Refers to 2020 in the future tense… when was this published?
That's entirely besides the point.
He took a $100m to deal to publish original content on Spotify. Spotify is no longer just a library, it’s a publisher with editorial responsibilities.
Rogan was already on less restrictive platforms, which was why those episodes were available to begin with. He chose to go on a potentially more restrictive site, in exchange for an immensely lucrative contract. I'm sure if someone offered Samuel L. Jackson $100 million to host a children's show (yes, I know) he would quite willingly hold his famously coarse tongue.

Also even if your prediction is correct, that's "less" restrictive, and still not completely open. There will always be rules because whoever's paying for the service, whether it be advertisers, subscribers, or billionaires, has a list of things they really don't want to hear.
He has fringe people on his show to drive engagement. Fauci is not going to pay the bills.
On the other hand as a male in my 30s spotify recommends Joe Rogan and Jorden Peterson to me approximately every 5 minutes.

I'm just gonna throw this out there as I'm noticing it more and more at this point since switching languages.

What the actual F has happened to google search results for programming issues?

I used to be able to google a question and get, more or less, a right answer from a forum or stack overflow.

Recently, many coding tutorial websites have clearly figured out how to hack googles pageranks and now instead of one 'right enough answer', its 5 clone 'tutorial' websites, with all the same crappy answer that isn't actually what I was asking. Like I can't use google for coding questions any more. Not like I was able to previously. Also, Stackoverflow with bangs from ddg are broken and it thinks I'm a robot. No answer except to go to SO directly and search.
I also use FreeCAD for my 3D prints. It works fantastic for that. I was officially trained to use SolidWorks in university and FreeCAD reminds me a lot of that.

Two quality of life tips: 1) don't make sketches on faces, instead create a plane at the faces height/angle. I don't know why but this single handedly stopped my models getting corrupted. 2) Do fillets at the end. After you saved a backup.

Then it works great. Can't be happier, really and looking forward to it's future.

Thanks!
> No, it's actually, "ta-da, we're not conscious! but here's why we think we are!"

And of course the "think" has a quality to it that the hard problem is about. It's interesting how illusionists and eliminativists explain away aspects of SE by invoking (other) aspects of SE. "You merely have an illusion of being conscious" - that illusion is the hard problem, so now explain that illusion. I could be having an illusion of an illusion of consciousness.

Imagine something that doesn't exist in the usual physical sense e.g. a dinner table on the Moon. Does that table exist? Not in the usual physical sense. Your thought or imagination of it does, though. What is that thought or image in your mind's eye "made of"? Sure, you might be able to correlate it precisely with certain neurons and yet you've not answered the question. You might call the mind's eye table an illusion, but you're not gonna deny that the picture of it exists in some sense. Three things exist: the physical table, your neurons and, separately, although not entirely independently from the neurons, (the picture of) the mind's eye table. Hence, the latter is part of the universe and the fundamental substrate of the universe must support if somehow, in a way that's different from the usual physical matter tables and neurons. Is your visual brain circuitry involved in the imagination, perhaps even generating the image in your mind's eye? Perhaps, but this doesn't answer the question. If we're nothing but our perceptions, then what the heck is that imaginary table that I'm visualizing quite well while there's no perception of an actual table? What are the physical laws characterizing such mind's eye objects, somehow coupled to ordinary physical matter and yet not of the same "stuff"?

Models like the one linked don't explain why SE exists in the universe. They posit certain physical/mathematical strucutures and claim that if this or that structure is present, then ta-da there is SE (or the illusion of it, which is the same thing). People in the stone age had a model of that kind: "this piece of matter, structured with two arms and legs - it's conscious". At some point we developed language and the model got a bit more precise by demanding the piece of matter emit certain sounds from a specific location on their body. What we have today is no different in kind. We've just become more precise at locating the pieces of human matter to verify the presence of conciousness (or illusions). None of that says why that configuration of neurons experiences or has illusions, only that it does. Science tells us that experience is in the nature of certain pieces of matter and we just have to accept that without further explanation, like the fact that electric charge exists and follows certain rules. Deeper "why" answers are out of the scope of current science.
I’m ex-Apple, so that may help, but I was once told it’s fine to talk about anything that is in a job posting.

