More like "basically Romania with Vlad Tepes bolted onto it". The London-driven finance-first economy (to which I partake, btw) inevitably sucks the blood out of the rest of the country.

That's silly, there are ways to mark that network operations shouldn't cause signals.
LLMs can be trained on all the math books in the world, starting from the easiest to the most advanced, they can regurgitate them almost perfectly, yet they won't apply the concepts in those books to their actions. I'd count the ability to learn new concepts and methods, then being able to use them as "reasoning".

Hard pass. The name is funny, but an RSS reader that doesn't run on my own hardware is destined to, at best, close down, and at worst, become a cesspit of ads.
Does the "opt-out" still involve a groping by a minimum wage fake LEO whose abuse is protected both by a union and federal law?

I'm not concerned for myself, I'm concerned for _my kids_.

As long as TSA agents are allowed to molest kids under the color of authority, then the "opt-out" is as much or more of a threat as the naked pictures they take in the AIT machines.
> increasingly

I call bs -- that is weasel words. regarding the "truth" that statement, once someone said to me that tech content is like the surface of a balloon being blown up.. each area on the surface gets larger for sure, but also more distant to the others.

kink content is, was, and always will be a "bug light" attractor to certain people.. that is not at all the same as whatever this one-liner says
> I think it's more a case of enshitification.The first LEDs I got were metal bodied.

The heavier the better when it comes to such LEDs. Yes, it's possible to make them work okayish, and control the temps (LEDs should not go over 60C) but that would show poor lumens (and watts) on the box, and be expensive.
Technology is just what it is. Good and bad are human categories that don't apply to technology per se (and are very subjective categories that change dramatically across time, space, and culture)

What humans use it for is another discussion.

One example:
- You can use nuclear fission to provide light and warmth to millions or blow up millions.

Is nuclear fission good or bad?

I would argue it depends what humans make of it.

Same with what you call "AI".

I wish you luck with your coalition, but once a technology is "out there", you cant take it back. I don't think there is an example in history where that happened, would be curious if you know one.
I had such a switch in my old Samsung laptop. Works much better than software-based solutions, which are often simply unreliable.
I've only visited one place in Africa (Nairobi) an only once (about a decade ago); the cars I saw were all in poor condition and about 20-30 years old when I saw them.

Also one of the people we visited had an income so low their annual rent was equivalent to about US$1k, so consider how old and decrepit a vehicle has to be on a western market to be in her price range.

There's a huge variation of culture and living standards across the continent, from people much richer than that who buy new cars that are expensive by western standards to people who walk miles to get water from a well because there isn't any plumbing.

PV and storage have the advantage of being scalable down to small cheap things that even the poorest can benefit from. Cars, not so much, so for low priced transportation, think instead about e-bicycles and e-motorbikes, and even manual bicycles. Or public transport (but even then, the crowded matatu I was in for one trip looked old).
Now we can delve into the fascinating world of campaign ideation and setup.
And yet the comment I'm replying to didn't say "I won't ever rely on Copilot," it said "I can say with confidence that Copilot isn't that useful to me."

I made my comment because I hope others who are fast typists, and familiar with their tools, do give Copilot a try. I expected to hate it, didn't try it for a long time, and was quite surprised when I did.

> But I haven't personally found a scenario in which I explicitly thought "damn, I know exactly what I need to write, but it's so long - I wish someone would write it for me".

Test case setup comes to mind. Another place it's useful is for writing long function-interface signatures. Or adding a bunch of similar "case" statements to a switch.

Generics still have a ton of limitations.
FWIW Alphabet never bought YouTube. Google bought YouTube and still owns it, Alphabet is a holding company for Google which also took ownership of some other companies for better separation and most likely tax reasons, but YT remained a subsidiary of Google
Legally you are correct of course but you are not engaging with the moral aspects of free-rider problems at all, just side stepping them with a tangentially related technical argument.
There is a difference between being kink friendly and exposing your kink to the public, including minors. There is a time and place for everything, and involving potentially unconsenting people in your kink by "letting your freak flag fly" is wrong and has nothing to do with being kink friendly.
> I don't have to look at billboards while driving down the highway

Those ads don't stop you from driving for half a minute per billboard.
No, you got the analogy backwards:

YouTube is running a bicycle track.

YouTube keeps throwing sticks in people's wheels.

People put stick shields on their wheels.

YouTube makes heavy magnets that pull people's stick shields and blames stick shields for people's bikes being slower.

If you're serving content on the internet, and I download some of that content, it is completely up to me what I do with it on my machine. Google may screech "nooo you can't play downloaded videos if you don't play downloaded ads first", but that's complete bullcrap since Google can't tell me what I can and cannot do with my computer.

If Google doesn't like what I do with the content I download from their YouTube servers, Google can choose to make YouTube subscription-only. Yet they never did. Go figure. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
Ask HN: Will OpenAI API be online next week?
How many people think OpenAI API will still be available by this time next week? Clearly the employee base has lost faith in the organization - Is Azure a safe place to move workloads from OpenAI too?
Why do you think we'll only get there with wetware? I guess you're in the "consciousness is uniquely biological" camp?

