Thank you for reminding me that yt-dlp also works with youtube music (didn't think of that). I just tried to list all the available formats of a song there:

Hm ... no mp3 (my car accepts mp3 only) and the bit rate is not very high. Is youtube music that bad?
And that hosting it might incur more maintenance work than just billing it.

I certainly prefer a website to a random app that just exist to better track you. But I read the article more as they half hassed the maintenance ...
It supported 18w of USB PD. Is there some further spec?
Nice list, many are resources I used to get up to speed on this. I'm currently competing on kaggle on an NLP competition and I feel this is honestly great way to see the limitations of LMs and LLMs. Kaggle's community is like nothing else out there. They share incredible resources and experiments constantly.
The british would have had to play it correctly (thus far they have not)
The servants simply commute from several miles away; they are NOT next door neighbors. [and live-in servants have declined massively.]
I agree with the author’s notion. In ecomm your goal is zero clicks to purchase. Search is used differently by your site’s differing cohorts let alone wildly different search demands depending on your product. Anyone doing advanced search is not at the bottom of your funnel yet; they’re still deciding between products let alone ready to click buy on one.

Search bar tech is really good these days and solves a lot as it tries to drag out inferencing with suggestions and autocomplete.

What? You can still use an api with server components.
The last note there is more of a point of interest regarding differences between Linux and Windows. In particular, WOW64 works differently than multilib on Linux because on Linux, you can still call int 80h to make syscalls.

On Windows the syscall interface was, I believe, at int 2Eh. It should still work for backwards compatibility reasons, but WOW64 does not rely on it (and presumably, it is one of those things that Microsoft could take away at any time, just like how syscall numbers change and the PEB/TEB structures move around). Exactly what happens for WOW64 syscalls, I'm not sure, because I don't really want to look at disassembly listings for Windows DLLs, so unfortunately my understanding is limited to what things I know from reading books and Raymond Chen. It is quite likely I have some of the details a bit off, no question about that.

64-bit Wine does not require 32-bit components, but traditionally to make a WOW64 Wine build, you need to do a special build process that involves building Wine twice. This is likely where things get murky in terms of packaging, because you can still separate out the two builds of Wine. As far as I know, WOW64 in future versions of Wine will not work this way and shouldn't need 32-bit packages at all.

Unfortunately though I really don't know of a good source regarding the situation and history of it. I am pretty darn sure I saw this discussed on the Wine mailing list before, though.

I am somewhat disturbed by these weirdos proclaiming weird politics and somehow being considered representative of Silicon Valley.

This sort of behavior, by both the PayPal mafia and the media, maligns the sector unfairly.

If you want to find weird SV behavior that's more reflective fo the field, then dive into the weirdness of the Singularity religion.
One step thinking is the source of all wisdom. I got paid enough for going no further anyway.
No because if I remember correctly, setting a limit on posts would break the build due to unresolved post cross-references.
> I bet some of y'all blocking YT ads are paying for Spotify. That's just bad planning even if not immoral/illegal.

That argument works the other way around too: I'd pay for Youtube Premium if it didn't force me to also pay for Youtube Music in the process.
Why? WordPress is a great project that has been around for twenty years already.
It's $38K for 100 years.

Because WordPress.com is the .blog registry, I guess they could pull it off for .blog domains. Other tld registries have bitten dust already, and other registries have jacked up prices in the previous years. But even at a 10% increase a year (likely the case for .com), the domain renewals will cost about $5K for 100 years. With hosting, support, and WordPress being able to run for 100 years, I think that price is justified.

If ICANN screws WordPress, or whatever WordPress.com uses for hosting screws them, they will be in a mess.
> Why?

