"So why did they consume this content on YouTube and not on Stack Overflow? Because that's the way they are used to searching for answers"

No, it's because they searched on a technical topic and the Stack Overflow hits ranked lower than this spam. There's a shitload of spam-bucket, search-trap sites that scrape Stack Overflow and re-host its text in a column full of ads. I mean... pages of hits of them. Now we have auto-generated videos doing it.

Again, Google's vaunted algorithms don't do shit about it; even worse, Google REMOVED the ability to block specific sites from search results. Despicable.
Totally true. That's just the closest thing to actual information we have.
USDT is the fuel that powers a lot the crypto ecosystem. Good luck trying to move USD around between different places in the crypto ecosystem (especially outside office hours). While possible it's complicated, slow and has terrible uptime.

It’s a carry-over from the era when a college education was a Veblen good for the wealthy and connected who would have gotten a job without it anyway. Not a serious policy prescription.
I cannot believe that this guy has made Google more money than he's cost them. Millions of videos is a huge amount of space, and almost all of them have close to no views. His most popular video of all time has 78k views.
Agreed. To go further, I think people don't even want quality content. And on the internet, they just want the feed. They don't want reccomended videos to choose from. They don't need a comment section. The search bar doesn't even matter. Turns out the best way to engage people and get them to use any platform for hours is to just give them a feed. It's why TikTok, YouTube and most Meta products all have stories that just autoplay. That's the future
But, how are you going to make the decision in the future whether or not someone is sober enough to have sex with?

That isn't the criteria, the criteria is whether or not the victim is too drunk to consent. How can you know this?

I don't think you would if you were the rapist who had misjudged the drunkenness of the other person
This really dips into conspiracy levels: Tether has many customers who can redeem USDT for real dollars. Many companies do this and are very open/vocal about this. Our company has done this as recent as late last week.

>>Both the big parties in the UK have some degree of internal democracy for choosing their next leaders.

It is also my understanding that it's purely because they chose to do that. They only need to name a prime minister, how they decide on one isn't defined by law.

>>He had to win a vote by the Conservative party membership (anyone can become a member).

Again, the point is that the PM is chosen not by the general populace, they are selected within the winning party.

>>but it's not comparable to the Commission where the commissioners haven't won any votes ever

The commission is comparable to the House of Lords at best, where the people aren't elected either - both of them only advise the parliment though, neither the EC nor the house of lords can pass any laws by themselves. That's why it's "allowed" - the Comission has no real power because it relies on Parliment(which is democratically elected) to make the final decisions.
if it helps, you could use middleware in next.js to handle routing to separate folders easier.
I would hardly call this trumpficication. That is reading left/right politics on people's deamand for action on a complex issue to something irrelevent.

The closest you can even make a comparator here is that it's a loss of freedom from the whole vs from a very large "minority". Please don't view all politics through the same lense or else you end up worse than those you seek to condemn.

This is more akin to the fact that US military police the bases in the UK for internet tapping and UK military in the US to justify that we're both spying on each-others citizens which makes it "OK".
It is sadly quite common for our politicians who are untenable nationally, to send them to the EU. From what I’ve heard, it’s similar for at least some other countries.
Byzantine is exactly the right word. Weak maybe not; a united EU would be the most powerful economic superpower in the world, and in some ways, the EU really does wield a lot of power, and often for good. But most of the time, the EU is very divided. And sometimes that's good, because it does justice to the diversity of opinion, and sometimes it's unbelievably impractical, because the EU fails to act or acts too slow on things that require more action.

But byzantine is absolutely right. It's in a very large part backroom politics. Between democratically elected national governments, but still very opaque, with insufficient checks and balances, with too much access by corporate lobbyists (there was a time when two different factions proposed literally the exact same law independently from each other, which was clearly written by lobbyists).
>> and the powerless parliament is only there to give the entire the thing the appearance of being democratic

What makes you say it's powerless? I'm genuienly curious. In my opinion it's the comission that is completely powerless - it can't do anything without the parliment agreeing, and the parliment is under no obligation to agree with them.
I agree with you that there's a problem, but I think your solutions are kind of naive. All the logic you talk about in your proposed solution can be done with data that youtube has. In almost all cases it has a basic idea of who you are and how you view the videos. It could implement what you suggest tomorrow. In fact I suspect that it probably does do something like you suggest. The core of the problem is more about incentives and resources than the actually algorithm.

Your incentive is to find informative or entertaining content, you have about 10% of an FTE to achieve that. Youtube's incentive is monetize your attention and has ~2000 FTEs to achieve this. Creators are incentivized to try and maximize the amount of Youtube's monetization they get a share of about ~1,000,000 FTEs to achieve this.