It's my belief that we're not special; us humans are just meat bags, our brains just perform incredibly complex functions with incredibly complex behaviours and parameters.

Of course we can replicate what our brains do in silicon (or whatever we've moved to at the time). Humans aren't special, there's no magic human juice in our brains, just a currently inconceivable blob of prewired evolved logic and a blank (some might say plastic) space to be filled with stuff we learn from our environs.
Indeed, and for the t480s we could undervolt the CPU to help with thermals but these are not normally accessible to the end user.

So if you are an average user of a Lenovo laptop without technical skills, you probably have a machine that does not meet the advertised performance, and no way to fix it.
We've created the need front-end and back-end developer distinction by creating overly complex front-end build systems, and overly complex SPA frameworks.
> so I assume it's not competitive in energy density per litre so I assume not.

Their competitive argument is a fast charging time with a low impact on the life the battery pack, with a full charge under 10 minutes and about 2'000 cycles. They also have a good available power and capacity at 20C discharge rates.

The text of the law[0] is definitely a bit vague with regard to whether inviting the victim of a crime into a private interview room and denying access to others would qualify as "interfering" with recording. I'm inclined to think that a judge considering the totality of the circumstances would conclude that it does not.

New Elizabeth Line's trains are quite pleasant though. Not sure if the stations have any better ventilation than e.g. Northern Line.
Time is only part of the problem. A significant part as the irritation is automatically visible with no conscious thought, but not the only one.

The other key problem is the stalking & tracking of activity and linking it to other personal data. If adverts were not as intimately linked with this as they are, I'd be far less inclined to block ads.

I don't block sponsor segments with the tools that are easily available to do that – they can't stalk the way other types of ads do. I skip them, just as I used to fast-forward adverts on VHS or go make a drink during ads on TV, when after a few seconds it is obvious I've heard that one before (often many times) or it is otherwise irrelevant to me, but I don't outright block them.
This is a great name. Only people with no vision will criticize it.
But the industry standard for content delivery is a monthly sub. Sure I'd love it if every content provider offered an ala carte option. But that's an industry wide complaint, not specific to youtube.
Also I think it’s fair to say most people have absolutely no idea how much video gets uploaded to YouTube every day and how much it costs to host and serve all that video.

The best number I could find is that over 500 hours of video are uploaded every minute. That’s 720,000 hours of video uploaded per day or 263 million hours per year.

At a modest estimate of around 1.5GB/hour for 1080p video (I think this is a very low estimate, since YouTube has much higher quality available now, and also stores different versions of each video), this works out to 376PB per year!

Other factors to consider:

* Transcoding. YouTube servers are constantly transcoding video into many different formats, given a single input file.

* Serving. YouTube isn’t served from one central data centre. They operate a huge CDN in order to serve users at the edge of the network. This means some percentage of that 376PB figure must be duplicated many times across many different data centres.
Can't you use some kind of DNS blocker (like pi-hole or the other one) to block ads on your TV?
The Entire front end web stack looks like a design mistake.

Backend looks better only because of the flexibility. You can do anything in the back. But the front you're locked into multi decade old tech and the decade old wrappers written around it.

Their definition of done clearly didn’t align with reality. Product Managers fault although I am sure there is more to the story (aka no Product Manager)
Lets be honest here: this article seems as if it were drafted by Altman himself. It's incredibly biased and screams pro-Altman agenda. I would be very surprised if " 90% " of any company could agree on anything, including the removal of the CEO. What is clear is that there were massive conflicts of interest and that the board probably did their job in preserving the mission of the organization (they sure as heck are not operating as agents of MS). The naive fanboy blind support of management here should be concerning to any rational objective actor who understands fiduciary duty and the bigger picture.
Sam Altman joining Microsoft is not a done deal
I hope this doesn't come off as combatative, but I don't know why people keep repeating this fun fact from their highschool chemistry class as if it's relevant to the discussion.

Per a 2023 Nature article: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43017-022-00387-5

> The locations of suitable continental brines are also geographically restricted, with an estimated 50–85% of lithium-rich continental brine deposits located in the Lithium Triangle and with China as the next richest source. Hard-rock ores are also geographically concentrated in Australia and China

Lithium in a form that is economical to mine/process is indeed quite rare. Which is why 3 countries produce 90% of it.

And it is extremely environmentally costly which is treated as an economic externality. It takes 1.9m litres to mine one ton of lithium and solvent chemicals like hydrochloric acid contaminates groundwater, making the entire site toxic and unlivable.

Entire governments have been overthrown for access to this resource.
Oh yeah? And 99% of terminal cancer patients die too. So traffic deaths are irrelevant following your logic.

A frequency argument is useless here. It happens that people get shot by police when it is uncalled for, with no consequences for the murder other than some paid vacation time. It is documented. This is not a discussion of what is most deadly or if it is common.
"What Would Finishing This Today Look Like?"
Any reason it can't just have a JSON page somewhere, and then the search simply be a JavaScript app that looks through that static JSON for all the entries that contain a given token in it's list of keywords?