People are working on almost everything, so I don’t feel like I’m giving away anything shocking. Apple is a big place, though. My experience may not be the same as others.
Isn’t it fading because safari knows the HDR content in the corner is no longer on the screen?
Book burnings were hardly exclusive to the Nazis. They just showed us how it can be part of the progress to something much bigger and uglier than ever imagined. And I have to disagree on your cigarette analogy. This is so much bigger than regulation of advertising. This is about using the platforms to enforce censorship of anybody you deem offensive. This is not the same thing at all.
> All of my comments have been made to break through the HN echo chamber

You could justify anything that way. That is the sort of thing garden-variety trolls come up with.

> then the entire notion of the restrictions being due to supposed violations of the guidelines is a moot point

That doesn't follow from your premise at all.

Edit: btw, I thought I'd deleted this - I think it failed to go through because of a network failure. I tell people not to do these tit-for-tat things and try to avoid them myself for the most part (which often means succumbing to temptation and then editing or deleting after the fact). Since you've replied, though, I'll leave it up now.
Pretty reductionist. He made himself a success in more than one industry. And you haven’t listened to him. So what qualifies your opinion of him more than his opinion about anything?
> there will be some bad eggs who appear to cause havoc...

especially it's so easy to plant some people, and you have a whole league of people in modern democracies who are doing such kind of operations on a payroll.
> To put it bluntly, cancel culture is anti free speech by definition.

Trying to duck consequences by crying 'cancel culture' is itself an attempt to stifle speech. When consumers protest a business, they're using speech, not 'pressure,' because in that context 'pressure' isn't a real thing. There's government action against a business, and there's plain old real world consequences.
For sure but he’s certainly got the cash to buy the equipment himself.

We always say on here that cloud hosting only works until your business grows to a certain size. It seems like Rogan has hit that size.
I second your experience with 0.20. It's much more stable.
I don't think anyone claimed that a government protection was being violated. It's you that saw "free speech" and apparently assumed that meant the first amendment and the US government.

There are ways in which I can legally attempt to suppress the speech of others, for example I could threaten to evict guests from my home if they bring up certain topics. That is clearly an action which goes against the principles of freedom of speech but it is not a violation of any of the protections provided by the US government.

Whether such an action on my part is morally justified will be highly context dependent. For example, perhaps I don't want certain topics discussed in front of my children in my own home?
Please don't do this type of stuff. We are adults capable of having discussions without needing to tug on Dan's skirt especially considering the increasingly heavy handed moderation here. You're actively eroding the culture of maturity here.
"We also have made available four video clips of the wheel in action so that students may download them and use motion-tracking software to analyze the wheel’s motion. "

> No.

Ooh! Please show me how I can publish to Apple's App Store, using Apple's SDKs and devices to build the app, without paying $99/yr for an Apple Developer Account. I'd quite like users of iOS devices to be able to use my apps and services.

Hi @qdequelen, thanks for that comparison table, I've never seen that before.

Thank you also for putting indexing speed in your priority, I'm sure there are other people with large datasets who are also looking forward to it.

It must be challenging, each search engine has their own best use cases right now, different requirements, and different trade offs. E.g. typesense requires decent amount of cpu and ram, quickwit allows s3 storage but doesn't support document update and delete operations yet, lol. Lovely progress too on each projects.
There was a game very much like this on the NES called Pyramid[1], and it is notoriously difficult/painful to play, though a lot of the pain is in the repetitive score.

It also had a very wide playfield though, which made clearing lines take for EVER. Playing well also involves making good use of bombs to fix mistakes, because a big problem with this as a concept vs. normal tetris is that it's possible to make unfixable gaps.

Wow I moved from Spotify to Apple about… 6 months ago? My experience has been better than Spotify. Searching in the olddddd Spotify apple (pre electron days) worked so well. But then they broke it when moving to electron and never fixed it.
Isn't all that stuff fan made?
Looking Glass doesn't put windowed applications on your desktop as if they were native apps, and doesn't auto-suspend when no activity is detected?

