Ask HN: Has YouTube instituted playlist length limits
I’m getting errors from youtube about the length of my private playlists. Never happened before.

Is this new? Is this a technical issue? Or a product redesign?
Do you think you can find that study?
If you’re harvesting the energy from photons into heat, you’d want black. Any photon hitting your sail would be absorbed, and give you its momentum and energy.

If you’re harvesting the momentum from a photon into momentum for your spaceship, you’re better off with white. A photon being reflected gives you its momentum twice. It’s first (briefly) caught like the black sail, imparting its momentum, but then it’s re emitted and hurled away, like a cannon, giving even more reactive momentum to the sail
Well, maybe not directly, if given the proposition... but through agency, many do. I mean, someone has to be working the remote jobs to have such popularity.
>but how is C's "everything is a memory leak" any better?

now there's a spicy take, i've been programming in C since 2005 and i don't think i've ever heard about this "everything is a memory leak" principle.
This sounds like a funny joke even though I don't get it.
To be frank, I disagree. A large amount of thinking at a level higher than day to day mundanities revolves around understanding how to think abstractly and critically. Something like calculus, while completely worthless to many people, teaches concepts like:

things that seem overtly complicated are not necessarily, things that appear simple and small could be wildly complicated, and the process of telling the difference through practice, skill, and experience;

how to think in ways that are beyond sensory;

how to build knowledge on subjects that can provide context (if you know how to perform limit functions you can more accurately estimate what a limit function would look like and then apply that concept or estimate) to the real world in abstract but useful ways.

General intelligence exercises is just a term to mean “teaching people how to think in a more abstract way”
Depending on your mathematical background, you might find working through the Art of Problem Solving books [0] good preparation as they would build an incredible mathematical foundation for you.

Honestly after working through those books, you could probably complete self-studying an undergraduate mathematics curriculum.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."
Your wording, especially the "Not true" puts it in your own voice.

Not to mention, just repeating Musk's statement in the context you did (as a response to someone explicitly disagreeing already) implies that you agree with it.
You have the first prerequisite, the desire to learn! Try to find resources which nurture your interest, until it grows into the will to learn. I find the history of mathematics and how it came to be, its role in the rise of civilization, to be quite inspiring.

Between YouTube, and maybe the right blogs or online classes, it seems like a motivated person could learn almost anything online. There’s also a social aspect, we learn by talking about things with others, sometimes as pupils, other times as peers, and even teachers. Try to teach concepts you’ve learned to other people.

Finally, you can’t learn math just by reading or listening, any more than you can learn to play soccer just by watching matches. Math is a problem solving art, you have to resist the urge to peek at the answer until you’ve exerted serious effort and put in the time.
And most important , it's always to the point,not some bloated website with half of copy pasta with decade old tutorials ,and plus point arch wiki always have great references in footnotes ,for eg original kernel docs
WXLCKNO is referring to the BMW M3, specifically the "BMW Traffic Jam Assistant".
lifeminusminus, working on bad tech teams will literally take years off your life. You could try and ask yourself, "focus on the future, where are you going?". To me, that feels like a geographical cure if you don't understand how to break your patterns.

Imagine flying to different places to live the same dysfunctional over and over again. If you don't make a correction now, 8 years of the same patterns could easily turn into 25.
Looks like an interesting tool from the landing page. When I tried to create an account with Google it asked for fairly expansive permissions:

- See and download any calendar you can access using your Google Calendar

- See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar

Are all these needed? Why would you need to delete a calendar from my account?
for some reason I love the idea of these devices.

Obviously the use is now trumped by an always connected phone but i'm thinking of uses where the internet isn't always available. Something like this could come in handy if you kept it in your glove box in your car and it was good at keeping a charge for lengthy periods of time.
As an engineer, I see little value in removing any sensors. No matter how noisy or limited they are, they bring additional information which, if processed, could improve overall accuracy. This is commonly referred to as "sensor fusion". So this is probably is purely cost-saving move. While I understand how radar could be expensive, I am not sure the saving on much cheaper ultrasound sensors is worth the loss of additional information about the environment.

As Telsa Model 3 owner, I can attest that their automatic parking rarely works anyway. They should be adding more sensors to improve it, not remove them.
I think that transcendental meditation could help you as i suffered depression in the past when my dad passed away. You can find a transcendental meditation teacher at tm.org. It helps me a lot.
I think Knuth also created news.ycombinator.com, google.com, and facebook.com. He refused all google stock, however, since they implemented map-reduce incorrectly, using a set of filters. In the case of fb, he was outfoxed, because he didn't have the documents to prove that he created all the algorithms for matching faces.
Let's be real. We are currently IN a recession.
> Too bad there's a $10k annual deposit limit.

