No, if you really think about it, that’s not remotely true here. A creator — myself included — is paid by Google for their content, which Google uses to attract the eyeballs that the advertisers are paying them to serve ads to… the creator doesn’t actually have any interest (financial or otherwise) in whether or not those ads are actually being watched (as opposed to being served). Since virtually all creators rely on non-Google-served advertising income streams (PayPal, merch, sponsorships, etc) for their real income, and invasive ads merely impede that, anything that Google does to drive people to ad blockers really just hurts creators. No stealing is occurring.
How does this work for users that are not using a desktop OS/browser? Is there a mobile app that does this and holds the content for local viewing?
I like your view.
From my limited knowledge, I speculate that if AI was developed further, and given as much publicly available data across a variety of scholarly topics as reasonably possible, it could potentially use statistics and such to help us find correlations across many different fields that a human would never think of. Whether it would revolutionize analytics or not I don't know as I am not qualified to say, but it's fun to dream of positive change these tools could bring.

That sounds pretty bleak, honestly. While you can disagree with Youtube and its policies, the idea of open free speech should appear, at first blush, more important than strict protections against libel or hate speech.
Gosh I hope Youtube doesn't shoot it's unicorn in the face. With the number of adds that the youtubers themselves sell, it's just a bit too much. I'd be happy for this if I knew it wasn't going to just be google raking in all the money to themselves but instead had some form of payment partnership with the creators that was fair and equitable.

All I see happening here is more adds overall.
The part that the author conveniently doesn't go into is income, other than mentioning that people sitting in companies are stuck there because they need the income.

Well, this very concept applies to you too, dear solo captain. Nobody is going to pay you any money for your podcast search app that you prompted together in record time.

As you get better at this, sure enough you might create something tangible and substantial that otherwise would have taken a small team or take 10 times as long.

But guess what? These super powers aren't exclusive. Anybody will be able to do it. So the execution becomes irrelevant and value is based on the idea being unique, and even if that, it will be instantly copied.

Even an idea being unique doesn't have to translate in success. We don't exactly have a shortage of software or content, we're already drowning in it and can't even keep up with tools. How would you be even be noticed in an abundance of ideas?
They're hoping to sell to you based on the value it provides rather than the cost to produce the thing.

Classic sales reframing tactic for obscene 500%+ margin products: You should buy this thing far above market rate because it's worth a lot to you, not because it's priced at a realistic BOM + labor + reasonable profit margin.
The flip side s that you don't have to use Chrome+Google for everything. I buy ebooks and watch youtube on it, plus my phone (so I buy android apps via the same google account). And Gmail is my fallback email account so that doesn't see much traffic.

I use 3-4 browsers and because WFH + VM's for coding some incidental sandboxing.
Exactly. They are benefiting from a system built on generations of honesty of people before them.

Everything becomes more expensive and dangerous when there isn't basic trust. You have to verify, surveil, and credential everything.

Old people get scammed not because they are dumb, but because they grew up in a society insulated from dishonesty.
In the end, your arguments in this thread always come back to “well, they did it too” or “they deserved it”.

I agree completely and I've said that here on HN many times even despite downvotes. The censorship here began with last year's elections and has only been ramping up since then. The government wants what it wants and it will corrupt, destroy or silence anyone who opposes them. We're living under some sort of quasi-communist judiciary dictatorship. It sickens me to my soul to hear the word "democracy" come out of these people's mouths. Even North Korea calls itself a democracy...

> the court can just ban all the others for misinformation and give power to the party they agree with

That's exactly what they're doing. They've removed from office and made ineligible politicians over "disinformation". They accuse their opponents of the crime of "fake news" and then deplatform them. These all powerful judges who never received a single vote and are aligned with the ruling party.

The Y shape is visibly different to me, even at 18 px. In the new version, the "leg" is longer and the "arms" shorter and at a more obtuse angle to each other. Compare vs. the favicon: https://news.ycombinator.com/favicon.ico

Manually tracing the favicon in Inkscape (and correcting what I believe to be an unintentional asymmetry) gives me this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35894797

The vote buttons look great. I noticed-but-didn't-notice after seeing this post.

EDIT: vs. the favicon, on my screen, the new version is "bolder" as well.
I don't want a crease in my screen, which I've seen on every single one of these used for any length of time.
Upvote/downvote buttons were converted to SVG recently too?

I can only imagine that struggling daily, the burden feels overwhelming. We're an evolved, tuned and balanced creature and out-of-kilter can be tough to regain composure. Especially when alcoholism is in the mix, people in this situation can become somewhat distanced from family (and children) and feel they are a risk/weight? It is a rough combination, and it's unlikely to be abrupt but something that builds over years. An in-law took her life late last year, leaving her young children behind with her estranged partner and family. In the years prior, it felt very difficult to support or address a combination of alcohol and depression.
Oh, bravo! Hacker News now has its very own shiny favicon. How avant-garde! Who knew we were so desperate to keep up with the Kardashians of the digital world? But hey, it's just a favicon, right? Nothing to get all hot and bothered about. Except that it's not just about the favicon, it's about the principle of the thing!

