ChatGPT will make search engines useless. But not by replacing them. It will produce so much and so high quality SEO spam websites, that you won‘t find any real content anymore. It will increase the noise level in the internet so much, that automatically finding a signal with search engines will not work anymore. We will be back to manually curated lists of webpages as in the good old days of Yahoo.
Is it? When non-puppy-kicking people are willing to publicly say "I don't kick puppies, but I agree with the puppy kickers' view that the sky is blue", the correct reaction is not to reevaluate puppy kicking (much less trying to subtly taint those people as crypto-internalized-puppy-dislikers).

The correct reaction is to look up.
Absolutely, but it misses the point. The bots are a feature not a bug. They create scarcity and improve brand value but only to a point. You can’t have them be 100% of the market but 75% is probably ok
Very interesting title, I'll give it a try.

I did not downvote but your original response seems like it’s talking about dependencies (eg. 3rd party libraries) and the article is about dependency injection which is a different thing. So when I first read your comment it didn’t make much sense to me but maybe I missed something.

Isn’t scarcity relative to demand? I mean each cubic meter of soil is globally unique, but no one cares. And, in the long term, demand plausibly has a relation to utility?

I do speculate that part of the appeal of a non-loan/investment based store of value to very rich people is that hey wish they could keep all their wealth in a vehicle that didn’t involve investing in the overall good of society, but that is a childish wish - wealth is inextricably linked with the prosperity of the society in which it is enmeshed. A billionaire in a society ravaged by disease, hunger, and conflict, shorn of the comforts of science and technology, will be poorer by far, in terms of objective measures, than a billionaire in a society where the people are educated and science and medicine are widely available, especially over he generations.
Ask HN: Searches I don't recognize are appearing in my YouTube search history
Hello HN,

I've tried searching around about this and can't come up with anything. I was hoping someone in this community could have some insight.

Basically there are frequently searches in my YouTube history that I don't recognize. Sometimes in Cyrillic. Example from today:

https://imgur.com/a/E7AyRjh

This has been going on for a few months now. I've tried removing all devices from my Google account. I've also changed my passwords twice. I have 2FA turned on.

Any idea what could be happening here?
This because something is scarce, doesn't make it valuable. Claims to the contrary are just another example of crypto bros not understanding economics or human behaviour. Otherwise, a whole bunch of people with boxes of Beaning Babies would be rich by now.

Eh... that really depends. As someone who doesn't use QWERTY, I would think twice before using anything but QWERTY, especially for a child just starting out. Even if QWERTY is inferior, it's also nearly universal; if the kid goes to a public school, they'll use computers that are in QWERTY and that probably can't change to something else.

At the same time, I do think that skin imperfections stand out much more in photos than they do when you’re looking at someone’s face in real life. So a tasteful about of smoothing can actually help to bring the experience of looking at a portrait a bit closer to the real experience of looking at someone’s face

That's such a dangerous argument, though, because where does it end?

Some audiophiles will tell you that they prefer the 'warm' harmonic distortion imparted by single-ended vacuum tube amplifiers. Psychoacoustic studies back that up to some extent. Does that mean that all first-party music players should apply a DSP transform that makes the output sound like it came through an 80-year-old Western Electric telephone repeater, without the option to allow the listener to turn it off unless they install a third-party app?

Or even worse, and more to the point, does it mean that all first-party recording apps should work that way?

There are a limited number of pure collectors, or even FOMO collectors. And much of this collection value comes about through increasing limitation of an item(1), along with a population increase (making more collectors)(2), and increasing wealth of current collectors used to bid up the price on collectibles (wealth increase through means other than their collection, obviously).(3)

(1) - If you buy bitcoin now you might be part of increasing the price of a bitcoin by increasing its rarity through the means of losing your private keys. But this doesn't benefit you.

(2) - We're reaching the point where our carrying capacity is starting to hit limits. Maybe in a few hundred years we'll have space colonies to keep increasing the population, but: 1) This won't benefit you, as you probably won't be around then; 2) There will be other collectibles that the then population may be more interested in. It is the case that certain collectibles are incredibly rare (single digit numbers), but also cost less then $10k, simply because there are not that many interested collectors.