The idea that 'ideas are cheap' is common but wrong. If that were the case, we would get great new products every day.

Some people are technical and enjoy most building (here coding) but don't have a useful idea. Others have complimentary strengths and weaknesses. Most complex products we have were thought of, designed, and built by different people, as I'm sure you know.

Also, it sounds like you might just be in a different stage or a different personality type. Imagine when you've got your bills paid, but still see many problems around you, and most will not be ones that can be solved through profit motives.

At one point the video playback started to slow down, the audio was playing but the video was freezing and stuttering. I paused the video and checked the UBO tooltip - 930 ads (elements) blocked.

And they want to tell me it's UBO causing slowness???
Mario RPG might possibly be my favorite video game of all time. I grew up pretty poor and really wanted an N64 for Christmas. We couldn’t afford it at the time so I found an alternative - I remember being sad about it, but I found a used copy of Mario RPG for something like $30, this was at the end of 1996. When I sat down with it it’s like something clicked. I didn’t get the N64 for another year but it didn’t matter. I still remember everything about this weird and wonderful game. I haven’t gotten the remake yet, maybe partially because I don’t want to ruin those memories…
On twitter, the replies that deconstruct or fortify an argument are interspersed with a lot of junk. I've built https://en.howtruthful.com/ as a tool specifically for deconstructing and fortifying arguments. I see a lot of potential to succeed where twitter failed.
Any shuffle algorithm is fine but the problem is Spotify's brainlessness: it routinely plays songs it just played. If you are any long-term user then you have playlists of hundreds of songs and my guess is that you haven't heard some of those songs in ages which means ... the FEATURE IS BROKEN.

I'd prefer a weighted shuffle based on the staleness of a song in a playlist. That way you eventually get through all of the music but in a pseudo-random order.
Of those 50 injections around 15 were PRP and the rest were hyaluronic acid injections.

I was doing them back in Russia and a PRP injection there would cost around $80.

I keep doing hyaluronic acid injections every 3 months just to be safe, whatever I am doing it seems to be working, so I continue doing them. Right now I live in Georgia they cost around $105 here ($90 for the syringe, $15 for the doctor).

SVF seemed to have a much stronger effect than PRP, it's hard to quantify, but I would say a single SVF felt close to all the PRPs I did before.
The sort of obvious way is to slap on a decent carbon tax on fuels. But of course that is fought tooth and nail by a lot on entrenched interests.

There is a probability that entropy will decrease, it's just small enough to neglect. Playing songs straight through isn't really a concern.

No - that's the reasoning behind the law.

You appear to be struggling with the idea that the law as enacted does not accomplish the goal it was created to accomplish and are working backwards to say that because it is not accomplishing this goal that couldn't have been why it was enacted.

Non-profits are supposed to benefit their community. Could the law be better? Sure, but that doesn't change the purpose behind it.
Mainstream media said the same thing about nuclear energy, steam engines, integrated circuits, and a dozen other technologies since the dawn of civilization.
It never manifested though, and people still work and produce like they did for thousands of years.

Humans are surprisingly adept at coming up with new kinds of work.

IMO the bigger "risk" is that we will extinct ourselves in the next few hundred years, but that is a different discussion.
Yep. Resonates a lot. I've tinkered with code on the side and realised its very hard to do it "part-time".

Learned HTML/CSS in 2012. Built an app in Rails in 2014. Learned basic Javascript in 2018. Delved into React in 2020. Shifted to no-code. Back to Fundamentals in 2023.

I think its hard to really be good at it, but depends on the goal. Most people want to be software engineers for the wrong reasons these days. To me it was always a hobby and if I can build some small useful things for people with just front-end and a database its a win.

Its not easy though. It never was. It requires commitment and patience as well as regularity beyond tinkering with it 1 time a month.

Gas plants can't really change how much they are generating in seconds. What they actually do is use the inertia of the spinning machinery, when the grid frequency drops (which is usually one of the first symptoms of load exceeding demand) the big spinning generators don't change speed instantaneously, they instead come under higher load and and convert more of their kinetic energy into electrical energy and help prop up the grid frequency. This starts the generators slowing down which then causes the control software to do whatever it is they do to feed in more gas and generate more power to try to keep them running at the same speed (I don't know exactly, I worked in grid batteries not gas plants).

But yes, the batteries can respond much faster and are way better at this kind of support. It does lead to some situations that felt slightly weird to me where a battery will be selling a "spinning" reserve product. Luckily the weird linguistic artifact did not require us to actually rotate multi-ton batteries ;).
> This post doesn't give any actual argument why you should charge your device only to 80%.

It does, it tells you the battery will degrade 5 times less compared to charging it to 100%. If that is worth it is up to you to decide. I charge my phone daily, it's usually around 40% at the end of day so charging it to 80% should only benefit me.
Obviously since you pay for the Steam games on Steam, advertising them at you in the platform is a win-win.

But you don't just buy more videos on YouTube. The videos are mostly free. So they have to advertise other stuff at you.
