Because youtube comes with things like

* depending on another, rival company
* mysterious bugs you have no control over
* loss of your own data
* giving your customers data to a company for free that maybe even would have paid for the same data
* not your users having a conversation about your product on a media that you don't control (which is not necessarily bad, but is definitely a side effect)
* it is illegal to embed youtube in Europe, without asking consent first, and immoral in the rest of the world too*

and such. 'Funny' as in 'ridiculously bad decision'. If I were at Netflix I'd just put the videos on a netflix server in a standard media format, embedded with html video tag. Simple way to ensure that as long as the website is up the video is also up, users are not redirected from your website, the video is fast, good quality, and so on.

*Not the act, but how they do it currently. When you open the article, it tells google that you have opened the article for no reason. They should avoid this if they can (and they can), also they should put google in their privacy statement which they didn't do.
Urgh, yeah I ran into that problem. I had absolutely no idea. I was buying and selling small amounts of dozens of obscure cryptos just for shits and giggles. What a nightmare it turned into.
2053: your social credit score was decreased because of unlicensed social activity and dropped below an acceptable level. You were not fined and you still have a lot of money, but that doesn't matter, because you are not allowed to participate in any monetary transactions (in optimistic version: besides buying basic food).
I hated leaving my window just to dig up info on a scene or cast when streaming on Netflix. So, a friend and I thought thought, why not build an AI layer for streaming?

Now, SceneXtras is chrome extension that lets you chat with millions of AI characters directly on Netflix. Imagine asking Tony Stark about his suit tech mid-scene. It's half-duplex voice-enabled for natural conversations.

Also, there's SceneGPT for when you're lost in a complex plot or can't decide what to watch. It's like having a film buff buddy, right in your streaming window, ready to explain who's double crossed whom in that foreign political thriller.

It's a passion project turned reality, thanks to AI leaps. Curious to hear your thoughts, especially from those who've felt the need for something more interactive on their streaming like Amazon's X-ray.

> If you figure out how to do this, please let everyone know. I don't think it's possible. I think humans have it baked in to them to pay attention to, for lack of a better word, information.

I agree, but more than that; if we would find a way to avoid paying attention, a more pervasive way of pushing the adds would be invented.
Yes, of course, the added content would not be in the public domain. Although it should be note that certain changes such as fixing grammatical errors/proofreading would not be considered copyrightable.
Not sure about that in this specific case. I think it enters some grace period after it expires (30 days maybe?), but I can't confirm that.

Still, it's better to be safe than sorry and if someone can register it as a precaution that would be ideal.

Also to be able to seek anywhere in the steam without decoding all previous frames.

To expand on your point, both Google and Apple are rumored to be getting into the business of manufacturing cars (e.g. Waymo and the rumored Apple Car). So GM may be looking toward the future where their infotainment systems are owned by rival car manufacturers.
How would something grow in complexity yet get around the fact that changes would be hard to effect at scale?

I wish we had those in Michigan. Too many people don't understand that speed limits shouldn't be considered minimums regardless of road conditions.
Very nice. Guitar tuner apps are one of those things that should be really basic, but popular ones tend to get more bloated over time as they try to monetize it. You can buy a hardware tuner for what some apps charge.
iOS does this too. It doesn’t mean I can’t override it. And that’s what many, many, many people do. Try using an app made in Unity on iOS or Android. It immediately feels janky.

iOS has many faults, but not being able to go back is not one of them.
I think part of the pushabck against Apple is that they knew this was possible and believed they could only talk about it once it was publicly known.

Apple has plenty of lawyers. If they honestly didn't agree with this practice they could have politely told the feds to f$#& off. The fact that it took public reporting to make Apple feel safe discussing this means that (a) they did know (2) they didn't stop it and (d) this could pretty easily be little more than PR cleanup.
Originally, Amazon was great because the most popular/reviewed products were usually the best one. The opposite has become true.

For a while, websites like fakepsot.com that analyzed and rated the credibility of these reviews worked well. Since then, they've been gamed.

I'm not sure there's been a successful service for analyzing Github reviews
On the other hand, a couple of days ago I set the parking brake and absentmindedly walked out of a car with the automatic transmission still in reverse ... fortunately the brake held, I was behind the car going "huh, funny, the reverse lights are on ... oh, **!"

Stereoscopic vision? That's when you apply sensor fusion to two cameras (and a number of microphones, too), isn't it?

When I first started developing for the iPhone (back when they first released the official SDKs) Apple were really hot on their Human Interface Guidelines and had really good documentation on what made a good UI along with standard patterns to follow.

