Google pays creators out of the revenue they make from ads, and Google doesn’t make revenue from ads that were blocked. I think that would be fraud.

I think this is fair TBH. If you want Google to pay creators, but you also want to access YouTube for free without paying or viewing ads, something isn’t lining up.

This is why I let the ads roll. Even though it’s crumbs for the creator, if enough people do it, they do make money.

Earlier in the paper they define their effect size as:

g = (M_Post - M_Pre )/SD_P , where M_Pre is the preintervention mean task performance, M_Post is the postintervention mean, and SD_P is the pooled standard deviation.

I think the standard deviation mentioned is relative to overall population spread of cognitive performance, given that standard errors of the effect size are given separately?
Except they only HAD to do that because the battery simply did not have the capability to continue providing enough voltage and/or current by the time it got to about 20% degraded, which for many people could happen in just a few years. This only happened because they were putting stupidly small batteries in their phones to shave another millimeter off of the size that nobody cared about.

Either Apple did the proper QA of the battery to understand how it would behave as it got to end of life and knowingly put a battery into a $800 phone that wouldn't be functional before the phone would run out of software updates, or they FAILED to do proper longevity testing on the battery of a $800 phone.

It wasn't planned obsolescence when they added that code to keep the older phones working. It WAS planned obsolescence when they put a pitiful and underspecced battery into their $800 phone.
There is zero chance that Apple isn't doing the same. All their deals with Google are the prime example of anticompetitve behavior in the industry.

I used it to respond to a summons which, due to postal delays, I had to get in the mail that afternoon. I typed my "wtf is this" story into ChatGPT, it came up with a response and asked for dismissal. I did some light editing to remove/edit claims that weren't quite true or I felt were dramatically exaggerated, and a week later, the case was dismissed (without prejudice).

It was total nonsense anyway, and the path to dismissal was obvious and straightforward, starting with jurisdiction, so I'm not sure how effective it would be in a "real" situation. I definitely see it being great for boilerplate or templating though.

FF7 is not a remake in traditional sense, is all I can say without spoilers and will diverge more and more as the other parts come out.
It makes sense. Children takes cues about what's normal, what's rewarded, etc, from the behavioral patterns of their parents. If your parents are victims of bone fide trauma, the patterns will be different from what they would have been otherwise. So a trauma victim might display signs of hypervigilance, and children will observe this hypervigilance (in behavior, in the words used, in the attitudes adopted and result from it). So the child will be conditioned, but also, the child will likely infer the mental state of their parents to some degree. If you look hypervigilant, the child will infer "there must be danger". If maintained consistently enough, the inference is "the world is a highly dangerous place", blown out of proportion with the situation.
> They're saying the standard is wrong. Standards can't be wrong, they're tautological. All that can be wrong is the programmer's understanding of them.

I personally do not possess enough of mental flexibility to believe simultaneously both that "the standard is not wrong, it can not possibly be wrong" and that "the standard should be improved".

And how do you improve standards anyway, without breaking compatibility? Making a previously thread-safe function non-thread-safe is an incompatible change: the clients relied on the thread-safety but new implementations won't provide it. Making a previously non-thread-safe function thread-safe is an incompatible change: the clients would rely on the thread-safety but old implementations don't provide it. And adding a new function to the standard is an undue burden on the implementers, and for almost no value since no client uses that function yet, and they won't for years because they want to keep backward compatibility with existing implementations.
Implementations evolve and improve. https://lisp-journey.gitlab.io/blog/these-years-in-common-li...

I found that using a calendar or some kind of tool where I can add a mark every time I do something I want to form an habit of, it helped.
Especially with the fact that I also add my mark even if it's only 5 minutes. So it reduces the pressure tremendously if I fail, or change my mind.

Because they're ultimately training data simulators and not actually brilliant aritifical programmers, we can expect Microsoft-affiliated models like ChatGPT4 and beyond to have much stronger value for coding because they have unmediated access to GitHub content.

So it's most useful to look at other capabilities and opportunities when evaluating LLM's with a different heritage.

Not to say we shouldn't evaluate this one for coding or report our evaluations, but we shouldn't be surprised that it's not leading the pack on that particular use case.

The real problem with the 30% is that it's far too high. It could have been 0%. Why do you care about what deals with Spotify they have? Is this resentment?

> You're paying for that slush fund.

Google is probably getting the difference from Spotify in some other way. Google/Apple also have a lot of profit with their app stores because 30% is too damn much.

If Google wouldn't have a deal with Spotify, you'd still be paying 30%.
> Blazor is about the developer

Clearly. And that's exactly where the most salient criticism of it comes from: prioritizing the pleasure of the programmer during the development process over everything else, including the experience of the person who actually has to put up with using the thing—all while providing cover for the vendor who bid on the job to argue that they've fulfilled all the requirements so what are you upset about if it's a little janky? Classic enterprise crapware mindset.
Earlier in the year I had ChatGPT 4 write a large, complicated C program. It did so remarkably well, and most of the code worked without further tweaking.

Today I have the same experience. The thing fills in placeholder comments to skip over more difficult regions of the code, and routinely forgets what we were doing.

Aside all the recent OpenAI drama, I've been displeased as a paying customer that their products routinely make their debut at a much higher level of performance than when they've been in production for a while.

