The income has to come from somewhere. All new businesses will probably operate at a loss for some length of time. Sure, maybe if they forced ads earlier on, in an effort to be a profitable division earlier another competitor would have arisen.

Whoever wins the online video site thing contest is going to end up making money one of two ways, subscriptions or ads. Idk that it makes a lot of sense to me to be mad at Google about it. If not them, some VC or something would have just taken the hit instead.
Yeah I do pull the curtains down to watch tv during the day. Don’t care too much since I rarely have time when the sun’s up. At night it’s absolutely stunning when the content's right.
It is good exercise to build things to solve your own problems. You might validate the "Would other people have this problem as well?" question but "Would they pay for it?" is a separate question.

In theory you have a lead funnel for your project. The wider end is people who might find it interesting and check it out. Narrower, closer in, are the people who might use your project regularly. Even narrower is the section of people who might pay for a thing.

You invest your time into a thing, and pay in that way. So there is at least one person, at least part of the time in the "Paying customer" category. The more compelling your product, and the more value you get from it ( As the primary user model ) the more likely others will find that they might also pay for it.

It is not wrong to build things to solve your own problems, its a quick feedback loop for your customer ( you ).

But if you want to build to make money, you might find a problem that you identify with personally among a group of motivated problem-havers, and solve that.
I don't want advertising tracking me. I don't want advertising introducing products I don't want. I want advertising to let me choose what advertising I want to see.

I want to see advertising promoting environmental friendly products. I want advertising to promote cleaning up litter, but you don't see that do you? We have the tech.

Advertising, a blood sucking evil exploitive parasite.

I would turn off all blockers if they didn't play with PsyOp strategies of evil manipulative social exploits. Exploits that are replayed on kids, you and us. Of such that Google promotes on their network.

If advertising was clean, did not impeach on my privacy and just kept advertising to "just this video" I wouldn't block advertising. But they don't, wont.

They are vermin, evil parasites. But you don't see that do you?
Even if they try to prevent that, with a modified client, you can skip anywhere in a video and there's nothing they can do about it.
That is a great paper! Yes, from my engineering school I know if we dig deep enough, it would all be thermodynamics. But I was not sure if anyone dig that deep yet. This paper seems to be deeper than what I thought was done. Strange how I didn't see it, seems very relevant especially with all the LLM rage these days.
That's certainly one way to admit profiting off of America's obesity epidemic. Although I guess everyone already knew Walmart profited off it anyways.

Happy to help if you have any questions.
Pancreatitis is already a listed side effect of GLP-1 agonists, right?
>There is also a version of PyTorch that uses AMD ROCm, an open-source software stack for AMD GPU programming. Crossing the CUDA moat for AMD GPUs may be as easy as using PyTorch.

Unfortunately since the AMD firmware doesn't reliably do what it's supposed to those ROCm calls often don't either. That's if your AMD card is even still supported by ROCm: the AMD RX 580 I bought in 2021 (the great GPU shortage) had it's ROCm support dropped in 2022 (4 years support total).

The only reliable interface in my experience has been via opencl.

...why couldn't Ethiopians build an AWS rival? Google can't build an AWS rival because (ultimately) AWS already exists in the market and has economies of scale. If Ethiopia banned AWS I cannot think of a single reason a cloud hosting provider with perhaps smaller data centers due to the smaller size of the market would show up in Ethiopia.
Anecdotal experience - Good friend of mine who struggles with weight was taking Ozempic for about two months.

He described nausea quite often when I saw him but the results were pretty astounding.

He then hit a wall where gastroparesis would happen quite often and I happened to be at his house when one of these bouts got very severe. He went from feeling bad, to hunched over in pain and started projectile vomiting in the span of 30 minutes. He said it was clearly the meal he had eaten several days ago...it was awful.

I believe this happened to him several more times - and AFAIK he stopped taking it, and promptly regained some weight back.

Do you have thoughts and opinions on the various options for Windows desktop development? I would be curious to know, I am starting to work on a Windows desktop app. I am assuming that the first, MVP-style, attempt will be using Electron.

