This would mean YouTube will have to break compatibility with countless outdated Android / iOS apps, Smart TVs and other devices. Not gonna happen anytime soon.
I dunno what to tell you. Visit in person and get back to me?

I'm not actually trying to shun or shame people who are happy to live in such a place, there's no use arguing over matters of taste, eh?

FWIW I've lived in a few places and I find I'm happier the more "homey" the neighborhood. I'd rather live in a smaller or less fancy place in a living neighborhood than a big fancy place in a dead zone. But that's me, eh?
Ads are worse. They make everything seem cheap and poor quality.
Same here, something funky going on with unicode triangles?
I agree. I love YT Premium and I think it’s worth it for the amount I watch YT.

But almost everyone I ask thinks it’s a “scam”. The more technical the user, the more likely they are say something like “why should I have to pay when I have an add blocker”.

Like so many thing, there is almost a sense of entitlement to free content with clickable ads, which doesn’t bode well for the future.

The others either are willing to put up with the ads or think the price is much too high for the value of not seeing ads even if they watch tons of content.

I pay because I want to support the channels I watch and at this point the YT ads are just infuriating to me.
I walked through it.
Or block them. It's your computer and cpu cycles.
I assume this is just a PR/IR-driven project to stay the "Google is Dead" headlines hence the budget, especially considering an oversized chunk was spent on the scaling law, doesn't seem they were serious about building a GPT4-killer.

I wasn't aware autoregressive LLMs were still considered an existential threat to Google. What's the threat supposed to be, ChatGPT is just going to keep eating Google search market share burning Microsoft capital on infra a la the Uber model or do they make money off of that at some point?

Seems farfetched OpenAI can compete with Google's resources, vertical integration down to the TPU and access to significantly more training data.
Isn't the restart there because explorer is also the desktop? If it was just killed, you'd have to know how to launch shutdown.exe from the task manager etc.
> It sounds like those boot camp courses: Build ten projects in ten days to become an genius programmer.

> Doesn't work, and I think people will overestimate their skill because GPT helped them to do a clone of something that already exists thousandfold.

I don't mean to be rude, but was this text generated by GPT? It's breaking my brain.
Urbanism is unnatural, i.e. it's an anti-nature lifestyle. Rather than squashing people into concrete hives, the gov should be promoting small minimum-footprint houses on large lots. Brutalistic master-trucks as personal commute vehicles should go away for the same reason.
I mean... it's a big project that overlaps with many areas?

I do realize because I'm a shameless self promoter looking for like minds.
I'm not aware of any Swedish lockdowns. What are you referring to?
On Android, I disabled the YouTube app and use Firefox for YouTube, entirely because of the shorts. It lets you remove the shorts for 30 days in the browser. I did have to switch text messaging apps because the default option wouldn't work without YouTube enabled whenever someone sent a YouTube link.
I guess I'm fine with that! Or maybe some billionaire will make it it's gift to humanity. Crazy that we have public libraries but no public youtube/wiki government supported
In terms of Google holding up their end of the bargain, the reason you shouldn't trust them is simple: it is the CEO and board's fiduciary duty to the shareholders to make the most of Google's immense market power. The legal requirements governing their behaviour are such that they have to ensure that of all the participants in a transaction, they win biggest and most often.

Your bonus is my primary reason for using the service. Invidious, old.reddit.com, Gmail HTML Mode, are perfect examples of the great user experiences we've lost in the pursuit for New Shiny. Directly comparable with their "modern" counterparts. It would be nice if websites started to offer a cut-down version as an option, especially for users in 3rd world countries.
ShareChatGPT with Cherry-Pick
When you want to share pieces of the conversation with ChatGPT, you may take several screenshots and do some extra combination work, which is annoying.

This chrome extension will help you with that.
You can select the messages you want to share with someone else and then an image of combined messages will be ready to share.

It's not that I wouldn't want to pay. I can just (so far) watch the stuff with an adblocker and have effectively no additional value by giving YouTube money for premium.
That's a lazy rationalization which doesn't even make sense — either way you're getting the exact same sandwich, it's just a question of whether you pay for it directly or by watching ads.

This also doesn't make any sense from the negative way you're describing it: you're eating at Cockroach Joe's every day so clearly you don't really believe the food is bad. If you're using YouTube now, any negative which you can possibly imagine is already happening: they're tracking what you watch and where you watch it from, they're telling advertisers what kind of devices you use as a proxy for your likely spending habits, etc. There's a 0% chance they do that less when it's their only option to make money to cover your usage costs!
One way to frame that is a 45% flat tax on the revenue that creators create for google.

Time for some progressive taxation maybe?

They could make it a tiered system so the low-end views pay more for creators.

