Because having similar acronyms or notations used for multiple contexts that end up collapsing with cross-pollination of ideas is far too frequent these days.

Yes, but the reason to do this is that the film is ultimately going to cost more money than it is worth, or the gross represents a rounding error on the studio's balance sheet.

You wouldn't capitalize the expenses of a film that was expected to recoup any meaningful amount of money on release. Either the thing is already costing you more money than it is worth or is a brand risk, thus you look for a way to get out as painlessly as possible.

> STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT ADS

No.

I believe you missed/ignored a few facts in your screed:

1. Ads are a malware surface

2. Ads are used to pass misinformation and other harmful content

Google is failing to perform its due diligence as an ad platform for both sides of the ad two-sided market.

Ergo, my browser connection will continue to use its condoms.

Further, Google paid for little to any content creation that is loaded to YouTube. $14 subscription for hosting the median watcher's content is extreme. Charge the content creators for hosting as they are the beneficiaries with in-video subscription advertisements.

> how many lives have been destroyed by the mere existence of reddit and twitch, and by extension the human trafficking they help to support?

Do externalities not exist, or is the platform (and somehow, whomever leads YC) solely and completely to blame for the users? Why is Reddit to blame, rather than BBSes or Mosaic, without which a platform like Reddit wouldn’t have existed? Do you blame, say, Tim Berners-Lee for the fact that sex trafficking is enabled by the Internet, or only ephemeral “CEOs” and/or “billionaires”?

> how many lives are fucked up when an acquihire or business movement of some sort liquidates 80% of the staff?

Do you think getting laid off, typically with severance, is the same as getting shot or imprisoned? Do you think you are perpetually and permanently entitled to the specific job you currently have?

> I think the fantasy of the reins-holder being pardoned for the sins of their business is a concept that needs to be re-evaluated; these elements do serve to do damage as well as social good.

I think pretending losing or making money is the same as losing years of your life to prison is a weird progressive fantasy, that comes from people vastly to entitled to understand the consequences of the latter.

> a rogue cop constitutes a rogue element in society that is dealt with in fairly swift fashion

This is demonstrable nonsense, more so given that “rogue cop” presupposes cops who do egregious things, rather than simply cops who, for instance, over-police crimes or neighborhoods.
> because there's nothing to stop you from changing your mind on what that word means the next day.

Ok, that is interesting and I can kind of see it, but this is basically assuming you already have acquired language and talks about the actual act of using language. Otherwise it's a bit of a circular argument: consciously deciding what a word means, as opposed to intuiting its meaning from experience, context and memory, requires being able to consciously structure and organize thoughts. And for that you need to be able to categorize the thoughts, which requires labeling them, which already presupposes a rudimentary form of language.

(Also, if I were to "make up a word with a meaning", use it in a sentence I write down, then read it again the next day, then there is something stopping me from changing my mind on what it means: making sense of my own past thoughts. But this is a bit of a cheat because "past me" and "current me" are arguably two different entities)

The problem I have with Wittgenstein (and many philosophers) is that they rarely, if ever, seem to leave the domain of language and semiotics to consider the world outside of the signposts that the signposts actually point to. They're having too much fun with their language games.

Meanwhile, Sacks is always trying to stay grounded in what we know from research and case studies. For example Seeing Voices describes accounts of the prelingual deaf who acquired sign language later in life, and therefore were able to describe what their experience of acquiring language was like (since childhood amnesia[0] did erase the memories of this process). I can't fully recall the details on the spot here, but living without language essentially is like suffering from an absence of mental "scaffolding", making it impossible to compose ideas together to build cohesive, complex lines of thought.

So sacks also concludes that we need other humans to acquire language (really, to become human in general), but it's more of a matter of bootstrapping: in order to acquire language you need a dialogue, and you can't have that if none of the participants of the dialogue posses a language!

It's hard to call anything that comes from LeCun "news": any time you hear of a phenomenon in the ML/AI space, you know pretty much exactly the sentiment he's going to express. His entire brand is "doomers are wrong, you can trust me, I am AI daddy".

The vast majority of people can’t even describe what they want a designer to make for them, and beyond the first iteration can’t muster any adjectives farther than “more bold” or “it needs to pop”.

I don’t think these people are going to suddenly learn how to express what they want in a way that there’s a real threat to actual highly skilled professional designers.

That's actually the really annoying part to me - I don't mind paying for content or for useful services, but if you operate one way for over a decade and use that time to consolidate the entire market and get in a position where you have no real competition, and only once you own the market do you drive up prices and make the free experience awful, than that does actually seem quite unreasonable (and in an ideal world, illegally anticompetitive).

Joke explainer: "Yi," "Er," and "San" are (the partial transcriptions in the Latin alphabet of the most common words for) "One", "Two," and "Three" in Chinese.

