Every time I read something about new plane techs I go and read that article again:

https://idlewords.com/talks/web_design_first_100_years.htm

> Finally, in the 50's, Boeing ushered in the Jet Age with the Boeing 707, which could cross the Atlantic ocean at nearly 1,000 kph.

> I submit to you that the last thing that Boeing engineer would expect to see in 2014 is what actually happened. Here is today's most advanced passenger aircraft, the Boeing 787.

> Unless you are an airplane nerd, you would be hard pressed to distinguish the 787 from its grandfather. And in fact, this revolutionary new plane flies slower than the 707.
I'm of the opinion that this change is catastrophic but...

I think that's very uncommon and that the majority of people sort by Popularity and start there.

> The promise of these systems...

That's really the whole problem - understanding how all of this stuff works requires a master's degree in cryptocurrency. Being smart enough to vet that it's actually implemented the way its proponents claim is even harder.

You can point at some hypothetical future you imagined from the pure crypto first principles, but then I have to trust you. And so, ultimately all of this comes down to trust. Not "mathematical" trust but rather real, human vetting process that require actual work to be done by humans.

The problem then, becomes that regardless of the foundations of your system, if enough bad actors take advantage of the systems inherently confusing nature, then no one will trust the people who are using it for good. And what point is there in a system that is only used for idealistic side-projects and deception?
Was a Pinboard user since year 1 was my favorite online service for years,but the site went to trash after the creator became obsessed with politics in 2016 and moved his focus to tweeting and poli-larping rather than his customers.
Hey Tozen, are you alright? It might be good for you to take a step back and relax a bit.

I have been nothing but civil and open-minded, I have not smeared vlang in any way, I have merely been asking questions as an outside observer.

You, on the other hand, have been aggressively defensive, and have been projecting an almost paranoid "everything and everyone is against vlang" attitude. I almost start thinking that you are the one trolling me.

If not, I sincerely hope you will take a step back and assess the situation and yourself -- and try to relax a bit. No single programming language is worth getting this wound up about.
Privacy Preserving Machine Learning
Testing strategy is also pretty important here. If you can run integration tests that bypass DNS caches immediately after the change, then you should know quick if things are working. If both old and new DNS settings are valid, the slow onset works great and minimizes impact of an error.

I've handled DNS changes where the underlying host was changing IP address. In that instance the old DNS entry immediately became invalid, so a quick DNS cut-over was needed for all clients.
What does YouTube think it's business is?

From my pov they are an advertising company, they want users to spend as long as possible on the site inorder to view those ads.

I can sort of understand rewarding regular uploads from that pov, a new video by X comes out, you go to view it and then watch a few more videos.

This model doesn't explain other things though. If I find a new channel and want to binge, why stop me watching from oldest first?

Why remove downvotes? If I watch a video that has a lot of invisible downvotes, I get pissed because it's rubbish, it seems a toss up whether I watch another vid, or leave the site. That risk rises exponentially with every rubbish vid I come across.
The problem is that a secure, verifiable computing environment is also important for your privacy.

If you use this system with free software components, the dystopia won't materialize. It's the lack of transparency with proprietary components that causes problems.
Which, again, wouldn't be too much work. Also, my Android phone does not update and reboot automatically.

OK this kind of grandiose framing makes me giggle
I use NewPipe daily. It works pretty stable and the developers are working on it very active. As soon as Youtube breaks it (once every 1-2 months), the developers release a new version mostly next day.
In that proposal, it seems like all the risk of the loan is carried by the bank with none of the profit. How would such a bank be profitable? What happens if the loan is not paid back?
I bought pizza probably a couple hundred times directly with cryptocurrency.

The payment flow was easier than using my card (because I didn't have to go find my card, authenticate the purchase in my banks shitty app as per "SCA", etc)
Let’s just be unnecessarily skeptical. Follow me on this line of thinking.

“Hmm Elon has a reputation for not liking hard workers (the comment in his book about him getting mad the spacex parking lot wasn’t sufficiently busy on a Saturday), he’s doing a massive layoff, he’s stated this random goal (finish this or get fired)…..hmmm….ok team let’s do this: photograph me sleeping and post it, and then if I don’t get fired for being perceived as working hard, I’ll make sure you’re protected too”.

