Ironically, Google is one of the best hardware suppliers for de-Googled phones. The old Pixels are notoriously well-supported by alternative ROMs, and run the most well-hardened Android distributions on the planet. If you want a CalyxOS or GrapheneOS device, Google is practically your only option.

This doesn't seem like a sound argument to me. Applied more generally, it quickly turns a bunch of statistics into nonsense.

E.g. the same argument could be made about COVID deaths themselves. They didn't die because of COVID, they died because they were obese, or smokers, or diabetic, or old, etc. Hell, you could argue that nobody died of COVID at all. They all died from failing to properly isolate themselves. Exposure to other people is causally related to getting COVID.

People don't die from heart attacks, they die from poor diet and exercise. People don't die of cancer, they die from eating red meat or not taking enough D3 or whatever. People don't die of gunshots, they die from poverty and poor mental health.

The cold is the proximate cause of death here. They have a risk factor from COVID (or diabetes, or age, or any of the other crapload of comorbidities related to hypothermia), which made them vulnerable to dying from the cold. They might have survived if they hadn't had COVID, but they also might have survived if they were younger, or in better shape, or didn't have a different health condition.
Either the competitor has no ads and doesn't charge money, at which point it would bleed money, or it charges a fee, and hence would be even less successful than youtube.
> Does YT detect that the ad wasn't played and therefore doesn't pay out for that view to the creator?

Yes. Watching with an ad blocker will not yield any revenue for the creator, unless you are logged in an account with YouTube Premium.
They really deserve more success. They've always been top-tier but have never been able to carry the same selection as the big boys.
I love the comment with the ruby implementation, which became the official ruby lib I am still using today!
I did a quick comparison at 1x and 10x in photoshop, using guides to compare the geometry: https://imgur.com/a/jWjtmtZ

The top of the "Y", at least optically, doesn't seem to extend as far in the PNG, and the intersection of the top legs seems to start higher in the SVG - it looks much higher in the 1x, IMO. I'm sure part of this is just the challenge/inherent mismatch of using a vector to "match" a lossy-compressed raster depiction of text.

That said I did this for fun and I don't imagine it will ever bother me - the sharpness is nice! Thank you!
+1 on this. YT premium is easily worth 4x its price, it's an amazing deal. It's the largest media catalog in the world, and unlimited ad-free access for $12 is a steal. There is no digital subscription that comes close in value.
I don't have a strong feedback loop here, but I generally figure that if I make it public then search engines (or now LLMs) will give it to people who want it.
People will make all sort of excuses to rationalize not paying for digital content that they can easily get for free.
Yeah…this one makes a lot of sense. I don’t know about y’all but my visits to Stack Overflow have probably gone to about 1/10 of what they were before ChatGPT.

Interesting. I assume they have a plan, but I have no idea why anyone would want to use uber for booking air travel - uber's customer service is horrible, their business model is basically denying people any kind of recourse. That might be tolerable with cab rides or food delivery, but can't be very attractive for air travel. Unless UK carriers are already so bad that it doesn't matter? I can't see why anyone would choose to book through them.

You may actually be decreasing the knowledge of the world.

It's not difficult to imagine a future where people do not know how to effectively communicate, and instead rely on ChatGPT (or whatever) to communicate for them. Or a future where nobody knows anything, and instead blindly trusts the output of AI models.

> I'd love to purchase a handful of Ox64s from Pine64, alas still no way to do that from the EU without inflating the price to 3x-5x after shipping and taxes.

I'm not sure how you figure that.

The site will unfortunately only allow you to add 10 Ox64 to your cart. That's $80 for the one with bigger flash. Adding my New Zealand address, "Standard Shipping Method" is $11.99. WIth such a small shipment there won't be NZ tax, but assuming for some reason it did get added, that would be 15% of the total including shipping, so $13.80, making a total of $105.80. That is 1.32x the advertised price.

I get the same shipping price when I enter Germany as my address. I understand you have higher taxes there, but surely not THAT much higher?
I agree. As an expat yank I've seen both sides. I was raised in a gun heavy household and had a loaded Sig P229 and MAK-90 in my bedroom at 18.

