'Now'??!? Youtube's search has been literally broken for more than a year, several of us mentioned this on HN months ago.

e.g. Y-search used to honor the operators like 'intitle:' and `|` like G-search, but that functionality is long gone. I'm not even convinced '-' works anymore.

Nothing's gonna save their query system except Google's backend engineers. Good luck waiting for that.

Until then I highly recommend using userscripts/addons to bring some sanity back to using the platform:

'Block Youtube Users' : "hides videos of users/channels from home, search, related, and comments"

https://greasyfork.org/scripts/11057-block-youtube-users

~~ My favorite! It's like GHHbD[0] but from within Youtube.

How about OLED microdisplays? You could have full HD and thousands of nits of brightness.
There is a universal way of fixing this for all your desktop apps: locm your computer. It works similar to locking your phone: when it's locked, you have to first unlock it with a password or something, in order to start using the decide and it's apps again. As long as it's locked, all your data is protected.
There's "scam" in the sense of "it didn't do what they said"/"charged me more than they said", and there's a more colloquial "scam" where the UI is designed to obscure the cost of a task (quintessential dark pattern stuff). I don't think the reporter is saying "they lied about big query", they're saying the UI is set up to make extremely expensive mistakes very easy, and it's set up to hide the actual cost of the query.

Estimating the total cost of a query is obviously fraught, but from the UI and other comments it sounds like BigQuery knows up front how much data a query will require, and there's at least a minimum cost per TB, so the UI could just say "this will cost at least $X" but the UI has a very basic "this will process X PB of data" text. So they're charging by TB but showing the usage in PB which is a) a 1000x smaller number, and b) visually similar to "TB".

It's very hard to see that as anything other than "design to obscure cost" given that there's no reason to not say "this will cost $X" when the cost is per TB, even if they don't the pricing is per TB but they're showing PB, the checkbox and the textual description are smaller that other text on the page, and there's no ability to specify a cost cap.
I’m only 100 pages in but I’m hooked! I never took the time to understand just how complex the logistics are behind the silicon that powers basically everything we rely on. Totally worth picking up.
I never deployed it professionally but wouldn’t getting a Mac Studio be a better run for your money if you’re only inferencing?
Sure, but there's plenty of software that's written to use distributed unreliable storage similar to how cloud providers write their own software (e.g. Kafka). I can understand if many applications are just need something like EBS that's durable but looks like a normal disk, but not so sure it's a fundamentally required abstraction.
Shouldn't this be any basic coffee machine? It's a switch, a waterheater, and a hot plate.
Isn't Elixir meant as a solution to exactly that problem?
I'd suggest reading the article which quotes experts in the field explaining that the fossil record does not fit this model.
The comment you replied to was aware of this.

Most of the time, the laws and bureaucracy in the UK refers to 'The Crown' instead of to the king or queen personally. And ahmedfromtunis expressed surprise that this is not universal (but only 'most of the time').
probably 1000s hah. It's the speed of change. third party libraries dont change much, or fast - and you dont really want them to. The software you build internally at a product company with 500+ engineers changes much much faster. And you want it to.
Generally speaking you can't just admit to jury nullification without potentially undoing the nullifcation.
All you can really do is say "not guilty". If you want to find jury nullification you have to find cases where the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of conviction but the jury didn't convict anyway.

And that can be hard to say, since outside of the court you often don't know exactly what the jury saw and the variation in juries can be pretty astounding.
Out of interest - Why are you looking to move from Kendra? I havent heard much good about it but keen to understand what your issues with it are.
Why iOS cloud backup? Why not a universal backup way, OS / cloud vendor independent?
Incentives explain seemingly paradoxical behavior.

With IP, corporations originated their ideas, so executives want to prevent others from copying.

With generative AI, corporations are copying individual's ideas, so executives want to allow this copying.
Absolutely, it always mystifies me that the cost-effectiveness of renewables and EVs doesn't appeal even to some sense of self-interest in people who dismiss climate change.

I often bring up the fact that, with the mechanical efficiency of combustion engines being ~25% (the rest being waste heat), for every 4 gallons of gas you buy, you're basically throwing away 3. Even from just an aesthetic point of view you'd think that'd bother people but it doesn't seem to.

Entrenched views from decades of marketing by the fossil industry, I guess.
This could make it a lot easier to justify buying more disks for the NAS.

Since BIP-32, receive and change addresses have been generated from a single seed, never from outside sources. Hardware wallets verify this.

It's much more likely you'll fall victim to malware that waits until you're on an exchange website, and substitutes the attacker's receive address for the exchange's. You think you're depositing funds in your account, but they vanish instead. This is basically the same attack as fake escrow instructions emailed to people buying a home.

Very good appliances that last a long time currently exist. They are just not at the price point that many/most folks prefer to pay.
Thanks. This comment just bumped up its importance and is now on my “must-read-soon.”
There is a whole lot of “I visited the WORST place on Earth” style clickbait content on YouTube now.
> The term "Chesterton's fence" implies there's a good chance that something will break in an unwanted way if you remove the brokers fees. I'm curious what would break for the other parties in the transaction.