Remember when Hacker News was the final fortress of the internet where content was king, and design was as minimalistic as the wardrobe of a monastic hermit? A place where intellectuals could congregate without being assaulted by the visual diarrhea that characterizes every other website on the planet. Those were the days when it was the text that mattered, not the tiny, shiny icons. But alas, those days are as dead as dial-up!

Once you start prioritizing style over substance, it's a downhill race on a greased slide. Today, it's just an innocuous favicon. But who's to say tomorrow we won't be suffering through animated logos, retina-burning background images, and God knows what other visual atrocities? Before we know it, we'll be swimming in a sea of unnecessary UI elements, auto-playing videos that nobody asked for, and a homepage that's more ad than actual content.

And they say progress is a good thing...

It's not news that not seeing faces impedes face skills learning... I'd have guessed it anyways.

It's just not at all the same scale of cognitive damage. On one hand (covid) you get quite a brain substance loss (aka premature brain aging), on the other hand a skill is defavored (faces) which the brain is always happy to compensate with skills about other stuff.

So yeah, in a population that is leaning to believe that covid vaccines have 5G chips in it... you have to select the most important bits of science to know for the emergency, and spend all the time and energy in pedagogy on that. Not really worth to do this kind of effusive pedagogy about why not seeing faces impedes becoming good at faces.
The title undersells the magnitude of the change a bit in my opinion. By default, mastodon now encourages new users to sign-up on https://mastodon.social which has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the fediverse.

Personally, I'm largely ambivalent to the change; I understand the reasoning, and it's what https://element.io has been doing for https://matrix.org since the beginning. It is more than a bit of a sea-change though given the fediverse's prevailing culture.
Yes, OK I agree, that is pretty bad. That’s about 1400 users per day per server using napkin maths. Definitely not the kind of scale I would have expected.

But is this the only possible implementation? I suppose for the OP to have a reasonable point (that it’s “a crock of shit”), this would need to be an intractable problem.

It’s usually a non issue for most normal use cases. Some exceptions are truly maddening though, if you have good reason to use them. One off the top of my head that personally peeved me enough to ragequit one of my side projects: you cannot, as far as I’m aware, define an interface and assign its type to a class (neither its static constructor nor its instance members), without redeclaring every single member type in JSDoc. You can’t (again as far as I’m aware) even define types adjacent to their project-local implementation module and treat them the same way as @types/typeRoots. Both of these would be solvable if you could <reference …/> without polluting global scope, but again that’s a behavior only (again as far as I’m aware) available to dependencies.

I’d be thrilled to make the concession to a TypeScript flavor of header/implementation file pairs and skip a build step for huge portions of my work. But I spent way too long trying to figure out how to do it and my only remaining hope that it’s even possible is to wait for the “you don’t know?!” replies. (If it’s not clear here, they’d be very very welcome!)

That sounds nice, but I want the same foldable form factor for entirely opposite reasons.

> In our current world of SSH and HTTPS, it seems less likely the new generation will have the same experience.

Pushing encryption into the transport layer a la QUIC could solve this, if not for the spurious dependency on user-hostile TLS instead of a simpler PKI. SSH would become telnet over a QUIC stream, which could be used with a QUIC-enabled netcat (say). HTTP/3 could have been either 1.1 or 2, just over QUIC, but this wasn't pursued.

Jenkins is still inherently more full-featured than anything that just runs random docker images and commands. Any replacement would need to do the hard work of actually integrating with a bunch of different language build tools in a deep way, and so far no-one's stepped up.

The thing that always confuses me about "learn AI" in reference to Chat-GPT is... What exactly is there to learn? It's a web terminal that you type queries into and it returns results. Learning how to coerce it into giving you what you want is certainly an art, but no more esoteric an art than using Google to correctly return a useful result to your query - it's a lot of trial/error and simple logic about how to get it to respond with something useful.

In the case where people think that they either already are or can rapidly become experts in NLP, language modeling, or other topics related to Machine Learning... Well that's just the Dunning-Kreuger effect on full display. While you may be able to develop rudimentary tools based on machine learning w.r.t. NLP, none of these lifetime React devs with "interest in the AI space" are doing anything close to that, or if they are, it falls amazingly short of a project like OpenAI's. At this point, AI is the new "data science" of 2023, a handy buzzword for laypeople to invoke when they want to gesture towards "high tech", and one that's frequently divorced from an advanced technical understanding about how training/using a service like ChatGPT works.

As a closing anecdote, a friend of mine (would be startup founder) recently showed me her business plan for a "AI powered music generation service" where users could use a ChatGPT like interface to compel the computer to give them a "lofi beat to relax and study to" or an "upbeat electronic track for a space exploration video game stream" for YouTube videos or producing other forms of license-free music. When I started digging into how this was going to be done, the furthest we got is:

> "You need to train a neural network on a tagged and curated list of music samples, and develop instruments to allow for additional human training/tagging and re-processing, in addition to developing a suite of MIDI -> audio tools (essentially a headless/distributed DAW) to actually produce music. "
