> Actually, probably the majority of You Tubers don’t use any music

This just isn't true.

YouTube music falls into two camps:
1) Licensed music from paid royalty sources. AudioJunkie, Epidemic, etc.
2) Video game music, because that isn't in ContentID because otherwise you'd claim people playing their games (it can absolutely be manually claimed, but creators just take the risk here).

I suspect Pond5 here aren't a great service.

I also keep on re-parsing this article because of the English, but

> and for many of those who do, the more ads the better as the reason for uploading a video is to make money and they really don’t care about quality.

If you get copyright claimed for music, you don't get the money from the video? More ads won't help? I'm so confused at to what this person is getting at, as they've meddled a diatribe about advertising with a diatribe about music copyright claims.
Good point about margin. I imagine a good chunk of that margin is from eliminating dealers from their sales model.

Even with the higher margin, Tesla would need an insanely higher volume to justify their market cap. It’s never going to reach those volumes.

I also suspect Tesla will not be able to maintain all of their margin as they face increased competition. Some of that margin doubtlessly comes from selling their FSD - and I think it’s unclear if they will be able to keep selling that at a premium as other car makers catch up and/or regulators investigate some advertising claims around it. Tesla’s highest margins appear to be in China, where operations are distinctly delicate for someone owning a large social media company.

The Semi may legitimately make a difference; we’ll have to see how many they are able to produce and their market uptake. There are going to be other competitors in that space who are more aligned to the trucking industry. The current Tesla Semi seems to be a niche for short haul runs (which is still a big segment).
Sadly I haven't found anything as convenient as Onenote. I take a lot of screen clippings from pdfs/powerpoints/zooms/articles and paste them into notes to then rearrange, annotate, write around them. Ctrl-E opens search across all my notebooks and notes including OCR from the images. Onenote takes care of sync to my phone and other devices.

Thanks for the rec, I'll definitely try and give it a listen.

He can't be that bad if he's behind what Ghost have to date presented themselves as. He does seem to have some pretty severe gaps in technical literacy though: which is very excusable if it's not coupled with blind confidence.
Along the same line of thinking though, they are nuclear powered already. The fossil fuels owe their energy to the sun which is nuclear powered.

I think nuclear powered should be used to something that has a nuclear reactor on board directly supplying power.
This is no different than the hundreds of "fusion breakthroughs" we've been reading about over the past 20+ years. Progress is good, sure, but we're tired of celebrating small incremental gains.

A leap forward or two might be worth celebrating along the way, sure, but we're at least 3 orders of magnitude away from actually generating net power here.
You are going in the wrong direction. Lean into the surveillance. Use it to create an alibi.
To me (native English a la USA) apples are in a sort of uncanny valley between things that could in fact be measured by the physical handful, like peanuts, and things that couldn't -- buildings being way off the charts, obviously.

No, not as always. The laser confinement mechanism works, it has been shown, lasers that are more than 20 times as efficient as these NID lasers are now available, so the improvement needed to scale and "commercialize it," whatever that really means looks more like 10x than 200x. In the world of fusion, that counts as really good progress. For one thing, perhaps a lot of the research money will move to lasers now.

"Exciting" for individuals within the field often does not translate to "exciting" for everyone else. It's quite reasonable to think there's a good chance this is not the beginning of a "practical for energy generation" fusion revolution.

It is very interesting, but in the same way that advances in particle physics are interesting.

I find that stimulants are mostly good for one thing, which is the ability to push through uninteresting tasks. Listening to others also becomes much easier. I don't find they have that dramatic of an effect, but I feel more "normal" if that makes any sense. Stimulants won't fix ADHD and magically make uninteresting work stimulating. They just lift a thin veil a bit.

You've coasted into the territory of self-appointed expert on ADHD. To me, this reads as "I have no idea what ADHD is like or how to manage it. My mind can't imagine that other minds may work differently, so what would work for my mind must work for all the other minds."