That last category is in an adversarial relationship with the first two categories and they have way more resources. Even if Youtube's incentive was aligned with yours - which it isn't - the content creators are in a battle to the death to optimize how much share of the money they get which means they're incentivized to do almost the exact opposite of what you want.

My point wasn't to denigrate people for having poor taste or whatever. I don't care what people watch. And I'm not one to talk - I sometimes think of buying one of those McMansions from McMansion Hell.

But my point was that the systems are working as intended, and that there is no real failure here - people are seeing a reflection of their peers. It was hard for me to understand it until I saw how my Zoomer cousin watched Youtube like it was a TV station. Youtubers aren't "gaming" any sort of system, just like SEO isn't really "gaming" Google (for the most part) - they're both gaming people. SEO tricks work because it gets clicks. Clickbait titles have worked for 10+ years now because it STILL gets clicks.

But this sound like politician speak to me, just blah blah.
When I worked for what was the fastest growing public publisher in London over thirty years ago, salespeople actually shared their tax slips to boast. "Super tax" was the euphemisms for how much was calculated you needed to have deducted from your payroll every time you hit a campaign out the park and increased your tax offices estimate of your annual return. Which we did. Often. See the Guinness records book for the PGA tour guide of'93 which was the apotheosis and the end of that lark. (Almost all advertising it weighed six pounds or something crazy but quite sane compared with the first dollar points paid to direct sales)
This is true. But here's a thought experiment. What would happen if, say, an illustration-drawing AI (it's just a more fitting example than prose) is trained only on art from before the 20th century. It would surely excel in 19th century or medieval style illustrations, and yes it would produce original ones. But would we ever get a 20th century art style from it? By which I obviously mean even an alternative 20th century style? There are different tiers, or layers of creativity, that's my point I guess
Yep, and this is one of the major sticking points among the educated people in the UK who voted for brexit.

This may sit well with some, but not with others. It has almost certainly created a large political divide close to the philosphical lines of the role of govenment being either to rule or to govern.
PWN2OWN Vancouver 2022 – The Results
While I agree that the RISC-V V extension is questionable, it does not necessarily make decoding into uop more complex.
When the vector register is allocated there is a known vector register size, and we have then 3 ways to go:

1) Producing several uops for each cut in the vector register;

2) Producing a single uop with a size field, the vector unit know how to split the operation;

2) Producing a single uop size-agnostic, the vector unit know the size from the vector register metadata.

The worst is probably 1), it will stress the ROB, uop queue and the scheduler, and make the decoding way more complex. But solutions 2) and 3) keep the decoding simple and are much more resource efficient.

An implementation aspect that may be complicated is the vector register allocation depending on the vector-unit microarchitecture (more specifically, depending on the vector register file microarchitecture)
I disagree with the policy, but this article is far less well-thought than other commenters think.

* That child abuse is largely familial is irrelevant. It is precisely long-term child abuse which becomes CSAM.

* That 10% of children are abused is a large figure. That, now, c. 70% of CSAM is children generating their own material (using presumably scannable devices), provides a significant justification for scanning those devices.

* That police forces are ineffective at combating both abuse and CSAM is irrelevant. Government's ability to prioritise child abuse in policing is presumably sensitive to its effectiveness, and other policing priorities. If the EU could pass a tech regulation law to cut down a vast amount of online CSAM, then why wouldnt they?

* The government isnt a unified entity, like a person, with some coherent set of priorities. Speaking of it this way will always induce some paranoia. The police's priorities, EU's tech groups, EU states, EU police forces, etc. are all different orgs with different, incoherent, actions.

I think the issue of children now being the major generators of CSAM here is perhaps the key one.... I suspect there's a counter-proposal here which requires children's devices to have optional software on them.

Disregarding the capability of half the human population to understand journalism goes beyond 'uncomfortable terms' in my opinion. It's downright moronic and harmful and proponents of that view don't merit exposure in any kind of marketplace of ideas that values integrity, human value, etc.
Well that's a contradiction - if it can't legislate, then it's not a legislature, is it?

If you mean that the "laws"(they aren't laws technically) don't apply anywhere until actually accepted and adopted by the EU member states - then yes, that's very much by design.
> If you trust these attestations they have a lot of treasury bills and have increased their cash holdings by a couple percent so fingers crossed for those holding USDT.

This is the big if. They only do attestations, they don't allow proper audits and fired their auditors once when they got too nosy. It might have changed since then and they hold more cash or "cash-equivalent securities" (another iffy point), they still have never been properly audited so everything boils down to a very big "trust me"... US$80b of value is under that trust premise.

