Well, the article is entirely sourced on a blog post by YouTube [0]. If you don't believe them, there's no story in the first place.

That blog post is basically just announcing a feature that recommends related news videos when you're watching a news video. That's it. You're presumably reacting to the article headline, but the claim in the headline that "YouTube wants you watching more news" appears to be entirely made up by The Verge's headline/clickbait editor.

But ok, let's trust the headline and not the blog post. What do you think the lie is? That the news recommendations will actually be shown for non-news videos not related to the event? That there's some totally separate YouTube feature in the works unrelated to the announced feature that's about making you (yes, you!) watch more news from authoritative news sources, that some buffoon at The Verge was privy to, and accidentally revealed in the headline even though it was unsupported by their single piece of public source material?

Years ago, long BC, I was at a tech conference and the CTO of a local tech giant gave a talk on micro services that was very good and touched on some of these same points. They, in fact, refactored in the monolith and then broke it out into micro services but, surprisingly, never shipped the refactored monolith ... they just kept it running full test suites as more and more of its features were carved off into micro services until the test suites were running entirely on the micro services. They shipped that.

During the Q&A somebody asked a question about their company's struggle to move their monolith to micro services and the CTO asked two questions that, at the time, was very illuminating: how many teams did they have and how many developers were in their tooling team. When they said they had a relatively small team the CTO said "you don't have any of the problems micro services solve, why are you switching".

You'd need to limit the CPU operating points or offline most of the CPU cores to get lower max power consumption under load. 5W is too strict for Orange Pi 5 Plus.
And of course forget nvme if you want predictable low power consumption. nvme alone is 5-10W load. The board itself can run under 5W, but you'd have to carefully consider what peripherals you can use and how.

True. The point is to eliminate waste. For example, if you already got a psychological evaluation as part of being a cop, they use that one for the security license requirement in my state. At least in my state they still make you get the license, but they trim out the redundant portions.

Arg! I can't find it now but a while back I read an amazing article discussing the set design on the original series; particularly for the alien planets. From what I recall, their overall assessment was that the set designers used strong color design and bold shapes to compensate for their lack of budget. In that respect, while later entries in the series had much "better" sets, TOS had the strongest aesthetic.

Because we are thinking about randoms with guns and other weaponry, not organized rebellion/treason a la the Confederacy.

edit: wouldn't, in the case of such a massive organized rebellion, engaging in even more brutal and aggressive tactics actually make more sense? The stakes are much higher in that scenario, and wouldn't the United States want to decimate the enemy's supply, etc., as it partly did during the original Civil War?
Listen to the way Biden says it, and ask yourself, which of these scenarios is more likely:

1. Biden is accidentally leaking a plan to blow up the pipeline that won't be put into action for another 8 months in the event of a conflict which most people expect will only last about a month in the hot phase.

2. Biden is giving a politician's "I don't want to answer that question" answer.

> CPUs, like smartphones, don't really need an upgrade every year

So don't upgrade, what's your problem?

Releasing new product each year gives an opportunity to upgrade hardware on your own schedule, being sure that the CPU you buy this year will last for a fixed number of years more. There are very few people always living on the bleeding edge, most just buy PCs when they feel necessary. For manufacturers this means steady revenue stream and good supply/demand balance, without shocks when everyone wants to upgrade (see how it goes for game consoles, for example).

Nuclear attribution is probably easier than undersea sabotage attribution.

For one, the list of possible suspects is much smaller with a nuclear attack. This is particularly now that covert undersea sabotage using cheap undersea drones is technically feasible for countries without a traditional submarine force. Undersea sabotage may also be carried out in a plausibly deniable way, using fishing trawlers to "accidentally" snag a cable. Probably this has already happened numerous times already, but it's very difficult to prove intent with this sort of thing.

The traditional delivery mechanisms for a nuclear weapon are easily traceable. Even using an SLBM is relatively traceable; if an SLBM comes from the Barents Sea, there will be little doubt who sent it. And the chance of the launching boomer being actively monitored by an oppositional SSN when the launch occurs is too great to ignore. The ballistic properties of the SLBM probably reveal the make and model anyway.

The greatest risk is from a nuke smuggled into the target area. However the risk of discovery is very high relative to the risk of discovery for undersea sabotage and there's no plausible "just an accident" excuse. Furthermore you have the serious risk of forensic evidence from the blast and fallout revealing the manufacturer of the bomb. And what's the point of nuclear terrorism if not to send a message, and how can that message be sent if nobody can guess who did it? With pipe or cable sabotage, the point may be to directly inflict economic damage. Using nukes to inflict economic damage is complete overkill when alternatives exist (such as undersea sabotage, hacking attacks, etc) that don't put the aggressor nation's leadership personally at risk from a retaliatory nuclear strike.
Great question! We iterated on the prompt for several days and manually verified the results for ~100 users.

The results were pretty good: https://gist.github.com/gaurav274/506337fa51f4df192de78d1280...

Another interesting aspect was the money spent on LLMs. We could have directly used GPT-4 to generate the "golden" table; however, it's a bit expensive — costing $60 to process the information of 1000 users. To maintain accuracy while reducing costs significantly, we set up an LLM model cascade in the EvaDB query, running GPT-3.5 before GPT-4, leading to a 11x cost reduction ($5.5).

> but now you call it a service

What is a problem in itself. On every sane place, most of the "services" aren't providing any on-demand service, instead they are just thematic monoliths doing all of a part of a task.

I'm settling on the opinion that a service-based architecture is always wrong. But people keep calling the good architectures by that name.
That is Pandora's entire business model. They (used to?) have music majors review every track that came in on a bunch of criteria.

After years of working with various microservice-based systems, I got the impression that the whole idea of "microservices" means ignoring various nuances of particular products and organizations and just splitting your system in a pinky-sized codebases and services.

You are completely right, every project is different, and that's why the general idea of microservices is bad. Split your services where there are technical or heavy political and organizational reasons to do so, but don't go for splitting as your default solution.
Even going to war involved a huge mass of people, which made it easier to get statistical safety for the insurance company. For writing insurance the fact that just 24 people ever (even to this day!) have left Earth orbit meant that the risk pool just wasn't very large. Very small group and large, unknown risk- that's the sort of thing that an actuary really doesn't like working with. Like, if Apollo 13 didn't make it home, that's 1/8th of the total insurance population right there. What kind of price do you need to charge to cover that level of risk?
the things you're talking about are the selling point, not the problem. the foundational idea of cryptocurrency is that it is unregulated and therefore allows for fraud, crime, privacy, secrecy whatever. if you don't want to expose yourself to that, don't engage with crypto. much like with TOR, they're a necessary evil to provide online freedom

the problems as I see them are too much private regulation of the market—centralised exchanges that have too much power—and public regulation—KYC—which has largely removed the intended benefits in the first place
