Apparently I'm too neurotypical, because I also would agree that judging a person based on only 2 character traits ("Capacity and Intention") is fairly unethical.

I'm sorry neurodiverse people that the world and most humans don't fit into neat categories and systems that you can predict and standardize. And I'm sorry that this makes it harder for you to navigate it. But we get around this problem by recognizing and accommodating the folks that need it, not break the world to fit the desired mold. (i.e. add wheelchair ramps to every building, not force everyone to use a wheelchair)

I realize this is just one example, but it's the one the author chose for that video. (The Cyberpunk thing just seems like a bug.)

To me it seemed like the video was leading up to a 3rd example - of asking Claude about why does japanese culture appreciate precision. THAT would've been a great example - because without any context, that does come off as a racial stereotype (not a negative one, but nonetheless), but for a variety of reasons (covered in the ChatGPT response he included), it IS fairly ubiquitously accurate about Japanese culture, and is worth understanding why. If CLaude had refused to answer this, it would've been a good example of overly arrogant misjudgement.

But he didn't include that, and we can probably guess why - it answered it fine?

I decided to fact check it myself and found out Claude is not yet available in Canada - https://venturebeat.com/ai/anthropic-brings-claude-ai-to-mor...
I'm speaking as a naive end user here. BankID in Sweden turns 20 this year. I've been using it for 15 years. Started out as an app on Mac, Windows, now it's on your cellphone.

People have critizied it but in 15 years I have yet to hear about a security issue with the app or the protocol. I have yet to hear about a problem with it.

All I see are advantages.

And Sweden isn't alone in using some sort of eID.

So how come the EU can't just build on existing experience? Why are they making it more difficult?

If I ask it what color an orange it and it says blue, that would be wrong.

If you ask it a question and it makes up a completely fabricated story, like for example the case files in that recent legal case [1], then saying it was “wrong” doesn’t really seem to capture it.

Calling it a hallucination is a great analogy, because the model made up a plausible sounding, but completely fabricated story. It saw things that were never real.

Ah the fallacy of content piracy harm. If I steal content it doesn't cost the creator anything. I was never going to pay for said content anyway. If I enjoy content to to point of being willing to pay, I would do so anyway, even if I could keep getting it for free, if there is an agreeable way to do that.

This applies to software, books, video, music and everything else, and has been proven time and again.

Google has just taken advantage of network effects. To say that we wouldn't have it if not for Google is clearly wrong. The first internet content distribution networks (anon FTP and UUCP) were free and cooperative. If Google didn't exist we'd surely distribute video cooperatively too, and likely much more efficiently, they were just more convenient. If they stop ad blocking that's no longer the case.

The free ride is not over, it's never over. All that will happen is that business models will change as the market adapts to people's demands and behaviour. The internet has tipped market power in favour of consumers over corporations.
That it survived 15 years without a crackdown on adblockers is the real story here. Most VC-subsidized too cheap to be sustainable services don't last a year.

The storage and bandwidth YouTube consumes must be extremely massive, and it probably only survived because Google made up for the loss in other places. Of course it has to pay someday, at latest when other revenue streams are drying up.
What I wonder is who is pushing them to do this? Or is it coming from within? If they could somehow prove that everyone definitely saw each ad they played, what actual difference would it make?

2022: World's first psychopathic AI hailed as major breakthrough

edit: 2022. Didn't realize this was already around.
Your [2] note about using website names in emails is an awesome but underrated benefit. I’ve been doing that with hey.com email at the moment. (Using a custom domain, any address that doesn’t have an inbox goes into the “catch all” box. I can upgrade an address to a real one by setting up a free alias address which is pretty simple in their UI.)

I’ve only caught one sold email being used for spam so far (sketchy wristwatch store that wanted an email to unlock some discount I never used) but really happy I’ll know about the next one.
I think the character was not in the first book. Maybe he appears in Green Mars? It’s been so long since it read them.
Star Trek shows last for decades as revenue generators through syndication, streaming, merchandising, novels, movies, theme park events, and etcetera. A new series may draw people in, many of whom will stay to watch the older series.

