Hang on, you are suggesting that youtube generates more money for youtubers than the youtubers generate for youtube? Those advertisers wouldn't pay anything if there weren't a steady stream of compelling content to which to attach the pre-roll ads...
I've actually been doing exactly that for more than 3 years[1].

Looking at that post, it is still the case 3+ years later that it is nearly impossible to report fraudulent listings and sellers to Amazon as a customer. It's literally easier to contact the FTC about it.

Haha I've been really vibing to Sseth's content of late. Thought of this video too.

You need crop rotation for beans at least. To lower the risk of parasites and deceased.
Maybe in a controlled setting they can detect mines, but there are plenty of other reasons for dry soil, i.e. hard to detect consistently without false positives. For tank camouflage that's all you need, something that blends in with false positives.
No, I have a PhD in physics and you are completely right. I had the same issue with her leap. She implies the co-moving frame is a privileged frame in SR, which is basically equivalent to saying: "SR is wrong and thus FTL travel is possible without time travel". Needless to say this is an extraordinary claim that she glosses over in two sentences of a short Youtube video.

She's obviously a very smart and professional physicist, but this video that she published is bordering on crank territory and it makes me wonder if the social media fame has gotten to her somehow. It's truly baffling.
Here's a little sci-fi short fiction...

In 2041, Google begins offering a service where you can pay $28 ($50 in USD2041) for a human to review your claim. Since it costs them $8 to do this, they will allow you to appeal their decision as many times as you want.

In 2042, a data analyst discovers that routing claims to a specific subset of reviewers maximizes this revenue stream and updates the business logic accordingly.
Just like in some of those OSes, as they have several deployment workflows.
Plex through its web interface and apps offers free streaming of some live TV and movies. Free as in beer.

For enthusiasts, it can also catalogue and offer a portal for your local media collection. That is also free.

The Plex Pass is not free. It offers some neat customization features for the app, plus hardware transcoding of media which I suspect is the reason most people pay for it.
I mean the place is already next to a bunch of houses. I'm imagining that all of those places aren't exactly empty. But of course this thing is built across the street from a Safeway (which feels pretty relevant to the lack of the success to be honest).

It feels just like there are so many more simple narratives here. Like seriously, there's a supermarket that looks larger and has a parking lot just there! Why would people bother crossing a 4-lane highway to go to whole foods? And so you're left with a huge supermarket that is trying to cater purely to foot traffic, outside of a place with that much of it to begin with. It sure feels like hubris meant this site simply did not work.

It just feels like such a stretch to claim that crime is the thing here.

PineTab-V and PineTab2 Launch
Ha; I’d forgotten my experience with LIFX bulbs and Amazon Warehouse Deals back in 2017 when we originally moved to USA, this exact situation happened across 50+ bulbs.

They’d sold a LIFX to Customer A who bought a $0.69 BR30 from Home Depot, substituted into the LIFX packaging and then returned to Amazon, who refunded them, and listed the item on Warehouse Deals.

On that one Amazon CS was also somewhat useless but they did at least refund us.

When it eventually came to a senior leaders attention, Amazon got it sorted out properly. They ended up auditing all their stock in Warehouse Deals for this type of item and discovered widespread fraud. Sounds like they fixed smart bulbs but haven’t fixed GPUs though!
Looks like here?

The article's claims about Kirkegaard are all well cited, linking to his own comments.
Does anyone know how fleshed out Einstein’s ideas were up until his first papers? It strikes me that there are all these modern minds - Witten with his M theory, Wolfram, Penrose, so many others, who seem to just be putting things out there. “Could be this!” Impossible to prove, or mathematically beautiful but practically useless, etc. just a very strange stage of affairs.
That's a great point! Thank you so much for the valuable feedback. I'll definitely keep that in mind while crafting today's lesson!
> Hard to understand why no company has directly taken on YouTube

Up until recent history, it was a money losing business. I’m sure that’s turned around now but mainly through heavily injecting ads. It would be difficult to disrupt them because of the network effects of all the content, viewers, and creators. And it would be hard to compete on price (whether subscription cost or amount of ads) without having the kind of infrastructure Google has.

