> There comes a point where Youtube is not saving money by automating their content moderation but Youtube decides to keep pushing forward. At some point a competitor that is good enough will arrive and once large creators like this one, around 1.5 million followers, almost every video with over 2 million views, 8 videos with over 5 million views, leave they will pay attention.

We're waiting for that competitor for last 10 years. It ain't fucking happening.

Hell, MS tried that with Mixer, they outright bought out few of the big content creators on Twitch, didn't worked.
I met a young and apparently highly intelligent AI researcher the other week who confessed to me that he thought fiction (books but also movies etc) was a waste of his time: there was nothing to be gained there.

Being a lover of fiction myself, I huffed and puffed and he challenged me to name him a book that would change his mind. Usually when people ask me where to start in literature, I advise them to start at the top (Chekhov, say) because life is short and you might be dead tomorrow and then you missed out on the best. With an antagonistic reader like this , I am not sure that is the best choice though.

Any tips would be welcome!
How do you think google competitors will have access to all those user to form the cohorts without having the browser or google analytics code everywhere?
technically that's still not billions.

It's still crazy to me that people are paying all this money now for a product that still isn't delivering the promises of 5 years ago though.
Nier automata is one of the most subversive games I've ever played over 30 years of gaming. The fact you played like 1-2 hours and dropped it doesn't qualify you talk about the game not having a unique story.

I can get you don't like gameplay or whatever and find it boring. But formulaic and predictable are the least descriptive words for this game.
(very late reply, only just saw this)

I'm not claiming to have never made a similar mistake. I have messed up in production a lot. But I would definitely recognise from this episode that the lack of good tooling led to risky, rushed, manual processes that can easily go wrong.
Couldn't you also interpret these results as: meat is hard to digest and requires a lot of work on the part of the gastric system. When you don't eat it, the gastric system is able to down-regulate.
Does he mean that there are facts about who values what? And people value different facts more or less (i.e. economics of information)?

Also we should stop talking about facts as truth and instead assume we always mean "provisional facts" with differing degrees of certainty.

Digressing just a bit, I feel that facts and values aren't of the same type in the same way that electrons and protons kind of aren't atoms (the exceptions make the analogy somewhat richer).

That is somehow maybe values compose to form provisional facts like terms compose along with a copula to form propositions. This also lends itself to the notion that there should be a third category that is more often than not helpful to emphasize. This would be something analogous to argument in logic or chemical reaction in chemistry.

Lastly this makes me wonder about the relation between explanatory, imperative and declarative sentences and also dependent clauses which I imagine people have commented on. (I imagine none of this is new)
Disco Elysium is an excellent game, but it doesn't stand out all that much in the sea of text heavy video games. It could be the best story ever told, but Nier: Autoamta would still be the better video game, because it itself tells a very compelling story, undeniably in the upper echelons of the medium, while also, and this is the most important part, actually melding gameplay, plot, and real life interpersonal relationships in a way no other game has done. Every single aspect of Nier: Automata hinges on and is uplifted by it being interactive. What Nier: Automata does is wholly unique, it could only be done because it's interactive, and everything it does is great or better. That is why it's possibly the greatest video game ever made. No other games has reached those heights.
Google claiming that they’re in it for the long haul, or any company for that matter, means almost nothing. If they didn’t say that, it would be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yes, it does. Mastodon heavily emphasizes its moderation features. Pleroma has some moderation controls but does something even more powerful with its MRF [0].

> You'll mostly find cynicism.

There is a lot of optimism here that is misplaced actually. Many people here believe we will do things soon with ai and medicine etc that won’t be possible for a very long time, but there we go. I find it refreshing to have the cynical views instead of the dreamy eyed ‘oh Elon’ stare. The guy has a reality distortion lens, but not like steve jobs; Elon seems to actually believe that the endgoal already exists in the products he is selling or building now.