Development of ISO 22028-5: Colour encodings for HDR images (2022) [pdf]
the main problem is that there needs to be someone in charge of waking up your thread when it's ready, and also to run it. in your case you don't need the run part. But the waking part is tied to what the future is: a busy polling loop, a sleeping select, an io_uring; in fact it can be anything. You can manually make a future that returns immediately or sleeps forever. The rest of your code has no way to know these implementation details.

Are we still talking about Nobel peace prizes here?

Even Obama got one.
Untrue. Most of the buildings were predominantly empty most of the time, even in MPK and FRE. Many of the remote buildings were ghost towns. After the closure of multiple buildings and eateries, some floors of some of the buildings became quite full. Ironically, I did shared desks in a building that was absolutely jammed full of non-engineers who literally sat around and socialized all day loudly.
Obama getting the Nobel peace price was when I realised what a big political joke the whole thing is (and I admire Obama!).

It is very clear that it is just another political tool used by the west - Gandhi did not get the award because the British government lobbied hard against him. Imagine, the man who advocated for peaceful political resolutions throughout his life, who was the architect of the non-violent political movement that inspired 100's of millions in his own country and other foreign leaders to embrace it too for their local political cause, is considered "not worthy" of the very thing that this "Peace" prize seeks to bestow recognition upon.

The founders of the Non-Aligned Movement also deserved the peace prize for refusing to get involved in the cold war politics (a very black and white way of looking at international politics). I am sure there are many more good examples, around the world, of people who deserved this prize but weren't seriously considered (or deliberately omitted) because of western politics.
I have thought of this before.

But it isn't really the same. Drugs, the really bad ones will probably ruin your life or kill you in the space of two or three years.

Web applications. If it is at all possible to make it a a web application why mess around with anything else? The other day I was struggling with "How the hell do I tell Android users how to find a QR code that really works in the play store" and then it hit me... Web based QR code reader and done!

It can be depressing that you have 20 electron applications running to put icons in the tray but heck... everybody wants to stuff icons in your tray and most of those x-platform frameworks can't make a tray icon. I did an evaluation of a whole bunch of x-platform frameworks and they all sucked, though I do like JavaFX best of all. There's a reason why Electron is as big as it is.
Windows struggles with HiDPI?
I mostly use Linux but still have some Win-7 PCs and I'll never upgrade them. That said, I've tried ReactOS over the years but it's hardly even in alpha it's so incomplete. If it were usable I'd certainly use it.

In my mind ReactOS conjures images of building the pyramids with a team of three—completion date estimate sometime between forever and eternity. Never has there ever been a software project that's been so long in gestation and still going nowhere.

Unfortunately, I've given up on ReactOS but what I'd really love to know is why it's taken so long. Given the long saga of Windows and of MS's abuse of its users—many of whom are annoyed and disgruntled because they've little or no option but to continue to use Windows—then you'd think there'd be an almighty rush to develop a Windows clone. But no, there's stuff-all interest and it's always been so.

I'd go as far to say the failure of ReactOS is one of the strangest and most curious events to occur in software history. One perhaps can understand why ReactOS was never developed in the US or even any Western country but why hasn't say Russia or China or other ex-Eastern Bloc countries thrown money into its development (seeing that much of its development already comes from that part of the world)? You'd reckon there'd even be both a strategic and financial advantage for these countries (as there was during the Cold War when they threw huge sums into developing an alternative source of tech).
How 'AlphaZero' can we get with high level AI?
It used to be lots of boilerplate. Like

MyClassType myClassType = new MyClassType()

And then it was nice to use an IDE to help write some of that. Or generate java beans etc.

But with that said, I don't think it's much you need an IDE for, it's more that java enables IDEs to do much more than it can for certain other languages.

I used MS-DOS since 1.25, but I kinda wish I'd instead been using Unix all that time.

MS-DOS had much better video games, but I didn't much play those. Overall, the things I did do would've been better on Unix, and I would've gotten plugged into that scene earlier. (When I finally got access to Unix workstations, I sold my PC, and never again used another MS box at home.)