Now that the series are basically only available on streaming through CBS/Paramount I don't know what syndication gains are being made, but I'd guess a huge percentage of the CBS/Paramount streaming subscribers are staying subscribers for the huge Star Trek library. It's an anecdote but the last time I quit Netflix was when they lost Star Trek and I realized I was basically only hanging on for Star Trek episodes (after about a year and a half I resubscribed for other content).
Well, with Scrum or whatever usually passes as agile, I have no idea either. And I imagine people can't really answer your question, because almost nobody practices the stuff on the manifesto. The motto would be certainly be to bring the customer around to specify your tests, but the actual procedure is a bit hard to imagine the details.

Anyawy, my comment was just to point that it's not exactly the manifesto stopping you.
"the only reason this is upsetting to people is because it seemed to be free for so long"

The issue, at least to me, is that Google has a sort of monopoly on >99% of content on Youtube. They provide virtually nothing[0] to content creators other than free†⸸ video hosting, and in return they get to gatekeep the content itself. All of the cost is offloaded onto the consumer, and there is little to no incentive (arguably negative* incentive) for the people producing the value (videos) to move off youtube.

"It costs to make and it costs to deliver."

It costs to make, but it's not Google that has to pay. It costs to deliver, but why should Google be the only party who gets to deliver other people's content?
If the situation was "watch video on youtube with ads, or watch video on Peertube, or watch video on Odysee" I don't think many people would be complaining about mandatory ads on Youtube, but because it's "watch video on youtube with ads, or don't watch the video", people resent the dilema.

[0] The most tangible, by far, value Youtube provides is the huge audience, but that's just a feedback loop, not due to quality or effort. Actually, it's probably due to the fact that many people who make great content have historically only put it on Youtube, because of the huge... and so on.

Thank you for this comment, it helps to contextualize two moods that I have, as one who has struggled with depression (not currently, but off and on):

When I’m in a low mood it’s easy to see and dwell on the new problems and discount the efficacy of the new tools.

When I’m in good spirits it’s easy to see the new tools and (temporarily) forget about the new problems.
This is like calling the nuclear anti-proliferationists useless when they had just gotten started. AGI has only been in the general public's consciousness for about a year since ChatGPT released (before then far fewer people were worried about AGI as it seemed to most to be decades away at least). I think it's a bit early to throw in the towel and call them useless. Making progress in this area is difficult, which is why it needs considerable time and money thrown at it. The only real solution is to fund alignment research, putting a halt to actual research is unachievable as you can't police that world over.

I also find any argument saying 'don't worry about AI' as completely illogical, and unlike the author i don't mind stating why. I have yet to hear any arguments that are sufficiently persuasive to convince me that there is zero risk from AGI. I am an AI researcher, and while I think a lot of the risk are over blown, I cannot prove that AI is not some sort of existential risk. Even if you put the likelihood of that at less than 1%, that's still warrants a lot of research and effort to help prevent that from happening. There are no second chances, once the world ends that it. Life is not a video game. This is true of any sufficiently powerful technology, if it gets into the wrong hands or is abused, it can be very dangerous. Einstein didn't think up general relativity to develop nuclear weapons.
> most games are gacha games.

No they're not - if you include mobile games, sure but they're not really the same thing as PC/Console games. It's good to criticize this stuff but the hn crowd seems to go into full moral panic mode when discussing video games.

It's really easy to find hundreds of really good games that don't have predatory microtransactions, just download steam and pay attention to reviews.
> It's someone else's service they ran at a loss.

IANAL, but running a service at a loss until you have a monopoly position and then cranking up prices sounds illegal.

> Remind me to never invite you over for dinner. "Why should I have to split the check now? You paid for my dinner yesterday!"

I dunno; if for 18 years you give away free food, not to just to one person, but to an entire town, and then one day when nobody else is left selling food in town decide to start charging, I think it would be quite reasonable for people to be cross with you.
Big City: "Hey WM, we appreciate the valuable service you provide us just like you appreciate the monopoly on business we grant you. Trouble is, your industry doesn't seem to innovate at the same pace as other industries. Starting next year, we are going to levy taxes and fees on your business model. You can avoid paying these fees if you invest in technology to meet the following requirements: lower miles driven by your fleet, segregate 95% of plastic bottles, glass bottles, and food cans (they still go to the landfill, just in a particular place). Don't want to change? Fine, we'll bust your monopoly and you can compete with firms that will innovate."
They stay unprofitable forever individually but they stay on YouTube instead of making another video site popular, which on the whole is better for YouTube.

> I’ll go full Luddite mode before I start watching ads on anything.