Moving to Australia and realising I didn't like to live life with 'my head on a swivel' was quite a revelation. And the laws around proportional use of force down here are a refreshing change to the 'shoot the person and drag them in your house to claim self defense' American mentality. You'd end up being charged with murder doing that here, and rightfully so imho.
If your manager is giving that feedback in /private/ and depending on how he is delivering it.. it might be OK.

If he is doing it in public, then that's not OK.

You shouldn't keep your mistakes to yourself, no. In fact go as loud as possible about them, and what you learned from them. Make a google doc and share so others don't do the same.
I work in adtech, we're getting into eye tracking for verifying ad viewership on smart TVs. So.. yeah.
Isn't it Youtube's problem to make their business profitable? It's not a binary - they could offer a different deal with Premium, market it differently. Customers aren't rational - just like humans. They are a massive multinational - if anyone can figure it out, it's them.

Maybe the ad model doesn't work, and people are not clear on what they are actually paying for, since it's effortless to get the same service for free.

Edit: And I'm suprised few people are mentionning how much information youtube gets about you from using the site, and using youtube premium makes being anonymous impossible. Having a way to remaing somewhat anonymous would make me consider premium, but it's a not go for me at this time

> Thunderbird is a fantastic email client,

Yes, but for me it's more than a client. It's what the "cloud" future should look like everywhere.

If someone provided replicated imap stores, or even better Thunderbird supported replicating the imap store to a one or more encrypted backups, it would be heaven. Access is fast because it's cached locally, but available everywhere and safe from things like "Google locks you out of your account" because it's the cloud.

Thunderbird could do it now with email, calendar and notes. If we could extend that to a password store (like bitwarden), and document store (like Google docs), and a file store (like dropbox), we would be there in the open source world. It's a dream of mine.
> if there's a virus circulating that turns lungs into swiss cheese

Oh come off it, it wasn't doing that anymore last year. Almost 100% of the population had been vaccinated, recovered from infection, or most likely both in 2022 so for most it wasn't even as bad as a flu.
It's incredible how many people go "I was almost ready to give them money" whilst using Youtube all the time with an ad blocker. I know it, I was one of them for years.

Just buy the subscription. You get the free trial for a month. Nothing changes, the money is not missed, but you actually pay for something you use a lot.

The biggest benefit is not being subjected to ads anymore just by being next to family members who don't use ad blockers. It comes with four slots for family members.
Seriously, lol. Just pay the 25 dollars or enable the ads. Walk away when there’s an ad or switch tabs
I don't like the use of the word "democratize" in this context, there's no secret authority of programmers preventing people from learning. You need only a computer, which is practically a commodity in first world countries; the users really have all the power and resources they could ever possibly need. I don't see how it could get more democratic at all.

The reason people can't code isn't because an external force is preventing them, it's because they aren't putting the work in.

I don't know how to paint, is the solution to "democratize" painting by waiting until an AI can do it for me?
Absolutely, and I'm glad you linked them! Cool to read about applications of ML in healthcare.
Lol. This clearly shows it's made by Samsung/Android manufacturer. They just don't understand why people use iOS.

After scanning the code this happens:

1) Hey! Please copy this page URL and open it in Safari!

I open it in safari

2) Hey! Please add this to your home screen!

sigh...I add it to home screen and open it

3) Now I'm greeted with mandatory 5-10 seconds long UI tutorial

4) Finally I can start using it

This is exactly why I use iOS despite Apple being asshole company. After I scan the code I want end result IMMEDIATELY. No bullshit. I don't wanna press 20 buttons and change browsers, add stuff to homescreen etc.

Next time open it right away in whatever browser I choose to use and then add additional option: "Hey! Wanna get a full screen experience? Add this to your iOS homescreen in Safari and try out. Click here to start!"

> Apple already has the inherent right to control what and when they want to publicly reveal

Why? This isn't PII, and the only one thing hurt by leaking it is Tim Cook's fragile ego.
If I didn't have to tie my identity to my browsing/watching history (through credit card) then I would pay... but I guess that would imply them supporting alternative payment methods and also them not being able to sell this data (i.e. the subscription would be more expensive).