(3) - If you sink most of your investments into crypto this limits the ability of your wealth to grow outside of your collection.

> They're obviously still better than Google in this respect

Are they? Google is probably the most open company about what they collect and how they use it and I've never seen any evidence whatsoever that they ever sell you out ie. do more than simply link you to contextual ads.

All their apps and services also ask for permission pretty explicitly.

CPU and RAM is pretty straightforward with something like cgroups or basically any container system. I'm not sure how you'd go about limiting GPU, though, which is probably essential for any modern engine that uses shaders.
> I'm glad you have some good things to say about them but the toxic negativity really needs to end.

That negativity has been for the most part earned. Obviously "toxic" negativity is a problem, by very definition, but I truly don't think anything in this thread (before you started commenting and things got heated at least) crossed the line into being toxic. You may disagree on that criticism, but from where I'm sitting it was legitimate.

Things like "I would be happy if they stop opposing server side decorations in Wayland" is entirely appropriate and, while demonstrating an underlying frustration, isn't toxic. Especially in a non-professional setting like this one. That's about the most passive and polite way to criticize Gnome I can imagine. It even uses passive voice! (Note that I attribute a lot of things to "Gnome" as if that was a person, I do that mostly because I don't want to call out individual contributors by name, not because I don't understand that Gnome is an organization composed of a bunch of people)

>There's no "stance" it's just a statement of facts. This is the way things are. Call it harmful or not, GNOME developers can't change it.

No, that's a statement of opinion. Gnome doesn't want to implement XDG-decoration, which is fine, but don't pretend the opposition is going against the facts here. XDG-decoration is subjective, and most non-gnome linux DEs have decided to implement it. It's a choice not to.

There's a lot of things you're saying are facts that seem to me to be subjective calls by the Gnome team. Adding a dconf setting for typeahead instead of recursive search would be another example of a subjective call.

Now their stance may be supported by facts, facts like the wayland spec requires you to implement CSD, or adding more dconf settings goes against Gnome design guidelines, but that doesn't make their conclusion some kind of immaculate fact. It's still subjective opinion, it's just supported by some facts.

So this is where it gets tricky, even something like "should gnome prioritize implementing the XDG-decoration spec" is highly highly subjective. When we debate "should gnome implement the XDG-decoration spec" we're actually debating a lot of more ephemeral subjective stuff. To debate that kind of subjective stuff we need some kind of framework, and if we can't agree on any sort of community standards aside from "I do what I want" we're going to have a hard time with that.
> Except that isn't how trade or currencies work. This is overly simplistic.

Well no, the way that trade and currencies work is that currencies are made legal tender and backed by mountains of debt and taxes repayable in that currency and as a result are extremely widely accepted, rather than being arbitrarily issued tokens redeemable for nothing with the added disadvantage of demurrage.

But we're not talking about currency, we're talking about tokens that Neal issues to anyone that wants them, and why anyone would want to trade their time or goods for them instead of currency which is much easier to spend and actually possible to hold onto. (You can't just imagine that it has better price stability than the local currency or that it is fungible; these are functions of people having incentives to trade goods or time for them) If my point that this incentive doesn't exist is "overly simplistic" and the incentives instead all point in the opposite direction, it's odd that you don't have a simple answer to the question of how to convince a critical mass of people to overcome this problem.

Local currencies like the now defunct Bristol Pound[1] and the little-used Chiemgauer were guaranteed to be easily redeemable for Euros and Sterling respectively at near parity and supported by lots of local marketing so they basically function(ed) as glorified voucher schemes. Cryptocurrencies are hyped to attract exactly the HODLers demurrage is intended to avoid so can be traded to people who think they will be worth more in future (and still most shitcoins fail) . This proposal has none of those upsides, and more conspicuous downsides. And if I want some Metric just for fun, I don't have to start accepting it, I just open an account and 10,000 of them every month for free...