Ie, 90% to channels for the first 50K views, then progressive steps down to 55% share for the higher numbers.
It’s not desiring the fall; it’s terror of the flames.

Also cute these people think using incognito does anything to stop Google from tying the traffic back to them. They already finger print you off hundreds of parameters. Hell most people are literally using their web browser.
While I totally get video hosting is expensive, when it's YouTube (and Google in general) and their extremely hostile, intrusive, arrogant behavior over UX, I can't stop thinking that they fail and people keep leeching them.
There's plenty more in my comments and submissions history. I can make a list of links if you'd like. This is where it began:

Other brazilians here on HN have also corrected me on points where I was wrong, I learned plenty from them even in in cases where I didn't agree.
I don't know if it's clear that Tesla is beating GM unless you assume the growth curves for both are stable. My guess is that Tesla's growth slows until they stabilize around the 3rd-5th largest automaker.

(GM shipped 6M cars in '22, Tesla was at 1.3M)

It seems very possible, to me, that Tesla's growth slows. I don't think we can rely on Elon's marketing brilliance to bring another growth spurt - he appears distracted and unstable.
Cheating is bad, full stop. These kinds of unethical people likely contribute to a toxic team culture, back-stabbing and acting in bad faith to get ahead.

But if you've designed your interview process in a way that can be easily beaten by in-the-moment googling, then you're getting the candidates you deserve. And since these people were promoted, then I guess the system worked.

Miss me with these companies/teams.
pixel fold doesn’t seem to have a stylus, does it?
I'm fascinated by CESLetter. I myself don't get it because each time I start reading it my eyes glaze over because I learned the most salient things years ago. Seeing others get into it though, it seems to be an example of drinking from the proverbial firehose.

I did quitmormon as well, back in 2017. I actually regretted it and was even mad at quitmormon for a time for making it so easy, but I've been at a place where I no longer regret it for a couple of years. And I guess that is where I feel betrayed by the church. If not for Prop 8 and the 2015 policy and the more extreme tax dodges I could have a more relaxed take on it. I still do have a relaxed take on Mormonism.

the most succinct answer is that with clearspace, no learned behavior path can become a compulsive habit for quickly getting more scrolling.
every configuration of screen time limits we've tried has ended with us learning the quickest behavioral path to more scrolling (ie: quickly tapping "5 more minutes", entering passcode, etc).

more specifically:
1. we hit you with friction every time you enter an app you want to moderate your engagement with. with screen time limits, as long as you're under your budget, you'll get through no problem. in time this means you learn that early in the day is the best time to use social apps. we think this is a second order failure.

2. we let you stack your progress over time with your streak, which seems to be a far better behavioral motivator for staying in line with your goals.

3. we report usage for the apps you actually care about moderating. (I basically ignore my native screen time report, because "being up 25% this week" might mean I went on a long drive and was using maps to navigate, or that I doom-scrolled in bed until 3am.) we try to report data you actually care about (there's a ton we still need to do on this front, but we're getting better at it)

$118,500 for a diamond-encrusted dumbphone that's still running Symbian, anyone?
I mean it's just a right to privacy really, isn't it?
I just want to underscore your response to the parent.

For most of my life I've prided myself on my psychological resilience. But a while back I experienced a brief period where all the mindfulness, CBT, journaling, exercise, therapy, what-have-you were powerless to combat what was going on in my head. I got lucky and eventually it seemed to just pass. Who knows if it will rear its head again.

The whole episode increased my empathy for people like Heather.
Have you tried to multimonitor different combinations of HiDPI + regular DPI on x11? Last time I tried to make different scaling displays work together on x11 the experience was so nightmarish that I went back to windows.
And it took years to get it with them kicking, screaming, and trying to take it away the entire time. Who has a pension plan these days?
Run an ad network and use your data to serve ads? So you don’t want to pay for them to not do that?
Some good stuff here. I like the Pixel 7A. I like that we've got another competitor in the LLM API market.

But I wish Google would come out with a world-shifting technology like they used to. Maps, YouTube, Search. Surely they could do some crazy stuff with AI this year.
A third of scientific papers may be fraudulent
I have a very hard time believing someone is regularly contributing to creators patreons while also being annoyed by the "invasive" reminders of YouTube Premium and would go through means of using a handful of external tools to keep watching YouTube for free and without ads. Surely such a person would avoid YouTube entirely and just stick to supporting their Patreon creators?
People don't like micro transactions. Please try to think of one micro transaction product that ever got any traction.

The number of desktops is tiny compared to phone and laptop users, so I don't see how this can be scaled. (And it's not even clear the cents people would earn would even cover their electricity/data costs)
I signed up when it was first announced as YT Red years ago ("Member since October 29, 2015") and whenever I use a device without being logged in or I'm on an account without premium, I cringe. I can't believe people live that way. And we watch so much YouTube in this house, it's more than worth it for me, plus more cash to the creators.

