On average I have been shopping in a Walmart more than once a week for more than six years. So I saw the rollout of checkout cameras.

There's almost certainly facial recognition and radio frequency thumbprinting involved in the whole process of shrinkage mitigation because:

1. The first systems I saw had a camera pointed at me and a display showing that image. There are still some of these systems deployed, but the more recent one's don't show a selfie shot...but I am not naive enough to believe my face isn't being captured.

2. I take my phone in the store with me. A big box store has some properties similar to a faraday cage, yet the cellular signal is strong enough to suggest internal hotspots. Walmart would be foolish not to try to negotiate data access with providers. Walmart is not foolish and has the leverage to negotiate such a relationship...I mean they even sell cell phone plans in their stores.

3. I use the Walmart app in the store to find things on my list because all Walmarts are little different. So Walmart has my exact location and ID.

4. All of this data gets validated when I pay by credit card.

5. And of course there are cameras in the parking lot and my van has a license plate.

A privacy nightmare? No more than the rest of the world. This stuff goes on everywhere there is sufficient technology 24/7 for far less reasonable reasons.

Though YMMV of course.
>I understand your situation can be incredibly stressful, but have you been evaluated by a mental health professional?

Yes -- part of the issue was here was that the local health care monopoly doesn't really have a vested interest in helping, since the candidate I got elected immediately went through

>t might be the case that getting a handle on this, esp. if it comes to a medical intervention, might be a good first step. Also just a note, the mention of "hard drugs"... if you're doing anything w/ THC I would stop that immediately as it can greatly exacerbate symptoms.

I've had the opposite experience -- THC helps when alaprazolam (which I had a script for) -- but if you accept a medical card, people start interacting in ways I hadn't encountered since the 90s.

I was told I should get a job, avoid my family but... the HN crowd didn't help, so I have days like today where I have too much caffeine and it comes off as much more mentally ill.

(I had been told I'd be starting as a dishwasher on Monday. Someone yanked the offer. I'd have preferred to take a xanax or a joint, and instead I ended up pouding tea and reading to wait for the rain to pass... kind of a least worse decision)

I actually got the original medical card via a therapist.

Again, this is a situation where folks gamify my ability to make good decisions.

It's shitty, and extortionary, and makes me less sympathetic when folks spaz out like the tree of life guy did.

I’ve been paying for YouTube premium for a year now. It’s so agreeable to not have any ad or interruption when watching multiple videos in a row, on any of my device. I guess their nagging ended up working in my case…
I don't get it. If you watch YouTube and don't want ads, just... pay for a subscription? It's like one Big Mac meal a month or something.
Hot take as someone who pays for premium:

All the complaints about ads are true, they suck, but how is content you enjoy supposed to be created and distributed without money?

Just pay for premium, or use something like PeerTube.

It’s unfortunate, but you need to put your money where your mouth is.

I hate ads too, a lot. I think they should be banned, but in not smart enough to know what can replace those ads for folks who cannot afford premium subscriptions so they can also watch important educational and not so important entertaining content.
I'm not sure I'm following the scenario described, but I don't see how the debugging complexity is more difficult than at the crate level. Can you help me understand why this might be the case? I'm not sure what you're calling as division boundaries / pseudo-crates here (are you suggesting that the dependency tracking won't be fine-grained & trivial changes can cause false sharing or something else?).

Doing all this tracking correctly though across layers of compilers is tricky if you want to shoot for absolute optimal performance. At the limit for truly optimal behavior, you'd track all the input information the compiler used when generating code and map it back to the source level (i.e. did I inline function A into function B - then I need to regenerate function A if B changes, but if no inline then don't regenerate A), which can be hard as most compiler optimization passes are information destroying. So yeah, I don't doubt that whatever "practical" middle ground is found as a realistic implementation can be tricky to reason about, but I suspect it almost doesn't matter if done well because it'll always outperform what you would have done by hand as outlined in this post / do it for you for free in 90% of cases.
I get it with ublock but without sponsorblock too. They're AB testing.

I was given a hardware device by my bank to do my online banking. If they want to move to smartphones I expect them to provide me one of those as well.
I bet it's cheaper for a bunch of bored techies to figure out "loopholes" in whatever Google builds, than it is for Google to adapt.

That sort of asymmetry is why giant companies can't stamp out piracy as well.
For infrastructure, it does not matter if it is the government directly paying or not, either way it is society’s leaders deciding not to sufficiently invest.

And what is a “skilled” worker? Is it someone who has to use their hands (not on a keyboard) and work outdoors and evenings/nights/weekends, and has to do a job that cannot be done sitting in a chair?

Because for as long as I have been alive, I have seen many societies around the world not offer the rewards to go into that type of work, and instead offering comparatively high rewards for desk work.

I doubt Youtube cares about Sponsorblock. That isn't used to skip Youtube Ads, just content creator ad reads and such, that Google doesn't get any money from.
Yes, I've got my eye on those and am hopeful. Do you know of any meaty technical description of the programming model? All I've been able to find so far is fairly high level marketing material. At least for Tenstorrent Jim Keller has promised that the software stack will be open sourced, something I'm looking forward to.
I am not sure how this stance is effective, outside of market dominance, why care if users that cost them money to have quit?