It might be done in the future, but it will be anything but easy.
Web browsers are a moving target, just like operating systems. Anyone can 'build there own'; but I'd also say that it is close to impossible to build a secure and viable competing web browser that correctly implements the specification better than Chrome.

The two most important keywords in Drew's blogpost is *serious* and *security*. There is not one mention of either of those words in this blog post; hence Drew's points still stands unchallenged.

You can try, but so did Servo which was a 'serious attempt' and not even the Rust hype could convince the masses that it was better than Chrome.
And even the creators
Thanks for taking the time to share this idea. We have added it to our drawing board.
I feel for you, but just banish Amazon everything from your life, and convince others to do the same. We lived fine without Amazon before they existed, and we'll live fine without them once they're gone.

I'm on the verge of getting banned
as they've warned me I'm returning too much, and have had enough negative interactions with their support that I'm in a similar boat.

It's been somewhat freeing giving them up. There's plenty of D2C out there we've been neglecting due to AMZs marketplace...

People buy beats??? But they are expensive for such poor audio quality…

I don’t understand Amazons destruction policy. I ordered some stuff a few years ago and it never arrived. Amazon replaced the order for me which arrived in 4 days. About 5 months later the original package showed up… I tried to contact Amazon about it and they just said keep it…

Yet when my kindle stopped working after a month they sent a replacement and asked for the old one to be destroyed…
We spend tons of time at work and it’s where we got a lot of our value in our lives. I recently went to a dinner party where there were lots of people like me who wanted to talk about work and it was refreshing after spending so long talking to people who hate their jobs. Grass is greener and all that.

It has been my experience that most people will freeze up more or less in an emergency. Some people will become completely catatonic, while others "just" lose 40 IQ points and start focusing on unimportant stuff ("I should clean my room" when there's a fire).

Some rare individuals are naturally calm in an emergency. I'm not one of those, but through unfortunate experiences I now recognize when it happens to me and I can force myself to prioritize and think logically.
I just set up Plex with the Audnexus agent (https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle), using the Prologue app (https://prologue.audio/) to listen on my phone. It was a little bit of a fiddle to set up, but it's worked wonderfully.
It’s not that difficult to build a browser, but it’s very difficult to build your own browser engine, and kudos to Ladybird devs for that undertaking!
I'm finding it weird that unlike other non-trivial projects like OSes or compilers,

people often discourage building web browser engine because it is "hard" or something like that

like... how is it different from building a compiler?

You gotta build HTML parser, CSS parser, figure out a fancy structure to represent those concepts and modify at fly.

Also there's difference between making it work and making state of the art.

That persons says that there's shitton of RFCs - yea sure, but you don't aim to support everything from the beginning.

Let's start with HTML + CSS, then build basic js interpreter
Ah so the OP lied, great.

105 machines with 28 cores each, says the presentation, and over infiniband. Looks like RonDB is quite impressive.
Exactly, it is the same philosophy with which VCs will pour billions of dollars into a business to prioritize growth over everything. When all competition is eliminated, there is no one left to challenge you and you get all the benefits of a monopoly.
Yeah the "next/image" has always bothered me, I suspect it's a huge revenue stream for them

My advice is to just turn off the linting errors by adding this rule to ".eslintrc.json", like this:

{
"rules": {
// Other rules
"@next/next/no-img-element": "off"
}
}
I think it's an unreliable standard?

Like, everything people say could incite flaming given the right situation. So saying that something could when it doesn't is an arbitrary standard. Also you can't run the statistical risk more than once, so your sample size will always be 1.
The problem isn't the web browser. The problem is that your Javascript engine has to be staggeringly stellar or your web browser will feel like it's encased in molasses.

I wish them luck, though. We could use some real competition in the web browser space again.
Dealing with common and uncommon problems with parsing CSV with Ruby
I think Java is a fine first language - it has a strongly typed, static runtime with good cross platform support, and stellar backwards compatibility (meaning that you can use decade old code samples as well).

The often touted alternative starting language is C and python, and I believe Java is better than both — C’s mentioned advantage is “learning low level details”, but I don’t see it as necessary, plus C can fail at runtime (or worse, at *some runtime on someone else’s machine) in completely cryptic ways, you may not even realize your program is incorrect until you submit an assignment. I have seen even very smart students be puzzled by it. Also, pointers can be learned afterwards easily, I don’t see it problematic at all.

