YouTube was also unprofitable at the time. With out google backing youtube it may have gone the way of Napster.
So much for solving the 2 language problem. Everytime I ended up in a similar situation the Julia code was rewritten either by me or someone else in c++ for practical/performance reasons. Hope you consider the same. The libraries for doing mathematics in C++ are surprisingly good and you might be surprised to find how easy parallel processing and fine tuning is in c++. In some ways it's less cognitive load than Julia because it's more explicit...
I think I'll stick with rails if I want cute DSLs and lots of magic ("… broadcast an event to update the frontend in real time …"). But sure, it's great that php has come a long way since php3.

That aside:

> It can handle more than 500,000 orders per month when hosted on a $6/month server.

Surely it can do more than 700 orders per hour, 1 order every 5 seconds?

> The only additional fees are for a CDN (if you want your assets to be served faster) and a domain name

Uh, so no managed database, but you recommend paying for a CDN before slapping Varnish in front of your static assets?

I get that php might be eminently usable at this point - but this seems like an odd pitch.
I would add: And doing the same thing over and over.

I find GPT very useful in that I can quickly become mediocre in any domain. Need a legal filing? I can get a good-enough legal filing. Need some code in a framework I've never used? I can get it instantly. Need something written in the language of some esoteric field of science? I can get that instantly from a bullet point list.

It doesn't do the hard parts well: What's being written, and how it's structured. That's where I fit back in.
Cued recall in the form of verbal tradition is often criticised to be subject to inaccuracies as, for one example, stories accrue embellishments over time.

They aren't hiding the fact they'll charge for it one day.

I wish they'd say upfront how much any 'forever free' allowance would be. Then I could design my application with that in mind.

I can see however that they want to see how users end up using it before deciding what any free allowance should be.
First off, this comment reveals some ignorance about the language. PHP 6 never existed. Trying to infer anything off version numbers like this is goofy; in a much shorter time period Node is up to v20. Does 20 versus 8 mean anything? No.

No one got “fooled”. The got a useful tool that got better over time.
Nope. Education is on par with neighbors if not better. Quality of pre-school and primary education is great, secondary and tertiary are acceptable.

But... The only news-only FM radio that expanded from a nearby country was banned and replaced by a stub Catholic FM radio some 10 years ago. Politics is non-existent. Parties are melting pots of scrubs.

I agree and disagree.

R itself isn't a mess. Typical R code tends to be.

In theory, this reflects one of R's strengths, which is its ability for flexible metaprogramming. In practice, this becomes a weakness because people abuse it to introduce all sorts of inconsistent notation that makes zero sense without reading the documentation of the package even to understand 'syntax'.

From a language point of view, R is not too bad. The ecosystem is a mostly positive thing, but at the same time, it's the variety in the ecosystem that's creating this chaos around offerred packages and R code in the wild.
YouTube seems to be slowly forcing users to think about alternatives. For me, having ads interrupt video was the line I hoped they would never cross, and I see this as something that will drive users away in the long term. Showing me 4-5 ads for videos shorter than 10 minutes is quite ridiculous, and as a result my viewing has significantly dropped.
I'm afraid you are making a mistake in assuming that Incognito mode == no tracking. The only thing that Incognito mode does is not save any local history or cookies. This is mainly of benefit for people who share a computer and don't want the other users to see their history.

Tracking has long moved way beyond cookies and Google is absolutely tracking what you do in incognito mode and doing their best (which is highly effective) to associate the tracking data with you.
> There's nothing about disallowing private ownership of the Earth's common resources, natural monopolies, etc. that stops having free markets everywhere else.

What are "the Earth's common resources"? Is farmland one of those? What about forests, are those part of those "common resources"? If the answer is "yes" your claim of there not being any hindrance between Socialism and "free markets everywhere else" falls flat since it would not be possible to have a free market in essential goods - food and shelter.

