> it's not the only platform hosting videos for free.

You're only looking at this from your own point of view. The content producers are looking for monetization options, and youtube is the only game. Nebula might be sufficient for some small amount of content producers, but it's unlikely to hit mainstream, and not enough people want to pay.

It's unfortunate, but ads are the only game in town on the internet atm.
I can be a petty individual at times, and the thing that convinced me to never pay a cent to youtube was their removing the ability for the app to continue to play the clip in the background when switching to another app or locking the phone.

I listen to news and podcast-esque things in the car going to work or school drop-off / pick-up, on the way to sport etc. I'd begrudgingly tolerate the ads if the app background-played but it doesn't without paying for premium. I'm somewhere on an "entitlement" scale here, but background-play being a premium feature really feels like it's stretching the friendship.

So... alternative front-end it is. Great experience and no ads to boot.
This is starting to become a competitive field and I have no idea how to compare these tools really. Seems like most of them are some kind of gpt variant in skins.

I’m looking forward to being able to form opinions on AI models at some point, but I’m not there yet. I can only try them and see how well they work, but as yet have no objective basis of comparison.

I’m sure folks more entrenched in the research are better equipped…

Where do you think work from home workers would be driving to? Most public transit is for work commutes.

I work from home.

My car sits for so long, yard debris collects around the tires.

I have been able to push off a new car purchase because I rarely drive anymore. That alone is a huge saving for the environment.
My mistake - I was reading the RISC OS documentation and assumed that SWI &31 in RISC OS (not x86) was a hardware interrupt call and not something specific to RISC OS itself - apologies, middle of the night, brain fog!

Hi, founder of Invisible Computers here.

I think your questions are valid and not eye-rolling at all.

As for the app, you can find the Android APK here, so as long as you have or find an old Android device, you can sideload it anytime:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nnAHVm21FLKIAJ4kTmz6Q0D9Zk4...

But there is another dependency that you haven't mentioned: The device requires a running backend with an API.

At the moment, my only answer to that is: "I'll keep it running even if it becomes uneconomical and I will then also open-source everything.".

But I am also intending to add a way to completely avoid the backend, which will require users to render the data in a specific format to the device.

Supporting this is totally worth the effort for me. If only to put my own mind at ease a bit!
But, and there I have to be honest, I have limited resources to work on things. There are other features that I feel are very pressing as well. And so I cannot promise when I will find the time to implement this.
Hahah, I assume you've seen the OOP implementation? Quite a thing. I believe it was added when OOP was in fashion.
Actually, YouTube as a service holds quite a bit value for me, so I am happily paying for premium subscription, which removes ads and also gives access to YouTube Music.
Ah yes just choose it. Like you can just choose to be rich. Just do X or Y! Easy!

Good god, so many people here are basically being manifestation coaches. “Just believe you are rich and the universe will make sure you are!”.
"configuring a Linux base image for a specific server role" or "setting up a complex cloud environment from scratch"

^^^^^^^

I don't know if you have experience working this kind of thing but these processes have a single desired outcome and multiple undesired outcomes. They can break in many different ways and they do break more often than desired.

One simple case related to setting up a Linux instance is when you want to have the "latest and greatest" python libraries without even checking if the stable versions of an LTS distribution would actually suit you. You end up with a huge list of things from pip, a list that sometimes breaks (even with fixed versions) and where security updates do not guarantee retro-compatibility. One day it works, next day it doesn't.

Your process has more entropy than necessary and is less reproducible than desired.

If instead of a server instance you have a docker image that is rebuilt in a CICD pipeline, you have the same problem but blocking an entire team that is expecting CICD to work all the time.

This is just a single point of failure of many others that can coexist: a "corporate" transparent proxy with cache, an unreliable DNS server, a security appliance that interferes with downloads, etc.

As for rebuilding cloud environments you really have to go through it to see how entropy scales with complexity. I could write a couple of pages about it.. and about how people are actually building cloud snowflakes. Here is a short take:

There are extensions that mark these "premium" ads and let you skip them.
> there’s no point in generalizing when discussing things like teacher salary.

