Yes. Want to spend more time reading and there was never a better opportunity than the great enshitification of youtube. I’ll still be following some niche channels with less frequency as well as archive as much as stuff I want to have offline without all the dark patterns and distractions.
That's how IP based trust works though.
The star in A* doesn't have anything to do with the algorithm itself. It just means optimal.

Q star would mean optimal Q. If that is even what the star is referring to. There is still no way to know if the Q is the quality factor, query value, question, something else, or just a placeholder name that doesn't reference its structure at all
No, I mainly go to YT for specific song URLs to share on X, or personalities like Rick Beato.
> Don't ask me why they even bothered taking down fan games, though. They seem to care a lot about art assets in particular.

If talking about AM2R, it posed a rather credible threat against the success of the official Metroid 2 remake (ignoring the fact that AM2R is of much higher quality anyway). Plus it contained ripped sprites from Zero Mission, Fusion, and incorporated all of the characters and enemies that Nintendo owns.

You can't just make your own Lord of the Rings or Star Wars without infringing the copyright of the original work. Same with fan remakes.

Okay. So maybe don’t passive aggressively bring it up then
For Automatic1111, the easiest fuckups are messing with the scale and not using a model that can handle inpainting. Then there are the unintuitive "fill" radio buttons that I don't really understand myself (what they do is obvious; why you'd use them is not).

InvokeAI has a much friendlier UI, inpainting is easier, and the platform is more stable, but is lightyears behind in plugins and functionality.
Welcome to the real world, where everything is backwards
I've never actually encountered the issue of YT blocking ad-blockers. Currently running Chromium 119 on Pop OS. I don't subscribe to premium or anything like that.
Idk if I'm special but I only saw the adblocker warning twice 2-3 weeks ago and haven't seen it since. My adblocker (ublock origin iirc) is working fine and I still haven't seen any ads yet. I did subscribe to premium once around a year ago but only briefly.
I tried looking and comparing deals on budget battery powered lawn tools (mower, string trimmer). Greenworks looked to be the most affordable but there was just so many different models that the choice overload made me give up. I didn’t want my entire holiday eaten up by shopping.

(If anyone has recommendations on what features actually matter on these things and what to get, I’m all ears.)

Argh stupid B string... cool game!
It would be more helpful if you could spell that out a bit.
Yes, but not due to adblocking -- I keep history off, and the recent change to show a blank homepage when history is disabled has caused me to simply turn away from the homepage rather than mindlessly clicking links from there. (My homepage actually used to be decent before, since the suggestions were based on my likes. No longer, oh well, helped me kick the habit.)
Perhaps the most impressive feat I've seen out of 2B2T was an exploit called "Nocom".

It began with 2B2T being hit with a lag exploit, then that exploit being fixed in a 3-line patch - that patch subtly introduced another exploit that allowed the author to track the position of every player in the server at all times, down to the chunk.

I won't explain the whole video[0], but it details a story of gaslighting, 3 years of player data, and some really really impressive technical work, given this is all over a block game.

And while certainly not to the scale of Minecraft, Counter-Strike does have a (diminishing) sizeable community of cheaters that majorly play against each other, competing in technique and configuration, called Hack-vs-Hack (HvH).
I'm surprised centimeter precision is sufficient. I'd have thought millimeter precision or so would be required. It feels like 1cm could accumulate to a gap or could spell the difference between stable points contacting and not.
The threshold for someone to be unwillingly forced to undergo a psych evaluation is rightfully rather high. Not being carted away certainly doesn’t mean that doing that kind of check isn’t justified.
Yes, absolutely.

But this is intentional avoidance on my part. I don't want Google to ban my Google account because I use an adblocker on YouTube.
Reverse DNS does not give you all the hostnames that can point to a particular IP address though.
Baking Soda/Vinegar still work on Safari. Still no ads. There’s some evidence they’re attempting to block them maybe once every ten plays, but I just hit refresh and it works.
I couldn't make it after the second book, Dune Messiah. But I enjoyed the games, especially the RTS, the miniseries and the recent movie which is quite good.
Sanctions slow down advancement, but they don't stop it. Someone, somewhere is going to say "fuck it" and build it regardless.