The supply problem is solved by people wanting more than the basics. Most people would rather have more than just the bare minimum guaranteed by the UBI.

Farmers, construction workers, nurses, teachers, etc. will have more money to spend than people who don't want to do anything at all. They'll be able to afford things that we already know are desirable: travel, entertainment, more diverse foods, etc.

Government should not have to coordinate production of most of those things. Ordinary supply and demand should handle it. UBI just puts a thumb on the scale: it ensures that the "demand" for the basics of life is matched by the economist's understanding of demand (measured in money). That avoids the mismatch of people who have infinite desire for food (because they're starving) but no money (because they cannot work), without having to make arbitrary decisions about who is too disabled to work.

The resulting balance of labor will be very different from now, to be sure. Some people will choose not to work entirely, though probably fewer than you might expect. Some jobs that are currently low paid because they require low skills will increase in cost because they're unpleasant. That strikes me as fair: we need people to clean toilets and it's not a good thing that it's the lowest-paid job.

That will cause other jobs to decrease in salary to compensate. Probably us computer programmers, to start with, along with movie stars and CEOs and other people who basically get to suck up all of the available cash in the system for somehow being uniquely desirable.

I'm utopianizing here, and I don't mean to oversimplify what will undoubtedly be a very complex and different kind of economy. But my point is that plain old capitalism accounts for those "second order effects" to ensure that supply exists for the basics. Even though people's basic needs are met, there is plenty of indication that actual people want more stuff and are willing to work for it.
Anecdotal sample of one here: since starting the treatment a year ago, I have hardly set foot in a fast food restaurant, and my visits to other food establishments have been reduced by 75% at minimum. Grocery shopping has been more mindful and smaller in size. The impact on my desire or even ability to consume food beyond the base metabolic necessity is real.
If you're going to make claims with such authority, please have the correct information. Sure Al-Qaeda was formed after the Soviet withdrawal, but it consisted of very members that US and Pakistan (ISI) helped in their fight against Soviet union, including Osama Bin Laden.

Yeah, I can see how that'd be helpful. In my case, I suspect this is happening inside a third-party library I'd rather not have to vendor/patch extensively. So that method could confirm my suspicion but probably wouldn't easily allow me to drill down as far as I'd like.

That said, I think the newest version of the third-party library might have some middleware hooks and/or tracing spans. With the right middleware impl / tracing subscriber, maybe I could accomplish something similar.

This code also should be following the general distributed systems practice of setting deadlines/timeouts at the top level of each incoming request, propagating through to all dependent requests, and also setting timeouts on background ops. It's not. Fixing that is also on my list and might be enlightening...

I cancelled YT premium because it would still show me ads while using chromecast sometimes. 100% chance they will start showing ads to premium users if they actually manage to shut down ad blockers. Just like cable TV does. Pay for the service, watch ads half the time anyway.
Kotlin is the closest thing to a "better Java" that I've found. I've used it with Spring Boot and the interoperability with Java is fantastic. A Java dev would have no problem picking it up quickly (as opposed to Clojure and even Scala).

I say this as a Clojure fan, there are many instances where I'd probably choose Kotlin nowadays. You can also mix JVM languages within the same application; I've found it rather useful to sprinkle some Clojure into a Java/Spring application for certain tasks. Maven and Gradle both have tooling to handle it :)
When I think of a black and white apple in the context you described, vs. a red or green one, there's a difference. The way you've explained it makes me feel like we're similar, and I'm definitely putting too much emphasis on visual.

My sister, though, said when she thinks of something in her mind it's "blurry like [she doesn't] have glasses on", which sounds highly visual.