There is zero chance you’d post a twitter photo of your boss in that setting without pre clearing their permission. Also, as a former investment banker, I’ve slept under my desk a few times and always kept a sleeping bag hidden away. If you’re actually working hard you know how you do this? You either close and lock your office door, or go out of your way to obscure what you’re doing….no one wants to know or see you’re sleeping at the office like an animal.

Of course that’s the most skeptical least trustful view. Still, let’s take a grain of salt. The amount of PR she’s generated from that picture is massive. Assume she gets fired now; due to preempting with the sleeping on the floor pic, it’d cause a massive backlash. So in a way she purchased insurance, if you want to be cynical, for herself in a very calculated way.
The fun thing is, it’s probably because they stuff everything into a big giant database and that just doesn’t play well with the fact that any user ever accesses a millionth of a millionth of a percent of those database rows.
Horrendously good and working answer... Mr. Gates, pls login.
> You know what makes more database queries than sorting by date? Making me manually scroll through thousands of videos to the bottom and loading thumbnails for all of them. I don't care how restrictive they make the API, they can't stop me from writing a "start from oldest" extension that gives you a button to just automatically scroll to the bottom.

Wrong. There was an article on HN that no internet service allows you to open a 10000th page of any search. So, even if you have a really powerful device which is able to handle this amount of pages which are loading all at once (if you are travelling in endless mode as there is in Youtube), I am absolutely sure that at least for some creators' feed you just can not scroll it all without getting a 5xx error.
GrapheneOS is a hardened OS. It not only preserves the whole standard privacy and security model including all the hardware-based security features but also substantially improves it. https://grapheneos.org/features provides an overview of only the improvements made by GrapheneOS compared to Android 13 (specifically, the stock Pixel OS). We make a fair number of upstream contributions and those aren't listed on our features page once they're shipped by the stock Pixel OS.

GrapheneOS provides our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer allowing using the Google Play apps as regular apps in the full standard app sandbox with no special access or privileges. We've made them work like any other apps, with absolutely no ability to do something a regular user installed app can't do. You also don't need to grant them permissions to use 95% of functionality and can revoke our added Sensors toggle (Network COULD be revoked and you can use GSF + Google Camera + Google Photos with Network revoked from each but most of Play services exists to provide Google services so it would somewhat defeat the purpose, but it's possible).
And here's me appreciating you for saying what I was thinking.
I just use what they taught us old timers at school.

Don't put your real name or face on the Internet. Don't tell specifics of your life to strangers on the Internet.

That's about it.

Oh, and I always say "ask app not to track" when iOS asks :)

I also use different nicknames for different contexts so my personal and semi-professional accounts can't be trivially linked.
DeFi is however possible on Bitcoin, and the decision for pretty much every Defi company to build it on another chain that is a) less decentralized b) less secure or c) less permissionless means that all of those products inherit those risks. DeFi is crippled by the decisions their creators made at the start.

Bitcoin is the hardest, most secure cryptocurrency. Building on top of it means being cautious and careful, lest you lose tokens of actual worth, as opposed to tokens that have value solely because your own system uses it.
I could understand if this was missed during the major redesign.

But if it was removed to hit some type of OKR internally to have users engage more on the platform, it’s another story.

Not a fan of the redesign on mobile because nothing works if you have turned off watch history and other privacy settings.

I think that given the cultural issues in some circles that render most of these attempts as valiant knights trying to defeat dragons, many will only cave in when the goverments decide using this kind of languages is akin to other unsafe products and require similar levels of compliance.

Software can still be delivered in those languages, after all the goverments themselves have millions invested into such codebases, but it comes with an extra price tag versus other safer alternatives.

Apps - I selfhost most of my stuff. Very similar to https://axbom.com/indieweb/

OS - Ubuntu everywhere

Online Storage - This is part of my selfhosting stack. My server is in my house (but accessible from internet), no need for at rest encryption.

Social Media - Not much apart from some reddit and HN. Never got into other things.
Self promotion would be described as PR. Knowing about the blue checkmark would be marketing. Sales is actually getting people to part with money.
The same persons who put all wood behind the Youtube Shorts arrow, probably.

Given that everyone wants the retention of TikTok now, I don't think that big random button stays a joke for very long.
It does. But sadly this alleged list will now just become a football for politicians to play with, whispered allegations of who might be on it to damage your opponents, no recourse for those accused.