I bet there isn’t a single US public school district where teacher pay keeps pace with minimum wage when divided by the number of hours spent working.
This. And do they really expect employees to answer e-mails outside of working hours? To me e-mail is "slow" communication - if you need an answer right now, use a different channel.
Seems like your problem is more with the venerable 6502 itself rather than the compiler. Most of that assembly code is spent calculating the offsets inside the Ball struct, which must be done at 16 bits of resolution in every case. The compiler's using the indirect indexed (zero page address with Y offset) 6502 addressing mode to get at all the fields in your struct. It has placed all the variables in zero page, so no instruction is more than two bytes long; additionally, the code in question is entirely linear, with no JSRs or other subroutines. Note in particular how it efficiently uses DEY/INY pairs of one byte instructions to get at low and high bytes of 16-bit memory. Hand-written assembly might be speedier, but not by much and still deal with all the corner cases that your generated code does. "While writing Apple BASIC for a 6502 microprocessor I repeatedly encountered a variant of Murphy's Law. Briefly stated, any routine operating on 16 bit data will require at least twice the code that it should." -Steve Wozniak
> One has to ask: Are my kin only kind to my efforts out of some sense of mutual support rooted in guilt if they don't respond?

I am not sure what you expect from your relatives... do you expect them to tell you objectively whether you're good? Are they experts guitar critiques?? Even if they were, do you think asking them for feedback would get you the most honest answer?

Do you have children? Would you tell them honestly if you thought they sucked? And "honestly" here is impossible, you'll be totally biased if you're like most parents and will probably actually believe your children are great even when most other people would disagree.

If you truly wanted actual feedback, you would seek that from your peers, not your mom. That can of course be brutal, but that's what you should really seek if you're interested in knowing just how good you are. Your peers can be unjust, of course (and if they're your friends, they will also be too biased or too embarrassed to give you real feedback)... but at least you have a better chance of knowing the truth, and hopefully where you need to improve, by asking people who actually know the stuff and been through the same journey as you're trying to embark on.

Finally, to know whether you were actually good is impossible, and as the article says, perhaps you just weren't as good as you thought and having people cheer you on out of pitty would just prolongue your illusion?!

I used to play as well, and it did come as a shock when I finally understood that I (and my band - except one of the guys who went on to become moderately successful years later, and is still a professional musician) just weren't very good compared to the big bands getting more success than us, and that perhaps that outcome was not actually unfair at all.
Yeah I thought it made sense more in the context of this conversation.

Videotaping is one thing, publishing that is another. If I were a member of staff at a company during a rough point, and had to make a tough speech, I might be upset if it came out later. In some jurisdictions, releasing it would likely be a privacy violation, unless consent was obtained first.
Surprised this wasn’t about how Vincent Van Gogh’s tragic life (and that of his brother who owned almost all of Vincent’s artwork) was turned into a mega blockbuster.
We have to delineate between environmental entropy and the entropy within the system. As about adding entropy, every action has effects which can simultaneously both decrease entropy in one variable while increasing in another.

Any system's future state is not entirely predictable. We determine actions and their impact on current entropy while taking decisions.
Can you expect to leave a real 64 on for days or weeks and it will stay up?

Yes. These early computers found their way into various embedded control applications too, and I suspect there's quite a few C64s still in operation that way; they would've been replaced long ago if they weren't stable. An article occasionally appears when someone discovers this:

That's a good shout, actually.
It is actually pretty decent. Since GNOME ~40 the desktop is pretty much out of your way and a joy to use imho.
I imagine the base messages are in a single store. But then you have reactions, attachments, gifs, user profiles, and probably hundreds of custom integrations/plugins.

Having worked on other messaging apps, these are usually separated because their performance/scalability requirements are different
I am hoping to add third party apps, that's why I have created the API for 3rd party apps:

https://github.com/Invisible-Computers/image-gallery/blob/ma...