I'm wondering if it's more about semantics and a tomato/tomato like thing -- technically anything we visualize is calling up a memory, or at made up of various components from memory.
Yes, that’s why:

https://stage.color.org/hdr/07-Nicolas_Bonnier.pdf (slide “Motivations”):

> Several attempts to use PQ/HLG and BT.2020 for still photography are surfacing

> But so far, the digital still imaging industry has not settled on a reference HDR/WCG image encoding for consumers

> The purpose of TS 22028-5 is to provide requirements and guidelines for HDR/WCG colour encoding of still images

And a bit further down, referring specifically to BT.2100:

> Shall use ITU-R BT.2020/2100-2 colour primaries
Impossible to know.
I've also heard that Ozempic was good for the GDP, so mixed bag.
> Do you think my preference for my wife to be a homemaker is wrong

Yes! It's totally fine for your wife to want to be a homemaker. But if you're asking for a world where economic necessity forces her into being one, I totally think there's a moral shade to that preference. (Even if it's simply a preference.)

(Clarification: "wrong" as in unethical. I don't think you're a bad person for having that preference. Far from it, I think you're thinking of your kids.)

> this kind of thing will force some women into the workforce

Is there evidence of this in Luxembourg, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Germany or Portugal [1]?

Keep in mind that plenty of women are forced out of their careers to take care of their kids. Adding them back into the economy boosts productivity (whatever they were doing is likely more productive than raising only their own kids, systemically). Taxes from that productivity alone may be the missing variable that balances the equation to not force those who truly choose to stay at home into a profession to keep up with COL.

> "American exceptionalism" is never used to mean "incompetence" or "less than..". It is always used to mean that we are better than others. We are not. In many ways we are far worse. In some ways we are far worse.

"Exceptionalism" means "distinctive", not "better". The suggestion that America may be "better" because it is "exceptional" is a belief based on its hypothetical uniqueness, and it is not generally implied. One can argue for American exceptionalism on several fronts, but leave the positiveness of the concept up for debate, as many scholars and academics have done.

> Sadly, in the US, when we have a disaster of some kind, people turn into mobs that destroy property and steal everything they can. They will break into homes and burn down business districts. It's sad to watch. And it is very real.
> In Japan (and other nations), that simply does not happen. At all.

Well, this is a straight up lie. Not even a good one.

Riots in Europe are more frequent than in the US. Americans seem to have forgotten how to protest, or even that they have the right to do so. It wasn't that long ago that Paris burnt for weeks, a French tradition that they like to recreate every couple years or so. Between 2019 and 2021 there were dozens of riots in Spain, sparked from separatist movements. Police and protesters staged a battle in Leipzig this same year around June.

> We cannot compare this nation to other nations. We cannot compare any two nations. Things that work elsewhere do not work here. There are cultural, legal and governmental differences everywhere.

Again, most developed nations have socialized, universal, single payer healthcare systems.

It works everywhere. It does, that is a fact.

Your belief is that politics in the US are so different than everywhere else, that socialized healthcare cannot work. But let's call it what it is: a belief.

And in the meantime, you would rather keep the same system that made you pay ~2x as much as any other industrialized nation back in 2010.

> Obamacare is, perhaps, the largest crime ever perpetrated against the people of this nation.

Hyperbole this dumb doesn't deserve further answers.
Unless they want to completely break the ability to seek in the video timeline, regardless of ad placements, that's not going to work.
solving or working around software issues is for some reason more satisfying than fighting intentionally disabled, non documented, functions.
> It is obvious there is much more attention and criticism on Iran than other regimes you are not supposed to care, and you don't even need to look very far.

Everyone always acts like it's some kind of conspiracy that their most-hated governments don't get sufficient criticism or that their favorite governments get more than a fair share of criticism.
I have been waiting for someone to do this. Thank you. Submitting my apps soon!
That will affect a large number of users but if word gets out that this weird fork of Firefox[0] will allow them to view YouTube with no ads, Google is suddenly forced to enable browser attestation such that only versions of Chrome will allow people to use YouTube. That will likely affect those in the US but EU authorities sometimes like to curb these antitrust behaviors. I also get the feeling that such a change will cause them to lose American business to competitors. Amazon seems primed to start eating their lunch with Twitch; they would mostly need to start building and promoting more video on demand features.

0: It sends a "this is totally Chrome" user agent and possibly includes other APIs that YouTube will use.