And I really don't agree with the sentiment that a few false positives are OK in situations like this where lets face it accusation = guilt. We don't operate like that in any other areas of criminality and for good reason.
Agreed. For use cases where the order matters, the author can create a playlist right?
> Any downside to this approach?

None that I can think of unless you need foreign key constraints between both.

> Are JOINS slower across two files than across two tables in the same file?

I was recently debugging as slow JOIN with ATTACH'ed databases and the query plan looked the same as when both tables were in the same database. I don't think it makes any difference.

But in these situations, the solution is measuring and benchmarking for your use case.
/e/ supports loads of random phones without a strong HSM. In my estimation this means it will be much easier to get into a locked phone with physical access. I imagine the phone would get imaged, and then the passcode bruteforced on another machine without rate limiting.

Calyx supports Pixel3 and Fairphone, but otherwise looks pretty similar. According to GOS's main developer's comments in this thread, Calyx:

- doesn't have features like https://grapheneos.org/features#storage-scopes.

- doesn't have the Play sandbox

- "isn't a hardened OS and isn't at all comparable to GrapheneOS. They recently didn't even ship half the baseline Android security patches for 2 months, let alone providing much better patching and substantially hardening the privacy and security of the OS"

My opinion is biased since I'm a GOS user, and I have a very positive opinion of the project, so take this with a pinch of salt.
My local pizza place is vertically integrating marketing pizza, making pizza dough, making pizza, selling pizza, and delivering pizza.

It’s not the vertical integration that matters but the amount of market power a company has. My pizza place: almost none. Amazon: significantly more than none.

> What are some good starting points to look for a more robust way out of the problem-- how do we sustainably grow a crowd-sourcable archive for copyrighted digital artifacts?

We need to provide funding for film makers, authors, artists, and other creatives who in return release their work under Creative Commons licenses. And we need to stop paying attention to movies and music that is not released under an acceptable license.
Thanks for the praise - we appreciate it.

We know Wren and in fact have a similar project for carbon removal called "Carbon Removed"[1]. We love the idea of a subscription to remove your footprint or even just a one-time removal to compensate for a long-distance flight.

On the conversation of personal versus corporations - we agree that a system/societal change is required but believe this will only with all of us beginning to change our ways and have these conversations with our networks. Society is made up of individuals after all :)

Thanks to you for contributing to a sustainable future.

I surf and kitesurf. I guess the hardest thing to describe about the sea is how violent it can be. Getting a wave on the head (a wave of decent size) is colossal. Every part of your body is attacked, board shorts ripped off, arms flung around, head whipped back, legs hit your chest or back.

Big waves are crazy powerful.

Then there's the speed, wizzing over choppy water on a board feels like driving over a very pot holed dirt road, the chops SLAM into the board over and over again. You lean on the rail to turn and the board may just drop away into a hole or get slammed up by chop.

And if you fall, you don't penetrate the water, you just skim over it like a flat stone (or a rag doll in the mouth of a dog, shaking it from side to side)
Interesting. Even in Bangkok premium bread had a German flag on it.

But who knows. Cultures portrait in other cultures is a complex topic.

By the way, I initially only stated that people here think it's the central of bread. I really only know a bit of how other places see things.
Argentina has third rate currency and corrupt government. People use dollars not crypto. Same for Turkey and other countries.
GrapheneOS developed our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer to provide support for running Google Play as regular apps in the full standard app sandbox. They work like any other apps and can't do anything that a regular user installed app can't do. Since they're regular apps, all our work on improving the app sandbox and permission model in a compatible way applies to them. For example, you can revoke our Sensors toggle from them (or even Network, but that would prevent using their services, which many apps depend on for real use) and can use Storage Scopes instead of granting any storage permissions, etc. In practice, you don't need to grant any permissions to Google Play when using sandboxed Google Play. Our location rerouting feature reimplements the Play services geolocation API based on the standard AOSP location API based on GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, etc.) + A-GNSS. If you really want to use Google Play network location, it's possible, by granting background location access to it, enabling their network location toggle and disabling our location request rerouting feature. We plan to provide more of these rerouting features in the future when it makes sense.
I love the smell of peak HN in the morning. Smells like denial.
Yeah, but normal people watch/listen the same music video 300 times, but then see the comedy video or documentary video only once.