To add on to what denotational wrote, an assertive and wrong statement on the cpu performance also implies they didn't research too in depth before running the benchmark, so it casts doubt on if they controlled for other factors in their test too. Like for the disk test, did they take care to ensure all the VPSes are running the same filesystem? Do any of the providers make you choose between directly attached storage and network block storage? etc.
My own take about movies and television is that my time to watch them is small compared to what I could watch. I have a backlog of at least 120 hours of material which gets filled mostly by me reading about things, picking up DVDs at the thrift store, etc.
Same... was a 'weird' kid, but had no problem getting a job and keeping it, from a young age... a skill that seemed to escape many of my classmates. I loved talking to adults, and although 'normally' schooled, my parents -- due to them being immigrants -- had very different ideas compared to the mainstream
What percent of silicon valley wealth / employment does PayPal Mafia control?
Wow now that this guy has pointed out their inconsistency, I'm sure all these billionaires will shift their viewpoints away from whatever their self-interest is focused on at the moment.
All of those services maintain a clause stating they can revoke that "unlimited" service at-will. I doubt that's the case here.
It's true that in the future I would do some more thorough testing, but never-ever for this legacy application can I build a bullet-proof automated testing solution - there will not be a budget for that for sure. However, even with a fancy solution mistakes will happen and you still can't stop release propagating. It's just a matter of time when it happens.
Excessive tolerance is a form of cruelty.
Death, taxes, and php.
That's insanity. I would rather bet on Cloudflare to be around longer. They don't add any additional up-charge from the baseline ICANN price. Before, I was buying 10 years of registration for a bit of a discount, but, after 20 years, I've switched over to single year with CF. What value does Wordpress bring for $380/yr? That's crazy.
TLDR: 3 tech gurus who like RTO bad. remote work good.

Pretty silly, short, overly hyperbolically-opinionated article.

It infers that anyone who agrees with RTO to some degree as hypocrites.

I agree this part of Thiel's quote here, it makes sense to me: "misalignment can creep in whenever colleagues aren't together full-time, in the same place, every day"
The couldn’t just open a bash shell? It’s not like installing fish removes bash from your system
I would never block ads on YouTube except for paying for it but from engineering standpoint, it's an excellent read.
Filters are also slow as fuck because they almost always need to apply before you can go on. So you are on a results page, you want 4-5 starts with attributes x and y, that’s not just 4 clicks that’s 4 clicks and waiting for the entire thing to reload every time before you can continue.

An other issue more intrinsic to filters is their inconsistency: because only applicable filters are shown entire categories can be missing and you need to hunt through every time.
It would be hard to find a trio that better exemplifies SV 2008-2020 than Musk, Thiel, and Andreessen. You could toss in Brin I guess, I'm not sure if he's "pronatalist" or just loves to fuck his employees. How about Neumann or the Soylent dude? If they're not pronatalist I bet they're even weirder.
Which is okay if they’re doing that from the start. They’re not waiting 9 years switching it after hundreds of thousands of free contributions.
I like the term "faceted search", which I first experienced working with Solr.

Faceted search is effectively what this person is calling "filters", but often comes with an amazing bonus feature: each filter shows a count of how many results will be returned if you click it.

This turns them into a powerful way to summarize your data.

My https://datasette.io has faceted search as a core feature - demo here: https://global-power-plants.datasettes.com/global-power-plan...

One challenge I've found with both filters and filters-with-counts is the best way to design them for mobile screens, since they can take up a lot of valuable real estate.

It can be done though: e-commerce sites in particular often come up with neat UIs for tucking the filters away in an easily accessible tray - though that can hurt discoverability of the feature in the same way this author complains about the advanced search pattern.
the current system is already like this if you want to do sideloading/jailbreak/root of your devices. But that was the idea behind these stores: 'don't be like Microsoft and get viruses, we will make sure nooo malware ever enters our stores", which ofc is such a BS.

As for the developer in the story, he could've just make this a .pkg to be sideloaded by their clients, circumventing Google altogether.
It's obviously true, but you will be karma-whacked on this forum for criticising the EU. It's full of people who think the EU is the solution to every problem, and never the cause.
That is insane. No corporation has the ability to incarcerate you or kill you. No corporation can round up your family.

What, precisely, is the “threat” that Google presents that does not rely on a government to be the muscle. Are they going to cancel your Gmail account? Cut you off from YouTube?

Surely if they actually are as powerful and dangerous as you think they are you wouldn’t use their stuff at all. But then I guess they wouldn’t be all that powerful if you could just stop using them…
I would second this. Res dogs is such an incredible show, I just want of share it with everyone. It paints such a vivid and empathetic view of native culture and does a good job connecting its modern struggles to historical oppression. It’s also a platform for native actors, and much of the outstanding soundtrack is by native artists as well.

Really I have been pleasantly surprised with much of the FX/Hulu series I’ve seen lately. Atlanta, Res Dogs, Woke, Ramy, etc… these series have some similar vibe in some ways, but they’re not at all derivative. They do such a good job being high quality on their own, while also being a platform to showcase often misunderstood cultures in a gentle and empathetic light.

Dave is also stylistically in the same vein, and an enjoyable show.
No, this was more of a hypothetical to the "Silly-con robbing the government to get rich" bit of the GP.
The communication requirements are minimal. The only real requirement is that we agree on which day to perform the measurement.

