Yes? I've mostly quit watching YouTube (and really a lot of media) because the shear amount of it and the number of predatory dark patterns have just gotten to be too much for me (it's possible that I'm overly sensitive in some way). But if it's important to him, then maybe it's worth paying some money for the experience. Personally I'm trying to get back into reading/audiobooks.

Huawei's Chip Breakthrough: Raimondo Vows 'Strongest Possible' Action
@5:27 Note the strange welded-aluminum frame the worker sets into the battery box. That's because the i3's battery is cooled by the AC system!

What a tragic car. Discontinued in 2021. The material costs of carbon fiber are dirt cheap, so in theory it ought to beat aluminum for car structure. But once you get away from simple tubes, which can be fully automated, layup ends up being most of your costs. (Not helped by the fact that i3 carbon parts were made on the opposite side the of the planet and shipped to Germany)

BMW's business case for the car had to be "once we make enough of them, costs will come down", but that never happened.
Well 40 years ago stuff was absolutely laden with exploits... if you're talking about code written 40 years ago that we still use today? Most of that stuff is battle tested and came from teams that were highly disciplined to begin with - the good code floats.

> It should be though. Unchecked monopolies, duopolies and oligopolies are antithetical to a free market economy - they stifle competition and make the market un-free as well

Some markets only support a natural monopoly though. If you forcefully break up every monopoly you'll always be in court, because after winning the case and breaking up a company, the next natural monopoly will form within a few years.

The best compromise is to only go after them if they're abusing their position. I agree the standards for that are too low though.
Nobody notices unless you have some sort of security event, at which point it's ten times as bad. If you're confident that won't happen, sure...
A success I've had is building datasets from the electronic data interchange (EDI) transmissions we receive. EDI is an old standard, and everyone implements it slightly differently, but Stedi (https://www.stedi.com) has made it simple for me to turn EDI into JSON. Like you said though, there are still folks using paper receipts/PDFs.
This video does a very poor job of explaining the quality process. Inspection happens at multiple points throughout assembly, and most problems are caught before end of line testing. There are metrics on this and it's common to shoot for 98%+ of defects to be caught in process.

There are only a few problems that would lead to a scrap job - for instance if the body of the car is damaged to the point that they would have to cut and weld new panels, that vehicle would be scrapped.

But even for scrapped vehicles, all of the components are removed to re-build that vehicle.

Basically anything besides serious body damage can be repaired. But you are correct that it is hard to fix problems. Most parts are added in one minute or less - including the engine assembly! But it takes much, much longer than one minute to remove an engine.
For me it seems strange that nobody is mentioning the obvious: noise. I would like to see a study where someone adds "RANDOM_SEED N" (with being some random 7 digit number) to each message check the distribution in lengths and use that as a control.

RAII is great, but unfortunately it breaks down when the resource it manages leaks out of the RAII type.

E.g. Whenever handing out the raw pointer stored in a unique_ptr, the code receiving that raw pointer can delete it, which will very likely lead to a use after free and certainly to a double free issue.
If I had Facebook money, I'd use Peertube to create a clone of Youtube with the Internet Archive as the storage backend of last resort ($2/GB for perpetual storage).

Both those things can be true at the same time: it's a mutually beneficial arrangement.

My dad is in his 60s, started his company with some friends in the 90s. None of them got super rich, but they are all doing well, and all slowly going into pension. The company grew to a mid-size level, but actually most of the early employees stayed, and I think the average tenure is still probably > 10 years. Switching jobs every 3 years is weird, it is pretty much the time it takes to learn the ins and outs deeply enough to be an expert. There's some sense to it, as after learning all you can, it might be better for your career to search for new challenges. There's also the nonsense that switching that often generally yields significantly higher pay.
Sure, the disagreement stems from one’s presumption of what “minimal” means.
It would only be more efficient if user mode tasks jumped directly to each other without any kernel involvement. This is actually possible, but probably useless except maybe some very specialized embedded applications. If you already have a privilege level change and pushing of registers on the stack, a hardware tasks switch just does useless extra work.

One might think that since interrupts can switch tasks, you could set up a simple round-robin scheduler by hooking this mechanism up to the timer interrupt somehow, or have device drivers in separate tasks that become active when receiving an interrupt.

But a "task state segment" on x86 is actually more like a pre-allocated stack frame, with interrupts creating a linked list of these. A task can't be reentered while it is active, and it is supposed to exit by returning to the previous task that was interrupted. Anything else requires software scheduling.

The only reason to ever use this mechanism is for handling exceptions on a specially reserved stack (for example when the kernel stack overflows).

How is that relevant to the naked twerking person at the top of the metro stairwell?

If everyone on the entire planet was addicted to meth and did it daily, but there was a single meth user who decided to twerk naked at the top of the metro stairwell and assault people, that one person should be imprisoned. Why you ask? Because every other person on the planet is (as you say) functional. Nobody cares if you decided to do drugs and then fall asleep at home while paying your bills (ie: functioning). People do care about naked twerking people at the top of metro stairwells who routinely assault passers-by.
I like this, thank you for building it.

My wish is that the book blurbs were better. For instance I click on Demon Copperhead to learn "What is this book about?" And what I see is "*A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER* WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION TWICE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE ..."

That's marketing garbage (in all caps, no less) that doesn't tell me anything about what the book actually is.

I imagine you're pulling this summary from the publisher's website or somewhere similar. Not sure how to automate a more useful blurb. FWIW, Goodreads starts "Set in the mountains of southern Appalachia, this is the story of a boy born to a teenaged single mother in a single-wide trailer..." which is much more what I was looking for.