I wish I got a discount for ALSO subscribing to YTTV and Google One... that'd be nice, but I'm not parting with YT Premium any time soon. It shows I've had > 790 hours of ad-free videos.
Ok, consider me pissed about gopher too then I guess? I mean, you knew the exact date and all didn't you?
Agreed. Also stop shoving news channels in my face. Every few weeks/months they come back, usually after some horrific event.

“Welcome to YouTube! Would you like to watch 40 videos on todays slaughter of innocent people?”

No. The answer is always no.
What about "former mormon"?
> And yes Netflix is not comparable, unlike YouTube, Netflix can highly leverage cache boxes at ISPs

Why can't Google do this? They already have presence at ISPs
Pirated shows are still a mainstay. I watch pirate ufc content often, and its not even hard to find.
It's worth pointing out that nobody is building "well-planned Victorian" houses, either.
I’m unmoved by the creators angle. Google exploits creators too. It’s best to just give them money more directly (like Patreon) than give Google money and hope they forward the creators a sensible amount.

If Google wants me off their service because I don’t watch enough ads, that’s their call. I’m not going to make a hufflepuff about it. But their ad game is garbage.
i'm conflicted, because youtube is amazing and has the greatest content on the internet, its easily capable of replacing teachers and this is the most valuable thing you could ever have.

and on the other hand, i adblock anything that looks at me the wrong way. i'm not sure where to go on this.

i've seen some creator-based ads that i would be willing to look into purchasing, but that doesn't actually benefit youtube as a company, is it simply up to me to rely on people who have never heard of adblock as these folk steadily decline out over the next couple decades? i guess premium it is. i don't mind supporting the platform.
They don't but Google could have been more precise with which of the definitions listed by GP they mean by "character".
gotta love a custom cursor
> My understanding is that Vercel is built on top of Cloudflare and charges a significant premium.

Are you sure it's Cloudflare and not AWS?
FWIW, I've had it for years and it's great. I've basically forgotten YouTube has ads.
An externally accessible Jenkins instance is just asking to get pwned.

I worked for a company a couple years ago that had Jenkins running on a Windows EC2 with a bare public IP, no TLS, and a single set of admin credentials shared by everyone. Also, the host did double duty as some sort of DBA jump box and had every possible credential.

It was like in-defense in depth. I tried to explain how crazy it was. They weren’t interested in fixing it. I moved on.

Some companies just don’t care… soc 2 btw.
I don’t think you understand how much stock employees have. If the stock price go up, everyone is extremely happy
Why would content creators post content there if they can’t make money? Where would the content come from?
There seems to be significant activity around ASML in the Netherlands:

YouTube is testing a block for Adblock plugins
So you shouldn't pay at a grocery store also? At any other big company shop? Because as you said so eloquently:

"The reason you shouldn't trust them is simple: it is the CEO and board's fiduciary duty to the shareholders to make the most of any company's immense market power. The legal requirements governing their behaviour are such that they have to ensure that of all the participants in a transaction, they win biggest and most often."
In this day and age, it's just more fun for me to hear what companies are working on than it is to have a "big" "surprise" once a year.

Also, I love that there's drama over a leak that is so boring I can't even be bothered to look at it.
I can't believe how many distinct "longterm memory for LLM" libraries have launched in the last month or so! It's intense.
The one thing I don’t like is incognito mode in the YT app disables YT Premium.

From time to time I turn it in to look something up quick. Maybe a recipe or something. A topic I don’t want recommended to me constantly for the next few weeks.

But it also turns all ads back on. Instead you can watch it normally and remove it from your history, but I’m not sure that works.
> People go to war when told to do so by their superiors.

Actually many do not.
Lots of things end up with a delayed release in parts of Canada like Quebec because they require everything to be available and fully functional in French.
> they don’t gain anything by having you as a user.

Every minute someone watches them is a minute that they aren't watching a potential competitor

In this sense, having a free tier at all is effective to suffocate competition, even if most users enable adblock
If you wanted a contract, they'd honor it for the term of the contract but you'd have to pay for that up front but statistically nobody online likes to pay for content so the ad-funded model is pervasive. The ethical choices are either to accept the service as offered or watch something which is offered under terms you find more acceptable.

I think you are right, and the quote from article we are commenting here is wrong. From the PaLM technical report: "The largest model in the PaLM 2 family, PaLM 2-L, is significantly smaller than the largest PaLM model but uses more training compute."
Everything modern humans do is "unnatural", but I'd sure prefer most of it over being a hunter-gatherer with hookworms.
Have you used the Bing implementation of chatgpt? It doesn't seem to have any of those problems.
It's 2023. Even if they had a reactor ready and functional today, the NRC would not give them the approval by 2028, and once they gave them the approval, it would take them a decade to build a reactor.

