I think you're being unnecessarily adversarial here.

Sponsored ads in videos are everywhere, and well delineated. Third party tools exist to skip them already -- and YouTube already has the data on where they start and end. They even show them on the timeline, although they call "end of sponsored advertisement" "most replayed"… presumedly because of everyone skipping the ad, losing their place, and then having to step back to try to find where the content begins again.

Here's how this could work. I would pay an additional $10/month for YouTube Scarlet. Content creators would have three options -- declare that their videos have no sources of revenue outside of YouTube revenue; provide start and end time stamps for any external-revenue-generating segments; or do nothing.

For my $10/month, videos in the second category would skip their promotion. In exchange, some portion of my $10/month would go to the video creator, just like ad/Premium revenue does today, and the metrics on number of videos where this segment was skipped would be made available in analytics for sharing with sponsors. Finally, I'd have access to a user preference to suppress videos in the third category for appearing in recommendations, ever.

Does this deal with every case? No. Would it make YouTube more pleasant for me and potentially others who share my values, without impacting current regular and Premium users, and with a neutral or positive impact on content creators? I assert yes.

Conspiracy theorists that push the idea there is some global cabal of people trying to control the narrative for their own enrichment / others detriment is simply false, and that narrative is damaging in a number of ways.

Agreed, the problem is that there is also palpable, verifiable distortion of facts and "imposition of narrative" within a substantial portion of mainstream and "alternative" news.

We face the problem that many people can't go from "journalism is objective" to "journalism is a mixture of multiple agenda-serving narratives mixed with facts that still isn't a 'grand conspiracy'". Moreover, a substantial portion of media one step from the mainstream really like the "grand conspiracy" narrative because it binds people to them as "truthers".
Sometimes there are things are obviously bad and harmful and it can be known ahead of time that it will harm people. These things should be stopped before they happen in a properly functioning society.

If someone invents a way to do it safely, they should have the burden of safely proving that first.

If someone wants to stockpile 100 tons of explosive material in my neighborhood, I don't want my estate to use the courts to find remedy after my section of the neighborhood gets leveled/cratered. I want the obviously harmful activity to be stopped before the hazard is created.
There is a TON of work in designing, routing, manufacturing and installing harnesses which I think is more important than the mass savings. Harnesses really complicates design and assembly, because you have harnesses that pass through multiple parts and subassemblies managed by different teams.

The multidrop feature of this standard means that in a car, you could have a main harness that rarely needs any updates, and as features are added to the next model of car, most updates could be handled with a local wire harness update.

A harness mistake(s) cost Airbus billions on the A380 program.[1]

From a security perspective that is a horrible idea.
It's people who modify their cars to run as much camber as possible and run wide wheels with narrow tires stretched onto them so you're driving on a rubber-band width contact patch that is actually part of the tire's sidewall.

Example: https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Nissan-...

People who are into stance consider it an accolade if you can drive your car for some time and leave the stickers on the tires on (which are supposed to be removed during installation) and not have them rub off, because the contact patch is so narrow.

It's stupid, it's dangerous, and therefore it gets a lot of hate. Hate is attention, so insecure people who are afraid to actually get good at modifying and driving cars will do stance instead because it's formulaic and obvious what will get you accepted into the subcommunity and it gets lots of negative attention (which is still attention) everywhere else.

Thank you for this amazingly insightful comment.

A question as an ignorant layperson, if I may:

They could have said it cost the same amount of carbon as 25 US drivers emit each year. In the grand scheme of things, that's nothing. That's one long-haul flight per trained model. And you just need to train them once. Querying the models cost far less.

Don't they need to continuously re-train these models as new information comes in? For example, how does Bing bot get new information? It seems like they would need to routinely keep it up-to-date with its own index.

In high theft areas, insurance is jacked up because the risk is so high. If you are getting your bike stolen every 3 or 4 months, the insurance company has already adjusted your premium so that they aren't losing money.

> This idea that you avoid creating a dependency mess by writing more of your own work, isn't the entire truth. The dependency is just internal

The point is that it's better to depend on something simple and quickly fixable than something convoluted. Vendors/sponsors can and do go away.