And for age, it is also fairly normal to listen to music older then 36 months. And to watch educational videos older then that. Or crafting videos older then that. Or tutorial videos older then that. Most of time, I am cool with old videos.
Maybe the ultimate proxy measurement is the pursuit of human economic productivity at the expense of longevity of our planet.

Contrived example, human need food to survive. We need food, efficiently, since there are so many of us. So we need efficient farming. Efficient means smallest amount of land to produce most biomass (plant, animal). To that, we need single purpose farmland and artificial feeds, fertilizer and pesticide. To have single purpose farmland, we purge the land from all life form, aka killing all plants and animals. To have artificial stuff, we need energy. To have energy, we expense fossil energy. To have fossil energy, we, the earth, started capturing sun energy millions of years ago.

Meanwhile, some farmer right now is roaming their cow and chickens on a "unindustrialized" land. The cow graze on the pasture, the chicken eat the bugs, their droppings feed the grass, the stomping excites the earthworm, the earthworms aerates the land, the grass captures the sunlight, the sunlight feed everyone, in a perfect balance. 0 GDP generated.

I think it is mentioned in the Omnivore Dilemma [1] that, to produce 1 unit energy in food, we are using 14 unit of fossil fuel energy and 3% of workforce. Before the industrial age (200ish year ago), the ratio is 1 unit of energy to 2 unit of sun energy and 90% of workforce.

Efficiency? Check. Quality of life? Check. All numbers show that we are improving

True. Nice perspective.
Yeah, only a terminally-dumb parser could confuse an SVG <i> tag with an HTML <i> tag. A proper HTML parser should ignore anything inside tags it doesn't understand - such as the <svg> tag.
Thanks a lot for your praise. We are early stage and releasing something new (and slightly controversial) but it's really encouraging and motivating to us to see others who share a similar opinion.

We look forward to crossing paths again on the journey to a sustainable future :)
I have never in my life seen a meltdown like this.
I find it a little confusing that the author compares 1/f noise from the brain (electrical) with acoustic pink noise, which is a different type of wave altogether. Am I missing something or is it just a poor analogy?
I think so, yes. I believe that if you go into a typical tech company, let's say Google, and survey people above 30 about crypto, the majority will be against it, and it will be positively correlated with age, i.e. older people are more likely to be against it.

Of course I have no evidence, it's just my anecdotal experience, which doesn't count for much. I actually hope I'm wrong.
The thread you're linking explains why we developed sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer for better privacy, security and far broader app compatibility. On an OS using microG, you still have the Google Play code running in each of the apps you're using which depend on Google Play. You aren't avoiding the Google Play code. In fact, you're running it with more privileges than it has on GrapheneOS where there's a stronger sandbox and permission model. You're avoiding part of the Google Play code: the part sitting between the Google Play SDK / libraries and their services (but not quite, since microG downloads and runs droidsec/snet within the context of microG, which has significantly elevated privileges on CalyxOS).

> You know what makes more database queries than sorting by date?

You seem to be forgetting the scale of these "databases". Lots of data these huge companies hoard is stored in slower, cheaper, storage. They know roughly what data should be kept cold and warm. And in general old videos can be left in cold storage, because people rarely watch them.

While Youtube wants to control what you watch, I'm pretty sure this is a cost-cutting measure.
They are not going to forbid installing niche OSes because it'd look bad and they can do better.

Today you can't use banking app in a rooted Android, you can't watch high resolution licensed content in your linux PC, you're at the whims of rootkits disguised as anti-cheat frameworks if you wanna do online gaming.

Tomorrow you'll be required to use signed browser binaries by selected vendors running on a signed OS unlocked by TPM loaded with your ID card for joining a video call for a job interview or something.

Did you say your niche OS? Sure, you can view their support forums or wherever other hobos are hanging out for leisure without any of that.
> What kind of lunatic watches someone's uploads out of chronological order?

Welcome to the TikTok algorithmic feed. Viewing videos in order and with context is so passe.

That said, I rarely do this as well. If I've found somebody's content I like, I'll tend to then go see what playlists they've made for similar topics. Some channels will have over 500 videos dating back a decade at this point - I'm not going to watch that in order, but I'll at least browse by playlist.
This seems pretty useless, because won’t GPT3 happily synthesise false information? What good is it answering my question if the answer isn’t correct? Google search’s “question answer” section has a similar issue.
