yeah like duck duck crap which after 12+ years and endless marketing is still a niche and still not that good as a search engine? The closest thing to competition is Meta, but that is social networking.

Even Chat GPT is not a threat to the mobile ads dominance of Google. Google ads are everywhere, Bing-Chat integration is just limited to search, and this is assuming people use it, which if Microsoft's failed 20 year foray into search is any indication, is not exactly promising.

All these 3rd party clients and sites to watch videos should coordinate and define a protocol for creators with a youtube channel to cross-reference a google-free (maybe self-hosted) platform to get to their content as a safeguard to not fully loose their viewership if either the creator or the subscribers get booted off the platform for whatever reason google deems a violation of their policies. Then creators can promote these 3rd party apps. Of course any other platforms will not easily be able to replace youtube's monetization, but at least keeping the contact could buy them some time.

It's 10-100x above my goals/hopes/dreams but i still found the kernel of the argument interesting/applicable despite the difference in scale:

"From an entrepreneur’s standpoint, it’s easy to become engrossed in the thrill of securing funding, expanding the team, and growing the business. Yet, more growth doesn’t always equal a better business. Some markets just aren’t that big. Some markets take longer to develop. Furthermore, personal priorities evolve, and one’s perspective on opportunities can shift over time. And, every round of funding shifts the goal posts further out. "

I used the system you are advocating in my utility at first.

The problem is that you need to constantly check for work. That is expensive on tight loops. Yes, I checked on every loop iteration unless I knew a small, but constant, amount of work had to be done.

That's the thing: if you have a tight loop, do you know how long it's going to take to run through everything? In addition, when a SIGINT comes, can you be sure that your state is correct?

Here's a test: download my utility and run these commands:

$ git checkout 2.7.0
$ ./configure.sh -gO3
$ make
$ echo "2^2^32" | bin/bc

Then send a SIGINT after a random amount of time.

I did that twice, and both times, I triggered asserts. Some state was wrong.

This was after I had carefully gone through the entire codebase to check signals everywhere.

Now do this:

$ git checkout 6.7.0
$ ./configure.sh -gO3 -Sbc.sigint.reset
$ make
$ echo "2^2^32" | bin/bc

And send a SIGINT after a random amount of time.

bc exits because its stdin is a pipe, but nothing goes wrong. If you do it like this:

$ bin/bc
>>> 2^2^32
^C
interrupt (type "quit" to exit)

0: (main)
ready for more input
>>>

And you can merrily continue.

Semaphores and mutexes have the same problem: I would need to keep checking them.

I understand why you think the way you do; I did too. But the real world is more complicated.

And your 'alternative' is a volatile token backed by nothing, that nobody is interested in (as cited by Pew Research) has properties that exhibits a pyramid scheme at best and a ponzi scheme at worst, and doesn't even do recurring payments and it is still slow.

If you want to talk about 0% fees, this doesn't exist in any widely used crypto token so I don't know where you got that from.

What is being suggested (which is any crypto token) is even worse than Patreon, we just had major price manipulation on Bitcoin which tells you everything you need to know about how unstable this token is that creators will not use.

ICYMI there is also Liberapay which I stated earlier that you purposefully glossed over if you don't like Patreon. In any case, any payment system is better than crypto or bitcoin, especially for creators.

Well, first of all, they don't actually sell your data.

If we accept "sell your data" as a shorthand for "allow targeting ads to you without actually giving the seller of the ad any information about you", it's still something you can control. In fact, the very first time you use YouTube you'd be shown a non-modal dialog about whether they're allowed to use your data for ad targeting or not, and have to make a yes/no choice

So it sure sounds like your objection is just an excuse.
Nothing added to machines since the invention of C is foreign to C. In fact, C is hardwares most favored customer. Chip designers tend to favor tuning for traces of instructions generated by C compilers. Some architectures, like RISCV, are so overtuned for C and nothing but C that they forgot to add some instructions (like add with overflow check).

You can minimize sharing data between threads because it's easier to have data affinity with threads (ie only thread A will read or write to a piece of data). You can still access that data from multiple modules because the whole thread is never blocked waiting for IO (because of async). An extreme example is nodejs, where you only have one thread, can concurrently do thousands of things and never have to coordinate (ie via mutexes) data access.

I am around ~40 now. The Asian/Russian Jewish kids I grew up with whose parents made them "study their ass off" are now by-and-large folks with families, homes, interesting and challenging careers, etc.

The kids who didn't... aren't. I want to give my kids a better shot at a better outcome in life. There's no guarantees but I want to maximize their chances and knowing how to learn and work is a key input to that.

You mentioned in another post some pointless teacher-pleasing that you engaged in, I am not sure why you think that's the only or even a common path. Most of these kids I am talking about adopted their parents' "invest in yourself" mentality, and also by-and-large found their studies challenging and interesting. You seem to be taking your own worst-case and projecting it onto the world.

Very cool. It's awesome we finally have an independent YouTube player app which, unlike existing players (we could always use MPV and others), also has searching and specific video related recommendations.

But there is a room for improvement. E.g. its history appears forgetting a video's pause position as soon as I start watching another one. A handier speed change (wheel-scrollable perhaps, e.g. the YouTube Enhancer browser extension has it) is a necessity - I increase and decrease speed very often depending on how well and easy do I understand a particular part so using a pop-up menu annoys. The same about sharing - I want a single-click to copy the URL to the clipboard, not a multi-share pop-up menu. An option to pre-download full videos (in a per-video preferred format, together with the subtitles) then play from the file, then let me purge/prune this cache manually would be great (I usually prefer the "18" 360p MP4 format, 240p if that's a podcast with no interesting visual content, 720-1024p if its a coding lecture where I need to read what's on the screen, higher in some rare cases when there's something beautiful, all available subtitles and chapters should better be embedded in the file).