If these aren't features you need then you could just say that, instead of writing dismissive non-constructive comments.
Predictably, people break out the C-word. Every business decides what they sell and what they don't. Do they also complain about censorship and shout at the manager of a shoe store for not selling books? Spotify decided they don't want to sell those episodes of JR. That's not censorship, it's business, and it's very different than if it's done by the government.
I just read his statement for the first time, it's quite interesting. He doesn't actually mention Rogan by name, and instead targets Spotify explicitly: https://neilyoungarchives.com/news/1/article?id=Spotify-In-T...
It doesn't say they weren't PRC citizens, so I'm assuming they were resident in Turkey but weren't considered tourists by the authorities (regardless of status, not condoning their actions).
On the flip side, Apple is incentivized to encourage paid apps and subscription based apps in order to collect revenue. Purely advertising-driven apps just cost them hosting and support.

Historically they have not offered enough options here, such forbidding time-limited trials and not providing specific guidance for companies who wish to sell paid upgrades to new major versions. Apple's (arguably workable) solution here was entirely based on subscriptions.

That said, the ease of use of subscriptions and the high variability of billing amounts/periods has caused them to be the preferred mechanism for App Store scams.
Sure, but:

1. Lots of correct scientific ideas were considered outright heretical (not just merely fringe), prior to mainstream acceptance. If you exclude 'fringe' ideas, you exclude the bad ones and the good ones.

2. People who get duped will simply stop listening. Example: This week I was duped by a youtuber, and will never rely on that source again [1].

To be fair, most fiat currencies today are effectively pyramid schemes with how the 'assets' in question (paper bills or numbers on a screen) only have value because people think they have value and they think they'll be able to purchase goods with it. The only difference between fiat and crypto is that fiat is often backed by people that can print more money/manage the supply, and integrating crypto into daily lives is a tall ask when the transaction fees can cost more than the amount of currency traded via that transaction.
Google is a product search engine, if you want to buy something local, or search anything local use google.

For any other query use duck/bing.

I find duck better for general stuff and bing better for programming stuff.

For streaming websites or controversial content use yandex as they bring up random blogs and small unknown websites.
I have following 3 suggestions regarding analogies.

[1] Analogies in Fundamental physics

Lecture by Douglas Hofstadter: Albert Einstein on Light; Light on Albert Einstein
: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePA1zq56J1I

“Where does deep insight in physics come from? For those who view physics as a highly rational science grounded in strict mathematics, it is tempting to think that it comes from the purest and most precise of reasoning, following ironclad laws of thought that compel the clear mind completely rigidly. And yet the truth is quite otherwise.

One finds, when one looks closely at any major discovery in physics, that the greatest of physicists are the most daring and are constantly being guided by blurry, instinctive, nearly irrational mental forces. Albert Einstein ideally exemplifies this thesis.

In this talk, I will discuss the eternal mystery of light, which, over the course of millennia, was puzzled over, pondered on, and slowly worked out by a series of great minds, and finally, in the nineteenth century, was definitively settled with clarity and rock-solid certainty. And yet one day in the early spring of 1905, quite out of the blue, came an absurd-seeming new suggestion from an unknown Swiss patent clerk, third class, clashing violently with that rock-solid piece of collective wisdom. How did the brazen patent clerk come up with this crazy idea? How it was received by the physics world? What was its eventual fate? And what can we learn about the workings of the human mind from this twisty story filled to the brim with ironies?”

[2] Analogy as the Core of Cognition : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8m7lFQ3njk

In this Presidential Lecture, cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter examines the role and contributions of analogy in cognition, using a variety of analogies to illustrate his points.

[3] And the following book,

Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking
by Douglas R. Hofstadter, Emmanuel Sander

Analogy is the core of all thinking.

This is the simple but unorthodox premise that Pulitzer Prize–winning author Douglas Hofstadter and French psychologist Emmanuel Sander defend in their new work. Hofstadter has been grappling with the mysteries of human thought for over thirty years. Now, with his trademark wit and special talent for making complex ideas vivid, he has partnered with Sander to put forth a highly novel perspective on cognition.