Write javascript engines in memory safe languages. I'd vote for rust as rust and javascript's APIs are pretty similar in style, structure, consistency and security/other issues that are not memory safety.

I recommend reading the articles I linked as what you're saying is not true for most use cases. RLHF as implemented by OpenAI improves performance for one particular use case: chatbots. For every other use case, it degrades performance. The priority for OpenAI right now is to favor perceived performance in turn-based conversation over actual predictive performance, which unfortunately hinders my own usage of an otherwise spectacular base model.

> In 2022, there are approximately 582,462 people affected by long-term homelessness in the United States. The US homeless population is increasing yearly, particularly in younger age ranges. Tragically, homelessness and substance abuse go hand in hand. The National Coalition for the Homeless has found that 55% of homeless people are alcohol dependent, and 25% reported being dependent on other harmful substances.[0]

More than half suffer substance abuse. Accounting for the fact that many of them would deny admitting to drug use when asked, this is probably a conservative number and the percentage is much higher. Also this is an US average, and it doesn't take into consideration "drug tourism" in cities like San Francisco, Portland and Seattle where drug use is literally the main goal thanks to easy drug access, therefore the drug-related homelessness ratio in some places is much higher.

They also probably take into account both housed an unhoused homeless, with the nuance that unhoused homeless are more likely to be druggies and to refuse shelter. Therefore the percentage of homeless population we see every day in our streets (which is the subset of homeless more likely to affect our day-to-day lives) have very likely an higher percentage of drug use.

Finally, the US actually has another problem: we can't fill up the supportive housing units fast enough! New York has empty supportive housing units [1]. This suggests that the total number of vacancies might be even higher, as more units are added to the system regularly.

So once the profit cap is hit, won't all employees just move to Microsoft for further stock compensation with a chance of appreciation, vs OpenAI's dead end stock? And likewise what stops the non-profit from just creating a second for-profit with all the IP too: "No Profit Cap OpenAI 2, inc."

Quick bit of feedback: Having the project's GitHub link point to your personal profile comes across as rather gauche.

Yeah not just in bandwidth, but maintenance, distance, resistance to environmental factors -- I've seen fiber cans caked with mud and flooded, and still pushing data just fine -- are all massive improvements.

Plus, upgrading the optics on both ends can often lead to massive improvements without changing the lines, and on a scale that far exceeds copper.

In other news, older people are older. The median age in the US is 38.8 and for homeowners you can even throw out basically anyone under 20 (teens commonly don't own homes [citation needed]), so the median homeowner might be like 50. So it is not clear at all that this statistic says anything other than "40% of home owners are over the age of 60" (or the homes are owned by corporations, which makes this a quite useless statistic).

I literally saw an ad that was telling me than an average penis is too small to please my partner. I watched just long enough to confirm that was the message because I could not believe it was that blatant, so I assume the pitch coming was some sort of penis enlargement scam, but I just couldn't watch farther. I don't have any real insecurity in that area, but I can imagine that in my younger days it could have been effective, and I imagine that it can be extremely effective on many men.

Google has come quite a long way from "don't be evil".
>I know this is difficult to digest, but compared to a lot of the rest of the world, almost every US politician is conservative

In what way? Compared to almost everywhere on earth, American politicians are extremely xenophilic, extremely tolerant of sexual minorities, extremely feminist, more inclined towards individual freedoms in general and perhaps slightly more capitalist.

All of these things are different axes of politics that are correlated differently in different regions of the world.
Go is memory safe, that post does not means anything in real life scenario.

Do you have a single example in the last 14 years of memory safety exploit using the Go runtime? I'm talking about public and known exploit not ctf and the like.
Right. I think the bottom line is that nobody has solved this problem. Someone with no mental or drug issues can navigate the system such that they don't have to be on the streets. That problem has been taken care of pretty well. The other issues not so much. Previously maybe the problem was brushed away by putting people in jail, but that's not a fix either. I don't oboe what is.
Ha... yea.. I can't become a double watch wearer ha. As someone who like actual watches, that's too much of a faux pas.
There's definitely some improvements to shuttling the data between interface<->API, all that was done in a few hours on day 1 and there's a few things I decided to fix later.

That seems to be an isolated standpoint. While the US and UK undeniably have a big influence on global thinking, they are surely far from dominant in any than some specialised categories?

Going through some the biggest countries by population: China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Iran, UK, Germany, France, which one would you say would have a big to moderate US cultural influence? I would say UK, Mexico, and to a lesser degree Germany, and then France, everything else hardly?

In the Youtube economic model the advertisers are the customer and the creators are the vendors (the viewer is the product), so that actually makes sense and isn't really any different from any other business. The customer is king, and if a vendor pisses off a customer, that vendor is gone.

All the more reason for me to block ads. If relevance were the optimizing metric, I might see ads for things I'm truly interested in, but if YouTube is only showing me the highest paying ads and it doesn't care how relevant those ads are to me, they are just noise I need to ignore or block.

Especially when they are mostly scams and trash paying to be in front of my eyeballs. I have no desire or obligation to be propagandized, tricked, or misled by bad ads just so I can watch a video I actually am interested in.

> Does this represent progress for the FTC?

Yes. The FTC has been largely dormant on antitrust issues for 40 years. That changed for the first time under the current administration, but it's going to take a huge lift and a lot of time to rebuild the FTC into an agency that can once again do antitrust stuff. I'm hoping they get that time to rebuild. As you noted, we desperately need to reign in these huge companies & mergers.
The simple reason is probably the central management just doesn't care. If it works it works, if not they can fire the regional leaders for "failing to implement the central orders" and try it again. And if there's a fine, it's just the cost of doing business.
