Do these extensions track the dislikes externally, or do they somehow bring it back on YouTube's side?
Agreed. I am a massive fan of YouTube Premium and YouTube Music. While I am a bit nervous because major change like this could lead to those products getting worse, I'm also hopeful that it could lead to them getting better! So in general I'm just eager to see what happens next, come what may.
Would you really want Twitter run by Sergei Brin's sister-in-law?
Would you mind sharing said YouTube presentation?
Maybe - insurance companies could start using your shopping habits to inform your risk group and therefore premiums. I could see other nefarious uses like tracking when female customers get pregnant for purposes of enforcing abortion bans or targeting of individuals by anti-abortion groups.

I think it's a mistake to underestimate the imagination of insurance adjusters and bureaucrats when it comes to how personal data could be used.

Ground News is a great site to help you understand which networks are covering which stories and ignoring others. It's honestly eye opening the number of big stories omitted by the other large non-Fox networks.
Torchegranate v0.4.0: probabilistic modeling in PyTorch
From Isaac Asimov:

The 3 laws of robotics

First Law
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Second Law
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

Third Law
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

It will be interesting to see how chat bots and search engines will define their system of ethics and morality, and even more interesting to see if humans will adopt those systems as their own. #GodIsInControl
Just tried booking in the AirBnB app. The price shown on the map is the bullshit price, not the total including fees divided by the number of nights.

So, the PSA is “don’t listen to this bozo, it’s still shit”.
There's a difference between "LLM outputs contain subtly or even flagrantly wrong answers, and the LLM has no way of recognizing the errors" and "an LLM might of its own agency decide to give specific users wrong answers out of active malice".

LLMs have no agency. They are not sapient, sentient, conscious, or intelligent.
I don't think it's fair to compare the pricing of 1990 with that of today.

To get started developing my own stuff on Windows or Android, the tools and SDKs are free today. I can do whatever I want locally and don't have to pay a dime to anyone.
Why would a sales rep be in the support chain? I have had decent support from them, and certainly no problem getting attention. I'm _not_ an enterprise customer, just basic. (approx 25 users)
That's interesting; I've been going the other direction. One by one I've been retrofitting my recessed can lights with fixed LED fixtures made by Cree. Because the LED floodlight bulbs fail relatively quickly, no matter which brand I buy, but I've never had a single one of the Cree fixed-LED fixtures go bad (and the oldest are pushing 10 years now). I figure the heat management is better on the purpose-built fixture, which explains why it lasts.
Looking for something like this exactly. Is it possible to install on site? No way my company would want prop data on a cloud.
Wait until you'll own nothing. That's when the real happiness kicks in.
It is just beyond me how people still til recently and even now denied any human impact as we dumped large amounts of what has been stored away over millions of years into the ground by processes that don't exist anymore.. just by the most simple reasoning ... how (:
There's also VRBO, and for a longer term stay you can look for a place on Facebook Marketplace and become an actual tenant
Oh, VCs themselves as zombies. Usually, it's VC-funded companies that become zombies - they can pay their own ongoing bills, but not pay off their investment. They have positive value, so they're not just shut down.

VCs prefer a hard fail. Then they don't have to manage the ongoing company. Apparently zombies have become so common that some VC firms are now stuck with a portfolio of zombies.

When you think about it, most of Alphabet's non-ad projects are zombies. They lose money or don't make significant profits, and they're not growing into something big.
If it's in the company of curious, smart people like the kind I routinely encounter here on HN, then yes! Absolutely! I greatly enjoy a good round of civil speculation and discussion with my fellow hackers :P
You clearly haven’t lived in San Francisco if you think crappy behavior is limited to the right.

The vile they’ll spew at someone who doesn’t adhere 100% to their views is pretty shocking.

Entertainingly I -used- to do this at Walgreens, except now they started asking to verify the zip code associated with the account. :-)
I am only shocked that half of the country does not believe MSM has deliberately misled them. We have much more work to do to reveal this to them.
Exactly - it’s still there (and still has its own semantics), but it’s also inert.