But right now, I understand that building an app for my platform is

a) more hassle than just pointing to a URL

b) limited upside, because the audience that you can charge for a subscription isn't very big yet.

However, I think that a good app could generate its own audience (aka drive ppl to buy the displays) and then make money by charging them a small monthly subscription fee.

You're not imagining it! The ads slow down webOS a lot, and blocking them with pi-hole made my TV much more usable. I highly recommend setting up pi-hole or similar, and blocking all the LG domains it tries to hit.

"Understanding the Correlation Between Oil and Currency" (2022) <https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/092415/oil-curre...>

Dollarised oil payments system, US dollar as global reserve currency, balance-of-payments, US access to global credit, control and centralisation over international payments systems such as SWIFT.

Non-dollarised oil payments arise every few years, and usually seem to rapidly become less attractive to all parties. The US is seen as having a strong interest in preventing widespread emergence.
The said ability also exists in a premium subscription. So what you effectively saying is that YouTube offers you a valuable feature, but you refuse to pay for it.
Home schooling seems so harmful to socialization and such a vehicle for teaching ridiculous nonsense (or just not really teaching much of anything at all) that I think the countries that make it illegal have the right idea. It's even more egregious that some states are, apparently, actually throwing money at completely unregulated "micro-schools" where you are taught by someone with no qualifications whatsoever.

Piped is a great web-based service, but since tvOS does not support web browsers on the Apple TV, to block YouTube ads, you either have to stream Piped videos to the Apple TV from another Apple device using AirPlay screen mirroring or use a workaround like the one described in TFA.

I'm using NewPipe (https://newpipe.net) on Android TV which provides an ad-free YouTube experience just like the Android phone version of NewPipe. Piped would also work on an Android TV browser like TV Bro (https://github.com/truefedex/tv-bro).

The legitimacy of ad blocking is well-established. People have been using DVRs, VHS players, and tape recorders to capture and consume ad-free broadcasts for decades.
While Nebula has some creators om it that I follow, no platform comes close to having the broad collection of channels YouYube does.

I follow a wide variety of channels, but there are maybe a dozen to 20 that I would consider essential. Maybe 3-4 are on Nebula.

I think for a lot of viewers and creators, YouTube is simply inevitable at this point.
> macOS doesn't handle environment setup like any 'normal' (Linux or *BSD) Unix. On normal Unices, your login shell actually also launches your graphical user session, so to configure a session-wide environment variable, you just set it in your shell startup somewhere.

That's no longer true for Linux, at least. GDM launches stuff via systemd user sessions, which do not source your profile.
What you mean by plenty of us? Do we have some data points?
> removing the ability for the app to continue to play the clip in the background when switching to another app or locking the phone.

Do you know that the paid version has this exact feature? This is a limitation of the ad-supported version, because advertisers are paying to actually have people watch their ad.
You don't see how the choice to voluntarily socially isolate your kid might strain your relationship with them?
I second that the hackability of using a tool written in an interpreted language is a huge advantage, but Jekyll can be darn slow and with Hugo (written in Go), the need for plugins is actually quite low in my experience - thanks to "shortcodes", Go templating, and render hooks.

If you want to customize the Markdown parser or similar, it requires to change the Go code and compile everything yourself, which is not great especially from a maintenance perspective. But I wonder, would it be possible to add more extension points and then only compile plugins written in Go instead of the full source code of the tool plus your modifications? IIRC, Go does support something akin to shared libraries but not cross-platform.

> Hiragana being far more useful to know starting out, if you had to pick one.

Before visiting Japan, I learned to read in both Hiragana and Katakana, but I didn't really know more than a dozen or so words in Japanese. While visiting Japan, I found Katakana to be a lot more useful, because it's commonly used and often is just English words converted to Japanese letters. I think all my Hiragana reading abilities were completely useless as I couldn't tell what I was reading.

> But for the sake of those that aren't, maybe let's leave them be and not raze to the ground what's emerged as a stand-in for actual social support and strong kinship ties?