It’s a take I know well from software development; we started something basic, ‘a few steps’ are needed and then we have a revolutionary product so we talk about the last part only (aka Vaporware) as if it’s real. The team actually believes it like it already happened or will happen any second, even though the development will take years still. It is very dangerous in a lot of situation, especially when it is not actually known if it’s possible at all in the current setting (like fully autonomous cars).
Looks like its MAUI now. There's a few MAUI courses on Udemy.
Don't agree. Like the commenter upthread, I have for some years had the feeling that my language is bloated with subordinate clauses, and that I use too many ten-dollar words. It's easy to use flowery language to conceal from yourself the shallowness of your understanding. So I get out my Xacto knife, and cut out the crap. Sometimes.
> if there are clear rules (like for example existing laws) of what is allowed and what not the scale really doesn't matter

If that were true, then mature legal systems (which have had hundreds of years if not more to reach a point of clarity) would have very little controversy except possibly around newly passed laws.

But we observe the opposite. Legal systems which have been around for centuries creating tens of thousands of very-well-documented cases clarifying how these laws were applied, nevertheless find themselves constantly addressing new controversies.

> Why are humans the only species to have reached such an incredible level of intelligence relative to all the other species on the planet?

Maybe they went extinct shortly after attaining similar technological levels as us, and we humans just presumed them (eg dinosaurs) to be stupid reptiles?

In fact, given that homosapiens and our close relatives roamed the earth for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s quite a spooky question to ask why only in the past couple thousand years we’ve been able to build a technologically advanced civilization.

If you are on Mac I'd strongly suggest Safari.

If you are on Windows or Linux I'd give Chromium a try. While still bloaty as its the basis of Chrome, it's essentially de-Googlified without anything extra that Brave might bring.

If there is one thing good about Chrome dominance, its that at the end of the day its core Chromium is open source so we can have a non-Google version of it while still being supported.

> The result is a single commit saying "Adds feature foo". I don't feel like I lost anything in the squash ... am I missing something? I really don't want to have "fix lint, address review comments" in the shared commit history.

Neither.

If you're doing it then way it's done in Linux, you will end up with neither of those. Instead you will have: "Add a new geometric engine with tests", "Add the geometric engine to view API keeping backward compat", "Use the new view API extensions in the main window renderer", "Implement behaviours for feature foo in the renderer", "Hook up scripting extensions, keys and menu options to make feature foo user-accessible", "Add basic documentation for feature foo".

No "lint", "reviewer feedback", "fix typos" or "I changed my mind and reverted the last revert" trivia goes in the history.

You should not in general submit your minute by minute trivial actions, indeed the commits submitted are usually not even in the same order as they were written and refined

Nor are the above individually complex, logical, meaningfully revertable and bisectable changes squashed down to an unhelpfully crude one-liner "Add feature foo" with a 5,000 line diff that touches most files in the project.

Some would say the logical changes should be separate PRs. To some extent, but it depends how fast you wrote the feature, whether the round trips make sense, and how involved in the nitty gritty you want the feedback to be.

The ideal unit of review or feedback, ie PR size, is often larger than the unit of a logical change. That's because the "future why" is not so apparent with individual changes, so people tend to zoom into the weeds instead of using appropriate context. In so doing they also tend to use up their reviewer attention budget so the other changes don't get the same scrutiny.

Think about the feedback to the first big logical change "Add a new geometric engine with tests": "Why are you adding this? What is the motivation?", or "This works but the API has these unnecessary warts" (warts you have to explain will be necessary in 3 PRs time). You can either have a chat in the PR feedback where you have to persuade someone that the rest of your plan makes sense, not easy if they can't see how it does. Or you can present the later changes all together as a group and then the code speaks for itself, much more convincingly.