What they can do is ensure that the sanctioned entities are always at least a generation behind. That's not especially helpful in the context of "anti-doomers will be wrong exactly once" unfortunately.
Few really talk about the third and most important and relevant immediate concern that AI will enable concentration of power in the hands of a few,

Sure for most of history it's always been like that, but to quote Monty python "supreme executive power comes from the mandate of the masses " . You could get autocratic but at some point you always had to please the people below you and them below them and so on . There are "rules for rulers" as this cgp grey video explains.

Caeser needed the support of his legionaries, Hitler needed the Germans to believe in him ,

Over the years this dynamic has changed and oligarchies require less "support of the people" from mechanization and automation.
AI is only going to accelerate this much more drastically.
it's all content farms.
Me too. YouTube has tons of content I can't find anywhere else. Talks, lectures, how-to's on all kinds of stuff. And sometimes it's very easy for me interact with the creators.
"In the hypothesis that it’s actually kind of easy to figure out if somebody is impaired ..."

I am the (unfortunate) owner of a brand new Audi eTron which (unfortunately) comes standard with some form of lane assist.

This "feature" is regularly nudging me (literally) onto steering trajectories I deliberately did not choose - sometimes dangerously so.

These nudges represent judgements made by the software that are understandable from a primitive and one-dimensional view but shockingly bad from the viewpoint of the entire landscape around me as I am driving.

On some occasions I truly believe I avoided serious injury or death by working against the feature[1].

We will learn these things. There will be blood. It could have been avoided.

What I'd want to know is what percentage of netizens* even know that you can just add stuff to a url willy-nilly.

+1 for Rick Beato, great content. Elizabeth Zharoff over at The Charismatic Voice is another lovely YT music personality.
Interestingly, the reason Google initially created it's Google Voice service back in the day was to gather voicemail audio to train its speech to text engines.

It's mind-blowing to me that with all of Google's data, Google isn't the far and away leader in this new space. I have to believe they're paralyzed by the fear of legal repercussions.
Nope, I bought Premium and it's one of my fav subscriptions (comes with music, too). However, maybe I should watch less.
One difficult thing to imagine is having no thoughts!

At least not the way I/we have thoughts.
My shoes were worn out so I bought new shoes. And my left mouse button wore out so I bought a new mouse. And my legs are worn out so I bought a theragun. (Those were bought earlier this week, actually, but 2/3 were on sale). Today I bought some groceries.
> Relying on shapes instead of types to identify results / objects

Is the issue lack of types or relying on shapes? Those can be orthogonal features, since you can have structural typing (i.e. types that are built on top of shapes). Nominal typing is often too rigid (and not the direction we are exploring in Elixir's type system).

> for example behaviors / protocols should be one implementation instead of two separate ideas

Elixir has three building blocks: processes, modules, and data. Message-passing is polymorphism for processes, behaviour is polymorphism for modules, and protocol is polymorphism for data.

The overlapping comes that modules in Elixir are first-class (so they can be used as data) and that data (structs) must be defined inside modules. So while maybe those features could feel closer to each other, I don't think they could be one implementation. One idea would be to treat modules/behaviors as "nullary protocols" but that's not what "nullary typeclasses" mean in Haskell, so it is quite debatable.

Do you have examples of languages that do both in one implementation? For example, my understanding is that both Haskell and Go offer "protocols" but not "behaviours". I'm not aware of a language with both as one.

I'd love to hear other concepts that overlap, it is always good food for thought!

Yes but I think there is room for improvement.
uBlock Origin is still managing to block ads
No, I signed up for premium a few months ago and happily pay the $20/month. YouTube has literally millions of hours of high-quality interviews, lectures, courses, etc. and paying is worth every penny.

If you find yourself watching low-quality videos, that’s a problem with your selection of content, not the platform itself.

Yeah there are options already. Swinsian and Doppler are also pretty good. But I think there's still room for improvement.

Building Upon ChakraUI in Production
I am planning to work on a tool to help develop the front end using ChakraUI with improved DX. I would like to know what is preferred according to industry standards. What is best for production apps?

Do you prefer Chakra UI or Chakra UI + Tailwind CSS? Do you use any other library for styling the components while using ChakraUI?
How do you write CSS in Chakra?