Who is that "we" that could raze social media pity to the ground? In places infested by fake beggars we don't hold council meetings where we decide to stop giving them money.

When I see that my compassion is being taken advantage of, I become less compassionate. Chances are, so do you. Social media pity won't be destroyed by those that complain about it. It'll be destroyed by those that abuse it.

I want to make a version with a battery. But I don't know when I will get this done. My goal is to make it last at least half a year. 6 months I think is the minimum standard for a thing that is supposed to hang on the wall and not be a hassle to babysit.

A battery adds a lot of complexity and cost for testing, certification and shipping. And it adds another failure mode.
So I decided against it for the current version.
I've used both for extensive periods and even with the rm2's low storage, I vastly prefer it. The Elipsa's hand-writing experience was just awful - not just laggy but non-deterministically so, their sync/export was clunky, their updates were sometimes buggy (e.g. the recent addition of GDrive import and broken export, the works-now-won't-work-again Overdrive and Pocket integration), and the ad-ridden home page. By contrast, the rm2 is heavenly and it just works well - I was never the journaling type but the rm2 manages to extract a lot of writing out of me daily because of how awesome it is. Re. the rm2 pricing, I believe it has gotten a lot cheaper since its release - 400+usd vs 300usd now, afaik; I use an aftermarket pen with it (staedtler noris jumbo). I use the rm2 for work and for personal stuff and I love it; the elipsa sits idle and powered off.

I remembered it happen in a very strange way when I studied calculus. I had a hard time to remember the integration rules and how to apply them. Spent a lot of time on it. But at one point I had a dream where integrals came "flying in" like in a computer game, and I solved them one after another, just like I can solve 1+1 without hesitation. Whether I really solved them or this was just imagined is of course the core question. But the dream was so detailed and crisp, and I felt so conscious in it, that I think I may actually have done that. It was a feeling I very rarely have felt ever before.
Given that neither Facebook nor Google can appropriately police the content of their own ad networks (to the extent that they're the two biggest purveyors of malware and scams on the internet - in this rando's opinion), there is no moral argument against blocking ads.

In fact, not blocking internet advertising is a security risk.

If they get their house in order my opinion may change, but there's currently no business reason for them to change their existing lax systems; no pressure or threat from regulation to hold them liable for what they allow on their advertising networks.

Aliens might live on a planet without a large moon but it’s pretty unlikely for their planet to be the only object in orbit around their star. The easy way to measure the Earth-Sun distance today is to use radar to precisely measure our distance from Venus and triangulate our position from that. Aliens with radar could do the same trick using other objects in their home planetary system.

But even before radar, we had parallax methods for figuring this stuff out. Radar just brings the error down into the low parts-per-billion territory.

> 1. Parents are not the only ones who push their own desires and beliefs. Thought experiment: how many members of the group that decides the curriculum vote Republican or Independent? Scuttlebutt (unverified by me) is that most folks in US schools and on US school boards are Democrats. Regardless of one’s opinion on political matters, that (if true) would suggest a certain uniformity of thought, and the likely presence of a conscious or unconscious agenda that would then get passed on, deliberately or otherwise, in the resulting curriculum.

Have you taken a look at the news anytime in the past year? "Republicans don't have any influence on school curriculums" is a wild departure from easily observable reality, so much so that I think it kind of renders this comment beneath serious consideration.

That's not GP's argument though, they said driverless cars _are_ public transit.
I can't recall the last time I saw a busker in a private space like a mall or airport.

While not buskers per se, a lot of private spaces hire musicians to play in their spaces to provide entertainment or background music. Many airports I've been to have someone on a piano playing in a corner

I've also seen places like trainstations where they have a licensing system. IE you audition, apply for a license and then get given a spot and a time slot when you can busk.
That's a way to look at it, and another way to look at it is this:

I already pay Google much more than I care to and am willing to in the form of my privacy and personal data because of the ubiquitious surveillance that Google performs on as many people as they possibly can.

If I could cut Google out of my life I would do it in an instant, but I can't because they won't allow it. In lieu of that I take whatever I can from them.