Python’s problem comes mostly from its dynamically typed nature, it is very hard for new programmers to reason about the runtime state of programs, and why might have it failed on the nth cycle of this loop.

Java is a great in-between. It is not perfect (for example arrays having special syntax is not ideal), but not bad and it being an industry language is just a plus.

Of course most indo-european languages have declensions or at least conjugation. That includes English even if it is overly simplistic there.

CJK languages do not really have that, they don't even have conjugation. They have simple suffixes at best to mark a verb as being interrogative.

Words do exist in all CJK languages and are meaningful. Tokenizing by Hangul radicals doesn't really make sense if you're not going to tokenize by decomposed letter in romance languages too (e.g. hôtel would be h, o, ^, t, e, l).
I dunno, I thought it did a pretty good job explaining itself, not least in the closing scene where, as a side effect of the same sterling character work it features throughout, it literally explains itself. What did you find stupid about it?

Some years ago, I accidentally got into the camera comparison game.

It started with this Show HN about a weekend project which displays flashdrives on a scatterplot:

Over time, I made the chart interactive (so one can filter by specs) and extended it to phones, monitors, tablets, 3D-Printers, MP3-Players, SSDs and also cameras:

Not sure how much it can be a replacement for DPReview, which had much more in depth reviews. Open for feedback.
A better way to frame the question of “what do you do for a living” is “what do you for leisure?” Or “how have you been spending your free time lately ?” Or “what have you been up to lately?”

I love and support this idea very much. I had actually been thinking about this exact solution myself, but I'd personally want to stay clear of anything involving real money, so it's great that you're doing it. :)

Just a note which probably isn't worth your time to act on, but using this service as a maintainer in Finland is illegal unless you can offer a geoblocking feature that can block any Finnish supporters from routing money to Finnish maintainers. This is due to our Money Collection Act which prohibits soliciting any donations except for very strict circumstances which aren't really applicable here. Might be worth a note on the page if you have extra time, since this is not know by many Finns that I've talked to.
So your claim is that GPT-4 is a stochastic parrot?

Meanwhile, the creators at OpenAI claims that it is not.

How do we test your claim? What are the logical reasoning questions we can ask GPT-4 that it shouldn't be able to answer if it's just a stochastic parrot?

I keep asking people this, but so far no one has answered. Is the claim a personal belief that you don't want to discuss, similar to your religious beliefs?

If so, fine, but please make it clear that you're not making a scientific claim.
In anglo countries at least, population growth and a large portion of economic growth has been driven by migration.

There are very strong incentives to try and "keep the party going", especially in economies (say Canada/Australia/NZ) that look basically like a thin layer of life support wrapped around an extractive housing market.

Telling people what you do is more than just telling them your job title, it's also a great opportunity to tell them what motivates you about your job, and thus showing some of your values, which is pretty important when meeting new people and allows you to more easily form bonds with those that share similar values.
Chrome wasn't built in a day.
I think there is an important aspect of it which Andreas glimpsed over - do it incrementally. While Ladybird is not yet on par with more mature engines it already works for a lot of webpages just fine.
The strong leftward tilt is because part of the political ideology of the left is that society is not currently already leftist (it obviously isn’t — we live in a capitalist world) and critical theorists analyze our society under the historical and structural conditions as to why our society is the way it is. More quantifiable explanations are going to draw from anthropology, economics, sociology and political science. More qualitative explanations are necessarily more philosophical, so that means drawing from thinkers like Marx. That should be expected.

That does not mean that every person in those departments is a communist. Marx simply did a lot of early table-setting for critiquing capitalism. Later thinkers did a lot to extend and refute him, so I don’t think it’s entirely fair to say that critical theorists are trying to make “Marxism work”. To my knowledge, orthodox Marxists hate a lot of critical theory. Foucault, for example, is widely read in these circles, but as much as he criticized capitalism and society, he was ultimately a neoliberal. Politics is messy and critical theory is not a monolith.

The wishful thinking part cuts both ways. Leftists members of the academy would probably criticize liberals for wishful thinking that say, the capitalist status quo with some modifications could actually save us from climate catastrophe, or that the most sensitive and important parts of being human are not lost when we live under what they consider a structurally unjust system. Or the blind optimism that the “moral arc of history bends towards justice”.