Thanks
Has that been happening?
Nope. Not logged-on to a Google account, no persistent cookies and restart the browser fairly frequently, and the particular concoction of ad blockers I'm using (and reluctant to share) is still working well.
I mostly watch tiktok
I've had Youtube Premium since it was Google Play Music All Access, so I'm happily paying the $7.99 grandfathered rate to not even have ads to block, plus I get music along with it.

Multiple creators I follow have confirmed that YTP views are worth more to them than ad-supported views so it's a win-win in my book, the cost of one single strong drink at the bar per month to not see ads while also better supporting the people creating the stuff I want to watch.
Electrical aluminum smelters are pretty common. They consume an insane amount of power, 13 to 15 MWh / ton! (to produce aluminum from raw ore).

For foundries the picture is a bit better, for instance:

There are also gas fired ones and various special purpose furnaces (recycling, for instance).
It is more likely to be fair use in this specific instance, as the copyrighted work to which the analysis is applied to is the whole game, not the code itself.

A big part of fair use analysis is in the effect on the market for the original work. If people have to obtain a copy to even use the project in any interactable way, the effect is either none (if we suppose every user of the project gets their original copy illegaly) or positive/benefitial to the copyright holder (if it makes those users actually buy legit copies)
No, I purchase premium for the family and my daughters to have no ads and music.

I like the platform and being able to get high quality long form content for my hobbies- coffee and particular streamers for a game I play.
YouTube Premium has to be the best pay-for deal of any service. I'm frankly surprised by how much adblocking talk there is when YouTube comes up on HN. YouTube is doing what I want all services to do: total elimination of ads as part of Premium. The result is it's one of my favorite spaces online, and feels miraculous in the quality and quantity of content (docs, interviews, how-tos, history, music, archival footage).

Grateful for YouTube and enthusiastic to pay for premium.
Do electric pressure cookers cook rice?

I mean do they switch off/warm mode correctly when the rice dries up, like a rice cooker, or do you have to time it?
Having used nix-built OCI images in prod, I feel qualified to comment:

* Yeah, nix defaults to giving you a "distroless" image. This is one of the nice things about it:)

* The space savings turn out to not be that significant compared to just using multi-stage Dockerfile builds - if your image is >100MB of application and associated necessary data files, paying another 3-30MB (alpine is 3, debian slim is 30) for a base image just doesn't matter that much. Compared to Alpine, nix could even give you a bigger image, though I don't recall seeing it happen.

* (Similar to previous point) As the Discourse thread notes, nixpkgs isn't really geared towards producing small outputs; it's more like Debian than Alpine.

* Not having anything but the application sounds good, but it has the very significant disadvantage that the result is (by design) missing coreutils and a shell, which means if your container breaks, you can't `kubectl exec` into it to troubleshoot. (And we never found a way to fix this; Ephemeral Containers looked like they were going to fix it but they don't share mounts with the target container and that really undermined the whole thing for us)
Same here, I think my YT usage is actually increasing
What OS are you on? Most my experience with ghub is windows. I think I have 4 dpi stops set and it's typically defaulting to the lower middle one - unless I'm gaming.

I believe there's options to have the mouse run in device mode (settings stored there, but I think the features are more limited) or via ghub where the settings might be stored on the computer. I'd need to dig in again though to remember, I've not touched it ghub settings in a while.
I don't think so, but I don't want to risk it in case it does start happening.
I've been using a G Pro Wireless without software for almost 2 years now?
I get $8/month for YouTube Premium Student and will have 2 more years, so hopefully by then the YouTube-Adblock wars will subside like they did for Twitch.
I don't YT that much anyway, but I just tell my blocker (1Blocker on Safari) to let it through. YT still complains, I acknowledge the message and refresh the page and it lets me right in after that. I don't seem to see any more or fewer ads than I did before I stopped blocking YT, but as I said, I don't use it that much.
Why? China is not interested in fighting a war with anyone.
That's the American rather than the Chinese way.

The Chinese achieve their goals over decades and generations.
Yes but not because of the ad blocking but because of the actual content of the ads. I’m not under any circumstance having the option of dead bodies appearing on my tv when a 4yo runs into my office so my time is limited to when he won’t. The kids already were severely restricted but now it’s over - no google products at all for them for now.

