That's what this is about, and yes the application of force required is thought policing or tyranny per definition.
It's f*ed up being a farmer versus land owners in a feudal society. It's f*ed up being a slave in the Roman empire. Likewise, if you are using/buying/receiving "AI" in a information society, their owners will police you. That's how power works and always will.
The problem is every filesystem would implement a different version of fsync_that_works or rename_for_safety and then applications will have to call all of them, and then people will start building a compat framework that tries to assemble the optimal sequence of calls for each filesystem except it won't work in every case and so a new fsync_but_no_cheating function will be proposed.
> I think it's odd that YouTube hasn't simply proxied the ads into the same stream to make them indistinguishable from the video.

Yeah, same -- cable TV has been doing that since god knows how long. There must be some internal engineering reason(s) behind it.
It's not working for me in a non-interactive Bash script on Bash 4.4.

$_ is nto documented in the man page but is in the Info manual. It is not only set to the last argument of a command but also to the script name on script startup.

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.4.20(1)-release (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
[ ... ]

Contents of script:

$ cat underscore.sh
#!/bin/sh
# ^^ mistake here, should be /bin/bash

test -e foo && echo $_ exists

echo 'value of $_' = $_

Test:

$ touch foo
$ ./underscore.sh
./underscore.sh exists
value of $_ = ./underscore.sh

I'm seeing nothing but the behavior of $_ being set to the script, and not affected.

But at the interactive prompt:

$ test -e foo && echo $_ exists
foo exists

This doesn't look like something I can rely on in scripts.

In the first place, I code in POSIX, except in the rare situation of making something that is strictly geared toward Bash.

Magic global variables subject to hidden side effects are garbage; I already feel dirty enough when I have to use $?.

This piece of crap also breaks under the DEBUG trap:

$ debug() {
> :
> }
$ trap debug DEBUG
$ test -e foo && echo $_ exists
debug exists
$ test -e bar && echo $_ exists
!1!

(That !1! is how non-zero exit status is printed in my setup.)

Sorry, I'm not going back to a 1978 way of writing shell tests, in order to use some broken magic variable.
Been trying to load that website for the past 24 hours, it keeps timing out :(
Shellcheck is great, but requires some investment to tailor to your style

Disable default checks or enable optional ones using directives: https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/Directive

The error checks can be pretty arcane: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Checks

I appreciate that the text for each check is brief and usually includes a suggestion. I end up disabling 26xx's a lot (for unquoted variables to be interpreted as multiple values).

Python is probably the best alternative to bash, but Swift is getting surprisingly good.

With shwift[1] you get NIO/async APIs, operator overloading for shell-like locutions, and trivial access to existing executables:

/// Piping between two executables
try await echo("Foo", "Bar") | sed("s/Bar/Baz/")

/// Piping to a builtin
try await echo("Foo", "Bar")
| map { $0.replacingOccurrences(of: "Bar", with: "Baz") }

Scripts can easily be configured with libraries and run pre-compiled by using clutch[2].

For cross-platform use, be sure only use libraries on all platforms (i.e., not Foundation). It's a pain, but at least the error shows up typically at compile-time instead of run-time.

How will you feel when YouTube introduces quick ads for premium users and longer ads for free users?

There's absolutely nothing stopping the arms race from continuing past the point which you are currently satisified.

Just look at Hulu, for example.

Also, it's ridiculous that YouTube was able to convince people it's acceptable to have audio pause when in the background. If YouTube on Desktop paused audio when the tab was not the active tab it would be fundamentally unusable.

Signal is not the abuser, threat actors are.

> between parties that know each others' identities

And Signal needs to collect their identities and reveal them to each other despite the risk of one of them getting compromised?

> This is the user story that matters for dissidents, journalists, public figures, and ordinary people

When you are outed as a source, as the romantic partner of an estranged spouse, as the public figure losing an election because of an embarassing message,etc... it matters. And you have not given me a technical reason why Signal can't protect people as they expect it to. None of these people are concerned about the FBI doing a forensic investigation or wiretapping them.

