I think the concept that PP may be trying to get across is scarcity:

"goods are scarce because there are not enough resources to produce all the goods that people want to consume".(quoted at [1])

Physical books are intrinsically scarce because they require physical resources to make and distribute copies. Libraries are often limited by physical shelf space.

Ebooks are not intrinsically scarce because there are enough resources to enable anyone on the internet to download any one of millions of ebooks at close to zero marginal cost, with minimal physical space requirements per book. Archive.org and Z-Library are examples of this.

Consider also free goods:

"Examples of free goods are ideas and works that are reproducible at zero cost, or almost zero cost. For example, if someone invents a new device, many people could copy this invention, with no danger of this "resource" running out."[2]

It doesn't have the capability to be corrected that easily. It's just lying.

If you were actually worried about YouTube stealing your data, why do you keep giving it to them by using their service? Wouldn’t the smart move be to stop visiting?
> Serving video is just expensive, period.

That's part of it, but not the whole story. Network effect is a bigger force.

People publish on YouTube because there's a large viewership, then YouTube gains viewership because people publish there.

Other companies also have big economies of scale on hosting. Amazon, Microsoft and CloudFlare come to mind. Network effect, not cost, is the reason they haven't bothered trying to build competitors to YouTube. If they could guarantee a viewership half or even a quarter as large as YouTube, I'm sure they would have launched one by now.
Do you consider the whole video to be "an ad" when the sponsor is a shoe company and the video is about a graphics card? I don't.

They do make videos where the entire thing is sponsored by the company whose product is the subject of the video. But it's like one or two a month.

And 5-10 seconds to mention merch is annoying sometimes but doesn't really change the nature of the video.
I think there can be some self-selection bias involved in this assessment. Maintenance is something that some people are disinclined to attempt at all: they "consume" their housing, vehicles, furniture etc. instead. In essence what they demand is an IKEA house. The market will meet that demand to the extent that regulation allows it.

As well, each generation of housing stock has a share of survivors that often were invested in more heavily early on, preventing small maintenance issues from developing into bigger ones. Foundation settlement is a common issue, as you point out. But for one example of what can go wrong with a whole generation, the move towards greater insulation ran into a widespread problem of toxic mold in the 2000's, caused by trapped water vapor in the structural materials. Those houses, McMansions among them, were lost, and made their owners sick. Building standards account for this now, but that kind of thing crops up with each change in practices, so I always see the first 5-10 years as a kind of proving ground: if it gets through that without turning into a nightmare it can usually go for many more decades.
The mass shoplifting seems plenty chaotic.

Yeah fast, but also kinda garbage last time I tried it.
Does it even show sources now?
Some registrars have done something called "domain tasting", where they will register a domain when they see interest via their web whois tool. Then they will offer it for a higher price. They were able to register it for five days without paying anything, and then cancel the registration if they didn't manage to sell it.

This has mostly stopped since about 2010 when registrars had to start paying a few cents per transaction. Since the overwhelming majority of those never converted to a sale, it's no longer really economically viable and I don't think it's much of a worry today.
"Anyone" who has disposable income.

I think you're just not the audience. Most Millennials and early Gen Z/Zoomers grew up with YouTube and have long-term connections with tons of creators, communities, and groups of channels to watch it for hours a day if not >20 hours a week. For these users, paying for the privilege to access that content in an a-la-carte way without distractions is immensely valuable. Anecdotally, most of my friend groups pay for it in one way or another (e.g. splitting the cost of the subscription by using Google Families, or using the discounted student plan).

Strong Towns makes a compelling case but until (unless?) suburbs truly start bankrupting in the way they describe, and in a way that hurts residents, I kind of think they are preaching to the choir.

True if you are fiddling with the whole work. No one would expect to find that entertaining immediately after generation - maybe a year out after you forget it.

For now the prompts are deliberate creations of mind but in due time they could be largely auto generated (perhaps even blurred from the user) like feathers in a cap you collect and never have to look at. They will learn how to surprise us to a delightful degree with levers that don't reveal all the magic.

iOS happily kills backswipes with inconsistent alternatives.

eg View details in Photos, and swiping back doesn't work. But there are also no back buttons or visual cues. But there are 3 ways to get out of that screen AFAIK, which some might label intuitive.
But if you go one step deeper and Adjust the photo details, the only exit is a Cancel button.
Seemed fast enough to me, from the one instance I tried (inv.riverside.rocks).
It'd be pretty easy to tell; you could just ask it to generate Discord chats and notice it works. Text models also like to memorize their inputs if they're big enough, so you could probably get specific ones.

>> I can see that you expect Russians to be better people than Germans or Americans

More Germans opposed Nazism than Russians oppose Putinism.

"It has been estimated that during the course of World War II 800,000 Germans were arrested by the Gestapo for resistance activities. It has also been estimated that between 15,000 and 77,000 of the Germans were executed by the Nazis."

Nothing comparable exists in Russia. You like Putin more than Germans liked Hitler.

