The law is irrelevant compared to the bigger picture. If courts can force people/organizations to not advocate against laws, what is the point of elections and democracy. Why not just have a King? If everything is known to the great Court, why put up with the charade of democracy, since the new President might be full of "disinformation".
I'm working on a paper to show that you can 'simulate' a heap in linear time.

What I mean is: in the comparison model, assume start with an empty heap, a sequence of instructions like "insert element x" and "remove minimum element" of length n.

There's an algorithm that can tell you in O(n) time, which items are still left in the heap at the end (and thus also which items have been removed at some point in time).

The algorithm can't tell you exactly _when_ items have been removed, because that would be equivalent to sorting, and you need at least O(n log n) to sort in the comparison model.

I've worked on this problem on and off for about a decade now as a little hobby project. I would have been happy to prove it impossible or to find a solution. Interestingly, it is possible and the solution is relatively simple, too.

(I have no clue whether this is useful for anything. In practice you probably just run the obvious O(n log n) algorithm which probably has much better constant factors. I'm doing this purely for the theory.)

The data structure / algorithm I found is expressible in a purely functional setting, and (spoiler alert) builds on top of Chazelle's Soft Heap.
What router are you using? One in the svelte ecosystem or a vanilla js router?

Also in the process of writing an app that has no ssr needs. There are some minor annoyances with SvelteKit and interested in other options.
Eradicate malware injection through java script and google ads, and I will consider it.

Also, if it's not individually personalized, and uncensored. You know; How YouTube used to be in the early 2000s.

Give me what I want, don't collect my stuff, don't try to mess with me, and allow me to remain anonymous, and I would be willing to pay for it –anonymously, of course.
>> The only thing that's clear is that absolutely nobody on earth is going to be able to predict it with any degree of accuracy. You'd have to know too much.

So it is with any technological innovation. Should computers not have been invented because they eliminated jobs? Should steel? What about agriculture? The future is sure to be different, but that doesn't mean we should fight to deny progress. That way lies the Luddite and Conservative. It's only possible to use new tools for good, not try to erase them to prevent evil.
They are still stuck in the mindset of “this is our proprietary secret and we can’t let others catch up.” That mindset is just one of the reasons their company is stagnating.
My dream combo is a small iPhone with best camera and an updated iPhone mini. I’d still rather have those but that prices out similarly… so I get it.

I think the shift we have seen is from high status/upper classes suddenly taking an interest in CS.

I don't think it's particularly wise to browse the internet without an ad blocker anymore.

If a site decides to go so far as to actively prevent you from using it without an adblocker, I consider that to be a pretty bad sign.

Fortunately almost no one does that.
This is beautiful, but is there a decent way to plow through say, 20TB of text and put that into a vector database (encoder only)?
It would be quite a great addition, especially if the vectors could then be translated into other forms (different language, json representation, pull out names/NER, etc) by just applying a decoder to the database.
It works in any case where the thing you're trying to prevent probably just isn't there.
Ah, I'm talking about emissions intensity of production for an economy. Not the emission cost to manufacture vs run an EV.

people are paying for the content with patreon, bypassing YouTube entirely. Why cant YouTube figure out how to get that money people are clearly willing to part with?

Why blame the users for YouTube failure?
You should leave Amazon.
What if they charged based on use up to $15 per month?

That would be a lot more tempting.
it's honestly terrible. ask it "write 10 sentences that end in the word apple" and watch it flail.
The 200,000 figure isn't super meaningful unless they report average folds to failure and standard deviation.

From that article, it could be that they test to 200,000 folds because at that point 99.6% have failed, and the 50% failure rate might be at 100,000. Or 20,000. Or 190,000.

I don't think they're saying that 100% of phones will last to 200,000 folds. That would be a bold claim indeed.
What have they been wrong about?
If you've been "poised to give them money for a while" I don't think you were ever actually going to. What was stopping you?
Is this all because it uses the hash symbol? I mean, you could probably call anything a "comment that affects code" if we want to get abstract. Attributes are in a bunch of languages, but they aren't comments. Comparing them to comments just feels like you're ignoring the fact that they are code that affects runtime.

