A random sampling of things GPT-4 has helped me with lately:

Where are the dates in whole foods? (A: with nuts, not fruits and veggies)

How can I steam bao without a steamer basket? (A: saucepan, 1" water, balled up aluminum foil, plate, baos, lid)

Any guess as to when this photo was taken? It looks like anywhere from the 70s to the 90s. (A: the photo paper has a logo that postdates a 2003 company merger)

I think for Amazon it will come down to how they want to be perceived as a brand(and twitch was a brilliant purchase for this) - I don't think they can be too cheap/cash-iny, especially with YT as an eternal looming foe.

I wouldn't be surprised if they kill it in part because it's asynch injection/infestation into what's part of the competitive differentiation of streaming vs recorded videos - live chat.
A catastrophe is not synonymous with a black swan event. Your friendly insurance company estimates the probability of catastrophic losses on a regular basis.
the "your clone lives for a few hours to interact with an alien individual" is the price.

but the image can live much longer (story says 59 years), and you can talk to it.. so the benefits are great. Moving to computer to escape illness or debiliating accident is an obvious use case, but there tons of smaller benefits. Make a 12-person startup where each employee is yourself. Unsure whether to learn Lisp or haskell? Learn both in two instances. Feel last 20 years of your life wre a mistake? Restore old backup..

The possibilities are endless, but the price is high. Would you want this? I am not sure myself but I can imagine someone else saying yes.
Quoting Ayn Rand at face value in a scientific paper - that disqualifies it for me.
they're not saying it because microeconomic pressures result in a system where YouTube is unenjoyable or expensive.
As humans, we can organize this system to be an enjoyable, free tool, and Google won't be terribly affected by the minor loss in profits
but instead,
the pressures of capitalism drive innovation to optimize for an undesirable outcome.
this isn't negative commentary on capitalism itself, but a roundabout way of saying Google is fucking greedy, I'm a student, and nobody should ever have to pay 9 bucks for youtube.
There really is no free lunch.

// insert some clever "you are the product" here.
The equivalent behavior on YouTube for your analogies would be for you to mute the ad or to browse a different tab while the ad still plays. Removing the ad altogether is very different. TV and radio can’t (last time I checked) tell if you’ve muted the ad, changed the channel, or have walked away. There’s no telemetry they can access that tells them that, so there is no legal course for the ad companies to say “we’re not going to pay you for that ad” because the best the TV and radio companies can do is say “yup we ran it” and there is a guarantee that every person at a minimum had to wait the amount of time the ad takes, and many will likely just endure it. On the other hand, it’s absolutely possible to track ads getting blocked and skipped altogether, and ad companies have legal grounds to say “we won’t pay for that”.
That's true. Would you then agree that an event loop is very well suited for web server workloads, with short lived requests + reasonably light CPU usage + lots of IO, which happens to be the territory both Rage and Puma are situated?

You said the benchmark is "entirely irrelevant" because it doesn't take into account a scenario that is explicitly not the goal of either project. For those workloads Ruby is already far down the list of best choices.
> Apple should be supporting RCS as the GSMA standard, not RCS as what Google forced its way upon carriers

Apple and Google are equally guilty of forcing their way upon carriers. Indeed, Apple has probably done more of this (visual voicemail, etc.).

(This is orthogonal to the concept of whether the carriers needed or should have needed forcing).
It costs them even more to also serve me an ad that I will resent and refuse to click on / follow the CTA.
in due time you'll be paying both for content and watch ads, as is the norm now on more and more platforms.

It's an absolute category error to think you can haggle with for profit corporations worth trillions about when they've extracted enough value from you.

I don’t know. When youtube bypassed adblockers on iOS, I found it quite natural to break that habit and stop using youtube.