In a world where the NRC does not exists maybe this makes sense, but that's (thankfully) not the world we have.
entire internet is going to become taboola
There's a lot of new results in cryptography/distributed algorithms, motivated in part by applications to blockchains. But even if you don't believe in blockchains they are interesting.

- better zero knowledge proofs/arguments
- better consensus protocols (my expertise!)
- multiparty computation is nearing practicality, as is fully homomorphic encryption

Also, lots of fascinating theoretical progress on primitives such as indistinguishability obfuscation, post-quantum schemes, quantum crypto, etc.
I think you make a good point but I think part of the problem is that it is difficult to get people to pay for something that they have gotten used to getting for free.
I think you are just hating on LLMs because its a new thing. You can similarly argue that internet will ruin our social life because we no longer have to go to the library and meet with strangers researching up similar topics. But I don’t see anyone arguing against internet?

Progress is here, old man. Thinking that people will deliberately go out of their way to grok through pages of PDF documentations hoping to find that one line of relevant information instead of just asking is stupid and misguided.
It is pretty trivial on every device I have used. Which ones are a challenge?
Had a Samsung zflip 4 where the screen stopped working after 1 month and their customer service gave me the run around and tried to claim I damaged it - thank god I took pictures documenting the whole process. I probably wasted a work week’s worth of time on emails and phone calls related to this nonsense.

Will never consider Samsung again. They do this weird 3rd party support partnership thing with asurion where they’ll tell you to go to asurion to get the phone fixed but then refuse to honor the diagnostics performed by asurion because they’re a 3rd party, which makes for an awful customer experience. For a $1000 phone you would expect much better support.

All this to say I don’t have confidence in the foldable screen tech, and I have even less confidence with any company that has 3rd party support arrangements with asurion (which google does too)
What you're doing feels like breaking the fourth wall. It's like when people commented on Paul Graham's use of the phrase "it turns out". https://jsomers.net/blog/it-turns-out
Yes, it is a very selfish act.

Imagine how must pain they must be in to act in this way, to dismiss or not realize how much harm they will cause.

Imagine how much pain they must be in to demonstrate such extreme selfishness. To behave in a way that seems so out of character, so different from how they'd treated their loved ones prior to that act.

And consider how selfless they must have been to have held off as long as they did. To have endured the immense pain and struggled to resist the escape of suicide, until that time when they were finally overcome and capitulated.
Yup. I definitely see the appeal of having your phone and tablet be the same thing. I'm sure these will get cheaper eventually if they work well.

Not surprised at all by the cost it's a lot different product and very new. There's people paying 1K for normal phones.
Youtube has ~500 hours of video uploaded every minute. Netflix only has content from the past few months/years, and probably only a few thousand hours _total_.
Progressive taxation makes sense when you're talking about actual tax, but why does it make sense for content creators? If anything, less popular creators cost Google more, because one 10GB video with 1,000,000 views is cheaper to host and serve than ten 10GB videos each with 100,000 views.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that both content and platform are necessary here, and letting content creators take home over half the revenue seems, I dunno, at least within the realm of fairness? Seems to be working pretty well for Mr Beast.
Firefox containers, set one up for youtube.
That's a tempting narrative but I think it's wrong. The used to let their researchers publish freely like Google Brain and Deep Mind, but then there was a combination of some of their employees leaving and also other companies learning from the publications. This led to the AI race, so now all race participants are shutting down their publications.
You'd also have to trust that YT doesn't track you in the incognito window, given that it's still pretty easy to identify an user and you're also most likely using Google's own browser to hide.

If you really don't want to be tracked by Google, you should probably consider not using their services.
I've gone back to actually reading official documentation. It tends not to be full of pompous douchebags and infantile downvoters the way SO is.
Your medical analysis is badly flawed. When people are cold this causes peripheral vasoconstriction, thus raising blood pressure. Not a problem for healthy young people, but it increases the risk of major adverse cardiac events for frail elderly people. This is common knowledge in the field.
Which browser? So far, everything seems fine in Firefox, Chromium, and Nyxt, which uses WebKit.
It's very easy to convince yourself that some laws are not worth respecting. (Ever drive 56 in a 55 zone?)

Taxi laws are an instance of almost 100% public corruption, unnecessary bureaucracy, and regulatory capture, but at the same time they would have been almost impossible to dislodge except through widespread disobedience. What happened with Uber and Lyft was for the best. The market spoke.
Shorts is the digital content equivalent of cigarettes. I'd love an option to hide shorts forever.