I wouldn't trust these people but I'm just a lowly drone in the bigger scheme of things.
It seems to me that your argument is circular.

Your refutation of the possibility of to use Nuclear power to gain independence of Russian energy seems to depend on German inability to achieve indepencende of Russian fuel by setting up a stockpile(1).

Which in turn is justified by claiming that the stockpile would not be needed, since they would shut down their nuclear plants(2).

Which is justified by (1), which is justified by (2) and so on.

My argument is that, had Germany decided in 2014 to increase, rather than decrease their use of nuclear power, with the aim to reduce dependence on Russia, it could be done. But given that, they would have to start looking for (possibly in cooperation with their allies) other sources of fuel to really become independent, in other words, set up agreements to buy fuel from countries like Australia and Canada, on top of whatever fuel was being bought from Russia before 2022.

Basically, my argument requires BOTH of these steps to be taken:

- Decide to keep or increase energy production from nuclear

- Decide to work towards independence of Russia by funding alternative sources + by putting any extra fuel they purchase into a strategic stockpile.

(Edit: formatting.)

These are clearly decisions that were available to Germany (as a country, provided the public had been primed to support them). I don't find the spot in your argument that refutes any of them, without already assuming that the other is impossible.

Also, I don't find where in your argument, in what way these decisions, if taken together, would NOT ensure that Germany would have more energy production capacity in 2022 than they have now.

I'm confused. Is your point that the rates in Xinjiang of forced sterilization and IUD implantation--in the general population, not merely in prisons--is equivalent to the rates of forced sterilization in American prison populations? I think that's exceedingly unlikely; there's no pattern of forced sterilization in American prison populations, though indeed a shameful history of such practices (e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jun/30/california-p...). Compare that to population-wide sterilization campaigns in Xinjiang: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22311356/china-uyghur-bir....

And if that is your claim, is your point that a population-wide rate of torture and forced sterilization equivalent to that inside American prisons is...acceptable?

It's really unclear to me what you are trying to say with your repeated analogies to other human rights abuses. That there are multiple bad things in the world, so we should give up on trying to criticise them?

I don't think anyone takes the American Cancer Society to be saying that death by heart attack is good--merely that their focus is on cancer. So too, critics of systemic, widespread, and officially sanctioned torture and genocide in China are not saying that other torture--be it systemic or not, widespread or not, sanctioned or not--is somehow better. They're merely focusing on one particular hotspot, where the offenses are particularly stark.

Those who, like you in this thread, say, "But what about X", are hard to take on good faith. They never seem to be saying, "Let's also talk about X", or "how can we eliminate all torture." Rather, they seem to suggest that critics of widespread Chinese torture are somehow anti-Chinese, that the motives should be questioned, and, by implication, perhaps that well-documented Chinese torture does not exist.

It's deliberate obfuscation for the purposes of disinformation, as you are clearly engaged in here.
My guess is these were exchange IOUs or "commercial paper" and no USD was involved in this burn.

I'd argue the abusers have more control over their behaviour, not less. They have chosen to act this way because they fear no reprisal.
I guess the reason is that the runtime of node is so much larger than that of Python and PHP. I think the Node runtime is already at > 50MB as a binary.

I don't know how large Python and PHP runtimes are, but I know python is often stripped down to a few kilobytes for embedded systems.

I guess if you preload the runtimes before executing these commands, the execution should be fairly similar for each one (near zero, more depending on I/O).

I love their cordless vacuums. Mine's approaching 6 years with no issues whatsoever. My previous (corded) Dyson vacuum also works perfectly to this day, bought in 2006 and used at least every other day (because dogs) for 10 years. It fell down the stairs a couple of times, too. Really robust in my experience.

The cordless one does not quite match the suction, but it's so much more convenient and sufficient nonetheless.
I've worked with both. There are days when I prefer a programmatic approach, and days I love the file-based router. With the introduction of routing middleware [0], Next.js finally offers anything I'd want to build.

An option would be to add a catch-all route [1] at the root and implement your own code-based routing. You can still define the desired paths using getStaticPaths [2] but my guess is that some functionality like route-based code splitting will stop working.

In theory yes. In practice I haven’t seen any of these issues in years. And the last time I did see issues was due to case-insensitive file system which is easily fixed by running local code on a case-sensitive partition.

And many of us have a staging environment for QA anyway, so if the odd issue did sneak through, it wouldn’t be a major problem as it wouldn’t make it to production.

I mean yeah, but a good teacher can point out your mistakes that are not obvious to you at the entry level. When it comes to i.e. music, such mistakes can make a bad habit that impacts the following development (wrong hand position, wrong fingering, etc). I don't know if that extends to math though.