For where it concerns "natural monopolies" I tend to agree. As to "a lot of taxation against accumulated and inherited wealth (not income)" I mostly disagree since this is a big disincentive against saving and living within one's means. Parents who want to take care of their children to help them on their way would be punished for their thriftiness (which turns "income" into "wealth") to finance slackers and spendthrifts, the classical dilemma which gave rise to the likes of Ayn Rand writing "Atlas Shrugged". Such a system does not promote economic mobility either since it takes away the incentive to become mobile - why bother when the state provides "equity"?
Sponsored content is regulated by Youtube's content policy like everything else on the platform, so it is in fact controlled by Youtube. The same way, the Youtuber's speech itself is controlled by Youtube, as shown by the recent “demonetize all the videos where people curse” (which generated much drama in the French Youtuber community, for cultural reasons).
You need to dig the root nameservers these days, if you really want accurate glue record lookups. Don't trust whois.
I listen to a LOT of amateur music on Youtube. This probably won't be most people's fancy, but I consider this to be the best performance of this particular song which exists.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ6-8IIuJnc

There's a lot on Youtube like this. Music which is either just a cover, or is original that you literally can't find anywhere else because some hobbyist threw it up there and then stopped performing years ago.

There are also plenty of amazing lectures. I'm about halfway through this Yale course, but need to get back to watching it.

I think 4k requests per second is quite ambitious even for native languages or garbage collected languages like Go.

Hello world will work, but once parsing, validation, and database queries get involved, you'll need some beefier hardware to get those numbers.

I can't get the cloud benchmarks for 2022 to work (a dedicated PowerEdge is the standard physical benchmark and that's not very realistic here), but according to these benchmarks: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r20&hw=... you're going to need some very optimized code to get close to 8k reqs/s.
IANAL.

Oracle is very litigious. However, OpenZFS has been releasing code for more than a decade. Ubuntu shipped integrated ZFS/Linux in 2016. It's certain that Oracle knows all about it and has decided that being vague is more in their interests than actually settling the matter.

On my list of potential legal worries, this is not a priority for me.
It’s possible but not legal, just unenforced. We understand that you feel entitled to use things without paying for them but don’t try to dress it up as anything more noble or pretend to be surprised if enforcement escalates.
Thanks, just an overly elaborate way of making a point (we prefer hot takes with 240 chars nowadays).

> I know this is HN, but can we please stop drawing these vague parallels between basic programming concepts and the functioning of the human brain?

Why? Those are perfectly good parallels, and quite specific at that. Forgetting the thing, and replacing that memory with the memory of the location of that thing - that's an "indirect reference", i.e. a pointer in programming terms.

> I cannot tell you with complete confidence whether writing stuff down improves recall or diminishes it, but I can tell you that you can construct computer analogies in support of either case.

You can construct analogies to anything in support of anything, what matters is whether the analogy is bringing the reader towards or away from the truth.

Also, even when you have two similar analogies pointing in opposite direction, that doesn't mean either is wrong - they may be talking about two different things. For instance:

> I could posit that writing actually improves your memory, because the minute movements of your arm require more of your brain to compute, therefore creating more neural connections and possibilities of recall.

I believe that to be true just as much as GP's pointer analogy. In fact, I attribute my learning of irregular verbs in English directly to my grandfather insisting I copy the verb table by hand several times. Doing it, I went from near-zero recall to near-perfect recall in two sessions (with each having me copy the table once or twice).

Now the difference here is, in case of irregular verbs, I wanted to memorize them. The act of writing the information down myself somehow helped commit it to memory, perhaps because the brain was more focused, or because I was more invested, or a bit of both.

In case of GP's (and mine too!) experience with TODO list, the act of writing serves the explicit purpose of getting the thing out of your head. This is the opposite of memorization - you literally want to forget about tasks you write down, so they stop circling around in your head, distracting and stressing you.

