Nice, makes sense. I don't know much about computer graphics. What are some examples where you'd use translated curves? Are you referring to stuff like modeling strands of hair, and you'd make them using translations of a template strand's curve? Or what kind of problems do you typically face?

Is there some kind of "compromise" option that uses parallel curves where possible but falls back to translated curve segments when there's a degeneracy? (If that would be useful at all - I have no idea)
There is certainly slimy YouTube tactics for attention and clicks, but not all successful YouTubers are doing slimy things.

If your videos are genuinely interesting and / or useful, you need to be able to convey that fact to users, before they watch it. It isn't too much to ask.

Just imagine a viewer asking you the question, "ok so why should I watch your videos over someone else's?". It is a fair question. And replying back, "you don't get to know that until you watch it" isn't a reasonable response.

If you don’t trust complex models, I’m not sure what you can contribute in a discussion on complex problems.

> They keep changing models every few years and using 'technology has improved and made the old model redundant' as an excuse for doing so as opposed to 'the old model turned out to be wrong this year so we decided to switch to a newer model which has been right.

I’m unaware of any sort of major pivots like that happening each year. From what I’ve read it’s been pretty consistent for decades that increased co2 in the atmosphere is causing increased average heat on the planet and humans are the primary cause of the increased co2. The exact results of what that extra heat does/will do isn’t nailed down but the main point of global warming is accepted science

Oh boy do I feel special right now, since I hit 2nd page (or even 3rd etc) quite often since main search became quite a spam-infested over-seod crapfest few years ago for some types of search. Some first results are outright dodgy, often outranking ie official sites and I strongly suspect only malware awaits there.

Such a shame for basically one-trick pony who doesnt understand that staying relevant long term means that trick must be and remain a damn good proposition.

Its true I eventually give up and do ie duckduckgo and if that fails I try to refine searches even more (but this rarely works since I already start with it as default)
Bayesian thinking can pay here, as well as a little self-critique.

Simply put, confirmation bias will convince you that people who do psychedelics end up on a bad track if your sample only includes people who are on bad tracks, rather than a sample composed of those who use psychedelics.

More probably (and this in my experience is definitely true) many more people use psychedelics than you might naively assume, and in fact probably the proportion of people who use psychedelics and end up on good tracks is way higher than that of those who use psychedelics and end up on bad tracks.

On a more meta-level, your searching and inquisition is still based on a more fundamental assumption, that homeless people are homeless for reasons stemming from their own decisions, rather than some confluence of bad events that leads one to ruin or another possible path to homelessness (e.g., they have mental health conditions which prevent integration into "normal" society without proper treatment, or that they simply want to be homeless and nomadic as a lifestyle choice). Empathy pays off here to temper un-credible assumptions and analyses.
That's more or less the plan. Convince some key people, maybe raise a seed round that pays for a couple years of formal pre-production, and very delicately snowball into a dream team contingent on further funding.

Co-founders can't work since I've been at it nearly a decade, but that's more for control/singular vision reasons and not equity.

People will never just spontaneously realize you exist and on their own seek out the media you produce.

They have to discover you somehow. The YouTube Algorithm is at least partially concerned with enabling people who would like your channel to discover it.

Regardless of how well you think YouTube does that, you have to admit it's not exactly a simple thing to do. YouTube is trying to maximize ad revenue by maximizing watch time. They are not trying to evenly distribute viewer attention among "worthy" channels.

Just to add, most of us AREN'T trying to become big YouTube viral influencers. My channel has 2.5k viewers and all my videos were done because I want my in-class students to have a resource to review at home. I got my doctorate and a career as teaching faculty to teach students, not become another Computerphile. I love the channel and link it regularly, but again my passion is in helping people learn in the classroom. The "Thanks!" comments and $100 a year I get from YouTube are just nice bonuses to that end.

