's well understood that controversial things get more negative reactions.
The Craft Is the End
recent political pushes aren't being well received, with sentiment being very negative on WhiteHouse media pushes, mainstream narratives around vaccines and the like (on YT). Normies are swayed easily by dislike bar, so the elites at YT are trying to hide it -- just like reddit hid the downvote count, to enable astrotrufing campaigns and overall shill activity many years ago.
Of course this means making a third party reader means re-implementing QuickDraw and probably getting some nastygrams from Apple's lawyers.
Whenever I need to call a new number (and I do it often - because companies, state etc.) I manually add the country code to it. Because they often don't add it themselves when putting it on their website or in a message. If I use it as it is and don't add the country code, the moment they call/text me back the phone software considers it a different number because the caller ID actually includes the code.

That's your belief but you have no evidence to prove this. And even if true, why does the entirety of content of YouTube need to be punished for the undesired behavioral patterns that YouTube has cultivated on controversial videos they've pushed on everyone?

Sorry, I'm not suggesting anything about the fundraising methods or tactics. I'm just talking about the general idea, floated often in comments on threads like this one, that our budget and/or reserves and/or endowment are unjustifiably large already, as typified by comments of the nature "How much does it take to run a few servers?" and similar.

I get that the article and other comments are about the fundraising, but my comments are not trying to address anything particular about fundraising methods/tactics.

By year 8, they'd be selling 2 cars per person on the planet - so any extrapolating that this growth rate can continue for even 4 years - must think we've reached the singularity and will soon be living in an alien world.

Neither of those have ICE versions (and did not have ICE versions in any recent years), so you can make up any number and say the EV versions are $X more expensive.

I think it's kind of the point, as we can't really quantify "character". And that's phrasing straight from Microsoft.

This enjoys some delicious phrasing: "Customers acknowledge insights related to the individual user's behavior, character, or performance materially related to employment can be calculated by the administrator and made available to others in the organization."

> Yes, even your character is being examined here.
Can't even remember the last time I looked at likes/dislikes of any video I watched. Play count stopped having meaning (to me) at least a decade ago.

That said, a couple of years ago I somehow ended up on a channel with literally hundreds of videos. I swear, the average view count of this woman's session was way below one. I just wonder how is that even possible. Spent about 10 minutes clicking on random videos and well, it was sad. Real sad. I wonder if she would've kept going if numbers were hidden. I think she would've bailed long time ago.
Oh amazing! Personally I've never heard of or used L-Arginine and know absolutely nothing about it. Not sure what other reasons there'd be for using it but yeah, glad to hear it makes radiation therapy better for cancer. Maybe there are other uses for it but I wouldn't know, I don't have any reason to know about this substance. It could do anything and I just simply wouldn't know because I don't look up random chemicals in my spare time. I have never stumbled across this chemical while googling things.

Great article.
In the middle of fund raising right now and talking to many associates, as well as some partners. So an informed discussion would be very helpful. For example, what should we say to VC associates so they can pitch the deal favorably to the partner.

For context, all the funds we're talking to is from warm intro from a fund that's already going to fill the round.
Yes, that amount in that time frame and from only those companies extrapolates out to millions over a larger time frame and with any companies in that category. Again, if anyone is really concerned they’re free to conduct detailed research. I feel extrapolating is reasonable enough to make a forum comment.
This looks really great. Didn't know about this company until now. Will have a close look as the phone seems amazing.

Thanks people post such pearls on HN!
