Rocket Lab, Blue Origin, Relativity, China, all plan to have reusable rockets. Europe too at a much later date. Are you saying they all plan that because of SpaceX envy?

>even at high bit-rates there are types of sound

Isn't V0 MP3 basically indistinguishable from lossless, per a bunch of abx tests from the guys at hydrogenaudio (surprisingly even slightly better than CBR 320k)? Sure aac can achieve perceptual transparency at lower bitrate, but compressed 320k is still a lot cheaper storage-wise than lossless, and if you're limited to what's available then it doesn't make sense to turn it down.
> The hardest one to cut out is Google Maps, which doesn't have an ad free option.

OpenStreetMaps is considerably more customizable, has much better hiking trail data, and doesn't hide train stations and street names when you zoom/pan. Google Maps has become awful in the last few years.

Important Update Regarding Bittrex Global
I think your intuition is probably a bit backwards in this case. Viruses (especially ones like Polio) wreak havoc. A broken neck is mostly "superficial", in that the connection is severed but the underlying structures can be mostly undamaged. Polio is destroying motor neurons throughout the CNS, including the brain (which in general is always going to be the hardest organ on which to perform any interventions).

But even when a virus is not targeting the CNS, generally they have the ability to do a lot more lasting damage than blunt force trauma, as a virus can cause DNA mutations / changes at a sub-cellular level, which you will not see from BFT.

Compare it to a skin issue. Which is more difficult to treat: a large blister caused by touching the hot stove, or a blister caused by herpes?

I’d also add that many of the changes have enormous clear wins for other reasons: fossil fuels are nasty, so even if global warming just disappeared in some sci-fi miracle we’d still save millions of lives annually and improve quality of life by not having internal combustion engines or methane gas appliances. Improving bike & transit infrastructure would make large populations healthier and save everyone a ton of money, etc.

But in an unsupervised environment I know if a ball is rolling towards the road a child may be following it. What's interesting is you feed GPT a picture of a ball going toward a road it can make guesses that it presents risks because a person may be following it.

Since you pay them you have an account and is logged in. They do use the data they have collected about you to serve you targeted videos even if they don't serve you targeted ads, they say that in their privacy policy document. Targeted videos are for your convenience.

If you don't want it to target videos to you you can disable all that data collection here, at least I can (Not sure if you can outside of EU):

https://myaccount.google.com/yourdata/youtube

So go and disable all that if you feel their video targeting isn't worth collecting your data, but there is no way for them to target videos without having any data about you.
The unpleasant truth is that, other than in cases of complete brain death, there is effectively no way to do a heart transplant without murder.

I think this is a good example of the public imposing a sinister explanation on top of what is really an unfortunate reality: Pharma companies aren’t choosing to ignore the spore problem, they’re just focusing on treatments that can actually be made to work under our current technologies.

The app is interesting.

Who here rides? Dirtbikes in particular? I have a trials bike (Gas Gas TXT 250), and an enduro (husqvarna TE 150). I couldn't find a trials bike in the app, but it doesn't matter since trials bikes don't really have seats.

I would like to see a measure of standing at a stoplight. (interesting for high seat heights).

Also it would be neat to see a more aggressive dirtbike style arm position with elbows ups.
I think this is where the term "sparks of AGI" comes from.

What we are missing is loop functions and more reliable short term memory.

Of course I also believe the term AGI is far too course as it covers a wide range of behaviors that not all individuals posses. We need to have a set of measures for these functions to measure AGIs capabilities.
Sounds like speculative decoding.

It makes me think of Bisqwit, of a YouTube channel about programming https://www.youtube.com/user/Bisqwit

Form his videos, he is obviously a skilled programmer, and he seems to enjoy it a lot. And yet, as a day job, he drives a bus. I don't remember the details but it seems to be along the lines of not wanting to think hard doing what others tell him to do. That's why he makes his living with a relatively mindless job, while at the same time actively using his brain on the things he likes, doing them the way he wants to.
There are other places you can post to jumpstart your channel like Reddit or social media you're only reliant on the grace of YT if you allow yourself to be. There's also still plenty of niche blogs/news sites that can send plenty of audience to your new channel if you're producing good content. You're also misreading the hours metric it's just a rolling window not a wait period. If you hit those metrics in a week you can monetize basically immediately.
Attacking a nation state that attacked you first isn't committing genocide. Its also funny that you think the EU(the world champs at enslaving and colonizing the world) has some how evolved past the same shit they literally did in the 90's.
The other side of this is when the EM's presence is actually a negative, so them not turning up means people can relax. If "no blockers" isn't enough, then it's my job to get the information I need without it feeling like a chore. If I have no choice but to run a meeting called "standup" every day, and we're all on the same page already, I'll take "no blockers" and then have a chat for ten minutes over a coffee. Taking it easy once in a while helps everyone feel a little less "cog in the machine".
I pay for plenty of things, but I'm not going to pay an advertising giant for anything. Google is an abusive, greedy company, and I'm forced to pay too many of those in the course of daily life as it is.

When I'm given the choice, I only pay companies that I respect. If they successfully block ad blockers, I'll mute the ads and do something else while they're playing.

I'm fine paying for YouTube as soon as it's not in Google's hands. Until then, I'd consider it an ethical wrong for me to pay for it.

This is like saying Microsoft didn't have a monopoly on the PC market in the 90s because Apple had 5% of the market. They only feel comfortable designing serious limitations in MV3 because chrome owns 90% of the browser landscape.