And, to address your point directly, of course mathematics detached from context can be used in practice. One can certainly create-slash-discover an abstract algebra, derives theorems about it detached from outside context, and then later on discover a context in which the abstract structure is applicable, and apply the pre-derived theorems.
Tommy Tutone gave up pop stardom and became a programmer. It would be really cool if he created a SaaS platform called "Jenny's Number".
How can you tell when a video contains something misleading? For example, I struggle to find quality DIY videos without the dislikes warning me away. Dislikes are a great way for the community to clean house.
Layoffs in tech. Not hearing much about other parts of the economy. Totally possible I haven't seen the reporting but I'd argue that tech/growth industries suffering layoffs don't really indicate a recession by itself even if they are large.
I've stopped using AirBnB, it's a worse experience than hotels now and usually very similar price due to all the fees. It was an awesome service several years ago but not anymore.
PSA, try yellow tinted glasses,they filters out a lot (all?) the blue light and it mostly solved the issue for me.
There are special "night driving glasses" also and it might be that "blue light glasses" also work, I haven't tried.
I just tried a pair of yellow tinted glasses I had lying around they improved things immensely.
The button is still there, you just don't see the number of dislikes without a plugin.

That can't be right. Cars are primarily 12VDC.
I kinda agree, low interest rates get countries into trouble that only a panademic can reset.
Exactly, she was only CEO since 2014. Saying she made YT is laughable, if anything most of the annoying things at YT happened under her reign, from bogus DMCAs to dislike button removal to the force fed YT shorts and so on.
honestly shocked half of Americans don't think they're being misled by their medium of choice.
>She's 'starting a new chapter' to focus on her family, health and passion projects.

So YouTube wasn't her passion project?! C'mon.
People who can buy more services instead of goods tend to be wealthier. I’m happier now that I can just Lyft/uber/bus/subway everywhere and don’t have to own a car- but when I was poorer I couldn’t afford to just grab a 30 minute taxi whenever I wanted and I had to own a car. I feel like this is a huge confound.
Why take the risk and hard work of building a company when you can get rich risk free (as a vc)
The worst ones I face are the Acura MDX “jewel eye” LED headlights. They are terrible whether oncoming or following. I can tell from a long way away that it’s an MDX.
Yes, there are no liars in socialism. And there certainly isn't any state boots on your neck. Everyone gets a nice car, good friends, and honest state propaganda, comrade.
GP made a joke ;) Millennials and GenZ have been getting told this "once in a lifetime" story for years now.

It's the same with all these natural disasters that apparently only happen once in a century every few years.

Ask HN: Time to learn SAP in this tech market?
Most startups and Silicon Valley firms are on hiring freeze and laying off . Job openings are plenty in non-tech companies most of them requiring SAP ABAP and SAP functional knowledge . How does one go about learning or falling into that ? Those jobs seem to pay pretty well ( without the RSUs)
YouTube was an acquisition. Susan had zero input in its creation, she was working at Google at the time.
> With facial recognition being a nearly solved problem, cash won't even save you.

Would be interesting to see the drop in positive face recognition rate (per human detected) from mask usage.
I disagree. She was the CEO and was clearly not great from the perspective of users, in part because the real customers are advertisers. People who say "um, ok" when a CEO at a user-hostile corporation leaves are not haters. I know there are plenty of actual haters but I don't see "so much hate".

Also from Wikipedia: "YouTube was founded by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. The trio were early employees of PayPal, which left them enriched after the company was bought by eBay. Hurley had studied design at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign."
Thanks, this is excellent feedback:

* The REPL is supposed to do autocomplete where it makes sense. If you enter A1. it should show you a list of things you can do there. That always feels better than asking for it explicitly. Let me know if that doesn't work.

* Yeah, code changes don't rerun the affected cells. It is something we've debated, and maybe we should? It feels like it could also cause unexpected things to happen. Hmm. Maybe we should though.