It's the opposite. Credentials and testing are a substitute for trust since people will lie about experience and competence.
I have YT premium and it is easily the best money I spend most months. I'll just play devil's advocate. Maybe people are imagining a pay per view type of experience?
Patreon is also Pay-what-you-want, so whales can subsidize lower tiers, and folks can often pay less than $15 per month.
I'd argue that organizations (whether corporation, government, or otherwise) are by definition superhuman. What economic incentive would there be to form companies if an individual could do it all better? Clearly, people working in concert are more effective than those working alone.
Studio Bot: coding companion for Android development
I don't disagree, but there are many elderly people with an irrational relationship with money in their later years. A friend talks about his 80+ year old neighbour with money in the bank and literally no family at all to leave an estate with. They fret over tiny financial decisions every day that would otherwise bring them comfort or purpose.

I remember my grandfather in his 80-90s not using the air-conditioning during heatwaves to save money. The price of power wouldn't have been a serious factor in his mind, just that it cost anything at all.

I assume decades of frugal behaviour makes for extreme conditioning that is hard to undo.
Yeah, and in general nice features cost IOPS. Not that it matters all that much on modern hardware, unless you're really trying to get all there is out of it

I think what the article is trying to say is more affordable/modest new construction is needed to improve current housing issues in many areas. Cheaply built giants, made to maximize contractor profits, only serve a small income demographic at the end of the day.
> So no, I don't really agree that YouTube has a monopoly. Too many alternatives that kick ass!

None of those are YouTube alternatives. They are not even remotely similar. You haven't got a clue what YouTube is about.

Here's a list of YouTube alternatives:

* Rumble

* Odysee

* Vimeo

* Twitch

* BitChute

But the alternatives are niche platforms with nowhere near the level of content that YouTube provides.
>Now there is no level of employee performance which can yield better compensation.

This is only true if Microsoft is also freezing promotions. I doubt that is happening.
Never worked for Apple, but do their employees not go through regular training regarding disclosing company confidential and proprietary information?
I am deeply sorry for your relatives. I would like to point out that communism have killed way more people inside Russia itself.

Unfortunately, a great many number of people in Russia still do not understand the extent of damage that communism has inflicted on the country and its peoples. So basically you may just ignore me while many Russians still approve what was done not only to you but to themselves, but here my condolences go.

Dollar or vol neutral? Those two assets have dramatically different characteristics.
I mean, either way, Youtube comes out ahead. If you're blocking all their ads and not paying a sub, you're just a cost. They're cutting you.

In many languages psychedelic is spelt with psycho-, so that's for sure what they meant :)
Guns, shooting enthusiasts and some people owning lots of guns (I know someone who lives in Brisbane, Australia, with 40 in his home) all exist in many countries. Yet the USA is the singularly the gun death problem.

It's pretty clear the difference isn't the presence of guns, or the "restrictions" (in Brisbane you need a licence that boils down to knowing gun safety), it's an attitude. The attitude in the US seems to be it's perfectly acceptable to use a gun for self defence, up to and including killing someone. In the rest of the world we are happy to delegate killing people for crimes to the government, so under no circumstances is it legal to threaten someone with a gun, let alone shoot them. Accordingly the rest of the world's population is happy to have fairly mild restrictions on gun use that allows their use for anything (sport, farming, game hunting, ...) bar personal protection from other people.

I suspect the person you are respond would disagree violently on this one point. To them the entire point of owning a gun is self defence. They insist they must have the right to kill someone.
Whataboutism is always the recourse for someone who doesn't see a moral imperative to stop doing bad things. "Everyone does it. What's wrong if we do it too?" Well the point isn't to sink to the lowest low humanity has to offer but to try to be better than everyone else, and you can't claim the moral high ground by arguing from the bottom of the hill.
There’s also a long history of smuggling code into JS comments (JSX pragmas, pure), and seemingly noop directives (“use strict”). They’re all hacky but there’s a very strong resistance in the community to mixing intent with JSDoc (good luck signaling anything to TS or eslint in a JSDoc block!). I think it’s safe to write this possibility off as “probably not inevitable”.
The data shows that there are excess deaths beyond what can be directly attributed to Covid-19, that Covid-19 deaths are themselves not strongly correlated with energy prices, and that excess deaths in 2022-2023 were moderately correlated with energy prices. So we can be somewhat confident that Covid-19 is not the primary causal pathway to excess deaths in 2022-2023.