> This is really peak absurdity. "Google made me use their service for free".

This is not absurd, they got to where they wanted through massive investor led subsidies and buying out their admittedly better competitor (remember google video?) What they performed on the on-demand video market was a form of predatory dumping, and when all the competition was gone they used that position as well as other positions to extract "value" and cash out.

Wasn't that the argument for opening up trade with China? If we trade with them surely they will become a liberal democracy.
On the stock exchanges in the USA, they do that because we didn't use to and trading bots that were mis-configured went nuts and broke the markets for a while.

Now they stop trading for (15?) minutes to let everyone make sure it's real and not their trading algorithms being stupid.

It's not about not letting the stocks crash to far, it's about making sure the pricing is accurate.

A bit off topic but I didn't know that on X people can post this long form texts with images in between (it seems that lacks headings). Is nice! A blogging experience added to a popular platform. I guess is a paid feature, fair to me. Also I don't have an account and I'm able to read it.

Some years ago I appreciated the character limit of Twitter because people have to be creative and to the point to express themselves, but with the years I start to thinking that this limitation was also a curse for communication overall on the platform.
I don't want targeted videos. I don't even want them to know I exist. Even if I never used YouTube, that is impossible.

Their tracking is all encompassing and invasive, even without a Google account. They are a menace to the world and it should be an obligation to block their ads. If Google disappeared tomorrow the world would be better off.
Why that certainly didn't help, the main reason has been misconception and religious belief:

According to a study conducted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, respondents misconceived the vaccine to be capable of causing harm to the immune system (93%), triggering adverse reactions 97.5%, to be against their social and moral values (95%), and to be not as good as traditional methods for treating children 98.5%

Bad and cheap arguments on an clearly ill-intentioned article
I mean, it's hard to say whether two different actors really perform the same job; speaking for myself the only name I recognize in that article is Christian Bale's. Plus presumably they all have representatives that negotiate their cuts, so if they agreed to work for that amount, I don't think there's much room to complain. Finally, I can't really tell if there's a trend here. The article talks about the cases of three men and three women, where all three women are paid smaller cuts than the men, but is this the case for everyone else as well?

The money can also vary a lot depending on what advertisers are trying to advertise on your account. Dan Olsen talks about there being a minor bidding war for his Line Goes Up video because it was attracting crypto advertisers during a frenzy so they were bidding up placement on anything related to crypto.

CVE-2023-1389: A New Means to Expand Botnets
"CVE-2023-1389 is a command injection vulnerability (Mitre ATT&CK T1055) with an 8.8 CVSS severity rating that affects TP- Archer AX21 (AX1800) firmware versions before 1.1.4 Build 20230219. The command injection vulnerability is found in the country form of the /cgi-bin/luci;stok=/locale endpoint on the web management interface. Specifically, the country parameter of the write operation was not sanitized before being used in a call to popen(), allowing an unauthenticated attacker to inject commands, which would be run as root, with a simple POST request."

In 2023 you'd expect... Oh well.
You normalize auto deaths per mile traveled, or per capita, etc in order to eliminate discrepancies when comparing groups that might have different sized populations or different amount of car travel.

But nearly every other similar country to the U.S. does not have any meaningful gun deaths, so there’s no need to normalize because there’s no one else to compare to.
It’d be liberating if people were realizing or accepting how artificial an aspect of modern life is and has been, and rejected it for a more meaningful life rather than ever-increasing and empty consumerism. That’s most certainly not the vibe I’m getting from this article, it’s more an affirmation of people giving up and throwing their hats into the economy of bullshit. That’s the opposite of what I would find liberating.

The world has been steadily moving away from the paradigm where human labor matters. Money is digital. Machines that produce things are controlled by software. You interface with 'humans' over digital video. You buy and sell things over a digital connection. You are influenced by mass media streamed over digital lines. Remotely controlled vehicles exist and are becoming more and more common.

Is this per unit of power produced, and is it taking into consideration the maintenance costs? I don't know the answers but it seems we could be net zero if we had invested in nuclear for more than four decades since climate change was widely accepted. Renewables are great but until battery tech becomes good enough it is not as viable as current nuclear tech.
> And since philanthropic approaches to such actions demonstrably do not work...

It baffles me that you chose to share this comment on, of all things, a post about the eradication of Polio, which was primarily funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in a _clear_ example of a "philanthropic approach" working quite well. If I had to identify one organization that has contributed the _most_ to positive changes in public health infrastructure in the last decade it would be them, above any governments, churches, or other non-billionare organizations.

Reaching back further, many/most top universities have billionaires to thank for their existence (Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, etc.), the widespread existence of public libraries is mostly due to Andrew Carnegie, and a lot of tech/science innovation comes from for-profit companies primarily controlled by or funded by billionaires.

I won't deny that billionaire philanthropy _sometimes_ doesn't work, but that's true for any system of building infrastructure that I can imagine, and is a far cry from your claim that philanthropy is demonstrably an ineffective way to solve public infrastructure problems.

I'm curious if there are other processes you see as being historically more effective, either overall or per-dollar, at producing effective public health outcomes than philanthropic organizations? If so, I'd definitely like to find ways to give them more resources.
Why would you want to do that?

I get your point. I too hate that subscriptions add up, and that too many products that were but once are moving to a subscription model.

However, this is partly on us too. For years we have been blocking ads on services we use, saying we want alternative means of monetization over tracking, blocking ads. Now this is the end result. At least YouTube still offers add supported model. Some websites have been subscription only for a while now.