[1]What they plan to do with Bristol Pay might be interesting, especially to Neal
In regards to gnome-terminal, you can try gnome-console instead which correctly supports kinetic scrolling. It's missing a lot of the settings that gnome-terminal has, so it may not meet your needs, but if you just want a simple terminal emulator it works well.
While I commend this effort I should say that seriously, just write C++ if possible. No matter what you do memory management is going to be your biggest enemy (I’m ignoring the aesthetic aspects like macros, function pointers, type safety, etc). Without RAII it’s just not worth it. Just choose the simpler portions of C++ and keep safe.
You're right that trumpets have cylindrical bores, but that's not a universal characteristic of brass instruments. For example, cornets and euphoniums have conical bores, yet they are brass instruments; their cylindrical-bore counterparts are trumpets and baritones, respectively.

You could put effort into instrumenting your main loop. Knowing how long the CPU takes to run the various routines will quickly expose bottlenecks. If you're using 90% of a high end CPU, you can assume it's not going to run well on less capable hardware. If you're using 10%, then you're probably in good shape. If you're using 100%, then it's a good opportunity to learn about various frame limiting algorithms.

Should be the range of salaries and that the company is _currently paying_ for those titles/roles. As in, if the upper range is $900k, prove to me that a person, in that role, is working at your company right now, making that. If you can't, that's a lie about the salary range. Update it.

My mother, my daughter, and I create movie- and series-watching projects, and then watch through a bunch of things that have good to great ratings from critic aggregators. Currently we are watching through various things that deal with Russian history.

I play MMOs with my mother and my brother. As with the TV-watching, we come up with themed projects where we try something a bit out of the ordinary. For example, our current project is leveling up three Druids in World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King Classic and three-manning all the 5-man dungeons within the recommended level range.

I write, play, and record songs and electronic music compositions.

I contribute to a few open-source projects, both my own and a couple of other people's. Because it's for fun, I almost always use Common Lisp.

I write science fiction novels. The current one is the fourth in a series about our solar system five thousand years in the future. Each one has taken longer to finish. I'm presently happy with my progress, though this one is taking longer than any of the previous ones, and I've started over eight or nine times so far.

I used to train, play with, and walk with my standard poodle. She died of a rare cancer last year about this time, around three to five years earlier than expected. We were very sad here. I'm waiting for breeding news from her breeder. Our plan is to adopt her great-great-grandniece and resume training, playing, and walking.

I practice training routines I learned from the Taijiquan teachers from Chen Village. I practice gently now, because of some serious chronic health issues. I will never get to where I was in 2001 or so, but I've been making a little progress lately.
> That they are self-modifying is the entire point.

From my perspective, physical destruction was the primary point, and I was very specifically calling attention to how that destruction is meaningfully different from other kinds of changes.

That the brain is self-modifying was assumed, and self modification becomes a moot point when the brain is no longer capable of the traditional processes of self modification due to physical destruction.

> And transitioning for sure changes the makeup of one's brain.

A point that I acknowledged explicitly above. That doesn't mean that attacking a region of the brain with a metal spike and hammer is somehow the same thing.

> You can backpedal all you want now but your own words are very clear.

Obviously my words were not very clear since you've taken some meaning from them that I never intended.

Hopefully this comment clarifies the original intent sufficiently (which, incidentally is not back pedaling, since nothing about my position has changed).
The popularity of these services is good evidence to the contrary.

Another thing you may not be aware is some touchpads have a scroll function that
works with only one finger on the right edge of the touchpad and it is not
always marked clearly so on the touchpad. I know that made the problem even
worse. I don't quite remember the setting to deactivate though.
I created an account and I consider shutting my own low traffic, personal homepage and blog. I think I belong to a sort of target demographic there. I also chose this to finally get a "start page" on the web with links to my social network profiles to find me.

That it's $20/year is very little but also significantly raising the likelihood it'll stay around for years. The author is also intelligently creating relatively low maintenance but high value services so this actually looks workable in the long term.

Profit share? In AAA, yes. In Indie, no. (At least not usually)

High risk as in, most people are "gamers" or love games, unaware that they either hate or are bad at making them, aka wasting about 5 years of their lives learning how to. You really have to love making them, the constant interation will kill you otherwise.

Salary wise, from someone who has worked in Indie and now works in AAA as a Technical Narrative Designer and absolutely loves it, game dev salary is about 60% of a regular UX/UI Designer salary for traditional tech companies. This is the same for Engineers or Programmers. So still a lot, but just not life changing money like some of the salaries in Silicon Valley.