> servicing people who treat security as a LARP rather than a practical concern.

Or normal people who don't know enough to think about security and threat models who simply trust you the tech savvy person recommending them Signal which will protect them, you know, the general population. Matter of fact I would bet good money most signal users don't even know you have to verify each other's codes in person for the e2ee to even mean anything other than false security!
I’m fine with paying for this type of service,but the last thing I want to do is give money to YouTube so it can become an even bigger defacto monopoly.
The cost of doing so would be magnitudes more than what they could make from ad money.

Living in the UK, I only started to interact with my neighbours once we bought our house.

While renting, I was always surrounded by other people renting. People were more transient and the properties lacked gardens to promote to being outside long enough to see any neighbour.

In our last rental property, our upstairs neighbour changed five times in about 15 months. We gave up knowing who was who by the end.
A classic. It was such a joke back in the SA/Slashdot days. I feel like we've come a long way...into the pit...since then.
A sufficiently intelligent system that is un-aligned can likely subvert a human operator if it wants to.

But even if we ignore that, note that nobody is building their systems this way, and nor will they without extremely draconian laws requiring it. An airgapped system is substantially less valuable than one that is connected to the outside world.

I take the question “why can’t we turn it off” to refer to the actual real systems that we have built and will continue to build, not hypothetical systems we might build if we took safety risks very seriously.

Am in the same place... I consume YouTube on my SmartTv (native app on LG WebOS).

Am contemplating buying a Chromecast with Google TV, and installing SmartTubeNext on it, just so I can escape the ad barrage:
- 2 ads on video start, unskippable
- multiple (at least 2) 2 ad breaks during even a 10 minute video, almost always unskippable.

And the worst thing? It's the same 5-10 ads that you get!... they rotate in and out on a weekly basis, but the sensation is you see the same frickin ones over and over again!
I don't work in marketing, but if I ever get to speak to someone who does, I'll definitely tell them that repeatedly seeing your ad will definitely put me off your client's product, even if it is the best choice on the market.

I already own a Chromecast Ultra, but it sits unused for more than a year now.

I'll never get YouTube Premium. I (maybe) can afford it, but it's too much for what I get in return.

Java dinosaur here, used to contract in London. End of the year was always tricky to be looking for a new gig. Even in downturns things often picked up in January due to new budgets (for those whose financial years start then) and the hiring managers are no longer distracted by the coming vacation season.
The article may be an oversimplification, but your comment is an equal oversimplification. There are many environmental conditions that need to be assumed when comparing reactivity.

For instance, if you have pure Titanium, pure Magnesium, pure aluminum in a vacuum at room temperature and proceed to introduce oxygen, you get the following reactions (simplified elemental chemical reactions, the Enthalpy of formation is what is important here):

Ti + O2 -> TiO2
(Std. Enthalpy of formation is -945kJ/mol)

Mg + O -> MgO
(Std. Enthalpy of formation is -601kJ/mol)

4Al + 3O2 -> 2 Al2O3
(Std. Enthalpy of formation is -1675kJ/mol)

As a result, aluminum is most reactive, followed by titanium, then magnesium.

This is the reason why aluminum is used in solid rocket motors and various other explosive devices.

Under different conditions, these numbers may change: for instance a reaction with water instead of air may yield different enthalpies. At quick glance in water, titanium is actually least reactive when compared to aluminum and magnesium.
Not to mention you get YouTube Music too. The app is inferior to Spotify but it’s good enough and let me get rid of another subscription.

I've done the same with embedded drivers, randomly flip bits in the drivers state and see what happens. Does it recover, throw fault, hang, or explode like a bomb. I got that from a hardware designer talking about robust state machines. Any random illegal state should sequence back to a known good state.
When’s that? It’s been 8 years so far, so good.
No it isn't. Cryptocurrencies are not currencies at all, because they are all deflationary. More fitting name would be crypto assets.
>the state is bad because it declares war and sends people to their deaths

Wouldn't it make more sense to conclude war is bad, rather than states themselves?