I’m assuming that 'Yi' was used because it unifies several ideas. I’m also happy it’s an easy naming convention that is not an animal.
The difference between the instructions for iOS and Android should be informative.
I can't imagine the data scientists at Google haven't already regressed minutes viewed on frequency of ads and found a negative association, though. I wonder if they have a minimum threshold of y at which point they begin reducing the frequency of ads shown.
People like the convenience of cloud services (cloud storage and backup, easy file sharing, data and password sync across devices, etc.) and multi-device integration (cross-device drag/drop/copy/paste, continuity, call/conference transfer across devices, etc.) but these tend to be implemented with lots of daemons - which makes sense vs. a huge monolithic cloud/services daemon.

Another cause is that Apple and Microsoft are now service vendors, and they want to sell you subscriptions to Apple {Music,Arcade,TV+...} or Xbox Game Pass, and they also have app stores where they want you to buy things. The services and apps aren't necessarily bad, but everyone doesn't necessarily want every service, and they add more daemons which seem to run even if you're not using the service.

Managed systems for companies and schools also seem to add more daemons to the OS, even non personal, non-managed systems.

Finally, security has been a terrible issue, since mainstream operating systems and apps were not designed to be secure (which admittedly is very hard! and threats keep evolving) and customers have largely voted with their wallets for features and performance over security and reliability. Apple and Microsoft have tried to become more security-conscious but this has also made the systems less usable and added anti-malware daemons that do annoying things like phoning home to check if an app's developer certificate has been revoked, or repeatedly re-scanning files to see if they match a newly updated list of malware signatures.
I've been using Mailu (https://mailu.io/) for years and have had no problems. I love that it has the concept of domain admins so that people can manage mailboxes for their own domains. DNS isn't automatic, but meh. Upgrading is easy (Docker + automatic migrations).

They're definitely not running at a loss, 40% profit margin in fact.

It's also not the full picture to call them state funded. They're owned by a consortium of banks, both private and public. While the state maintains a level of ownership through their equity in public banks, the company itself is self- sustainable from an operations point of view.
I'd rather stop watching YouTube than start watching ads. I disabled my adblocker to see how bad is it and it is truly disgusting, I cannot conceive how people can enjoy YouTube with so many ads.

And before you say "just pay YouTube Premium", no, the moment a majority of people start paying $10 (or whatever it is) for YouTube Premium, Google is going to add ads to it again and make you pay $20 for YouTube Premium For Real(TM) to get rid of the ads (and/or just make the free tier miserable to prevent people from stopping paying). Google has proven that it is not above abusing the user to get money and there's no reason not to abuse the user further once you have them hooked after all.

> It is not a tooling set you would want to go back to for a bunch of different reasons but it worked well for the time.

I remember using lotus domino at one of my first jobs. There were all sorts of things I hated about it. But you could have a database - like the company’s mail database. And define views on that database (eg looking at your inbox, or a single email). And the views would replicate to a copy of that database living on all of your users’ computers. And so would the data they needed access to. It was so great - like, instead of making a website, you just defined the view based on the data itself and the data replicated behind the scenes without you needing to write any code to make that happen. (At least that’s how I understood it. I was pretty junior at the time.)

Programming for the web feels terrible in comparison. Every feature needs manual changes to the database. And the backend APIs. And the browser code. And and and. It’s a bad joke.

Commodification has a problem that for awkward teenagers to make the same fries every day, we have to ossify the process of making fries. But making good software needs us to work at both the level of this specific feature and the level of wanting more velocity for the 10 other similar features we’re implementing. Balancing those needs is hard! And most people seem content to give up on making the tooling better, and end up using whatever libraries to build web apps. And the tools we have are worse in oh so many ways compared to lotus domino decades ago.

I wonder what the original lotus notes designers think of web development. I think they’d hold it in very low regard.
The failure mode with consumers is usually pulling cables against a sharp edge. Even a pencil has a larger radius than the edge of your desk or the corner of your computer case. You can buffer the radius by putting a thick jacket around the fiber, which is about the only thing that works.

But fiber still isn’t a free lunch. The longest high speed cables already use fiber internally, but they’re expensive because they need extra optics and transceivers inside. Moving the extra fiber hardware into the laptop and client device would make the cables cheaper but make the hardware more expensive. That’s not a trade off that most people would take as most people don’t actually need long cable runs.

The above comment was trying to use Apple premium cables as the reference for being too expensive, but opening Amazon shows plenty of Thunderbolt 4 cables in the $20-$30 range from other vendors. It’s really hard to imagine a scenario where forcing every cable to be a combination of fiber and copper would make things cheaper for us consumers.
The in video sponsors are what I would complain about, but as long as Sponsorblock works I'm happy. Been paying for YouTube premium since before it was called that.