I stopped watching TV 20 years ago, I have been using ad blockers as soon as they were introduced. The habit of not having to sit and watch some commercials is the most entrenched one in me. Hard to reverse a 20y habit.

correct. internal apps are usually built by developers for internal users. examples include processing refunds, updating customer information, managing user permissions, triggering batch jobs, and etc.

the goal of internal apps is to optimize tasks that are tedious and time consuming, but not too common for an off-the-shelf product to be available.

since the internal apps aren't the main product developers work on in a company, they prefer to build them quickly with minimal resources.

internal tools usually run on a server, as does Dropbase

> "Hi! I'm Lexi. I'm 17..."

Holy shit. This girl's going places. I just skimmed https://kognise.dev and saw that in addition to the deep understanding of TCP/IP and all 7 layers of the OSI model she appears to posses, she also does front- and back-end development, embedded hardware, mobile apps, and compilers. She also rock climbs, can pilot a Cessna (all by herself), build robots, plays (and composes music for) the cello (since she was 5 years old apparently).

Do I need to keep going? This is nothing short of incredible. If I did 1/10 of the things this kid's already done by the time I kick the bucket I would have lived a full life.
Awesome idea. I'm curious how comprehensive your set of evaluations is. For example, how does it compare to OpenAI Evals? Could I import evaluations from there? Add my own?
Imagine valuing yourself and your money so little that you'd pay a company who is actively harassing you with unwanted attempts at manipulation to pretty please leave you alone and let you see the free content you want without interruption.
I'm kind of torn. On one hand, I agree that if you use a service, paying for it so it can continue to be enjoyed by all makes sense. On the other, I'm not sure there's a tech company fighting against my interests as a regular person harder than Google is, and I don't really want to give them money out of principle. Maybe there's some hyperbole in that last sentence but hopefully my point is made at least.
What you wrote is like:

"Hey fellow hackers. I am a hacker myself and I totally don't work for Google. Ads are good, mkay?"

Bruh, dunno what planet you live on and how brainwashed you have to be to think blocking ads is theft. It's like getting a fine when there are ads on the radio and you change the station, or ads on the TV and you changing the channel.

It's your device, it's the creator's content, and Youtube facilitates you seeing that content. In return, they can (and very much do) monetize your usage data, your interests, etc, and give some of that value to the creator. That should have been the relationship between creator, service and consumer. However, monetizing the trove of data they have on you is not enough for them.

What they are doing now is motivated by pure corporate greed and desire to squeeze every possible cent out of their dominant position. They can and don't care about your experience, knowing that there is hardly an alternative for you, and that, my friend, is called a monopoly. And wherever there are monopolies, users suffer. So don't sell me the idea that poor poor Google can't make ends meet and need to force feed me 100 ads during one video so they can survive. This is a monopoly saying a big "fuck you" to their users and trying to scalp them by enshittifying their service and forcing you to pay for the "premium".

Forcing you to watch content that you didn't want to and pausing the ad counter while you have clicked away is the TV equivalent of the ADs following you on every channel and not relenting until you have watched them. They have no excuse
It's really not. Just make the "superior product" interoperable.

I uBlocked the original adblock-detection popup and haven't looked back since.
Old topic, as old as smartphones. There have been several communities like yours posted over the years, but I haven't saved them and probably won't be able to find them anymore (another modern disease).

Teens are glued to the screens because of technologists dopamine-hacking their minds and later realize that it was all a waste of time (or they don't realize it and are just left in an uncomfortable, diffuse void). You can see these sorts of engagements happening live on mainstream social media en masse around the clock.

I'm find it unlikely to solve via yet another platform, because:

1. it will be unfocussed by default. The best virtual connections I made were in communities built around something else (e.g. specific (and obscure) games/topics). It got your foot in the door and served as a self-selection mechanism/created common ground from the get-go.

2. it will be inherently more tedious to engage in than in the passive consumer setting. Making interesting, lasting connections means getting to know social quirks and habits and all and may require lurking/revisiting for weeks/months depending on the setting, and most importantly mutually solidifying your new connection (i.e. it doesn't stay optional). It definitely cannot be bought by making donations to your favorite streamer. This may strongly depend on mutual intent, and I may be wildly off here.