That's the spirit! Ads are cancer for clear thinking and create widespread harm.
Is there any precedent at all for this? This feels more like a Netflix than a Google move. Google's consumer facing offerings have not really rubbed me the wrong way yet, except maybe the consolidation of music services into their worse one.

Ads pay near to nothing compared to a subscription. Why would they jeopardize that. Even someone who buys Premium in a country where it's exceptionally cheap makes them more money than an ad user.

There is no meaningful security difference between commercial operating systems and hypervisors when considering technically competent, commercially-motivated attackers. No systems built on such insecure systems can stop even minor attacks staffed by a single-digit number of FTEs. Maybe there is a material difference, but it is irrelevant compared to their total inadequacy relative to the present threat landscape. The person who can climb Mount Everest is still no closer to achieving orbit than the person who can only climb a tree.

To move beyond the mere practical aspects, even theoretically you are wrong. The techniques needed to develop a secure hypervisor are basically exactly the same techniques needed to develop a secure operating system. They are almost trivially transferrable. If you can do one, you can do the other. So, again, no advantage to preferring a hypervisor based solution.

There’s a pattern called the call-with pattern that gives you this dynamic behavior of blocks. But, in many cases, Ruby and JS use this sort of dynamic “macro” where there’s not really a benefit to dynamic evaluation: with a macro you can always wrap the block of code with an anonymous function at macro-expansion time and opt-in to dynamic evaluation; Ruby blocks (and arrow-function DSLs in JS) force you to pay the overhead of dynamic evaluation even when you only need compile-time information

I'm not talking about recycling though. I'm talking about tossing the same category of waste into the same pile, so that at a future date it may be economical to retrieve and recycle. Haven't you seen the expose's (sorry I dont know how to type the accent char) about how the "recycled" plastic is shipped to china and burnt in a bonfire? But someday if there's a million tons of plastic soda bottles, someone might find it economical to make jet fuel out of them, whereas they wouldn't if they were mixed in with metal and organic waste.

It was published in Science more than a year ago. I was assuming there was a retraction when it appeared at the top of the front page, but no, it's just a repost.
Many decades ago, before we had files, we had data storages that do what you describe. They stored records of data. No need for files.

What happened, is we discovered that files are really useful because you don't need to declare the format of data that goes into the file. So the operating system can handle things like reading and writing and the application can organise how it wants to keep the data in the file.

The same really is for sockets. It is really useful to have somebody transfer the data for you in a stream and you, the application, only worry about the format of the data.

The misinformation is insane. Diet advertisements of don't eat this, etc are disgusting.

It follows the same pattern of those Google searches that pop up like 'what are some of the benefits of xyz' written by someone with 0 scientific knowledge, on a page with 0 references to studies. It is merely there as filler content to lure people to the website.
The reason people like blocks is that they give you a nice way to embed DSLs in Ruby code. The fact that they’re “just closures” seems like a secondary thing in most uses I’ve seen of them.
People quit their jobs and make videos full time thanks to YouTube ads. Those videos wouldn't exist otherwise, people would be busy working regular jobs.
If he lives in the United States see if your state has a coalition of the blind. If you contact them for services and make it clear you are not looking for financial support but help with activities of daily living they may quickly help you with many things including this. If he does need financial support that is fine but be aware that might put him on a waiting list whereas if he has adequate income from social security/pension/401k/etc that makes the whole process significantly easier (usually, this likely varies wildly by state tbf)

Advice in this thread will be helpful but a person who can come to his home on a semi regular basis to help continually train will be far more beneficial. Additionally they can assist with a broader range of tasks like caning, adaptive equipment for meal prep, braille instruction, etc.

I've paid for content on YouTube before, through Purchases, and I won't do that anymore if there's even a hint they'll try to detect my adblocker in the future.

Thing is, I'm not going to pay their excessive and ongoing subscription fee under any circumstances. I watch maybe an hour of videos a week, but all of them are just to kill time, and they're not worth double digits a month to me. I was happy to have a transactional relationship with them for paid content, and they likely made a net profit from me even with an ad blocker, but if I can't trust them to provide ongoing access to the content I bought then I won't buy any more.

Latency doesn't affect throughput. As soon as you fire off a call to an external vendor, your server can work on processing the next request. It doesn't matter if that call takes 10 ms or 5 seconds. Even if it took 30 seconds, that means you need to be able to handle 12k concurrent requests (almost all of which are asleep), which is nothing.