You and I could sit at Christmas dinner, and conspire to measure the shadow of a 1metre pole at solar noon on Easter Sunday, at our respective locations.

We could then compare those measurements when we meet next Christmas.
You get those low kinds of numbers for low income looking only at income taxes. You need to add Social Security/Medicare taxes (both employee and employer), sales taxes, property taxes, gasoline taxes, car registration fees, alcohol and cigarette taxes, etc.
After a while this may invert and you find that whatever time you go to sleep (within some degree of normal) you'll wake up precisely n hours later, for whatever value of n your body's settled on.

No more need for an alarm clock.
That’s because pronatalism is just an excuse that people like Musk hide behind in order to justify their misogynistic lifestyles. Seriously, how many children with how many partners does he have now?
Thanks, I'll give this a thorough read.
>The 2% is paid through closing and not as a payment to the borrower.

Most likely through the profit that Zillow would get by underwriting your loan and then selling it to the government. IE, if Zillow makes 4% on your loan, they will give up 2% to earn 2%.
I get the sentiment that Youtube viewers shouldn't have to put up with each of Google's whims, but the comparison seems overly reductive:

Would you also be fine with your favorite newspaper going out of business because you have all of their issues of the last 20 years in your basement?
Hah, remember how Amazon invented "Cyber-Monday"? They claim the Monday after Thanksgiving when people go back to work it'll be their first encounter with Internet-connected computers after the Thanksgiving vacation, and it's the time where they'll be most busy shopping for Christmas presents...

There's so much stuff online that's so obviously going to be harmful if kids/teens are constantly exposed to it - porn, violence, fake/catastrophised news, angry/hateful tribalism, bullying/harassment, dangerous stunts performed for likes, etc. And social media algorithms can bring a lot of more outrageous content together into one endless feed.

It shouldn't really require a scientific study to know that the longer you can keep kids away from that stuff, the better. Yes, there's also amazing educational resources online, but they can be accessed via a filtered internet connection on a home PC, where parents can have some idea of what their kids are doing online.

If kids need phones for communication, maybe an old dumb Nokia that can make calls+texts, has no internet access, is practically indestructible, and isn't a theft magnet might be a better option than a smartphone?
The people mad about climate are mad that other people won't accept any changes.
a good internet connection and a gym subscription
Those people who rule by power have been defeated with logic! Now smoke comes out of them and they shut down, like evil computers on Star Trek.

Also, if we're talking about logic, to "stoppopulationdecline" when population almost never declines anywhere doesn't make sense. preventpopulationdecline?
But that is just bad programming and not something inheritently wrong with filters.
> The time is ripe to explore what can make “work” work, so that coming back to the office is more attractive.

The time is ripe for both sides to explore what it is they pay money for... it's to get shit done which they in turn get paid money for.

Offices, and the fragile egos of managers who want to be understood to have a proprietary relationship with the workers that justifies their own elevated position and pay, are not required to get shit done.
You can substitute “fertility” for “control” in this comment.
>It's their money, however they extracted it

Except, it's really not. Taking aside the fact that being a billionaire is fundamentally immoral and that it necessarily caused the misery of hundreds if not thousands, it's not _just_ their money. It's your money when it's going to come to plugging in the electrical grid, because you know they're going to ask for assistance. After all, it's built, and the state wouldn't want the bad publicity of being the ones that refuse to kickstart a brand new future city, right ? It's going to be your money for sewage systems, for pipes, for road maintenance. It's your society they're damaging by abusing the justice system to bully and sue farmers out of the land. It's going to be your environment when they have to pump water and dry out your rivers, your lakes, leaving fewer for everyone else. It's going to be your environment when chronically irresponsible VCs dump chemicals because they know the EPA will need ten years to come at them. It's going to be your national security when the Travis Air Force base receives complaints and pressures to close down because they're being too noisy next to the city. It's going to be your environment when they have to water a whole city in the middle of an almost desert.

>We don't know how to maintain things, we don't really know how to refactor and fix the laws we have, either because of entrenched interests, inherent racism, or a lack of willpower.

So the solution, instead of trying out small scale experiments that will help you build a proper city of the future is to just build a whole city in one go and hope it works out ? The people that are blocking you from maintaining things _are_ the ones building this. Andreeseen is in those investors, the same piece of shit that blocked construction of thousands of houses because it would "devalue his investment". He's not doing this to improve _your_ life.

> let the rest of the world take our best experiments and make their little socialist utopias

The rest of the world is not socialist, and you know it.

