I've seen this implemented at several places. Usually it takes the form of a long serpentine line stretching through a bunch of racks of impulse buys with a "wait here for next available cashier" sign at the front and a long bank of registers leading towards the exit. It's more common at hardware or big box retail stores, but I have seen it at grocers as well.

So in terms of pro-privacy, yes, happy for the govt to get involved, possibly even if it's to the point where all internet users end up with the same privacy rights as under-13s. Although even then, have to be vigilant, with the EU and the US periodically trying to mandate "backdoors" into encrypted communications.

My concern for govt choosing what can be displayed in terms of ads is a concern that the govt would then move into choosing what must be displayed, once some sort of agreement on what is "fair" to display is reached. I'd prefer the antagonistic free-for-all to continue, as it's pretty easy to block ads everywhere at the moment.
> “I expect this to take about 2 weeks and not cause major deprioritization of other efforts. If that timeline doesn’t seem accurate after diving in, or if you end up having to prioritize against other things, reach out to me ASAP.”

Forget about it. This is impossible, unless you literally have nothing else to do. And that's really unlikely, or they wouldn't talk about prioritization in the first place.

If you really want to know if someone understood what you asked of them, ask them questions about it. If they can't answer correctly, you didn't explain enough yet.

But the platform does have their costs to cover, they contribute to discoverability & host all the videos. But yes, creating good quality videos is a full time job that isn't compensated simply by relying on ad money.
Related anecdote:

Just a couple days ago I was watching YouTube and the videos kept defaulting to 480p quality and not automatically increasing to a higher one. This was on my home network that is definitely able to handle a higher quality stream. I was able to manually set it to 720p (good enough for watching on my laptop) and it didn't flip back. This happened a few times in a row that I found it odd. I then thought it might be ad blocking related so I disabled uBlock Origin for YouTube and then everything worked fine after that. Coincidence? Maybe, I need to try this a few more times to see.

I thought so at first, but no, that's not what the author is after. The article is about _recognizing the experience of being offended_. Near the end, the author says what to do with that recognition:

> By getting offended more, you actually get to figure out who you are and what you care about. You react less, respond more. You develop real compassion. You practice alchemy upon yourself.

I think that "reacting less" would prevent flamewars.
NTSC was also known for its poor colour reproducability compared to PAL due to how the color signal was modulated. PAL had automatic control where NTSC often required manual adjustment in case the hue was drifted. For that reason NTSC was often said to stand for 'Never Twice the Same Color' or 'Never The Same Color'.

I wonder if any of the shaders also has this behavior of randomly shifting the hue or an ability to change it by a give offset.
"tiny Asian nation" sounds weird. Why not just stick to the original title and say "Government bans TikTok in Nepal"?

IMO the RNN is overkill of this problem, compared to a simple and elegant algorithm called "$1 unistroke recognizer". That one works beautifully even when trained with just a single sample of each gesture.

I hope $1 unistroke gets more recognition because it can be integrated in an afternoon into any project to add gesture recognition and make the UI more friendly.

It works quite reliably for palm style "Graffiti" text entry, as long as each letter is just a single stroke. The original paper also makes great effort to be readable and understandable.

It doesn’t seem like an outrage to me that agriculture uses more water than the cities they feed. It’s actually more accurate to think of the water used in agriculture as an externalized cost of the city. Of course food production uses more water than washing and drinking. That is the case in almost all circumstances.

Now, whether we should be growing luxury crops in water constrained regions, that might be a better discussion to have, but the nature of global trade demands centralized production for the needed economy of scale.

I am very much in favor of a revamp of the unnecessary movement of goods where local production could suffice, but the reality of that concept at scale is a much more constrained, regional marketplace rather than the global bazaar we currently expect and enjoy.

This really seems like a self promoting drive-by on a farm that makes an effort to contribute to their communities in lasting ways, while ignoring the real issue which is overpopulation of areas that can only support sparse populations.

As long as humans need to eat, it’s hard to justify the position that farm usage of water unduly impacts the needs of cities. It’s disingenuous. It’s like saying that breathing uses too much oxygen in a crowded room- maybe resident density, not breathing, is the problem.
Interesting that something basic like a CSRF vulnerability have existed for so long in the project. I wonder what other "low-hanging fruit" vulnerabilities they have nested in there if they don't something like that right.
From my understanding a lot of stores these days do notice the problem but just silently update a database entry somewhere until you've serially stolen $500 worth of merchandise (or whatever the local threshold is to make legal pursuit worth their time).

The hyper specificity usually comes from a place of not wanting to share the larger context; in my experience it's for office politics reasons.
People can't verify all the info they come across and start trusting some sources as reliable. Many Indians used to trust facts/opinions from Western media as reliable and neutral but after the arrival of social media, lot of prejudices and fake news from the same sources are exposed so the trust deficit makes almost all the opinions questionable. There is also a section driven by ideology or biases due to past history.