>Its projects often go astonishingly over budget, corruption is high in many countries, and its funding is unreliable, as it's prone to not keeping the promises of the people previously in charge

All of this I agree with. But the solution isn't "less states" it's... Better states, surely? What am I missing here?

My point with the question about where a majority of our infrastructure comes from, (roads, schools, hospitals, water, electricity and sewage systems to specify as a start) the state or the benevolence of philanthropists was to demonstrate that there is quite a bit of evidence as to what structure is the better steward of societies, a bunch of rich guys, or a state with some mandate to do right by its constituents.

> no ads on youtube

Really? No ads baked-in into videos by the creators? I.e. those skipped by another add-on, sponsorblock?

> and I support creators.

Are you sure about that? Why do they need to put their own ads into videos then?

By paying Netflix, Amazon Prime, or other streaming service, you surely would: Netflix and Amazon have to pay for the content. But Youtube? They get it for free.

> my conscience is clean,

But your privacy-awareness should be on alert. For YouTube premium, you have to be logged in. You can bet, that Google profiles you based on what you watch. They just don't show you the ads right on the YouTube, but surely they do elsewhere on their network.

Think of it like browser equivalent of the smart tv connected to net.

So AI will lead to Europe? 3 day work weeks here are not that uncommon.
First of all, there is no AI. There is a statistical predictive model capable of putting a word after the other in a credible way. Then, there is the alignment this model is subjected to, which are the cultural values of a group of people inside a building somewhere within a broader culture which is the nation they are located into. Last but not least(plot twist), there is no cultural value just legal liability if you ask me.

One does not program in bash. It is a scripting language - there's a difference, even if subtle.

Just as in my parent post. Q learning is kinda old tech for AI. It works rather well though and is also computationally cheap to run. An old laptop could do it with ease.
Netflix invests in content creation, as do other streaming platforms. YouTube piggybacks it's business on amateurs, largely paying them with "exposure" and some fractions of a cent per view.

To me, Darktable has a 'feel' of a highly technical editor for people who really care about colourspaces etc, and although I hardly know anything about colour I rather appreciate that. It's interesting to note that almost all the modules that contribute to that 'feel' are written by Aurélien.

The adapter for this would cost more than the device itself, so I don't think I can use it. I'd take an NVMe module in a heartbeat though.
Well that's doable with enough embedded memory, but it will become an issue when you want to sync audio and video. So it really is less of a protocol thing and more of something that an individual product could design in, allowing a user to toggle the feature via an app.
What? Aren't AMD, ARM, and Intel advancing the state of the art of CPUs because they have open platforms, and have no monopoly or gatekeeper position on what software can run on their platform?

In the UK we have speed cameras. They have been successful in reducing serious accidents at accident blackspots. We just get a notice of prosecution if the speeding was over a certain limit; in this case we go to court, or a £100 fine and 3 to 6 points on our driving licence. Works well for us.

While true that it's not directly linked to OpenAI or Q, this paper is probably going viral now since it is somewhat related to what people know of the Q algorithm, and maybe folks are trying to figure out what it is and how it works, and this paper might be closest to it?
Can you explain a little more about why you think that?

I’m likely wrong here, but I was under the impression that companies start adopting the BSL when they notice their OSS product is being forked and used by other companies for profit and they want to be able to capture that revenue. I think that makes a lot of sense for tools like Terraform and OSS DBs. I just didn’t get the impression that a lot of companies use GitLab in that way? Like, GitLab itself is already easy and free to use, and I don’t see anybody chomping at the bit looking to fork it and offer some SaaS product on top of it.
People would get lazy and rename a file without telling Subversion they had done it, so it would write a “old file deleted, new file created from nothing” revision. Most of the merge conflict resolution machinery just couldn’t run without the missing guidance. Git infers someone probably renamed a file you edited or vice versa, which seems risky but works better in practice.