* This is tricky. Spilling from a function, doesn't fill the cells and then append does. Open for suggestions on how to make this better.

* We call the OpenAI API - they don't always answer these days :-(

* That's a good point. We should fix that!
> Is there any foreseeable bad outcome for customers?

Mostly: better advertising means you're most likely to be duped into wasting money on things you don't want, or making suboptimal purchasing decisions, making your life worse over time.

But also: insurance companies and banks could use your grocery purchase habits to adjust your premiums or loan rates based on e.g. whether or not your purchases indicate a healthy lifestyle, a pregnancy, having kids, having some kind of medical condition, etc.
Let us know if you figure it out.

I mean, it depends on what you’re booking. Having private bedrooms as an option can work out nicely for a solo traveller. Cheaper than a hotel, fewer issues than a hostel.
The federal EPA requires states to run emissions inspections in urban counties but leaves it up to the state for rural counties.

There's no federal requirement for safety inspections so that varies state to state.
I have fructose malabsorption and when I eat or drink too much of it, I get brain fog (slow reaction, dizziness etc.) for one or two days. Would be interesting to see if fructose malabsorption and Alzheimer's correlate.

Reminds me of when my friend and I were leaving this pay-what-you-want pro-capitalism pop-up exhibit in Brussels. At the end, there was a thing asking us to donate. My friend said "Let's leave what a true capitalist would leave" and I didn't know what he meant until I saw him walking out without giving anything.
She didn't build anything. She got Google to buy it.
It's idealogical capture.
Example: Hallmark doubles down on LGBT content, president splits to create the Great American Channel with pro-christian and anti-lgbt content.
The GAC channel is one of the channels with the fastest increase in subscribers.

This is a case study that several researchers we have are actively investigating as we look to buy ads on that network.

Anywhere that collects your phone number in exchange for coupons at the checkout (cough cough Old Navy) or your email to send you a digital receipt (looking at you Home Depot) is probably sharing or selling your data.
But it's not really the "total price". It doesn't include taxes.
An interesting perspective is most of the suggested docs were written in the last couple years, at most.

I think you'd benefit by finding retrocomputer people and asking them about docs they've seen to find the best technical writing of the century.

I don't have a short list of IBM Mainframe docs, but those are probably "the best documentation money could create" in the 50s-70s.

Easily second best would be the DEC TOPS-10 Software Notebook Series which in my experience was a set of 20 binders and in one shelf it contained all you need to run a major 80s minicomputer operating system including apps.

What 80s DEC documentation did VERY well, was every doc was planned out intelligently and in detail by actual users to make sense to a professional sysadmin on the job. Unlike "sales/marketing" driven docs, the software notebook series TRULY understood its audience of professional sysadmins. I also feel that 80s DEC documentation had the best intros in technical writing I've ever seen. Intros are underrated and the author(s) need to make a "contract" with their reader before throwing detail at them. Take for example, volume 6 or so of the dec-10 software notebook series which has the ALGOL programmers's reference guide with the best intro ever. "This is where you start" should be the most carefully designed and written chapter of the docs, not a filler chapter. In summary, don't skimp on outline and don't skimp on writing a real intro.

Personally I like some of the Tandy/Radio Shack Z-80 manuals. Perhaps the extended basic manual for the model III, or the 6809 assembly book they resold are the pinnacle of late last century technical writing for a more general audience.

Retrocomputing is a fun hobby that extends far beyond technical writing critique, obviously.
All numbers are purely theoretical; an abstraction.

There are no "two gloves", just as there are no "two stones". There's energy in certain configuration and if this configuration matches a certain macroscopic criteria, we call it "a stone".

So, even though you see ten of something, the "ten" is only in your head.

I don't know about pandemic checks causing this, but VC's have a huge amount of undeployed capital from the boom of 20/21. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/venture-firms-290-bi...

There's a lot of money specifically allocated to venture funds that needs to be deployed.
Ok, so why don't they do that today in preparation to receive those federal funds? Why wait until the end of 2023 or 2024?