I think its much more than the sunk cost we would lose. There would never be another.
Sure. Possible sequences of events in a concurrent or distributed system. Model checkers in languages like TLA+ have to contend with this. Of course in the real world only a single sequence of events actually occurs, but you have to know that your system works on that sequence whatever it is. The AWS TLA+ paper noted that at scale you’re basically guaranteed to eventually hit whatever combination of events blows up your system if such a sequence exists. Murphy’s Law of distributed systems I guess.
At least for me there's nothing in spam either. And I've tried with both a gmail address as well as a self-hosted one so I'm confident the issue is not on my end.

Making up your own definition and then getting angry when other people are not using it is certainly an interesting way to debate.
If we are to believe advertisers are so great at their jobs, why can't they produce any meaningful metrics that don't commit egregious sins of statistical analysis?

Here's a thing that I am absolutely convinced happens. Ad network tracks purchases. Ad network track ad impressions. Ad network correlates the two and finds that 90% of people who saw the ad also bought the product. But they conveniently "forgot" to check if the ad impression was before or after the purchase.

I'm confident this is happening because the only times I see ads for anything I'd be interested in buying is after I've already bought the damn thing.

As a long-time developer, almost everything sets you up for that because many programming jobs get to be disappointing in a few or many ways. Just like a lot of jobs in general. A few programming jobs make use of lots of CS, most are cranking out more CRUD interfaces or UI controls or setting up build systems or whatever. Set your expectations right, aim high and pick your emotional battles.

CS is just math until you write working code, don’t forget it. I don’t know those profs, get the best grade you can from them and leave their sorry selves behind.
It is actually very similar. China is making the same mistakes that the USA and other western countries did 100-150 years ago. That doesn't excuse anything, of course, but the similarities should definitely give the Chinese government some pause (it won't, but it should).
The very post you are replying to was in the upper half of the front page when you replied to it five minutes ago. There are 317 comments. What does "cancelled" mean to you?
I've worked on a bespoke science experiment not too dissimilar to JWST (though much cheaper). These types of machines never resemble anything like mass produced parts. All of the tooling is custom made for one shot. The next machine will be the same story. What we take forward to the next machine are the lessons learned and technology developed.
It's actually less severe than restriction on advertising, since it's the voluntary decision of a private media entity, not a government enforced restriction on published content. (Under pressure from another content provider, Neil Young)

It is much smaller than restriction on advertising.
I had 40K+ taken from me by US Bank after a payday in 2020. Writing the CFPB basically generated a response that "We're returning your money to the processors who send you money" from US Bank.

Guess who never reached out to me to ask why my bank was returning transactions? My employers.

When I called them to ask what had happened, their "Fraud Research & Gap Analysis" VP was shocked that this only caused a mild inconvenience to me (mainly because I split my payroll between a bank and a local credit union) and then pressed me to get the name of my credit union.
Hi from Florianópolis too!
The people who are unhappy with him dont generate revenue for them though. In fact some of them are massive monetary losses.
Appreciate the effort, but my example was for clothes load sensing (what it does before determine the water required.)

I've watched it at work and as best as I can tell, it takes inertial mass readings by wiggling the drum using a specified current, and measuring how far the drum oscillates. Or maybe it predetermines the amplitude and measures the power required?

I'm just guessing. What I want to find out: is either of my guesses close? Is there something else I'm not seeing? Why does it do this 4 times in a row? (In between "wiggles" it will rotate the drum a few times to—my guess—redistribute the load and get an average from the four readings.

Maybe its rose-tinted glasses looking at the web of yesterday, but I have this sneaking suspicion some nerd out there has an entire website devoted to arcane appliance details like this. I would very much like to find and bookmark that site!

I agree that as a publisher who paid a hefty sum for the exclusive rights to the content, they 100% have the right to do this.

I'm just saying this general trend of cancellation and suppressing views that don't fit squarely in the box of "whatever society accepts at the moment" (which by the way changes by the minute) is troubling.
Python has been the worst for me; it's almost impossible to find the official documentation for modules/functions.

Defining search aliases or custom search engines in the browser with URLs like '''https://www.google.com/search?q=site:docs.python.org+%s''' is probably the reasonable thing to do.