I am not trying to be combative, it is a question in my mind, Why serve anything to users not participating in the economics that keeps the servers on?
I highly recommend "Managing Humans" by Michael Lopp. https://randsinrepose.com/

I read it several years into my management path and cringed when reading a few of the anecdotes realising I'd made the same mistakes.

The Rands' Leadership Slack is also a wealth of knowledge and advice.
That's interesting. I thought that, too, but recently I read that there's about another order of magnitude of bandwidth increase to squeeze out of coax yet. I didn't save the link though.
When YouTube stops working with ad blockers, assuming it cannot be circumvented, it will be the end of my YouTube-watching days. I already stopped using Reddit when they killed off Apollo. These companies are doing me a favour by removing these time wasting activities from my life.

I trialed YouTube Music recently, potentially willing to hand over my wallet, but the app is unimpressive.
I can pay the content creators directly.
yes, maybe Robin Greenfield too (note I didn't start this lifestyle trying to copy someone, for me it happened after some depression, I stopped spending money besides housing rent, and gradually enjoyed this new lifestyle, now sometimes I buy food, but still very minimal)
Maybe this is a hot take, but I'm perfectly happy to pay for YouTube premium. It supports the creators that I watch and I don't see ads. I'd like to think that it also covers my usage of the service. For the value I get from YouTube (and YouTube Music) it seems like a no brainer.

YouTube and the people making videos on YouTube are ad supported. If you don't want to pay, it seems awfully entitled to then complain that you can't get unlimited ad-free content, regardless of whether that's been possible historically.
If someone took away my ability to play youtube videos ad free and in the background as torture I’d crack in like 1 day.

I suspect as streamers raise prices and people reevaluate their spend a very popular option will be “youtube premium + one other streamer”
I'm no longer willing to, since I was harassed repeatedly when I did exactly as you describe.

I'm not going to pay to turn my phone on when I'm preparing for emigration.

It's been FOUR years. I can show you photos of my wounds, and photos of the laptop that was smashed. This is an economic issue, not a psychological issue.

Lack of reoccuring income, paired with years of only one job offer at a time after interviews masquarading as free consulting sessions.

What I need is a job, and a place to spend money from my job on rent.

(Right now, the only "drug" I'm using is caffeine... in the past, a small bit, then cannabis in the evening helped, but... Mike Folmer's people harassed me. You know who that is, if you're from PA.)

Are you willing to help with these things, now that I've explained how I tried the typical options?

This is why i subscribed to YouTube premium when it first came out. I knew this day would come. Google is the one sending the data. They can easily bake in unskippable ads for non subscribers if they really wanted to
More importantly, content creators get paid by Youtube.
Terrible name, makes it impossible to search on.

The problems start immediately when you realize it’s interchangeably called “Postgres”.

Executives are usually people of high rank in an organization who make decisions, manage operations, and overseeprojects - often for long-term strategic planning and execution - and have managerial and leadership tasks.

Yes, I think a deputy director does that, when the director is considered the top executive of the agency.

This appears to be an anti-whistleblower action.

The point is that if a user sees "last week" it's ambiguous. They DON'T KNOW that your libraries don't behave that way. All they see is "last week". Are you really not getting this?

Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube

It looks like you may be using an ad blocker.
Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide.
You can go ad-free with YouTube Premium, and creators can still get paid from your subscription.

Been getting this the last 2 days.
What's the use of Youtube Premium if videos will still be littered with sponsor blocks? I prefer to support my favorite creators using Patreon.
> All the complaints about ads are true, they suck, but how is content you enjoy supposed to be created and distributed without money?

From where do you take it that adsense revenue is the most major, most important revenue stream for YouTubers?

Most content creators make their income on sponsorships and their own brands.

Apart from that, it's not like content creators aren't starting their own streaming platforms. See Linus Tech Tips Floatplane for example.

Regarding the distribution of content: Google has been more than happy to carry YouTube's operating cost from their quasi-monopoly on internet ads. In return, users gave them more detailed advertising profiles through the use of YouTube.

I actually don't want to pay for premium. Google already gets my data - why should I pay for the privilege of handing it to them?
If they are collecting data atm maybe we should google “YouTube alternative” if the pop up occurs.
Regarding how the constraints are phrased: And then people say that LLMs/GPTs don't really understand! (I know, define understand and all that) and that's interesting compared to the often nonsensical prompts that AI image artists use. Which seem frequently nonsensical because not afraid to exploit current quirks.

It's not unfair: people working on the internals try and keep things clean and manageable. While users with no controls on the internals just slap together what they can that helps their result.

It's still fun.