Why would they not allow 3rd-party cars to charge, today, months after their original date they set to allow 3rd party cars to charge?

There's lots of state level grants available to apply for today, so we're already in the "billions available for public EV charging" future state.

You have now shifted goalposts and are arguing about things different from the ones you started with. There doesn't seem to be anymore to discuss about and so i will end this with the following notes.

Your original contention that Dijkstra had not written much code (thus insinuating that he was mostly "talk") i have proven false. Incidentally, he wrote about 1318 EWDs totaling over 7700 pages in addition to his other books and papers (most of them have some "program pseudo-code")! This is indeed some impressive output.

I had also pointed out that much of his work is at a "meta-level" trying to get at the nature of programming and trying to establish that discipline on a sound mathematical basis. Thus it cannot be compared directly to conventional programing but one has to understand the intent behind his writings and then try to practice them honestly in one's own work. He did not claim that his methods were "easy" only that they were a necessity to write "correct" programs. The degree to which they are necessary and applicable by "ordinary programmers" (i.e. w/o too much mathematical maturity) can be tuned (hence my example of DbC from Eiffel). From Mathematics we all know the difficulty of writing and reading proofs. So your expectation that Dijkstra's usage of it should be easy to grasp is fundamentally wrong. It is the nature of the subject itself that demands effort and there is no getting around it. Incidentally while i am somewhat familiar with Wirth's compiler book (written for students), i have not read EWD550(seems to be written as a challenge response and quite intricate/non-trivial). It seems that they have very different purposes and audiences in mind and so a comparison between them is not fair.
Poor phrasing on my part. I meant that it has a negative impact on public perception (well, except among those of us who find it fascinating!), not that media is presenting it inaccurately.
90210 of course. Although if you're customizing the area code based on current location, maybe do the same with the zip code.
Is the other way around: people that are wealthier can afford to buy more services. They are objectively more expensive than owning in the long run.
There are oodles of data brokers out there: axciom, neustar, etc. Facebook ads would be the quickest way for a small time daycare to target to local shoppers.
Every single one of these problems is solvable by a society who actually cares to make roads safe.

I believe the various plain text accounting tools (ledger, hledger, beancount) have tools that allow for this. I haven't used them as I use gnucash but they may be worth a look.
YouTube has been riding it's content momentum for too long. It really needs a change of leadership to continue to innovate.

For some searches, it's baffling that the top results are clearly intuitively wrong (e.g. showing videos where dislike to like ratio is very high, compared to clearly better alternatives that you can find if you wade through the results)
It's just made-up or out of date data, the feature has been removed, not just hidden.
That the two biggest supermarket chains in the US are considering merger indicates that US antitrust enforcement is far too weak.
This balloon did not have a heater. From TFA:

> These floater balloons often use only solar panels, no batteries. Batteries were dropped from the projects early on because they have limited charging cycles before they stop accepting a charge, especially in the harsh temps at altitude, -40F/-40C or worse. When the battery stops accepting a charge, it ends telemetry from the mission. So they only report telemetry during daylight, when the sun is at a high enough angle to illuminate the tiny solar panels. In the Arctic winter, the days are short and the sun might not get high enough to wake up the electronics.
Can you brick your cable if you unplug it during the upgrade?
My experience in this space is you would be surprised how many thing slike this only exist because of as few as one person wants it to be that way. It's not even the leader necessary. A mid-level VP can have an outsized impact just based on their area of responsibility.

It can be purely emotional too, no data whatsoever. If there is data it's just selectively chosen to support the preconceived view. It literally happens all the time.

Just look at the changes to the Macbook following Johy Ive's departure or even the iOS UI changes following Forstall's departure. In the latter case, the removal of skeuomorphic design was so impactful Apple engineers called it "de-Forstall-ation".

In this case, I see it being big brands pushing for the removal of dislike button. They simply don't want to be dislike-bombed for doing something unpopular. That's it. So I wouldn't bet on Wijicki leaving impacts this.