Whether or not you're aware of it, that's an ableist dog whistle for "why don't you just stop being _______?" usually followed by a JBP reading list about lobsters and room cleaning.
Once SBF gets arrested, the clock on trying him in court begins. The "clock" varies by jurisdiction; it can be a short as 30 days or as long as 6 months, and they have to gather all of the evidence they will be using before the trial begins.[1] Once the trial has concluded, he cannot be re-tried on the same or related charges even if new evidence comes to light.

Or IOW: prosecutors get one shot at the apple. They're going to wait until they have a good case and then they will prosecute him, assuming he hasn't been offed by then, and he will spend many years in prison.

[1] Defendants are usually asked to waive this deadline. For less serious charges, or for non-violent felonies where the defendant isn't planning to contest the charges, this is usually a good idea because prosecutors will agree to a better plea deal. For more serious and complex cases like this, it's never a good idea to waive the deadline. The defendant doesn't want to give the prosecution more time to prepare a case because the prosecutor won't agree to a better plea deal if they do. When defendants refuse to waive their right to a speedy trial, conviction rates are usually below 50% (from a standard rate of north of 80%) as the standard criminal investigation takes much longer than the speedy-trial window.

Hi! Very sorry - won't happen again.
In an ideal world each child would have private teachers and tutors developing custom tailored curriculum and schedules for them. We don't live in an ideal world and success in public school essentially requires you be neurotypical or use medication to simulate it as much as possible.

By all means try without it first but it's going to cost you time or money you may not have. With any luck future gains in understanding the human brain will lead to medication that has the pros without the cons but today we have to use the tools we have.
This system was setup to make the DMCA easy for copyright holders. There's zero consideration about whose holding.

Before YouTube, I was getting takedown notices from Qwest internet and when I wrote them demanding proof, they ignored me and just flipped the switch back on.

Eventually they just automated the takedown system so you had to go through some isolated dcma system.

They have no cares about consumers because consumers present zero legal threat.

There are lots of people from the countryside, where, as far as I can tell, one's options are basically subsistence farming. Until the supply of people from the countryside dries up (and it has, to some extant), there won't be a lot of wage pressure upwards.

UK Gov: New rules for apps to boost consumer security and privacy
Reminds me of back in the late 90s and early 00s when these effects fell under the umbrella of "DHTML" (dynamic HTML) and there were sites dedicated to indexing them and making them easy to browse and even review. Nostalgic.
Why is anyone still giving that grifter any attention?
Yep. Your reply here encapsulates a lot of what I've been thinking about for the past few weeks. I'd love to open-source at least some of the data I collect, but the privacy/ethics issues have to be considered. And as far as that goes, there are legal/ethical issues around simply collecting data even if I don't share it, that come into play where other people are involved.

It might be best to do a short stint of 1 week to test the feasibility. That should give you a good estimate on future projections of how much data it will consume after a month, 3 months, and a year.

Yep. That's basically the approach I took with "phase 1" where the only data being ingested was gps / accelerometer data. I just let it run for a couple of weeks and then extrapolated out what the storage requirements would be for the future. Obviously audio and video are going to change the equation a lot, but the same principle is what I am planning to employ.

I imagine any intelligent system could work with reduced data quality/lossy data at least on the audio.

Yep, that's another area I've been thinking a lot about. The "instinct" is to capture everything at the highest possible resolution / sampling rate / etc. and store in a totally lossless format. But that is also the most expensive scenario and if it's not strictly required, then why do it? We know human hearing at least can work with relatively crappy audio. Look at the POTS phone system and it's 8khz of bandwidth for example. Does that analogy hold for video? Good question.

As long as it's consistent in the type/amount of compression. So instead of WAV/FLAC/RAW. You could encode it to something like Opus 100 Kbps and that would give you 394.2 Gigabytes of Data for a single year for the audio.

Agreed.

As for video... it would definitely require a lot of tricks to store on a hobbyist level.