Surely you can’t believe this anymore with the discovery of computer science, AI, type theory , etc?
People love their nostalgia and will consume derivatives of their childhood favorites for that reason. It wasn't always like that, in the past when you got older you had to develop new tastes, so producers had to keep innovating. But the way we consume media now, people are content to binge watch a bunch of derivative Star Wars series so why do anything different? And they even get their kids to join in with them so you have the next generation covered to some extent too

this is by no means meant to replace fulltext search, with term omission tolerance, typos, stemming, etc.

fwiw, i wrote this to replace a frontend search strategy that was originally based on MiniSearch and [apparently] gave underwhelming results and/or performance.

since you seem to be familiar with MiniSearch, perhaps you can help improve the result ordering for this:

https://leeoniya.github.io/uFuzzy/demos/compare.html?libs=uF...

this is my fundamental issue with fulltext searches. even if the result order could be made sane, how do you find the "junk cutoff" (there clearly is one). at least it does seem to place the best results on top, though ordered haphazardly, which is also true of FlexSearch.

boiling things down to a single relevance score, and making the user tweak various boosting knobs to nudge things mostly [but not perfectly] into place seems like a dogma that most of these engines suffer from.
From where do you geht the 600 billion figure? I only know the 500 billion figure from an INSM study from 2016 but that was an estimste for 2025 (doubtful that it still holds up) and also include things like transport infrastrukture etc.
Nuclear is by far the most expensive technology and keeps only getting more expensive. They are also not insurable and the waste problem is not solved. Appart from that they are also basically a big target.
All individuals are different but when discussing all cause mortality.. yes I think that is in reference to potentially everyone.
In a barely literate pre-industrial culture, yes, dominion = abuse. I know firsthand how peasants treat animals, and if you went to a country in poverty you'd see it too.

And it is explicit in one quote

Genesis 9:2-3 - The fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth and upon every bird of the heavens, upon everything that creeps on the ground and all the fish of the sea. Into your hand they are delivered. Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you.

Everything in dread of mankind (ok, 'dread' may have changed its meaning a bit), and - explicitly - "shall be food for you". Again: "food".
Not exactly. They are all tech stocks, but NASDAQ has large cap tech stocks, which 'only' saw a ~30% drop YTD in the index.

The ones I invested in were growth stocks that saw particularly steep corrections of around 70-90% when I invested.

My bet was that though they were overvalued, it was an overreaction that would on average get me a ~3X return in 3 years.

So yes, they are similar, but IMO the similarity was an overreaction that was not based on fundamentals. As mentioned earlier, I'd make the same bet again now for all but Peloton.

Keep in mind these are longer-term (3+ year) investments. If you watch the market, the wild swings (especially in these stocks) still tell us the market doesn't know how to value them.

Back to the OP's question, to get any significant outsized return you often have to be contrarian AND right. I felt I knew enough about the fundamentals of these companies and the market that I had enough confidence to make the bet. Only time will tell.

The privacy issue is obvious. If my browser is funneling all of its traffic through a specific VPN instead of letting my system handle it, I have to wonder whether that choice was based on the VPN operator wanting to see my data or cooperating with someone who does.

This is like finding out Microsoft decided all internet traffic on windows should be proxied through their servers. Could there be a benefit? Yes. Does it raise serious questions? Most definitely.

As someone coming from social sciences, I agree with author’s assessment that scientific method used in academia isn’t suitable in explaining human nature or behaviour. However, a lot of at least sociologists are aware of that. I would suggest to author to read Wallerstein’s Herritage of Sociology [1]. Wallerstein thinks that social sciences had to imitate the method of natural sciences in order to survive (meaning to get the necessary funding).

I’m out of time right now, but if I remember I’ll write more about it in the afternoon. Wallerstein and Braudel are one of the few authors that influenced me the most during my studies and changed the way I perceive both Sociology as a subject and society around me. Couldn’t recommend them more.
I understand for overflow exceptions, but I would have expected the cost of a register flag to be zero or near zero, for example, in an integer adder?

It also doesn't look like to me the cost of a software check can always be trivial. It can be for a single operation, but an advantage of an overflow register is that it allows to check for a group of operations as a whole (check/branch just once and abort), which is what is probably practical to do algorithmically. In such scenario switching to software checks for each op and/or bound check the inputs sounds by far not minimal.