The worst problem is that the author concluded that there is a causal path between the high prices and excess deaths, which they absolutely did not do enough work to justify. For example, I don't see any longitudinal analysis here, nor do I see the effects of weather (temperature, humidity, cold snaps, high winds) accounted for. If your main causal hypothesis is that physically being cold caused the excess deaths, then something like 5th percentile temperature, events like "cold snap below -5 C for 3 or more days", etc. should be strongly correlated with excess deaths, after controlling for energy prices and baseline seasonality over several years.

Consider that temperature might actually be the underlying causal factor for both high prices and excess deaths! That is: cold winter causes more deaths, and cold winter also causes higher prices.

Maybe also having a warmer climate is correlated with being less dependent on Russian gas for heat due to geopolitical factors. That would be an interesting article in its own right, but it's not quite as exciting of a headline.

These points should be incredibly obvious to anyone writing for The Economist, and the fact that this wasn't even mentioned makes me think this article is more than just "incompetence" but outright bad faith.

> As wholesale energy prices fall and temperatures rise, the immediate threat may be over, but it is clear Mr Putin’s energy weapon was deadly.

Ugh, does it get any cornier?

I feel like readers ought to start demanding data and source code along with allegedly "data-driven" articles like this. That way at least I can do my own analysis using theirs as a starting point. Their list of sources at the bottom is not exactly something I can work with:

> Chart sources: The Economist’s excess-deaths tracker; Copernicus; HEPI

In any case, junk articles like this are exactly the reason I haven't subscribed to The Economist in years. Blogs written by actual economists seem to be the only place to find any sober analysis nowadays.
What happens when you ask chatgpt to create a game similar to one that does not exist?

I am the proud owner of my own firstnamelastname.com

When I first ventured into web hosting, the domain was dead, but still registered. I did a whois and got Firstname Lastname. Not sure what I expected, really.

After some years I randomly checked with my favorite registrar, and it was suddenly available for $15/yr. Immediately grabbed that, no regrets.

A couple of years ago, I got a series of emails from some broker offering me an increasing amount of money for the domain. I think they gave up at $5k, and I never responded. $5k would have been incredible at the time, but by then I was fully committed to my FirstName@firstnamelastname.com email address.

I guess I never really put a website at that domain, it's just an email address. I keep telling myself I'll do it eventually, but it's been almost 10 years at this point...
No. In every testing or selection system there will be people who could have made it, but didn't make the cut.

Either we can accept some amount of arbitrariness, and that there are plenty of opportunities (try again next year?), or everyone who didn't make it can decide to cheat (they're probably good enough right?)

Which of these responses makes sense to you?

Somehow I've got the "Ready" prompt from Locomotive basic etched in my brain.
I even tried to code in Z80 assembler (took an ethernity to load from tape, and hanged the computer if you did it wrong - which was usual).

It's great to see someome doing side projects just because they want, not as a way to make some business on the side.
Back in 1999, an acquaintance of mine became a paper millionaire of a dot-com and bought a 2.3M home in Boca Raton, Fl, and put in a further half million renovating it. As he was driving me and a few friends through the neighborhood, he indicated that if you don't like the style of house, it could be demolished and a new home built, and pointed out a few homes that were new, the old having been demolished.

He also said that it cost him something like $10,000/month to live here, what with the mortgage and huge electric bill (he had three multi-ton A/C units to cool the almost 10,000 square foot (900 square meters) home.