>somehow pragmatic place.

There is nothing pragmatic about the US. There's a very small subset of extremely powerful and wealthy ramming their decisions through everything, destroying lives in the process and counting on the state to be too slow to react, or slow enough that when they do, they're already entrenched anyways.
> Clipboard on Android already does what I want.

AFAIK, the only way to get a clipboard that syncs across devices on Android requires installing 3rd party software on both devices. I could be wrong. If you don't need to copy/paste between a phone and laptop/desktop, this of course won't matter to you, but it's very useful for me. Not having to think about it is icing on the cake.

> And email is no better on iOS

Agreed. Mac/iOS email client is hot garbage, but since I use Gmail, it doesn't really matter what platform I'm on.

> iOS I can only use one browser with different skins.

You can install Chrome, Firefox, Opera, et al. on iOS...? Not sure if I understand your point. That said, I switched to Safari on the laptop purely because Netflix has nerfed HD playback on Chrome, and 720p wasn't cutting it for me. The slightly better battery life and less memory consumption is a plus. Since I was using it on the laptop, it made sense to keep using it on the phone as well so sessions and history could be shared.

I don't exactly love Safari, but I like it well enough that combined with the aforementioned benefits, it works for me.
Huge fan of everything Daishi builds, especially Jotai. Will definitely keep an eye on this.
Typical "legacy application situation where no team is assigned to" here. At least I've never seen in my 15+ year career a legacy application, which has a very good maintenance/testing model in place. It will just not work because maintenance/testing needs also resources and updates, but if priorities are in different places then it's not possible. Of course as stated already multiple times - things could have handled in better ways, but this doesn't mean that Google should not allow to stop release at least. Anyway, lessons learned.
Wow, thanks for pointing this out. This is horrible journalism.
The energy cost of direct air capture is about overcoming the entropy of CO2 being dispersed in the air and not about breaking the C=O bonds so if you had a good enough DAC system and the ratio of CO2 captured/produced is favorable you could fuel DAC from carbon fuels, it is even more favorable if you capture pure CO2 right at the point of combustion.

As for solar the real problem is that it is not available everywhere, battery storage doesn’t seem impossible to run the grid but it is not a bird in the hand just yet. The folks at terraform have looked at the problem of cost-optimizing e-Fuel production from DAC and electrolysis and if you are solar powered you delete all the storage and decide to trade off energy efficiency for capital efficiency, in particular the least-cost electrolyzer is less efficient that is possible but cheaper to build than a least-cost electrolyzer that runs 24 hours.
I think the population decline we should worry about is in terms of quality not quantity. Humans are not an endangered species in terms of population size.

We need less people who are empty on the inside and try to fill their void through compulsive overconsumption and traveling and stuff like that.

If you are not good enough without the traveling and overconsumption in whatever frame of reference you establish, you are not enough with those things either.

BTW, did I just repurpose a quote from Cool Runnings? Yes, I did.
Not in the compiler but in the package manager.

It's actually just the Debian name for the architecture.
China could try to address its fertility collapse by soliciting sperm and egg donations from compatible patents and then ‘make’ babies by hiring a great number of surrogate mothers either in China or abroad in Africa.

This may not be solely confined to China, of course, and may be adopted in other places with low or negative TFR. Other Asian and European nations have the same problem and immigration seems to be turning into politically contentious.
> No parent's agenda is for their child to be kicked around by another kid.

The consequence is that every parent, given a scenario where they feel their kid is being kicked around, will remove their kid from that situation.

That's not a healthy absolute either.
average chatGPT copy paste.
I don’t think the price is particularly good. Even if we value the domain at $30 per year, that still leaves $350 per year for hosting and support.

I’d expect to be able to host a bunch of century Wordpress sites for very very cheaply, provided you locked down plugin installation (I don’t see how third party plugins could possibly work on sites expected to be that long-lived). Without plugins they’re a known security and upgrade profile, and I expect traffic on 99.95% of them to be effectively nil or highly cacheable.

Support is a bit harder to quantify, but I still would expect that most sites will just quietly chug along and support events will be rare (and again, you’re supporting a very well-known software profile).

To that end the price feels a bit outlandish to me.
Not really surprised. But does any self-respecting person listen to these three bozos anymore? I'd be surprised.
It’s a legitimate use of anger to be angry about something and use that emotion to motivate change.
Is there any evidence that superficial anxiety correlates to actual stress level? I think it's not that simple, at least it can't be measured simply by interviewing I believe.