Given that Marxist-Leninism has failed (although MLs would argue otherwise), I agree with the sentiment that it would be unwise to “try it again”. But an honest and charitable engagement with Marx would show that the claims he makes are rather minimal and broad. His relevance is tied to the fact that he can be reinterpreted, and it would be wrongheaded to see it as any more dogmatic than run of the mill non-leftist, folk politics. The guy simply had a lot to say about the industrial revolution.
YouTube is running ads on those videos and taking that money -- they may or may not give some to the video producer. YT also takes a large cut of subscriptions, tips and "superchats".

YouTube is making money here.

The issue is that YT (Google/ Alphabet) is making so much money from so many folks that they don't consider it significant to mistakenly screw over one producer at a time, because they've got millions of others.

Even for large channels, YT allows false copyright claims by large companies to hit the producer in the wallet, because Channel Bob 1M Subscribers doesn't compare to Mouse That Thanks China For Filming Near The Concentration Camps.

But the whole time, Youtube is making money on ads.

Same story with other energy sources. If you don't have coal, natural gas
or uranium reserves, you have to import it. You could argue the risk with renewables is higher, but given the history of oil embargoes in wars I wouldn't say it's a substantial difference, at least not to the point where it's worth destroying the planet over.
For the record, I'm no proponent of feminist cyborgism. I'm a programmer, I don't know shit. But I find these statements interesting. I held them for a long time and am now doubting their usefulness:

> Their truth and usefulness is really beyond dispute;

That's what I call things that can be picked up by tweezers, concrete issues that have clear and unambigious manifestations that we all - or virtuall all - agree on.

Those are the easy things. It's very comfortable to pick them up and turn them around and analyze them. There is no ambiguity, no pesky fuzziness. I understand why certain personality types gravitate towards it and I belief myself to be such one, but I'd say be careful about proclaiming them the only things worth studying.

Sometimes things are not that clearly demarcated and even in a rigorous field such a abstract mathematics the concept of "usefulness" is not of primary concern. Also sometimes the reality of a thing itself is not obvious and needs to be studied. Sometimes it's not even clear what we are looking at - try reading anything by Heidegger. Philosophy is a field riddles with those kind of studies.

> is that saying anything true or useful? That seems far more open to debate

Throw me a bone here, but is the fact that it's not yet clear if it is true or useful, but cannot be ruled out immediately a signal that there's more to it than we currently know? Again, not saying "biomedical homological technofeministic cyborgism wrt ecosystemical unidirectionalism" (me having fun now) is equivalent to studying the properties of neural networks, but just pointing out that reality is multifaceted and that you cannot just skip entire domains of reality just because you cannot replicate it in, again, perl (or math). It's uncomfortable, it lacks precision, but we have to start somewhere and math ain't cutting it.
To be honest I have experienced this a lot in San Francisco, where people ask first what do you do, second where do you work and then what's your name...in Europe it really isn't the central part of the conversation and most likely the job doesn't even get mentioned in a dinner or a normal conversation with someone you met in a bar/club/wherever. It always shocked me how "what you do" defines the start of the conversation over there.

Same. Only people in my field will know the title (and whether they care or not is another story).

If I keep it to the broad job function that layfolks will understand, the topic usually quickly shifts to the next thing if it doesn't strike a chord with the other party. And that's cool. It's all just small talk jumpoffs until something both clicks for the two people in the convo.
Strong disagree.

I learned multiple languages this way. I think you’re better served by turning off the counter for cards remaining, and studying more often. Otherwise you’re not doing SRS at all.

One can’t remember 2300 Kanji as an aha-moment each.

Drilling all the possible combinations of Hangeul characters for recognition speed is very effective, but most cards won’t be an aha-moment.

One can use premade lists of vocabulary and prioritize vocabulary encountered in study material/real life. You’ll have to learn all the other vocabulary eventually anyway.

Decks with huge amounts of example sentences and audio simulate real conversation and drill listening comprehension and applied grammar.

You may like Platform Engineering even more as there's a lot of crossover with what you mention. A key difference from your list is that you enable teams to build and run their own applications, so they remain responsible throughout. You would provide a simpler way for them to do it, so they could self-serve.