It’s $10K per tax identifier, so if you’re married you just doubled it. If you have kids, each of them can buy $10K as well (though be sure to understand that you’re permanently transferring the assets to them, you can’t take it back it’s effectively an early inheritance).

You can also buy $10K as a corporation, LLC, or anything else with a tax identifier.

This seems to focus a lot on the word usage too, which is useful.

Would be great if this combined with PowerPoint Online with Speaker Coach somehow. Then both deck, pace, clarity and word use are addressed. PowerPoint does some of it, but not to the depth that this seems to do it.

The camera ensures you are paying attention with using Autopilot or FSD. For example if you pick up your phone, it will alert you to pay attention and eventually shut off.

Why repeat the same statement in another message?
The excess tax revenues was also caused by overly inflated IPOs and more than normal capital gains. At least in CA, if the surplus is large enough the government is legally required to give the money back if not spent.

Gavin Newsom in this case is acting like Robinhood. Taking from the rich and giving to the less well off.
YES!

If you want to feel differently and are willing to spend effort on change, a therapist can hear you say that to them, and then help guide you through various steps to feel differently, and also be there to support you through the process of change.

"Anxiety is great until it's not." -probably someone

My experience with therapy helped me to recognize and choose not to doubt and undermine myself, resulting in overall improvement in happiness. So, Yes therapy has been helpful for me.

Also, it is ok to seek out "new" therapists who're still under supervision themselves.

If your equity grant is still over a year away, consider that if you started a new job today, you’d also be waiting a year for your first equity grant. But at another company, the grant might be actually something you can sell.
We won! Emacs vs VI war over. It's finally over thanks to Knuth! VI users will be forced to pay reparations, and agree to cede territory back to the Emacs military alliance. :)
Your eyes are an incredible set of cameras. They have huge dynamic range, extremely accurate and fast depth sensing capabilities, huge focal distance range, and mounts that move incredibly quickly and precisely to point at details.

There are a lot of good reasons why you shouldn't think that today's cameras are equivalent to human eyes. There are a lot of good reasons to believe that cameras will never be equivalent to human eyes.
And if I’m not mistaken RTM wrote a sizable portion of this site you’re posting to; which is immensely ironic.

> I didn’t know what I wanted to do for a career until I was almost done with graduate school (I have a bachelors in history, a bachelors in linguistics, and a masters in educational psychology - I’ve worked as a professional programmer for nearly 25 years). My kids have gone to college, but they didn’t know what they wanted to do either. My oldest daughter is a semester from graduating and has finally decided what she actually wants to do - in a field wholly divorced from her undergraduate degree.

This is why I strongly advocate for taking a gap year - or 2 or 5. Kids need experience - broad real world experience being exposed to lots of different things - in order to determine what turns their crank and rises to the level that they (a) know what they are getting into and (b) actually want to do it for (possibly) the rest of their lives.

This focus on moving from birth to career in one unbroken path increases the odds that people commit the sunk cost fallacy - with their life! - continuing to pursue something only because they started doing so without really knowing themselves. What a silly waste of this one and only magical life.
Legally, a layoff is when the employee isn’t replaced. A termination is when they are replaced.

A layoff based on performance is still a layoff.
The 'anabolic window' has largely been disproven. Depending on your goals though, from a resistance training perspective you typically need to be in a caloric surplus (although not an excessive one) to put on muscle.
In any decent sized metro area inconvenience is a big deal.

My family had a weekend at a popular vacation spot about 80 miles from where we live (about 2 miles from the downtown area of Melbourne, Australia).

The drive takes roughly two hours door to door.

We’re in a suburb that happens to be on the right side of the city to be close to the GA airport, but it would be a 20 minute drive to the airport, say a 30-minute flight, and another 20 minute drive from the destination airport to our accommodation. If you could do the transitions between car-plane-car in less than 20 minutes total I’d be very surprised; net result, you’re saving maybe 30 minutes on the trip.

If you could put VTOL ports within 10 minutes walk of each destination (say 500 metres) you could cut the trip down to less than an hour.

To be fair, the amount of luggage you’d have to carry/push in this scenario might well still tip the balance in favour of the car for the holiday trip, but there are plenty of other scenarios where similar trips are made without the need to carry a mass of luggage where the VTOL is a massive win.
Removable battery and nice standby time. Nice. I see some unlocked versions on Amazon. Lots of mixed reviews.
That is similar to what car length adaptive cruise control does. In heavy, fast traffic, you won’t get your 7-9 car length though, due to frequent cutting in and weaving around you.
By that I mean a more intense war with a higher risk of going nuclear, over Crimea specifically.