If you have a skilled API builder, they know how to do KISS. If a specific need requires something that's not KISS-able, such builders will be honest about it and recommend a pluggin. But every shop and domain is different such there are indeed cases where throwing libraries at the problem is the right tool for that particular job.
It seems to me that YT as a product has vastly improved during her tenure and become an incredibly valuable brand that probably has more value than "Google" at this point. It's facing an existential threat in TikTok and still hanging on. It more or less shoved Vimeo aside. It's definitely moved on a bit from the early days of purely "home video" amateur content to be a real marketplace for professional and aspiring professional content.
No they didn't. They failed to capitalize on existing ideas and past ideas.
I'd be interested in hearing more about your disagreement! If I had to reconcile this post with my overall shameless FM promotion, I'd say that "proofreading is hard" is the human limit that is amplified by AI use, and more specification is a potential solution. But also, historically, an expensive one, so I don't know if that's going to adopted enough to fully offset the drawbacks of mass AI adoption.

Plus, if they started getting so many balloons where this is no longer feasible in cost as a method of bringing them down, it will create a lot of incentive to develop cheaper methods that wouldn't have been developed otherwise, and no other nation can keep up with the level of investment the U.S. can deliver on warmaking. Maybe it would have been better for you if you just didn't poke the bear and get it started on all these projects that are now undoubtedly going on behind the scenes because of all of this.
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki Steps Down, Handing Reins to Top Deputy
To be clear, this is all we’re talking about: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/promoting_a...

There is no shouting in these Smart App Banners. The entire user-visible experience is completely controlled by Apple. It is just a passive bar at the top of a webpage that informs the user of the option, which they can dismiss. It isn’t jumping up and down, it isn’t playing loud sound files at the user screaming at them to click it.

What really sucks is when websites like New Reddit provide their own custom modal prompts that cover the webpage and push you to the app, and they’re extremely hard to dismiss and oftentimes these half-baked implementations are broken even if you accept their suggestion to open the app. That type of prompt is not relevant to this discussion, at all. They can do that no matter what you think and no matter what Apple implements. The way you have been talking about these things makes me believe you think those prompts were what is under discussion. They’re not. Smart App Banners are not shouting “INSTALL THE APP!”

I’m personally surprised that Apple doesn’t offer a setting for Safari to disable Smart App Banners, which would be a simple way to stop annoying the few users who are bothered by them. I see at least one safari extension which claims to do this, but since this passive banner is extremely unobtrusive, why bother?

I’m immensely bothered by all sorts of ads and anti-features, but just knowing if there is an app is a legitimately useful thing, so this does not bother me. Even calling it a “prompt” is a stretch since it does not require any action to dismiss. It is a very light “call to action”, of course. If I’m browsing a website I don’t care about and they use this feature, I can ignore it or hide it. It doesn’t get in the way. I'm fairly certain you can even scroll down and the Smart App Banner will automatically scroll off the top of the screen, resizing the website to fill the entire screen.
Yes, I agree that it is unreasonable to expect this of Youtube Premium, as that is not the value proposition of that product.

The original comment was proposing a new product, at a higher price point to reflect its higher costs, that /does/ cater to this expectation.
Kagi, a paid search engine, and I, one of their customers, disagree, for what that's worth.
> I disagree. If someone is a bad driver, and causing crashes, we don't say "we need to improve the road system".

Well yes, and that is literally exactly the problem. That is exactly why its so unsafe in the US. Because instead of building a safe system everything is blamed on people.

In countries that take road safety seriously, every crash is analyzed and often the road system is changed to make sure it does not happen again. That is why places like Finland, Netherlands and so on have been consistently improving in terms of death and harm caused by the road system.

Again, the book I linked goes into a lot of detail about road safety engineering.

> We suspend the drivers license until they can prove they are capable of being a safe driver.

An unsafe designed street often leads to situation where even good drivers intuitively do the wrong thing. Again, this is exactly the problem.

If you build a system where lots of avg. drivers make accidents, then you have a lot of accidents.