For example "Sydney does not include images in the markdown responses because the chatbox doesn't support images." which seem part programming from the prompt and part providing reason text to present to the end user.
There are p2p exchanges that are legitimate and actually decentralized. They can easily convert their traceable bitcoin to untraceable Monero over a few years and they’ll have enough to live off of for years.

you request an URL, you can not specify what content that URL provides. This is not a new precedent or perspective. It's how Internet works. You can choose what the content owner chooses to let you choose. Try to choose the css attributes, font size or javascript functions that run inside an app in iOS for example to see how misguided your view of choice is.

Someone on another thread here about hiring in the ML/AI space bemoaned the fact that they mostly get applications from people who have dabbled with ML/AI on the side and very few applicants who have actual ML/AI work experience. But it seems like the ML/AI space is still nascent and growing rapidly - you're not going to find a lot of available people with ML/AI work experience. Given that ML/AI is where a lot of current hiring is maybe that's the reason for the hiring disconnect? If so hiring managers are going to have to start looking at people who have an interest and have done some self-learning in the field.
I was born in Pittsburgh. I was born in the late 80s.
the list would merit its own dedicated blog post but to highlight a few nice parts, ecto lets me write sql code in elixir. it does not try to wrap it all into objects but I do get schemas. so for instance I can create a schema `Player` which maps to a table "players"

I can then get them via
```
from(p in Player)
|> where([p], p.id in ^player_ids)
|> select([p], p)
|> Repo.all()

```

need to join with an association?

```

from(p in Player)
|> join([p], s in assoc(p, :scores), as: :score)
|> where([p], p.id in ^player_ids)
|> preload([p, score: s], [score: s])
|> select([p], p)
|> Repo.all()
```

this gets me all players with their scores.

need to get the sum of scores for all players?

```

from(p in Player)
|> join([p], s in assoc(p, :scores), as: :score)
|> where([p], p.id in ^player_ids)
|> select([p], %{
player_id: p.id,
score: sum(score.value)
})
|> group_by([p, score: s], [p.id])
|> Repo.all()
```

as you can see, you can unwind this pretty fast to sql in your head. but you can also let the system just grab the kitchen sink when you jsut need to get somethign working fast. and its all very easy to modify and decuple.

this is hardly exhaustive though, I could spend a day talking about ecto. I spent 8 years developing in nodejs but now I work exclusively in elixir. unless what you're doing is 90% done by existing libraries, its juts a better tool for building highly performant backends.
Cool, they’re getting into the metaverse! Maybe in a year or two they could try generative A.I.

Even if this was true, it seems harder to compromise a single paranoid coder working out of his garage than any one of 1,000 corporate developers, their workstations, or associated networking, or servers in any (even high-security) company.

Weakest link in the chain and all that. There are just a lot fewer links in the chain. More likely that a vuln is introduced as part of Android and makes its way into GrapheneOS than directly into a tiny project.
Because there is a social element to watching videos. Losing some percentage of users means they will also lose some percentage of shares from those users. Those users may also tell people not to share links to YouTube with them. YouTube is a dominant platform for certain content but everything they do to be less friendly is something another platform can do to gain market share.

> And what is a “skilled” worker?

Experts in digital train infrastructure, for example.

The digital infrastructure for train systems is crucial. Companies like Siemens provide equipment. These are complex projects to convert old infrastructure (signalling & control) to modern digital systems. There are literally thousands of complex projects necessary to upgrade the old train system.

This also necessary for local public transport. For example my local train connection to the city has recently been upgraded with digital systems capable to support autonomous train operation. This was one of the first in Germany. Still the trains are not driving autonomously. Much more effort is needed to provide higher throughput for passenger transport.
You make a very fair point, I only speculated but I do feel it's odd they continue to allow to support existing mobi's, how does this stop them from having to support the format?

To me, it's your thinking that's unhinged. You seem blind to the reality we live in. In your country, Nigel Farage had his banking account cancelled because of having the wrong ideology. What you qualify as impossible is already happening.
People are already getting economically punished for opposing ideas imposed by the state and elites.
Don't trust me? Go right now to your linkedin and make a post saying: "I dislike homosexuality and I oppose LGTB rights." That's a completely legal statement, but if you have a typical employer (ie Fortune 500 corp) you're going to be out of a job pretty quickly.
For the record: I disagree with Farage and support LGTB rights. However it's messed up to impose ideologies through economic sanctions. And in western democracies this is already happening.

That is such a simplistic view, I don’t even know where to start with it.

First, your final paragraph is faulty, five guys (insert overpriced burger joke) is not sufficient for running “YouTube without ads”.

Second, how do people afford that if they have no disposable income? YouTube is unique in that it’s used for a lot of educational purposes; not just in school but people use it to learn how to tie a tie or do woodworking.

It's funny when OpenStreetMap "User blocks" page display status that "Ends in over 90 years".
I notice the definitions for Moot are contradicting.

definitions: Open to debate (adj.). Having no legal significance (n.).

And even when searched in Google I get...

1. subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty.
2. having little or no practical relevance, typically because the subject is too uncertain to allow a decision.

Am I wrong here? I always looked at moot as not mattering. But if it is open for debate, then does it not still matter? To me, moot means no worth debating any longer.