Definitely. One thing that may help with costs in the short-term is that I'm very explicitly not (for now anyway) using a cloud storage service. Data ingestion is to a server I own and physically have in my home. I can get away with this because while the aggregate total amount of data may wind up fairly big over longer periods of time, the rate at which I need to ingest data isn't all that high (there's only one of these devices sending to the server). And I can just keep adding 5TB or 10TB drives as needed. When one fills up, I can unplug it, replace it with another, label and store it, and move on. The big risks here are that I don't really have any redundancy in that scenario, especially if my home burns down or something. But in that case I have bigger problems to worry about anyway!

There are other downsides to this approach, like dealing with the case of needing to access the entire year's worth of data "at once" for analysis or training, but I'm not sure that need will ever even arise.
As long as there is no viable alternative to YouTube, Google has zero incentive of improving the situation. The current system works for Google, with no downside for them thanks to their monopolistic grasp on the market.
I think it's just the difference in expectations between scientists and laypeople. "Major fusion breakthrough" to a scientist could mean one step out of 200, over 3 decades, towards functional fusion power. Scientists understand the long arc of progress. But these labs need to market to the public as well who invariably end up expecting a SimCity Fusion Power Plant within 18 months.

I'd welcome competition. Vimeo is the closest thing I can think of and it differentiated itself. But I don't think Twitter is the right one to do it. IMO, these services are best when they're narrowly focused. YouTube branching into shorts, Facebook and Instagram branching into... well, everything... has made those services cluttered, and makes their once core features worse.
To an external non-technical observer, this is about as exciting as me hitting a clean compile in the scale of things. It really makes me happy but no one else cares until the product arrives.

They actually have more side effects than amphetamines do, though Strattera works well for me as long as you absolutely always take it with food. (Otherwise it feels like you're getting kicked in the stomach.)

Excellent analogy, and one of the reasons just putting a bunch of smart people together isn't good business model. A large fraction of them might be capable of building algorithmically outstanding software, but that skill set is completely orthogonal to building a product, testing it, integrating it with third party software and/or hardware, maintaining it, and ultimately migrating away from it to the next generation of software.
Yes, but the overall we get "more power out of the building then we put in" isn't the goal. They are trying to drive the Q factor of the reaction itself up. If they get that to > 5x what the laser strike hits (a very real probability) it's likely trying to make a building that has a net positive Q makes sense.

That building would use modern lasers, modern supercapactiors, etc. to significantly change the "other" parts of the equation.
> just put a CSV in an S3 bucket or provide an API

It's more than JUST inventory. It's inventory, orders, and volume discounts. I don't deny that you could build a bunch of s3 buckets, and API's to solve these problems. Of course you can, we've been doing it for 2 decades. But it's not a great solution. I've worked with them, it sucks. As a retailer I need to automate each one independently. My web3 solution gives a single interface for multiple vendors for each function. I believe my solution is simpler. It may not sound simpler because the tech underneath is somewhat complicated. But from a user point of view (as a retailer, and as a vendor) it's WAY easier. I think it's also SIGNIFICANTLY less work for the vendor to implement.

> Small businesses with JIT inventory and bursty sales are literally the exact opposite of what a small manufacturer wants.

Does a vendor care if it's 1 large business or many small businesses in aggregate? It does if it has to deal with all the small guys. The main problem with dealing with many small vendors is the management of it all. This is my solution to making it trivial, so they can get the additional reach, without having to deal with a bunch of small entities.

My goal is to make it easier for small businesses to compete with big business (as in retailers). I think this technology can solve some of the problems that previously made it not worth the time for vendors.
What would be the point of content farms if google is basically replaced, I won't visit your blog to learn about weevils I'll just ask chatGPT, and never leave the interface at all.
Unrelated but funny anecdote.

My daughter was on Sildenafil while she was in the NICU on ECMO (look it up if you want to see something very metal for an 11 day old infant to be on). While she was on ECMO, she was medically paralyzed so she didn't pull the cannula out of her jugular vein. She was on sildenafil as a blood thinner so her blood didn't clot in the ECMO circuit.

I was chatting about this on facebook and soon after realized that sildenafil is a common drug used to treat ED in men. I got ED ads in facebook for the better part of 2 years after this one post and found it quite amusing.

She's a healthy and happy 4 year old now. That treatment (and sildenafil) ultimately saved her life.