> We should hold this software to the same standard. Until it can demonstrate safety at or above human level, it should be outlawed.

Yes, but its a question of how much limited resources should be invested in analyzing and validating each piece of software by each manufacturer. In general software like Tesla AP would likely pass this test.

I am not against such tests but the reality is that resources are limited.

> Road systems should always be worked on, but when a crash happens its usually the drivers fault, except in a minority of cases where bad road engineering is to blame.

I strongly disagree with this statement. Its a totally false analysis. If a system is designed in a way known to be non-intuitive and leading to a very high rate accidents then its a bad system. Just calling everybody who makes a mistake a bad drive is a terrible, terrible approach to safety.

Once you have a safe road system, if somebody is an extremely bad driver, yes taking that person of the road is good. However in a country where so much of the population depends on a car, that punishment can literally destroy a whole family. So just applying it to anybody who makes a mistake isn't viable, specially in system that makes it incredibly easy to make mistakes.

The numbers don't even show the problem, the unsafe road system leads to less people walking in the US, and somehow still creating a high rate of deaths for people who walk.
> In the same way that the term "full self driving" or "autopilot" conjures images of vehicles driving themselves?

I disagree with your point here, but whether correct or not you should be consistent: if words conjuring things is important, then the previous commenter's point is valid.

Yes, also residential "zoning laws" broadly still exist - it's just that they are state-level residential zoning regs rather than city/county ones.

The implication that this is anarchy is incorrect. Construction and zoning are still highly regulated, just by someone else this time (FWIW, I fully support this and hope many projects built and cities stop crying and get in compliance with the HCD).

No it isn't. Recall means "The manufacturer sold you something they should not have, and are legally required to remedy that problem". It has NOTHING to do with the action needing to be taken. It has NOTHING to do with the product category. Lots of recalls, ie for food or child toys, basically say "throw it out".

The people who keep making this "Recall means go back to the dealer" claim is simply down to them never paying attention to all the recalls in the world that don't make it to their mailbox like car recalls do.

Really like this article. I'm hoping more people write about what's different about SV now, than in the past.

Actually, CAN XL is just around the corner with up to 20 Mbps vs 10 Mbps of 10BaseT1S. The other difference is that CAN XL has a paylod of 2048 bytes and will have data link layer security from the get go. While 10BaseT1S has just a little bit over 1 kbytes and MACsec is still ery expansive.

That said, both technologies are just prototypes and expected availability is in about 3 years.

AI development will not be using no-code technologies. Text is the best form of compression (of meaning/intent/information) for 99% of software and that isn't going to change.

What AI will accomplish is creating an entire new package ecosystem from scratch, written at a low-level so that it can be extremely performant, while also being highly extensible, abstract, intuitive, interoperable with all languages, etc.

Then the code will be able to take human prompts and translate them into business logic code that uses all those packages. For fuzzy domains with low correctness requirements, the AI will be able to make all the changes to the codebase without verification. For domains with higher correctness requirements, humans will review all the code, or you could have the AI first generate a formal specification based on the prompt, have the humans review that, and then have the AI generate code along with a proof of that code's correctness in conformance to the spec.

I get it, and this is why a lot of SW engineers think they could solve any systemic issue in the world by breaking it down into sub-problems. Unfortunately it isn't true.

I'll give you a concrete example: AML (anti money laundering). If you build a fintech with zero dependencies, you will need to deal with this. It's not manufactured complexity—it's an authentically complex problem which stems from 1) the actual law and 2) the risk profile the business is willing to assume. Now, you can come up with clever ways to make the rules of your AML policy composable and easy to change, but the reality is that you will immediately hit an ocean of edge cases that require ever more nuanced mitigations. You can make keep subdividing and decomposing the problem, but you will end up with an architecture diagram which is (wait for it) complex. So yeah, you shouldn't over-engineer before you launch, but eventually, your AML system will take on a certain amount of unavoidable complexity.

Now try to do all of the above WITHOUT unit tests, and see how far you get.
Yes. In fact I'm wearing a tight undershirt and I'm feeling chubby right now!
Yes, and good that they do.