There's no non-greed-related reason they can't share that profit with their employees, rather than stiffing them just when they need help.

I’ve never really understood picking favorites for music, games, movies, etc. I’ve always found “what’s your favorite <x>?” a hard question to answer. What’s wrong with enjoying things without ranking them? Do other people find ranking somehow increases their enjoyment?

Thanks for the pointer, I will do that.

I followed Bari early on after she left the Times, and I was always intrigued by the examples she brought up of unjust actions taken in the workpace or university in the name of 'wokeness'.

That said, I noticed that some of these examples didn't hold up to scrutiny, at least in my eyes. What I mean is that actions taken in those cases seemed justified to me, even without relying on DEI or 'wokeness'.

A couple of years have passed now, though, so it does seem like I should take a second look.

You might know of Ryuichi Sakamoto from his work with Yellow Magic Orchestra. (Or not, but YMO seems to have more name recognition.)

Big recommend for Keating. She doesn’t have a large catalog, but her albums are fantastic. I wish she was more prolific. (I think she’s doing a lot of composing for TV and film.)
Does anyone still actually have much respect for executive levels of big corporations?

All I ever see is more and more naked greed and talking down to employees as if we are idiots that cannot see through their BS.

Like all of the return to office stuff. We all know it's not about "in-person collaboration", but that's the line they think we're most likely to swallow.
What's needed regardless of copyright or patent terms, is a similar attitude to legal predation as there is to physical stalking and threatening.

i.e. enforce egregious IP violations while criminalizing trolls.
YouTube is the most valuable and worth paying for video content I watch. And I subscribe to several streaming services in addition to YouTube premium. YT is the last one I’d give up. Not kidding.
They're allowed to block ad blockers and people are allowed to circumvent those blocks.
The problem really is the microphones, basically impossible to spot and block.

> Having to move back and forth between two devices is a pain.

I do that a couple times a day. Almost everything that I do with these devices stays in sync through various accounts/cloud in the background. Admittedly I'm just doing this at home, but when I travel, I pretty much always bring my iPad (in addition to the iPhone and my Apple Watch which are on me as long as I'm dressed and awake). I don't have it set this way at the moment, but you can even have any app that you install automatically get added to the other device.

It's very different than a typical laptop/desktop situation since those are harder to sync (depending on what OS/apps/files/etc are involved). However if a lot of what you do is in the cloud, then maybe switching between laptop and desktop is more fluid.
Probably not but looks like this Invidious "doesn't scale".
Google Voice. Without Google Voice it would be near impossible (maybe there are some other good VOIP solutions but not sure).

You definitely do need a phone # for accounts and auths.

YT premium is my only paid streaming and I'd simply stop watching youtube over going back to ads. I watch 2-3hrs of youtube a day and I'm glad that creators feel that YT premium revenue is a good source of revenue for them. Not their biggest, but a reasonable chunk.

No, I am not saying that. Since PaLM 2 is a transformer model (they didn't disclose almost anything about the model architecture, but they did disclose that), it has a context length limit. What I am saying is that you can't infer that limit from the limit of maxOutputTokens parameter in the API.
Your use of the service is governed by the terms[0], which say "You are not allowed to:... alter, modify or otherwise use any part of the Service or any Content...". Even if you've never signed up for a Google account, it's implicit that YouTube doesn't actually serve anything for free, every video view and page load is a transaction for "youtube serves me content and I pay for it by having screen real estate taken up by ads". They do not have to serve the content if they think you aren't upholding your end of the bargain, which is this ad blocker block.

>YouTube Premium fails because the content isn't worth paying for.

I beg to differ. As a hobbyist type, and also someone interested in semi trashy niche content (true crime), having access to a virtually unlimited catalogue of fresh content, a lot of it exceptionally good quality, makes it absolutely worth the money.

If I could have any one subscription, it would be YouTube 10 times out of 10. And as someone who abhors advertising, I'm happy to pay.
I hate ads, but I'm largely ok with sponsor reads. They are by far the least evil and least annoying.

They are not targeted (everybody watching the video sees the same ad... for now). They don't invade my privacy. They are usually fairly short. They're usually somewhat relevant to the creator, and therefore my interests. Of course, it depends on the creator. Some have more integrity, others less.

If between Youtube Premium, Patreon, and sponsored segments or episodes creators can make a living, that sounds great to me. Better than TV, radio, or the increasingly expensive and ad-ified streaming services. I'll take it.

Ask HN: Could recent AI be used to generate an operating system?
Wondering if there are folks trying to generate “usage-experiences” for, for example, the use of an OS? The idea being a combo of AI based (large scale) code-completion/generation or user-experience completion/generation.