I’m taking the power in to my own hands like my parents did with me owning distribution and storage. Seeing these dreadful ads played on children shows has made me realize these people have hostile intentions.
I started watching YouTube less when the content shifted to longer 10+ minute videos and shorts. It's harder to just browse. So now only via specific search. However that's got worse as noise increasingly outpaces signal. I also don't log in, clear cookies, or subscribe to anything though do have a mental note of some channels. Adblockers are not a problem as I surf from Germany, Sweden or Denmark via VPN - perhaps some content just gets not shown.

I get that I'm not YouTube's target captive audience. Perhaps you aren't any more either.

No, I signed up for Google Play Music back in the day for $8/month, which has turned into YouTube Music + ad-free YouTube at that same rate. I'm happy with that price, but if they meaningfully increased it then I'd probably cancel, switch to Spotify, and cut my YouTube usage. There's already enough advertising on YouTube as it is, with creators embedding sponsor endorsements, to add platform ads on top.
It sounds like you're describing coordinated action as both the cause of and solution to the same problem.

Stopping this accumulation of power takes very little, its undoing the accumulation of power that is costly.
A friend showed me a trick, where telling youtube not to track your watch history results in no homepage suggestions. In my case that's resulted in massively decreased usage - I basically only watch my subscribed channels, and videos that I specifically search for.
What's the UX reason to use a chime rather than an (customisable) announcement?

Sounds like it’s time to start diversifying. How is it acceptable that one company could have that sort of control over you?
I decided to check this out with Google Trends, out of curiosity. The answer [1] is surprising. Over the past 5 years there's been a quite substantial downward trend in interest in YouTube, at least as far as what people search for.

Though that page probably also answers why, somewhat amusingly. Swap the related queries to sort by "top" instead of "rising" and 3 of the top YouTube related queries are: "mp3 youtube" "youtube download" and "youtube to mp3".

Because YT reserved /playlist and not /playlists. They also haven't reserved /watchs or /watched.

People will quickly realize that /playlists loads some random channel they don't care about and will click away.
Text would take a lot longer to convey information than a short chime. You would also have to localize all the sounds.
If you're that worried about that, it might be time to mitigate the risk anyhow and move from Google as a single critical dependence.

I bought a Beelink mini PC to replace the cloud VM that hosts a few things for me. I'm tired of resizing my little EBS volumes, and want to store more data. At the discounted price, I should be saving money in about a year with substantially better specs... not including the cost of my time in figuring out backups and all that nonsense.
I read it, it was ok, and that was it.

There are some fun themes in there and I appreciate that it begins as a somewhat typical "hero's journey" tale and then turns that whole idea inside out. I like the intrigue and plotting and how various factions are always plotting several steps ahead.

But none of that is why I absolutely love Dune (the novel). For me it just has this vibe that I've never been able to explain.

Maybe that's why I like it: because I can't even figure out why I like it.

Anyway, that's all crazy subjective and I can easily see why many are not enchanted by it.
Haven't noticed issues with ad blocking on laptop nor desktop, using chrome for both. On phone I use YouTube revanced and have no issues either. Logged in to an account on the chrome ones whereas revanced is not logged in. I wonder if this anti ad block is a staggered roll out

I watch the same amount. I've never seen youtube complain about my javascript protection and accessability extensions like NoScript or uBlock Origin. From all the people I've helped install or update Ublock Origin it seems pretty common though. If it happens I'll just update my blocklist files or wait a day and update my blocklist files. I moved all my important stuff (like email) off google a decade ago so they can ban my 2006 youtube account if they want. But they can't stop me from displaying public data they put out in public in the way I want on my computer (not theirs). If it's private put it behind DRM like the rest. That's what the compromise was with the W3C approving it. They don't get to make the entire web browser their controlled black box too.

I am using youtube less as a video host for videos on my websites though. I don't need to "scale" so a VPS nginx webserver does fine. Their embeds are getting worse and it's simple enough to embed a video file in html now.
Ffs… I thought you were just joking around until I scrolled down into piles of dead threads.
This one is pretty cool and definitely surprised me.

> Motor Humming or Whirring when Navigating to a Supercharger

…

> In some circumstances (such as cold weather), it is normal for the motor(s) and components to make noise, such as humming or whirring as it generates heat to warm the Battery.

Super cool that the motors can be used for things other than moving the vehicle. It reminds me of how ESCs for RC vehicles use the motors to generate audible chirp tones to indicate status.

Motors are multi-purpose devices!