Incidentally, when I write some TODOs by hand, I actually improve my immediate recall of them - should I try and check. But I don't, because I don't want to reinforce those thoughts. My brain understands, and before I know it, I no longer remember most of them in detail.
The Silicon Valley Co-Los Know What’s Going on with AI
All this does is reset the bad content. The only way to really master youtube is to block recommendations, which can be done with uBlock Origin.
A stack of A4 to which I could load even static content wirelessly would really be something.
Many of the creators I listen to sell their content, and when they do, I pay for it if I can. (some do not sell their content on a service which allows for non-DRM audio purchases.)
Personally whenever I find videos I like on YouTube I will immediate send them into yt-dlp and save it locally to view after the fact.

At this point the amount of advertising has become so pervasive that I’ve lost all care. This “monetization” game as far as I’m concerned is blackmail to creators as their content is heavily regulated by the platform and god forbid you say the wrong thing and then all the money you would get per view goes away but the ads will continue playing because someone else is going to get that money.

What a scam.

> No, I want an experience that commits to showing the ad(s) up front and not interrupting the video with more ads in the middle.

Of course you would, and of course YT and its creators earns significantly more if they show ad in the middle. Not 100% sure, but AFAIK content creator could disable ad in the middle if they want to.
Does this tiling data support overhangs and holes? For example, could it accurately model the Arc de Triomphe and let me fly 'under' the arch?

Other approaches I've seen are effectively just a 2D map with a height per pixel, which is okayish for mountains, but quickly looks bad when you model human structures like bridges.
Good news, they aren’t. Tons of content is on multiple services - if you really have a principled objection to Google, you should show that by supporting those services rather than boosting YouTube’s popularity.

The key is that information exchange between a person and AI must be symmetric, not asymmetric. One must actively maintain that balance. Asymmetric information exchange will result in deleterious effects, similar to over-consumption of TV or social media.
I'm not sure you got the right example here. "è un dottore" in Italian is unambiguously a He. Italian Language is a gendered one and leaves little room for context interpretation. A female doctor would be 'una dottoressa" and you would never say it without a pronoun either so the full frase "lei è una dottoressa" does leave zero room for implying anything.
Maybe your comment would be more valid in other languages that are not so strongly gendered.

That's wild, I've seen huge performance regressions from changes to Base, among commands being dropped, irreconcilable breakages with basics of the ecosystem, spurious bugs in the networking libraries that are nearly impossible to chase down, and the menagerie of compatibility with essential packages break. I stopped caring around 1.7 when I realized this was the norm and it wasn't going to change. You must be honed in on some specific packages with a lot of custom code.

This is actually what Plato also mentions, a few paragraphs later:

> He who thinks, then, that he has left behind him any art in writing, and he who receives it in the belief that anything in writing will be clear and certain, would be an utterly simple person, and in truth ignorant of the prophecy of Ammon, if he thinks written words are of any use except to remind him who knows the matter about which they are written.

I just installed it on my iPad, but adding a number (I am on my iPad and I am in the 0.00001% who doesn’t use phones) is a no go. There is an Apple sign in, but I prefer e-mail if possible.

The Apple signup also cuts of at the bottom.

You mention phone use in the description of the app, but also address iPad users if possible.

I am big fan of allowing people to see what would be happen by choosing one over the other, usually with a (?) symbol.

I think the thing to remember is that there are far more people like me than you. People who are poor writers or middling thinkers outside of specific domains.

I agree that GPT isn’t much of a conversationalist. But it is an exceptionally good tool some of us. It has already proved invaluable for me in helping diagnose a medical issue with a family member — one that escaped several ICU doctors and nurses. And a couple of weeks ago helped me fix an issue with my car.

A good analogy might be a calculator. There are some people who can do calculations in their heads near instantly. And some of these people could do arithmetic of numbers too large to be represented by calculators even. But for most of us, calculators were immensely useful.
Actually better, because I share it with my family and no one has to deal with installing / configuring adblockers on different platforms (mobile app, TV, laptops whatever) It also includes Music so together I think it is a pretty good deal. Prices in some countries are ridiculously cheap as well (<$2 monthly in India, Turkey) , but of course that could change in time.