That seemed to completely vanish when they went with the "flat" design - mainly I think because none of it made sense anymore. They went from very clear:

- make sure the user interaction is obvious

to

- this might be clickable, or it might be some text or maybe it's a long press...
If that the case, perhaps you should feel that way every time you are near a road. Without commenting on autopilot performance, there are enough drivers who are worse.

Maybe autopilot just helps you realize that you are not really fully in control about everything that may happen.

The phones could just use the SIP protocol for voice. You don't need an accompanying chat app. The huge disadvantage of that is that the customer could then use any VOIP supplier for their phone calls. ... or none at all for SIP to SIP calls. That would create a competitive market in voice. A competitive market is the last thing any cell phone provider wants. They need to maintain their monopoly on the last mile connection.

This might be an interesting idea for a government interested in improving this particular market. Forbid the provision of anything but reasonable latency data by a last mile provider. Establish standards.

I note that jmp.chat, a provider of SMS and voice over internet connections, is toying with the idea of providing, pay as you go, data only plans as a complement to their primary service.

It's been a long time since I fell for the marketing slogan about a product like this being open source. I wasted a lot of hours learning that lesson. If a company has a financial incentive for something to not work, it's not that hard to make sure it doesn't.
You could say the same thing about music notation; the beauty is not in the notation, but the objects the equations describe. In order to perceive the beauty, you have to study the objects, not the notation.
I have a Tesla Model 3, but I never believed in FSD vaporware so I didn't buy it, and even if they had delivered, I would not entrust it with my life. That doesn't make Tesla's misrepresentations bordering on fraud (on the wrong side of the border) OK, but some basic critical thinking would not have been amiss here.
As one of many examples in the last several decades, the Oslo accords were moving in that direction. Hamas stepped up the violence to such an extent that the death by terrorism rate in Israel increased almost 600% and Itzhak Rabin was assassinated. The public isn’t sure what happened to Yassar Arafat but it didn’t end well for him either. Rabin’s language was changing quickly and given another few years, entity would have likely changed to state.

We’re looking for ideas that end in less violence and where the leaders involved aren’t assassinated.

Simply call them software recalls.
If I've got a std::string I can totally see passing it as a const reference. If I've got 418 bytes of RAM that I'm slicing up into "strings", how can I make the const &std::string I need from that? I could make a std::string_view easily enough, but the std::string wants to own the memory allocation, and it can't have that because it's mine. So now I'm either allocating and copying (bye bye performance) or I pass char*.

Because C++ loves implicit conversion this works even when the API didn't intend char* because it just calls the constructor on std::string to make one from the pointer. "Hooray"
Tesla recalls 2M cars with 'insufficient' Autopilot safety controls
OT, but there are three Tesla stories on the top page right now. This is advertising.
Correct, this is the part of the article expressing this concept:

> Despite Tesla's free speech claim, the US and state governments can enforce laws banning deceptive practices that harm consumers. "Beyond the category of common-law fraud, the Supreme Court has also said that false or misleading commercial speech may be prohibited," a Congressional Research Service report last year stated. "For constitutional purposes, commercial speech is speech that does no more than propose a commercial transaction or that relates solely to the speaker's and audience's economic interests. Accordingly, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) can regulate deceptive commercial speech without violating the First Amendment."
The lawyers are paid to represent the point of their clients, and that's what they do. What they personally think is definitely not getting on the outside. Or shouldn't.
Are there any good app examples of what Frank says here?

"A step-by-step sequence should be contained in a modal overlay for presentation to emphasize that the Back button in this context serves a different purpose than in a hierarchical drill-down.

The step-by-step process is usually completed with a Done or
Close button, which also closes the containing modal.

The sequence can have a variable number of steps and different paths depending on the options selected."

But this is a custom setup that's not portable?

And how is it less tedious to have to select previously typed text all the time? Is it mainly better because then you don't need to do anything on individual chars, but do it in a batch?
I made a CLI tool called Promptr that allows you to make changes to a codebase via plain English instructions:

https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr

There’s a templating system (liquidjs) included which is useful if you have a library of prompts that you want to reference often.

You can think of it as a junior engineer that needs explicit instructions.

Here are a few example PR’s implemented by Promptr - see the commits for the prompt that was used to produce the code:

https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr/pull/38

https://github.com/ferrislucas/promptr/pull/41
Yep, we did both of those back in the day. The bank switching was needed for ROM copies that didn't relocate as easily, or if you were modifying the BASIC interpreter itself.