This would be an AI trained on a combo of code, usage narratives, images and video. For example, the base OS code may not have a calculator app but having been trained on a recent windows version (its code, maybe some screen recordings of someone using calculator etc.), it could ‘generate a calculator interface’ (as could a a DALL-E-like product) and some code (using something like copilot) to respond with relevant images upon interaction with the image.
And thus YouTube is experimenting with an ad-blocker detection mechanism.
My impression was that Hayes Valley was like 100% young tech people (except for the people trying to sell you weird newspapers). Is it not?
The difference is 5 mmHG which idk if medically significant.
Kinda leans into the point of the post, I think. Vai, Satriani, and Eric Johnson are still working today, but they peaked popularity wise in the late 80s / early 90s.

Not sure Satriani ever topped “Surfing With The Alien.”
What does Vercel do? It takes the engineer's code and puts it on Lambdas and CDNs! Why can't the engineers take the code and put it there themselves? Look I already told you! What the hell is wrong with you people?! They don't have deployment skills! Vercel has deployment skills!

We expect it because it’s better for how people actually use phones. Not having to worry about getting rained on, for example, is pretty awesome for anyone who doesn’t live in a desert.

The dust part is more of a concern because that’s a lot harder to avoid than rain. For example, most people put phones in pockets or bags which not infrequently collect dust. A regression on that is bad for an ultra-premium device which needs a solid market to fund further R&D.
I'm a heavy YouTube user (by my own standards... 2-3 hours a day) and a happy premium subscriber, and I totally agree that sponsorblock is a must-have.
OpenAI does not need people defending their scummy pivot.
hard to make that call to strike when there are many recently unemployed tech workers looking for work. sure you might get what you want or you might get fired and replaced by someone willing to work for lower compensation
I feel the trend to bigger phones is probably indicative of phones being the sole computing device for more and more people. Anecdotal, but one example is my parents. I've watched them go from having desktops to laptops to iPads while they kept getting the biggest iPhone available. Now, their phones are pretty much all they use (outside of a smart TV and an Amazon Echo).
Google’s first foldable. Brilliant in every way.

Wow, it's hard to believe how lame their marketing is. Prompted?

I saw the first episode.

This skips around, and misses major aspects that are barely mentioned.

The compliment system has it's own video in the Kurzgesagt series, although it misses a major aspect in a "membrane attack complex" in the participation of an antibody.

This first entry in the series that you've posted focuses on the innate immune system, but barely mentions compliment, and doesn't mention C-3 or a membrane attack complex. Dendritic cells are also left out, but they may be in another episode.

I'll watch the rest of the series, but I think that Kurzgesagt has more focus.
Even if I paid for YT premium, the money wouldn't go to the YT creator people I support.

It's really that simple. I can no longer trust PayPal, and Patreon doesn't accept my local credit card so that goes down the drain too.

They already harvest my data. I refuse to pay them money to exploit me further.
There's no impediment from the traditional racial or class elements in the USA. That's a major headwind absent.
That is a very short time in the domain world, and also approaching the half-life of Google's attention span.
At least TVs are cheap enough it's not terribly painful, but if it appears to be happening again some Lexan might be in my future.

Vercel and Netlify are fantastic options for those exact class of projects. Render as well for the more full stack hack projects.
I don't want to pay YouTube

I'm happy subscribing to creators' patreons or Kofi or whatever because almost all of my money goes to them.

Whereas on YouTube, most of my money or ad-generated money goes to Google. YouTube pays creators very little and treats them very poorly. There's a new adpocalypse every few months where YouTube will randomly change the rules, retroactively demonetize and delist videos, while offering no chance to appeal or even have videos reviewed by a person.

Without even considering Google's generally evil and monopolistic behavior, why would I ever willingly give them money?

YouTube's shitty treatment of creators is why every video now has a sponsored segment in the middle. They aren't paying enough and creators need additional income sources. YouTube can decide at any moment without notice to nuke your entire business and give you no option to recover. They keep shittifying the website with shorts and aggressive ads and dark patterns to drive up ad exposure, but this doesn't translate to higher pay for creators. In no circumstance is giving google more money going to fix any of the problems.

All a YouTube plus subscription gets you is YouTube will turn off the ads and dark patterns designed to force you to pay for the subscription. As well, I have exactly zero faith that YouTube won't also start showing subscribed users ads in a year or two.
For long names I'd suggest the [a-z][0-9][a-z].tld abbreviated form. Those three char domains with a digit tend to be readily available, don't command premium pricing, and are very convenient when you need to type an address in or verbally tell someone how to contact you.
You sound like you don't subscribe to youtube premium.
Awww... this was my go-to since the 90s. I loved the simplicity of the place. Great nostalgia.

To be fair, I haven't use it much over the past decade or so mostly because the nature of my work has changed and the info has become increasingly useless over time.... but just a couple of weeks ago I gave it a go just to see if it was still around. I guess that test didn't age well.
Understandably, people don’t like it when people take the goodwill of an established term and use it to fulfill their directly opposing goals.
umm, plumbing and electrical trades. They are like having a license to print money.
I also like how this was born in Italy, just getting stuff done for work, far from the crazy world of SV, yet it generalized to the needs of fast startups, and now it is a standard piece of infra. Too good to ignore springs to mind.