I'm also convinced that we connect on a mental level. F2F interactions are sideshows to me at first and I'd rather not do it until I already have a good picture of you (voice is okay), but YMMV. For a very personal connection they become important eventually (but this level I haven't reached with anyone I met online because I didn't want to).

Good luck anyway. Everybody's different. I'm certainly glad I have most of my school (and even some kindergarten) friends still with me!

Also, the best way to solve this IMO would be to turn off all the parasitic platforms. Things would sort themselves out very quickly, but in this market you unfortunately cannot sell anti-consumption...

Also, your in-person angle seems something that one might do on their own, i.e. you'd look for local sports, arts clubs or the like (see 1.). Haven't used your platform, but these should probably be involved on there.
The typical candidate I might ask doesn't know that IP packets include a TTL field. So we start simpler: "What is a packet?" "What is a router?" "How does a packet get to the destination?" "What if there's a routing loop?"

Some candidates throw up their hands immediately, which makes it a short interview. Some candidates already know, which makes it a useless question and we move on to other things. For everyone else, I think it's a good interview question.
This is clever and I'm definitely using it.

Website idea: a downdetector-like site that uses reddit's "here now" numbers to give insight into whether something is going on with a certain thing.

edit: Has anyone else not really been affected by the new youtube adblock policy at all? I think I have seen the warning a single time, and I use youtube all the time. I only use ublock origin and privacy badger... on chrome. Maybe that's it.
> Yeah, here it comes. In these conversations you don’t need to ask very many “why”s before it just turns out that the antagonist (you) has an axe to grind about OpenAI, and has added that the their misplaced sense of expertise with regard to the typical standards of proof in academic publications.

I would find it borderline acceptable being offended by a user whose name has obviously been generated using a password generator if you could at least provide some substance to the discussion.

100% agree. Those people who care about that shouldn’t use YouTube or any Google services at all.

>Imagine valuing your time so little you waste it trying to block instead of just abstaining or using premium.

I mean it takes ~15 seconds to update uBlock Origin's filter scripts any time there's an update to bypass YouTube. Based on my current salary that's under 50 cents worth of my time. Also I've actually had zero adblock warnings on Firefox so far, my wife had issues on Opera and uBO wasn't updated yet and I spent a minute getting Firefox set up for her so I guess that was about $1-$2 of my time.
While you make a good point, I think it's safe to say that Youtube is quite a lot more significant for the average person than facebook is.

Say that I wanted guides or tutorials on fixing something in my car, in-depth steps for making a certain recipe, or even programming courses. Youtube is easily one of the best resources for all of these and everything in general.

Saying to write-off one of the internet's best tools just because they've pushed out mv3 seems like giving up too quickly for me.
Just like steam tractors were designed to replace horses.

Which is a fascinating factoid really, because the farm tooling was designed to run at a certain speed (maybe not intentionally, but, over time, that's the design criteria regardless), so the tractors were designed to run about as fast as a horse so all existing tooling could be retained.

It wasn't until much later that tooling was redesigned to work faster.
Websites will require digital ID just to use them, along with remote attestation. They will also be able to ban or block you in an actually effective and comprehensive way.

There will be a chilling effect because people won't want to upset their Google/Microsoft/Apple/Meta etc overlords by saying or doing the wrong thing, and then get locked out of services they need to exist in society, do their job, spend money, etc.
Shopify has a styling library for React Native called Restyle: https://github.com/Shopify/restyle

I like it a lot. It lets you define a theme with design tokens like spacing and colors, then enforces using only those via TypeScript (with an escape hatch via style prop), which also gives you editor autosuggest support without hacks like the Tailwind extension.

Decades ago, I attended a nuclear engineering course at Hinkley (or perhaps Oldbury - both power stations with gas-cooled magnox reactors.) I recall being told that the reactor had a slightly positive thermal reactivity coefficient. It had an automatic control system that did not work well, so they operated it manually. There was a simulator for training, run at 10X real time, and we all got to try our hand. It was not difficult, even at the sped-up rate.