Blocking ads should indeed be configurable. To be honest, I personally can hardly imagine myself enabling ads (I rather donate when I really like someone, and that's much more than YouTube itself would pay them for my view), nevertheless just killing all ads for everyone without even an option to change this manually somehow feels wrong. And probably begging for trouble of Google and/or other corporations attacking the project. If I were the developer I would rather enable ads by default and let the users configure blocking the way they see fit.

I would consider adding these features myself as this fortunately is a free project on GitHub but Electron means that would require me to learn web frontend which is so complicated[1] it's not really my thing.

I very rarely notice it, but this very article to me is displayed in Bitstream Charter (I think because it contains one character somewhere that isn't present in Georgia) and Bitstream Charter is awfully bad for some reason, probably because I have it in PCF format.

My package manager describes it as A serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter for low resolution devices.

You are probably blessed with not having this font installed on your system, which prevents your browser from choosing it instead of Georgia.

I rarely encounter this problem though, I suppose there aren't many fonts that are only available as bitmap on most systems, and even fewer of them get used by websites.

> Which can be avoided if you remember that hazard is there.

This is true, but it could be argued that it's harder to avoid signed integer overflow in C/C++ than it is to avoid buffer overflows: you often don't know what types you're working with, due to the usual arithmetic conversions and integer promotions, and checking whether an overflow will occur without causing an overflow is difficult in itself. It's kind of uniquely awful in this respect, basically every other popular language has a more practical integer programming model.

You're assuming that the work can be split into "smallish chunks", instead of a single large CPU-bound computation. Sure, "injecting a stop package in its stream of work" is the best design, but only if you do have a stream of work in the first place. Otherwise, it's either signals, or constantly checking a shared "stop" variable in the middle of a very hot CPU-bound loop.

This is why the upgrade guide says to actually read the changelog; they tell you the changes. I've only been bitten once, and it was because I didn't read first.

Edge effects are a massive thing in fluid flow. I'd expect there to be a significant difference between air quality at ground level (human mouth level) and 2nd-storey level. Isn't the turbulent flow around ground obstructions likely to make more pollutants gather in the boundary layer, and the lower flow rate ensure they're not swept away?

"Lake City is one of the biggest manufacturers of AR-15 ammo in the US. I have a few thousand rounds of their 5.56 stashed away here. It's all over my gun circles that they just announced a total, immediate stop to all civilians sales of AR ammo. It's all military orders, now."

"According to multiple news sources, the Lake City ammo plant has cancelled all of its commercial contracts.

This means that stores will no longer be able to purchase ammo from Lake City, which currently supplies 30% of the civilian market for 5.56 ammunition.

The Lake City ammo plant is owned by the US Government, but operated by Olin Winchester. Winchester produces ammo and sells it to the government."

I'm glad to hear there have been some consequences to Microsoft's anti-user product direction. But where we need to see Linux permeate is outside of tech bubbles.
Why do you consider this ‘off topic’?
The best way I've seen is to have the upgrade itself migrate the config, when at all possible.

Sometimes it can't be done, because the changes are entirely orthogonal, but trying your best is quite helpful.

Or you just do like Linux apparently seems to do and introduce a new software firewall every few years :D
Plus, the cost of gitlab is getting insane. It's very hard to justify the jump, no matter how worth it is. Jira "just works" for now, and honestly it wouldn't surprise me if gitlab raises their pricing even further.

(which I totally understand, they are not profitable yet and have to do a lot of work. It's just that it sucks having to be cautious about who gets access to your instance since you can't have multiple tiers of users, once you use ultimate features everyone has to pay for an ultimate seat)
That's why most have Patreon, Ko-fi, merch shops, donations etc., which is a far more solid business model.

Is it? Most of the times I've seen these things come up it's mainly in the context of those being additional, but much smaller, revenue streams for the vast majority of creators.

Are there many creators surviving entirely (or at least primarily) on subscription/donation/etc revenue?
Agreed. I remember in 2000 that I used to be able to buy the cheapest full meal with sides at a fast casual for under $4. Now maybe it under $12!
I'll be that person. There are no top-tier bluetooth headphones, only mid-tier at best, and they're grossly inferior to wired mid-tier headphones in terms of acoustics. (Which is obvious, when you spend 80% of the budget on processors, batteries and electronics, that you're spending less on audio hardware at the same price point).

With such disposable mediocre technology replacing such a superior predecessor, I really do think I get what I deserve when I buy them.

> It's surprising because it wasn't the intent of LLMs. LLMs are just predictive models that guess the most likely next word. Having the results make sense was never a priority.

If you took the same amount of data for the GPT3+ but scrambled it's tokenization before training THEN I would agree with you that its current behaviour is surprising, but the model was fed data that has large swaths that are literal question and answer constructions. It's over fitting behavior is largely why it's parent company is facing so much legal backlash.

> Even more mind boggling is the fact that randomness is part of its algorithm

The randomness is for token choice rather than any training time tunable so fails to support the "i.e. we don’t really know what happened" sentiment. We do know, we told it to flip a coin, and it did.

> i.e. temperature, and that without it the output is kind of meh.

Both without it and with it. You can turn up the temperature and get bad results as well as you can turn it down and get bad results.

If adding a single additional dimension to the polynomial of the solution space turned a nondeterministic problem into a deterministic one, then yes, I would agree with you, that would be surprising.