> if you open up any Rails application, it looks basically the same in structure whether it is the biggest Rails app there is or a new one.

I used to love this, untill I started to hate it. I am convinced this is a major contributor to why so many Rails apps turn into an unmaintainable mess over years.

Who measures onboarding in hours? It's fine if it takes a day or two to understand the domain. And the framework. And how they tie together.

Talking about the domain: Rails puts "the plumbing" up front. Its how it achieves this consistency. My app is never about "models" or "http" or "databases". My app is about medicine-journals. Or loan-request-management. Or CRM. Rails makes itself important, at the cost of my domain.

Rails' opinionatedness makes it so that this is hewn in stone. Its MVC is a given - and that's fine - major architectures should probably be dictated by the framework. But it's ORM - ActiveRecord also is a given. And that's not fine because AR (as an architecture and as how Rails implements it) is very unfit for a large category of applications. It's virtually impossible to swap AR out for anything else. Same with templates/views, JS, Caching, and many more: you can -in theory- replace them with a drop-in alternative. But you cannot -not even in theory- replace them with something that has an entirely different architecture or concept. This makes Rails not Omakase, but actually McDonalds: wherever in the world you come, you know exeactly what to expect, but it also makes boring and bland: no-one eats 7days/week McD.

This makes all Rails apps look alike. Despite the fact that not one of the apps that "we" are building is alike another. Domain. Team. Project Planning. Combine any of them and the projects demand different things, but with Rails you are out of luck. Regardless if you build the next fintech platform with a team of 120 senior devs over 6 years, or you hack your "marketplace for coffeelovers" over the weekends alone: you get The Rails Way. One of those might be a perfect fit. But it's impossible they all are. Each team gets the same "menu". And in many cases it simply won't fit.
I can't think of anything to say that doesn't sound like a free and unencumbered software bumper sticker. But... like... c'mon.
While power consumption is important, it is never a top priority when we talk about training these huge models. Raw performance matters more than anything else.

Remember when patents were considered this grand thing?

That, should you be so lucky to create some great idea and then patent it, the world would be better and you’d be rewarded for your genius!

I am 1st or second author on two granted patents. I have received neither any compensation nor any benefit for it. I don’t even get to do anything with them because they are property of another company.

Patents don’t even appear to be serving their intended purpose, I mean Broadcom odd just blocking the use, meaning Netflix subscribers just got a worse service now when Netflix could easily just pay to license like they should have.

Ridiculous
Because sometimes legislation can end up with regulatory capture.

If the govt reaches some sort of agreement with tech companies that results in some things (that we can already block) becoming illegal to display on their end, but other things now becoming illegal to block, that would be a worse result than the govt just doing nothing. Historically, when the govt gets involved, this is the result. Back when cable TV was relevant, Tivo lost a lawsuit filed against them for auto-skipping ads on recorded content.

Although looking at the article, it just says "A privacy consultant based in Ireland says he is in the process of filing a criminal complaint against YouTube for alleged unlawful surveillance" so I would be surprised if anything came of this anyway.
The sticky ads allocated roughly 75% of my screen, the text was barely visible.

Yeah me too. I am still sad thinking about the number of hours I spend messing with python environments and versions because I was told it was the “quick and easy” option for solving this or that small problem.*

Another thought on this, coming from someone whose phone number has ended up on some large number of scammer lists, to the point where I would have about 1000 scam calls per month around open enrollment time (think targeting seniors):

Doesn't Netflix use AV1 exclusively to stream it's contents? Even if it's not using it, I think that this news will be a boon to AV1 usage adoption as i hope that HEVC will be replaced with AV1 in Netflix.
At a certain point though, I’m inclined to point my finger at the state for signing terrible business deals. Like, the 1995 water deal was so staggeringly poorly negotiated by the state that I find it hard to get too mad at the farmers that took them up on their giveaway.
> Why do you pretend that you are entitled to free video storage and bandwidth from YouTube?

Because they offered it for free.

YouTube can close the doors any time. If they want my money, they can make a service offering that meets my needs. They could charge content providers for bandwidth and storage and meter it with assisted ad-support networks. They could charge a price I'm willing to pay.

But they don't and I will not accept any argument that consuming resources they put into the public sphere for free use means I am under any moral obligation to either give them money or facilitate them making money off of my traffic.

The only time ads worked was when Google made them an unobtrusive part of search. They dominate literally every piece of software I use now. I'm sorry but I say burn it all to the ground. I will either pay for or build its replacement.

You don't want ad-blockers? Shut it down. I was doing the internet before there was a need for them.
Actually the original ban proposal in the EU was on single-use plastics. As in... all of them.

Then the industry jumped on it, threw fudge online, lobbied it to death. In the end the actual proposal that was passed had so many exceptions it became just a ban on plastic straws, q-tips, and forks pretty much.

I’m not leadership, but if I was, I feel like I would probably be guilty of this.