One would expect the opposite unless they're doing a bad job planning capacity. I'm not diminishing the difficulty of what they're doing; nevertheless, from a product perspective this is being handled poorly.

LLMs can outperform humans on a variety of NLP tasks that require understanding. Formally, they are designed to solve "natural language understanding" tasks as a subset of "natural language processing" tasks. The word "understanding" is used in the academic context here. It is a standard term in NLP research.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-language_understanding

My point was to show that their thinking, reasoning and language was flawed, that it lacked nuance and rigor. I am trying to raise the standards of discussion. They need to think more deeply about what "understanding" really means. Consciousness does not even have a formal universally agreed definition.

Sloppy non-rigorous shallow arguments are bad for discussion.

> LLM can hallucinate and on a fundamental design level there is little that can be done to stop it.

That's a separate issue. They generally don't hallucinate when solving a problem within their context window. Recalling facts from their training set is another issue.

Humans sometimes have a similar problem of "hallucinating" when recalling facts from their long term memory.
One of the big life lessons that I've learned in my 20s and 30s is that it's hard to predict what my future self will want or care about. What was my dream at age 21 became something I no longer wanted by age 25. Getting married and having kids especially altered things for me.

The real issue is the excess heat from losses (breaking, mechanical etc.) [1].

This heats the stone of the tunnels since the tube was built. The heat can't dissipate fast enough. The tunnels get hotter every year.

Because of this the tube has gone from a cool place you escape to in summer, in the early 19th century, to a place you'd look for warmth in winter. And a sauna in summer.

Any air-conditioning system that produces excess heat as a side effect will make this worse.

Even if the passengers on those trains will feel it less.

"Stress alone and stress combined with traumatic brain injury (TBI) produced a few noteworthy results. Both conditions activated pathways in excitatory and inhibitory neurons associated with plasticity, which is the brain's ability to adapt to all kinds of changes—mostly to promote flexibility, but sometimes, when the changes are maladaptive, resulting in negative outcomes. "

It's weird that this study is interpreted as changes in gene activation is bad, when it's clearly mostly good. It's like saying that micro-tearing of muscles during exercise is bad, when in fact that's the process which builds more muscles. Sure, some tears of muscle are bad, but it's mostly good, and I assume that the changes in gene expression in the brain are a form of growing and reacting to new situations, not necessarily bad.
This has exactly been my experience for at least the last 3 months. At this point, I am thinking if paying that 20 bucks is even worth anymore which is a shame because when gpt-4 first came out, it was remembering everything in a long conversation and self-correcting itself based on modifications.
Everything about this post is spot-on. The CEO got ousted because he lied to the board and went against the company's mission to make safe AGI. He tried to milk OpenAI for money and personal gain, and the board actually did something to stop it.

It's unlikely the ANSI standard will ever get updated - it's a very expensive process.

Python doesn't have a standard, but it has a canonical implementation, so maybe a "defacto standard". Not having an official standard didn't matter, though.

Common Lisp has defacto "standard libraries" for things like threading. Other things, such as async, are less clear (to me), but libraries do exist. Just because something isn't in the standard, though, doesn't mean it can't exist. Also, implementation such as SBCL pick up a lot of the slack, filling in some of the missing gaps.
> Offset burned fossil fuels carbon by reusing already produced car instead of buying new

I'm not against you, but I disagree with this point. It's one that people often make, so I feel the need to comment:

Buying a new car doesn't add another car to the waste bin; buying a new car simply adds one more car to the pool of used cars, thus reducing the price of used cars by an infinitesimal amount, and simultaneously raising the price of new cars an infinitesimal amount. In either scenario the amount of waste is unchanged.

What does lead to more car waste is cheaper new cars, which reduces the value advantage of buying a used car; exactly what we see with consumer electronics. The answer to that problem is to make the cars themselves greener, electric being the best choice at the moment.
The number of ads is getting pretty bad now. I use the YouTube app for Apple TV (so no chance for an ad blocker) and it has been slowly increasing the last two years. I even get surveys asking "How is the Ad experience?" and I always answer the lowest.

I frequently get 30 seconds of unskippable ads multiple times in a video. One set at the beginning and following sets at approximately 3 minute intervals.

At least some mid-rolls are skippable but they are totally random. Like, maybe a set of 2 ads where the first is 15 second and the second is 15 seconds that is skippable after 5 seconds. The combination of length and skippable is confusing.

More annoying is the tendency to sneak a 3 minute ad in there that is skippable. So unless I am in the room and near the remote it will just play the whole thing. I've had ads that are up to 15 minutes long.

If they would offer me a sign-up deal I'd probably just get YouTube premium at this point.

Also, the claim that someone video recording in a public space is automatically an agitator falls apart quickly when you realize that police officers walk around with body worn cameras all the time. Are they then agitators that have no business in a police precinct lobby?

And before you answer with "that's their job", be aware that the video they record on their body cams is public record in most U.S. states and can be requested and disseminated to the public by anyone for any reason.

There is no expectation of privacy in public, and this holds true in a public lobby of a police precinct. Privacy must be created, as such, if someone comes in to report a crime, the reasonable thing to do is to have the officer on duty take that person to a private room to make their report.