I was being sarcastic. California gets 17% of their electricity from solar and 8% wind, but their current issues are during a sunny heat wave so solar should be going like gangbusters.
Maybe I'm wrong for immediately thinking of the worst case scenario, but the moment I saw "Pay To Watch" I immediately thought about those garbage courses that will give you the "secret" to making gazillions of dollars in the stock market. I wonder how YouTube is going to approach content like that. This definitely won't just start with "qualified creators", and even if it does, the people deciding who is qualified may not be 100% accurate (or even worse, being "qualified" gives more legitimacy to a scam product).

What does the search org look like internally? Is it connected with the ads or Chrome orgs at any interface? Do the rank and file ICs, EMs, and PMs have issues with how these products interact?

I have so many complaints about your product, it drives me wild.

How many people even look at organic results versus the paid-for ads that display at top?

It should be illegal for anyone to be able to purchase ads for another company's trademark. Apple, Google, and Amazon are all extorting companies by forcing them to buy ads to protect their own brand. (My own brand is being attacked by a competitor in this way, and it's ridiculous!)

The only reason anyone uses these systems at scale is that third parties were available in aggregate early on to provide content. You built your product off of our backs. And now that the power dynamic has shifted, we're cattle to soak for as much revenue as possible.

It also seems like the only reason Google is dominant is bad behavior. Paying for default search engine status. Being the default in all of their other unrelated platforms. Achieving browser monopoly.

I've recently started seeing Chrome ads and billboards everywhere. Google purchased a huge percentage of my city's billboard ad inventory for their "better on Chrome" campaign. It's as if Google knows this is the reason for everything. Where except for Apple devices is Chrome not dominant?

This whole cartel needs a muzzle.

Device companies should not be ad companies.

Ad companies should not be service companies.

Service companies should not be content and production companies, since they can favor their own and price pressure the rest.

We have a world where the top tech conglomerates are all of these and then some. They've cast a wide net and turned the whole world of consumer interaction into a supermarket, where we now have to pay for "shelf space" to interact with customers, pay to protect our brands from unfair sniping, pay to grow, obey asinine rules to build a product that fits their desired shape, integrate with their payments and login stack (so we're even less in a relationship with our customers).

It's a far cry from the open web of the 90's. Really bad for small companies, new startups, and even consumers. We can barely afford to build our products with all the margin that goes to Google, Apple, and the rest.

I wish the rank and file could feel this. :(

Speaking of cats purring on broken legs, i have an anecdote:

The missus was down in bed with a freshly out of surgery broken leg. It still hurt so we kept the leg packed in cold packs.

Every time she laid in bed with the cold packs, our feline owner jumped on the bed and laid down near the leg, purring. We naively thought she was helping the leg heal.

Until we finally realized she liked the cold packs! She was licking them for some reason, i think until she stopped feeling her tongue. It was funny to watch her tentatively move said tongue in every direction like she was trying to figure out if she still has it.

Later we experimented with ice cubes, ice cream (needs to be plain vanilla, no other tastes on it) and even snow. Our cat just likes something cold now and then!
I think it is good that independent media outlets transition rather than die. I liked the old days better, but I truly admit that ppl like me that came once in a while (mostly to get a totally different view in a very concrete news item) wouldn't pay your bills. For me the the tone was the USP: it signalled clearly independence from the copy and paste rest. Probably today you could achieve sth very similar with a language model, so you were probably wise to abandon it, before all other news site would have looked like yours. Still some how I believe that this could have been the better reality.

How's worst (or best) of both worlds - local shop (Lidl) makes you slice the bread yourself. You put it in the machine, pick thickness (obvs no option for what you really after), it slices it and then you have to package yourself. Whole process takes eons (minutes), it's super fiddly and a nightmare with kids and you inevitably loose a slice or two.