Unlikely to happen, so I will keep ad-blocking or eventually stop watching if they make ad-blocking too difficult (happened with Twitch for me)

Sure you're helping people. The ai gets trained and thens tells people the stuff you learned

As far as the blog is self advertising for your resume or company, it's just as good since you're linking it directly. Maybe even better since the ai will have opinions about you
Last I heard, it was in the 10-50x range per view (premium vs. ad supported).

I watch enough YouTube for it to be a no-brainer for me, and I run an ad-blocker pretty much everywhere. Supporting the video creators I watch is worth it.
Yes, I would happily pay more for the ability to remove shorts.

Yes indeed - not having to re-run expensive calculations is one of the major appeals of the notebooks.
But still, I believe it should be done reasonably often - at least once, before committing for example (if you're using tools like jupytext to convert notebooks to .py)
I had an issue with my payment for premium which resulted in temporary suspension of my service. A few days after fixing the payment issue, this news came out.

Considering this with the recent price increase, and some trouble with my family plan, my initial reaction was quite negative towards YouTube. They are setting a very clear trend against what I want in their service with recent changes (Removing downvote, removing android shortcuts and other features, aggressive copyright stiking policies, aggressive promotion of shorts, terrible recommendations).

I am considering cancelling. However, a more optimistic view would be that their ad block policy could result in lower subscription fees with more ad and subscription revenue.
I got my first programming job in 1979, at 19. Until I got to my 30s I mostly worked with people my age or older. I never had any trouble finding work and only ran into what I perceived as age discrimination when interviewing with teams of people a decade or younger than me.

It never bothered me to work with younger people, I can keep up, and experience still counts in most companies. I worked in Silicon Valley for a while, found my age counting against me there, but age didn’t seem to matter much outside of the SV environment.

As a freelancer my age never comes up, I don’t have to interview and sometimes I never even meet my customer in person.

Age discrimination does happen. On the other hand I’m not sure I would fit in to a team of people half my age. It also happens that people get older and set in their ways, resisting change and sticking to what worked in the past, and that trait will limit opportunities just as much as gray hair.
It's unbelievable given than broadcast TV was still completely dominant less than ten years ago and they spend about 25% of their air time on ads. Try watching an NFL game and imagine if YouTube tried to do what they do.
I'd be ok woth paying for their service, as we use youtube a lot. But youtube forces you to create a google account and stay logged in. This way they can easily track almost everything you do on the web, and I'm definitely not ok with paying for being tracked.
If this was a youtube-only account (as it was in the past) then I'll immediately start paying for their service.
I have a note 10+ and the stylus is a game changer, I would like a wider screen for taking notes but can't justify the cost. Also my note is nearly 4 years old and showing no sign of slowing down or battery issues.

Pretty much yeah. Like the web, filtering happens on the read side, not the write side. This:

- Dodges any free-speech issues

- Gives individuals more choice and control over what they see

- Allows labellers to not worry as much about false-positives because their impact is limited by the above, which means they can use more automation, etc.

The kind of speech that is limited would be things like publishing malware, or doing illegal advertisement. No advertisement to kids, no alcohol, no tobacco, no prescription medicine, no guns, and no fraudulent messages.

Taxes is also pretty much defined by the expectation of compensation. If a speaker talks on a conferences and get paid to do so, they will need to pay taxes. They have as much open free speech they can get, but they are not free to demand compensation for it without paying taxes.

With a blog post - you get feedback via comments. With SO, you get feedback via votes and comments. With HN, you get feedback the same way.

We have feedback on all of these systems so that humans can more readily discern correctness. An AI model is not going to be able to readily understand what solution is correct, lest it wouldn't need to crawl the page in the first place.
Consider that you may be overestimating some things and underestimating others there.
It is YouTube's problem to make their business profitable. And hence they will make efforts like what the article says. If things don't work they might require login and enforce ads somehow (YouTube will survive that I think, even if there is some viewership drop). There is no magic wand here that they can figure out (look at competing video services like Vimeo for an example). In the long run in 20 years if YouTube is deemed unprofitable as a whole for the company, it might even be shut down, and nobody might be willing to host another YouTube like service as is without significant changes to monetisation.
I have and it did not seem to help at all.