I'm not a fan of giving in to the demand of bullies either... but what bullies have the ability to trigger the end of the world as we know it?

But sure... this is all based on the idea that simply surrendering Crimea would cause this to stop, which isn't guaranteed. Russia has shown it doesn't care to keep promises.
That's one of the things that's confused me about those sorts of programs. Is the friend supposed to mention that they are getting paid for their recommendation? It's such a weird thing.
> something as trivial as Shakespeare

Please tell me you are being ironic? I’m no particular fan of Shakespeare, but to call his work trivial and to ignore the impact he had on western culture is… short sighted at best.
A charitable interpretation of the comment above would assume that the taxes being collected are primarily the result of printed money, or at least that the fed's printed money forms a large portion of these revenues which are again being redistributed. It's actually quite sneaky. Print money to stimulate the economy and then tax it back out to redistribute. You just printed the poor into 'wealth', but did it in an incredibly roundabout way that saves all the politicians face.
The interest isn't in dictating the specific kind of cable, but rather in having a single kind that's universal. It's the industry that converged on USB-C by itself, not the EU bureaucrats.
I wish modern OS could keep up with my typing and window switching and app launching and ...

I'm constantly perturbed and interrupted when some app window just 'hangs' for a few seconds (some garbage collection going on, probably?). I can't pinpoint any one thing, just... everything seems relatively slow in 2022 compared to, even 10 years ago, and certainly 20. Applications weren't always phoning home to check things during bootup, which I suspect happens a lot now. Our computers are dozens of times faster than in the 90s, and, computationally, some things get done much faster, but others - around UI, it seems - apparently regress.
True. I can agree with this. I guess I say fine in the sense that its more forgivable for a 12 year old to cheat. I would never suggest a 12 year old shouldn't be punished if caught in the act... or even retroactively.
How does the performance compare with tensor rt? I didn't see any benchmarks comparing against that. I expect it to be lower for now, but excited for see what the future brings.
I love the "humans do it with only two cameras!" comment. It's so funny to see people disregard the human brain, as if any computer today can hold a candle the the visual processing prowess it contains.

I say this as a happy Model 3 owner: Elon is remarkably stupid (or perhaps outright disingenuous) sometimes.
When I go to ford.com and look at their basic truck, the 2023 Maverick, I see "starting at $22,195". So if a 1962 truck truly sold for $2000, the inflation seems to account for entirely the price increase. And I'm pretty sure everyone will agree a 2023 Maverick is superior to a 1962 F-100 in every conceivable aspect.

Housing and healthcare are better examples of goods or services whose prices have increased faster than CPI-U.
I'll assume that your goal when drinking a protein shake/gaining muscle is to gain muscle. It's generally believed that a state of anabolism is generally viewed as being antagonistic to the body; too much protein/growth is taxing. Yet, having muscle is important for aging, and also acts as a glucose sink thereby improving metabolism. A balance has to be achieved.

> Or is this less important than the immediate-protein-shake crowd suggests?

From what I've read, this may be not as important as originally thought.

Overall, I believe the schedule that most holistically supports metabolism would be to exercise early and also eat early in the day. This would thereby keep the taxing metabolic activities aligned to your circadian clock, which expects a lot of early day stressors and fewer as the day progresses. This may be specifically true for protein which is especially metabolically taxing, so eating it early in the day is probably the time when it creates the most benefit at lowest risk.

Of course, people have to do what works for their schedules and lifestyles.
> It looks like they are transparently trying to raise their margins. I guess they are more supply-constrained than they thought. The "smart car of the future" from Tesla now has no sensors other than cameras, and not very many of those.

Don't worry, it won't be a problem as long as they can keep the marketing budget up.
Yes, so quietly, it'd deadly. You won't see it coming.
Right. One way to combat inflation is to save money. The fed encourages this by increasing the interest rate. If california truly wanted to reduce inflation, it would simply retain those $1000 checks. Taking money out of supply reduces inflation.
> Russia does not have a "no-first-use commitment"

Sorry, you are correct. My general point was what Moscow says about its nuclear policy isn't particularly informative for predicting its behaviour. China has analogy in its breached commitments to Hong Kong.
Anyone who is tech savvy enough to be on Hacker News isn't going to be shocked.