It was ... something.
There's a huge leap between intelligent and sentient, and approximately 100% of human labor could be satisfied somewhere in between.
A big reason why is because of the depression. We constructed very few houses in the 1930s and 1940s. What we started building in the 1950s is a completely different thing and why homes pre-war that are well maintained are so prized.
Because people get real mad if YouTube tries to collect the patron money themselves and obviously takes a cut. Aka memberships.
For example, Chazelle's Soft Heap got a purely functional counterpart in 2013.
I was thinking of something like this but where you only send the whole shebang like you mention every now and then, I'll call that a "sync point".

Between the sync points, each message only contains part of the hmac, proportional to the state size, and not h_(N-i). Ie if sending a single keystroke then a single byte from the hmac, if sending a few bytes then two bytes of hmac etc.

If the sequence is continuous you can still verify as you can regenerate h_(N-i) from the previous sync point. A deletion can then still be done by issuing a redact operation which deletes everything from the start of the secret up to the next sync point, and adding an operation which inserts back the data between the end of the secret to the next sync point.

My thought was that while finding a collision for a single keystroke message might not be hard, doing it for two messages in a row should be quite difficult. However it would "just" roughly double the size of the messages on average, rather than add dozens of bytes to each.

I was also thinking that h_0 should be based on data includes something that's not up to the individual actor, to make preimage attacks harder.

Anyway, way past bedtime and not my area at all so this might all be drivel, but interesting problem to ponder...
That directory doesn't work with Möbius Sync however. It gives an error when you try to set it as the local path for sync. Also, I can't figure out how to access that from Linux via ifuse: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/ifuse/issues/58
It's not hard to embed links in the generated answer as demonstrated by Bing Chat. Under the hood, it still uses Bing Search as a first-step filter. So you still want to very much rank high on search results. SEO will not change much in that sense.

YouTube has caching like that too, see:

Keep in mind that HN/Reddit is comprised of thousands or millions of people and there may or may not be overlap between those saying the first thing and later the second.
What's next, "YouTube tests pausing videos when you look away from ads"?

This is a slippery slope that I definitely do not want to be going down. At that rate, "drink verification can" is not far off.

When I used to watch the actual TV I changed the channel, muted, or left the room during ads. My eyes, my ears, my brain. I will not be forced to consume.
>> High energy prices can cost lives. They discourage people from heating their homes properly, and living in cold conditions raises the risk of cardiac and respiratory problems.

I wonder if this assertion is even true. Cold conditions have been shown to be beneficial in some ways (increase metabolism, increase in brown fat which burns more calories than regular fat, etc). I'm sure there are limits to this, but IIRC Europe ended up having a surprisingly warm winter this year.
If you weren’t a paying customer, refuse to become a paying customer, and refuse to watch the ads, they don’t gain anything by having you as a user. It only costs them to retain you.

If doing something as simple as asking you to hold up your end of the deal of using their website (letting ads load for the ad-supported content) is too much to ask but paying for the website is also too much to ask, you have to be honest that you just want a free experience.

I don’t buy the argument that you were going to pay them in the future but you decided against it because they wouldn’t let you have it for free.
You could probably satisfy 5 with some kind of (mixed integer) linear optimization or so.
Promoted links or native ad formats in AI search results would be an almost too obvious guess.

Then putting advertising in whatever format LLM outputs are dressed as.

My biggest fear is, abuse eg how LLMs for search can work with targeted ads, eg making you slightly prefer Coke vs. Pepsi, or One Political Brain Parasite(tm) over another.
> I was too young to remember these events firsthand, but learning about Grozny in the history books, I am mystified that the world was so eager to cooperate with Russia such a short time later. Putin completely destroyed a cosmopolitan city killing thousands of civilians. The Russian military offered the defenders safe passage out of the city and mined the road overnight before they left.

I think it was vain hope that the cooperation and "playing nice" will cause shift in russia into more civilized country and shift the iron curtain thinking of EU being "the enemy" instead of "partner in making more wealth for the citizens".
I would paid for Youtube Premium if I could get it for $11.99 a month. But since I used Youtube TV in the past my price is $15.99 a month and that’s not a price I want to pay.

Some of us are from a time before the web was commercialized. The answer to your question is we couldn't care less. If these people who make "content" as a means of making money go bankrupt, it's no skin off our backs. It will make more room for people who host genuine works on the web.