I guess there could be multiple things going on then, one is irrationality (like what you mentioned) and the other is self-centered behavior. I am guessing it could also result from loneliness or not having good relationships with people.

Nobody disputes that they have a troubled mind and are feeling various forms of depression or pain, but that doesn’t necessitate ending their life.

Just more broadly speaking, any animal that opts to kill itself has a severe mental issue. It just doesn’t make sense from an evolutionary psychology point of view. The priority should be in seeking treatment. But I don’t expect irrational/self-centered/depressed people to all reach this conclusion.

Edit: I also personally have had a very troubled mind from time to time. I was diagnosed with bipolar in 2009, but went off meds on my own will a couple years after (not sure whether it was an accurate diagnosis). I now am happily married and expecting our first child. But I can relate a bit to these sorts of feelings.

In the end your mind is just your mind, thoughts are just in your head, and you can have a happier life once you realize this. You don’t have to identify with what goes on in your head. It’s like a radio channel that won’t turn off but you don’t have to give too much importance to negativity.

> it was vain hope that the cooperation and "playing nice"

yes especially given that the US torpedoed any chance of really nicely getting along with Russia when we go far enough back to a point where Russia could have gone in a different direction

but there where many many clear indications that any such chance had passed since many years ago to a point where it was clear that going forward with the "playing nice" path would not work

Through I guess part of the reason they tried anyway is because while the US is for the EU the most close aligned super power, there are still many differences. At the same time a major US <-> China conflict is on the horizon since decades and the EU is not and likely never will be in a position to go to war with China. Also in some few point the EU is closer to China then the US in their views. To cut it short AFIK an escalation of an US China conflict has a non small risk of the EU being torn up between the fronts (more economically then military), but a EU with strong ties to Russia would be string enough to not fully enter the conflict and in turn might come out more powerful then both the US or China
> You neither need nor are owed such a thing

This is a catchy trope designed to shut people down. I've seen it a handful of times in these types of conversations.

The statement itself is riddled with irony if you consider it. The statement is meant to criticize a sense of entitlement. The rub is that the person saying it believes (or is unwittingly misrepresenting themself) that they're entitled to speak authoritatively into someone elses life about what they "need" or are "owed".
This is a fair point. I too would appreciate some way to have an isolated YouTube account.
Peer to peer and microtransactions might work. So some people with computers can keep one tab open and earn some crypto cents.

I'm not sure if it's possible to build P2P network with zero trust that could work like that.

One issue could be that participating person might technically be involved with distribution of forbidden content like child porn or disney cartoon. So even if they didn't know that and everything was encrypted, they might still be accountable for it, especially because they made money doing it.
> If everything is known to the great Court

The great court isn't even made up of actual judges, by the way.

In Brazil, actual judges are selected by rigorous testing of law knowledge in a process known as concurso which roughly means contest. It's extremely competitive, applicants tend to be disciplined people who study many hours every day. People generally don't make it to a judge position without knowing their shit.

Supreme court judges aren't like that. They're just people appointed by politicians. The censorship-friendly judge who's ordering words into Telegram's mouth? He used to be the lawyer of one of Brazil's biggest drug trafficking gangs, PCC. Incidentally, that criminal organization supported the current president in last year's elections and was involved in a plot to torture and assassinate the judge who imprisoned him for corruption earlier this year. Supreme court ordered most of them released while many Brasília protesters are locked up to this day. It's surreal.
Almost all of my feedback today is via comments immediately after I post something, but I suspect more of the readers are people who come in via search. That's not that different from a future in which the searchers are intermediated by an LLM.

Hello HN,

Here is a thing i have been working on for sometime(more than I like to admit).
Its a platform for running apps. Think this as a programmable engine that can be molded to different thing. Here is a video[0] of some stupid example apps on it to showcase some features. Its still early but you can grab binaries from github and try, but there be dragons.
give it a try let tell me why its stupid.

best of luck