However MOST people don't understand the technology. As the resident IT person in my family/friends, I've been asked about this sort of thing on a regular basis. Everytime I talk them through the convenience vs security. Without fail people are surprised by the idea of being easy to "jam" wifi.

Even some of the tech savvy don't realize how cheap it is to build a deauther. I can get ESP8266 units for less than $2 each and load up pre-made deauth firmware from Github in a matter of minutes.
I hope this doesn't turn out like Foxconn in Mount Pleasant WI.

As a non-educator, as I am aware that I am unaware of the degree to which teachers as a resource drives and equally limits the opportunity for changes across the strata of education…

1. Delinearization of progression. You don’t “advance grades” until you demonstrate mastery, and it’s not a competition.

2. Allowing aptitude and interest to tailor schedules. I will never need my ability to rattle off the capital of each state, and that was definitely a wasted week or two. Somebody got PAID for that, and it still blows my mind.

3. Better mental health budgeting.
Run ethernet everywhere. In new homes, this usually means a "Structured Wiring" product like Legrand On-Q. This system is essentially the conventional commercial building design of ethernet and telephone jacks throughout on home runs to a patch panel, but instead of a rack you use an in-wall enclosure with modules that screw into it. Ideally the cable is run between these through "smurf tube" flexible conduit, which makes it reasonably easy to run more or different cables in the future. Run ethernet at least to positions where you might want surveillance cameras, during new construction you could do this cheaply enough that it might make sense to go overboard.

Be warned though that structured wiring tends to end up being appreciably more expensive than a 19" rack and commercial devices, because it's a very small market. e.g. in theory you can put your ethernet switch neatly in a structured wiring enclosure but in practice there are very few options for gigabit switches that fit the structured wiring module system and they tend to cost considerably more than a comparable switch. This means that you end up zip-tying a desktop switch into the enclosure along with its power brick, it becomes a hassle. You can put a wall-mount rack in a hall closet ventilated with AC Infinity products or something like that.

I don't think there's a lot more you can do to futureproof than to have cat 6 run everywhere and a PoE+ switch, and the good news is that none of this is really that expensive. A surprising number of tract homes and apartment complexes are being done with structured wiring systems these days, I just think they're sort of underdelivering on installed cable because of the high cost of structured wiring enclosures and the perceived need to run coaxial cable (equipped for satellite antenna!) and 2-pair telephone as well, with the high cost of structured wiring patch panels and distribution amplifiers for those. I really wish people would adopt more of an "ethernet to every wall" approach as you see in commercial construction. And 19" racks; the increasing use of vertical wall cabinet racks means that there's a pretty good selection now of network devices with power consumption and fanless or very quiet cooling similar to consumer devices.
Poker would also break if you could just use algorithms to tell you how much to bet and when to fold.

I suppose any strategic, turn-based game breaks down as soon as you have a world class engine for it.
Buying a bigger house just allows you to park more of your net worth in real estate. As a diversification it makes sense. But also as you make more money the payment becomes less and less of your monthly income.

It’s not absurd. It’s just a different reason for buying a house.
> if it's anything but a warm winter,

I guess they should hope that their green technologies didn't work enough to curb global warming or something. What a messed up situation.
Our education system wasn't able to get rid of its scholastic roots. Even scientific establishment itself. The patterns that were developed at the time when early scientific research and teaching were evolving in medieval monasteries still keep appearing in research and education.
In the very unlikely dream scenario you mention, you are alone in a disreputable nation with no connections. You are weak and a tempting target for blackmail, robbery, kidnapping, and extortion. A bounty is placed on your head by the most powerful nation in the history of the world.

You would think the failed track record of knowledgeable criminals like Gary and Ulbricht would convince the crypto-anarchist losers that their fantasies are implausible, but for some reason it never happens.
Startups innovating in the AC power cable space are even worse off. Should we ditch the standard on AC outlets to encourage innovation there?
How does radar for lane guidance work exactly?

I'm pretty sure all of the phantom braking events due to underpasses were vision related, given that radar is essentially blind to the road.
It seems pretty obvious to me that it ought to be reformed to be basically what /u/SamBam thought it was instead of being eliminated entirely.
I would’ve tried changing that last dot to a comma just to see what happens.
That's fine. You probably never played a data warehouse. No big deal, we all have our own areas mastered and gaps elsewhere.
I mean the bank took on the risk instead of you, and the bank owns your house. So… sure thing?
The price of my lunch went from ~$8 to ~$18 during this period, it is noticeable. Had a look at the stock or real-estate markets?