Towards the end of the 1980's I upgraded to a CoCo3, with 512KiB of RAM (wow! so much), a disk drive (156KiB) and OS-9 level 2. Also got the C compiler for OS-9 when it was on sale (discontinued).

My final setup would have the entire operating system loaded into RAM, with a RAM disk, upon which I'd copy in the C compiler. And display it via a glorious 80 columns on a monochrome monitor. It was with all that I started writing my own vi clone, but didn't get too far.

> The agency argued that a Tesla disclaimer, which says the "features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous," is not enough to make the advertising truthful. The "disclaimer contradicts the original untrue or misleading labels and claims, which is misleading, and does not cure the violation," the DMV said.

Is this not the same as saying the fine print does not override marketing claims? Does that not apply to all the cases of sneaky clauses hidden in the TOS by most businesses? Especially wrt privacy and selling data, etc?

I'm currently building a music composition tool / MIDI sequencer that is very chord and music theory driven. You write melodies in terms of the degrees of the scale, which are relative to each bar's chord. So instead of writing an "F" it might be a "3" for the third degree of a D minor chord.

It's been a couple of weeks of work, but it's at the point where it's actually fun and pretty quick to blast out a little tune and experiment with different chord progressions.
I see some replies pushing back against committing generating source code; but I generally agree with you. There's a principle to avoid committing generated code, but sometimes it makes sense.

A few examples I had recently:

- Parts of a website are generated by converting from Markdown to HTML using a Rust script. The Markdown side rarely changes, by committing the generated HTML, it allows designers to clone the website and work on it without having to install a Rust toolchain.

- API Clients/type declarations for a given language are generated. Having them committed allows to send GitHub/GitLab links to the source when discussing code; it also allows to view a diff of the output when updating the code generator.

- Flash files used for an emulator test suite are generated, but also committed; since setting up a compiler locally is pretty hard (similar to the first point)

So my use cases mostly arise when I need to reduce friction for people joining.

For more restricted projects, I avoid committing generated code; but I still tend to reach to code generation over simpler preprocessors occasionally. The main reason is that dumping the generated code to a file instead of doing it all in memory provides better support for IDEs and debuggers. It depends on the language of course, in my case it was Haxe where you get way better support with code gen rather than built-in macros.

Of course there are some downsides such as keeping track of dependencies/refreshing appropriately and it requires more tooling; but sometimes it makes sense. Preventing people from editing generated code is a non-issue in practice: there are warnings indicating that the code was generated, where it was generated from, and how to generate it yourself if needed.
Nothing, because I was not replying to that. I was replying to the statement that "rape has not been proved" and everyone stating otherwise should "watch their language".

He also entered into a binding verbal agreement to give me $5 billion.
IMO the more fundamental root cause is the bastardization of the term AI. If LLMs don't have any semblance of artificial intelligence than they should be referred to simple as LLMs or ML tools.

If they do have signs of artificial intelligence we should be tackling much more fundamental questions. Does an AI have rights? If companies are people, are AIs also people? Would unplugging an AI be murder? How did we even recognize the artificial intelligence? Do they have intentions or emotions? Have we gotten anywhere near solving the alignment problem? Can alignment be solved at all when we have yet to align humans amongst ourselves?

The list goes on and on, but my point is simply that either we are using AI as a hollow, bullshit marketing term or we're all latching onto shiny object syndrome and ignoring the very real questions that development of an actual AI would raise.
Capitalism without competition isn't capitalism; it's exploitation

I have a litany of scripts and programs but those that reached moderate complexity are:

1. A script to canonicalize the name of PDF statements from financial institutions and sort them into a directory structure

2. A CLI (not TUI, actual CLI with custom command syntax and read line integration) for a 3rd party todo service with 2 way sync that gets synchronized with the app on ny iPhone.

3. A web app that I self host that allows me to estimate availability of bicycles at the bike share stations near where I live or where I am and availability of docks in the places that I want to go or I typically go, because I could not deal with a crowded slow loading map in the app.
Good code at the expense of "syntactic noise" in templates: a suitable tradeoff for the typical use case of short and precise templates with advanced logic backing them (e.g. the DCT coefficient tables linked in another comment) rather than large outputs with simple logic to keep the templates readable (e.g. a dynamic web page, the typical use of Jinja).
On the one hand: Strictly speaking, confirming "everybody knows" facts is good science.

On the other hand: A "warm water is confirmed to be wet" result seems like a waste of pixels on HN.
Yeah agreed, I'm not against all safety features. That one seems like a pretty straight forward safety solution though. If an auto transmission is still in gear, the parking break is on, and the key fob has left the vehicle, I think an attention-getting noise is appropriate in that case.