Would someone else slice it for me please, thank you very much.
I'm not sure "degeneracy" is the best way to think about this. If the curvature exceeds the inverse of the offset distance, you get a cusp, and in general you need to think about how to deal with those. In some cases, that will be boolean path operations (stay tuned for an update on those!). But I'm not convinced there's any shortcut where you can avoid dealing with these cases altogether.
It's not, though - when you reach the last page, the listed number of results changes to a few hundred. You can't approximate a three digit number, be off by 7 orders of magnitude, and say it's an "estimate" with any credibility.

Just before the pandemic blew up in the US, Costco changed its rules to require showing a membership card to access the food court. (You still don't have to scan a membership card to use the food court kiosks, just show it to get in the door.)

Well, I should explain: Software is created in the symbolic realm rather than the "physical" one. So, software has little to do with physics; and software is all design, no "labor".

So yes you could say "engineering" is the wrong label (and we go back to "development"), but it's still interesting that ethically they have such similar concerns.
The real meta-question here is why does everyone want to write SPAs in the first place?

This is an era of ubiquitous 100mbps+ connections, CDNs, and edge-computing-two-hops-from-the-customer hosting. The whole reason we invented SPAs (bandwidth savings and latency) predicated on AJAX has been obviated.

Some simple calculations suggest otherwise. The iPhone 14 Pro 48MP camera has a pixel size of 1220 nanometers. The diameter of the Airy disc at f1.78 for 500nm light is 2170 nanometers. Seems like Apple has designed things so that they're just on the right side of the Rayleigh criterion.

The Rayleigh criterion is admittedly pretty lax from the point of view of imaging. People often talk about digital cameras being "diffraction limited" if the diameter of the Airy disc is larger than the dimension of a pixel (which is clearly the case for the iPhone). However, AFAIK, there is no strict limit here. It's something of an open question how good smart sharpening algorithms can get – especially when they're allowed to 'cheat' by using knowledge of the statistical properties of typical real world scenes.

The pixel size for a 48MP APS-C sensor is about 2900 nanometers, so it's not 10x bigger (even if you compare area).
I was trying to think of a way to word this same thought.

That's the problem though isn't it? Unless you're an absolute expert in every aspect of a thing, you gotta trust someone who claims to be the expert, eventually. Or never trust it.

When it comes to security audits of software I often prefer to see that software failed at this or that, and was corrected, with a reasonable explanation of both the problem and the applied solution. To me, this shows that 1) the audit was actually performed and not just bought/pencil-whipped; and, 2) the developers acknowledge their [inevitable] mistakes and correct them. It also teaches me what to be aware of for other, similar software.

In other words, I would rather see a pimple once in awhile than be convinced by makeup that everything is perfect.
Churnalism as an industry is very broken sadly T_T. Advertisers want to see engagement and the easiest way to do that is to suck up to Google SEO and pump more articles on the daily. Original and accurate reporting is expensive to produce. Only the biggest publishers or ones that are well funded can afford to do this. So in order to get the reader's eyeballs and clicks, the guys in the middle and bottom tiers have to crank out news and end up rehashing what has already been broken by bigger orgs. That's why The Register mostly looks like any other mediocre tech site now. I know someone who used to be a reporter and they got tired of having to rewrite stories for little pay.

> content that warrants more engagement is going to win

What does that even mean?

I'd be careful about using the language of silicon value ad companies. It changes how you think. One minute you're talking about content and community and the next thing you know you have metrics and are trying to measure engagement and are now making decisions based off something you could actually measure and not relying on your instincts, experience, and good taste.

Instead, create videos (not content) for your fans / audience based on what you know works. Make it so good, your audience will want to support you.

I think Justin Sandercoe does a good job of this. There is a community on his web site and a community on his YouTube channel, but more importantly he has fans on every guitar forum on the internet. He sells books for people who want them and he has courses you can pay for, but they are mostly guides through his lessons which are all available for free on YouTube or reproductions of copyrighted work which he can't give away for free.

The most important thing for his success (IMHO) is that he has created a lot of very high quality videos. He doesn't do clickbait titles or images. Just video after video of great stuff.