My only problem is the sponsored content in youtube videos, I would give some extra money to skip that crap as well.
Thank you for spreading the word about our shingles vaccine. It's nice to see the ad is working.
It's pretty difficult to effectively legally defend a UI, and it's not uncommon for them to be very similar; while there's a bit of variance now, historically all spreadsheet apps looked pretty much the same, say.
And what about the database?
Having known a few habitual liars over the years, the similarity to LLM chatbots is quite striking.
Speaking of loaded terms, what are they “taking over” by showing an ad along with the content? If you truly believed they posed the risk that incorrect terminology implies, why on earth would you continue using the site and giving them more opportunities to do so?

> I don’t know what it’s like elsewhere, but the Disney+ signup process here in Japan was one of the most Byzantine, Rube Goldberg-ian clusterfucks of any online product I’ve ever seen.

It's just Japan (and some other Asian countries): for Japan it's because there is already a previous service that was jointly operated with NTT Docomo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disney_Deluxe), in some other countries similar joint ventures existed.
My experience is that if I join a team of PHP developers, there is a 40% chance of the team being professionals and writing good maintainable code. With Java, .NET and Python I would say 80%. C and C++ around 90%.

This also reflects in their salaries.
Anime: Hiroyuki Sawano, ...
> Google made over $250 billion in 2021, $30 billion of that is thought to come from YouTube, can someone explain to me what is wrong with this status quo?

YouTube might (but probably doesn't) make $30 billion in revenue. It certainly doesn't make $30 billion in profit. It's questionable if it even breaks even, and even if it does it's certainly nowhere near paid back the amount of money that has been spent keeping it afloat post acquisition.

> If blocking a subset of users is such a good idea, why isn't Google rolling it out to everyone today?

Because testing something is pretty much always a good idea.

> Here's a radical idea: customer acquisition and retention by offering the most compelling product.

That's not a radical idea, it's a bad one if you lose money on most customers and are hoping to make it up at scale. Ad blocking users are unquestionably money losers for Google.

> And when a competitor comes along with their slider set more towards user friendliness I’m going to jump ship.

What competitor do you think is coming that will be willing to (at a very conservative estimate) set fire to $75 billion+ for a decade to build this competitor, and the investors who loan that $75 billion dollars on a very risky ten year bet not expect a very significant ROI in exchange?

YouTube objectively should never have existed - it was extremely predatorily priced in terms of lowered ad load or subscription charging to actually exist as a business, and Google kept it going to scare competitors away. If a competitor actually comes it will be significantly, significantly more monetised than YouTube is.
The whole point of advertisements is that the person pushing them doesn't earn anything from them - but rather, force-feeds information about the existence of their product to the public. Now, instead of ruining our public space with horrible billboards and kitschy flashing lights, they ruin our digital space with horrible pop-ups and kitschy lust-provoking videos.

I don't care about those who run ads, nor those who allow ad companies to run ads on their content. If you earn money through ads, that's your problem, not mine, and it's not my responsibility to watch them. Ads are fundamentally intrusive, and pretending like the society at large has some kind of "responsibility" towards those who earn money from ads is laughable.
> Of course we can say "they have retweets" and so on. But those were concepts invented not by Twitter but their users, in the open-source, no-ownership way. Twitter can't claim to say they invented post sharing. They just can't.

Even Twitter's users can't, can they? I'm 99% sure that Tumblr had an equivalent function before people started doing it on Twitter, and I'd be surprised if Tumblr invented it, either.

Thin never works for me because I need a case anyway so I don't break it, so the added thickness takes away all the effort that went into making the phone thin. I'd really like a slightly thicker phone that doesn't need a case. I think overall this would allow for a better experience (for me at least) because it would be part of the design of the phone.