There were multiple automatic safety systems ready to stop anything bad happening if the operators somehow lost control of it.
I still can't believe there wasn't greater pushback to the removal of visible dislikes. They were incredibly useful as a quick indicator to see if something might be wrong with a video.

> exceptions apply

There are multiple conditions required for naturalization. What you're referring to is the continuous residency portion. Continuous residency is defined as the period prior to application an unbroken US residence. What constitutes a break? An absence from the US of longer than 6 months with very few exceptions (eg working for the US government or military is I believe about the only exception).

Generally yes, 5 years of continuous residency is required. Marriage to a US citizen is the most common exception: 3 years of continuous residency (and being married to the US citizen for 3+ years). There is another though: 1 year of service in the US armed services also will qualify the continuous residency requirement for citizenship by naturalization.

If you do have a gap in continuous resiency, a new rule kicks in. IIRC instead of 5 years of continuous residency, you qualify 4 years and 1 day after your return to the US (assuming no 6+ month gap in that time).

> who was kind of behind PayPal

Musk was nowhere near "kind of behind PayPal".

Musk had an attempt at an online bank that was ... not going well.

Confinity had built a prototype/MVP of PayPal. They'd already got it running. They had trademarks, everything.

Then they merged with Musk's company. Musk was the largest shareholder, and was made the first CEO.

He remained CEO for four months, most of which he spent trying to be stubborn about throwing away the entire prototype to rewrite it in Windows/IIS and Classic ASP (i.e. Visual Basic) because he didn't understand Solaris and Java.

The Board got so sick of this that a couple of days after his four month anniversary, when he'd just left for two weeks off on his honeymoon of all things, they fired him in his absence.

Apropos of the recent OpenAI clusterfuck, think about how badly you have to fuck up as a CEO of a company that you're the major shareholder in that they fire you (no "concentrating on my family"), let alone while you're on your honeymoon.

Healthcare is not my favorite issue. It’s a fundamental human issue. That’s why I selected it.

In comparison, right to repair is a niche “favorite issue”.

One of these things is trillions of dollars in the national budget, the other, barely any one even thinks about.

Why do I want lawmakers to bike shed on right to repair while healthcare is unsolved?

Vincent and Clara's videos are offered for free and there is zero obligation for anyone to pay either of them anything whether it be money, time, attention, or engagement.

If someone who spends less of their time watching Clara's videos chooses to support Clara because they value her content more than Vincent's, or because they feel like Clara needs the money more than Vincent does, or for any other reason that's entirely up to them.

Its relevant to what I stated, that interpreting the data that traceroute provides is not simple. The mechanism itself is indeed very simple.

Have you never been asked a question in an interview that starts a discussion or has follow up questions? In isolation its not a good question, true for most questions, but to initiate something deeper its good. After the initial explanation of how it works you can get into how you have used it, what kind of issues you have solved with it. Then maybe look at an actual case and give your interpretation of the data. You could get into router hardware architectures, what the control/data planes are, why some drops in the output are not a problem and when they are, ECMP, why bidirectional traceroutes are useful, routing topology, flapping routes, etc.

> In the US, there used to be the idea of "sidewalk culture"

> In most of the US, it's now a car culture.

In my experience cars have nothing to do with this. I grew up outside the US in a very car-required area.

And yet what you call sidewalk culture was and is the norm of daily life. You go outside, meet the neighbors, play board games on the sidewalks, have beers with them deep into the evening, simply hang out outside a lot. I miss this a lot.

In the US they invented an actual fake crime for the idea of hanging out outside - loitering. You try your sidewalk culture in the US and the police will show up to break up your illicit activity (eyeroll).

In the US you must be at home or at work or commuting between them, or spending money shopping or in some corporate-sanctioned entertainment venue.