No, it's about making changes without knowing enough about what you're changing, and why it is the way it is. If we actually understand the reason for high broker's fees, there is no Chesterton's Fence. It seems like we do know the reason they're so high, and could move to address them with some confidence.
I’ve done something similar lately, partly I started because I don't always have internet. But I also started to see the benefits of using manuals and conjure up things on my own.

It definitely feels harder to do, and doing small tweaks here and there is frustrating as you have to really understand everything. I however find it quite rewarding because I feel I become much more capable as a programmer, and I rely less on third party dependencies for everything. I come up with more original solutions and become more able to combine tools to solve different problems.
Also, I don’t care how you accomplish this work, but you must atomize your anticipated work into individual bite-sized and estimated tasks. Your estimates need not be accurate, but you will be held accountable if you run over your estimates and be met with suspicion if your estimates are arbitrarily deemed too high.

You will be left to execute these tasks as you see fit, but you must report progress on them daily in a one-hour meeting along with every other architect working on entirely unrelated work. You may be asked to repeat this same oral update in other meetings. These meetings may be time consuming, but you will still be expected to meet your time estimates.

During this project to design my house, there may be periods of time when I may require you to assist with architectural emergencies, such as stabilizing the Leaning Tower of Pisa. These emergencies supersede your work and may come at any hour of the day or night, but should not impact your time estimates.
listened to the audiobook, highly recommend.
For most services to sign up, you also need an email address. This is also to help you recover your account in case you lost your password. A phone number can be used for this purpose too. Now you can share your Signal account with someone without sharing your phone number. Like you can share your Facebook username without sharing your email address.
I think the word beauty is fine. But the problem is that it means different things for different people. For example, something could be ugly and beautiful at the same time (like every single new born baby I have ever seen :P ). So whenever I see a word like that, I usually default to trying to figure out what THEY mean by beauty. And try not to bring any baggage with me.

Thank you!

This is exactly why we need to BAN weaving machines. The will to live is sustained by the work of the skilled artisans who create clothing by hand with looms.

"But I don't want to pay 500 dollars for a t-shirt", you say. What astounding arrogance! Stop destroying culture and accept that we need to protect this valuable craft from technology that threatens to steamroll it.
The annoying thing is that you see arcticles in paper and clips on tv that you have to upgrade all your old equipment from the 60s so you can "save energy".

Who wants some iFridge/iOven when the equipment made in the 60s was built to survive two zombies apocalypse and one nuclear war and won't connect to the internet for a firmware update.

Also the CIA can't hack your fridge so you get salmonella from your chicken because they have access to your shopping patterns from the super market.
The companies that compromise on quality while having a slightly lower price, still have more money left over for marketing.

Social coordination problems are solved by coordinated action - 99% of time that is law.

I'm probably just as skeptical of those pesky private-sector foreigners as you are. But I don't expectations of domestic government-controlled entities being any better.

The UK government can pass laws and use contracts to legally safeguard the data, if they want to.
Knowing how these models are trained and how these chat systems are built, I wouldn’t expect the question

“Can you search the internet?”

To actually cause an internet search.

Generally you know information about yourself, and that quirk of humans is likely reflected in the QA training data and thus the model’s outputs.
They were always going to try to in-house chip making - it's a huge point of geopolitical risk for them. Sanctions were not self-defeating, if anything, they were effective in their goals and slowed China down.
I envy that position.

Feels like because I didn’t work in go or python at my most recent job, I’m having trouble landing anything. (I have 5 years of golang prior to my most recent job)

My experience working in devops doesn’t seem to matter for SE positions either.
It's not going to change much. Most ICs don't need or benefit from 2nm features. It's only value in the West is in boosting yield of high profit margin VLSI devices where it makes sense to air freight them to SZ for assembly. Those represent a tiny slice of the semiconductor market. Cheap jellybean semiconductors will stay in SEA close to their final assembly point since their dice are already tiny and you can't squeeze more parts out of a wafer without compromising on specs.
If that’s the game we’re going to play then technically my driveway is on the same road as the White House.

There's really very little crypto-specific here, convincing someone to transfer funds to a scammer-controlled account is one of the oldest financial tricks in the book. It's still very common with bank wires.
They didn't post the result?
Indeed, a tale as old as time. If only this inept thinking could extend beyond short term financial gain. When (not if) the average Luddite begins to reject and disconnect from AI wholly whether productively or emotionally, who exactly is purchasing or consuming this soulless and useless content? It's as computer-centipede as it gets. The only use is to work against the benefit of society, truth and progress. It's a walled garden that can tell local citizens the truth and adversary's a series of lies. It's shown zero progress in years beyond a navigable encyclopedia of instructions only made more convoluted and confusing. The answers to AGI are not to chase complexity of what you've created. No one is blind.
I have a Sonicare that rattled the head off within a half year of buying it. I took it apart and it was due to a screw with no thread lock being the only thing holding everything together. On a vibrating part.

Put some thread lock on it and it’s been totally fine since, but that seems like it’s intentionally planned to fail. Good job, Philips.
VPN providers, especially non-logging ones, keep their abuse handling practices secret. They all claim to have "ways" to catch abuse on their network - I suspect it just comes down to a combination of flagging accounts/logging events following certain types of behavior along with data collected from abuse complaints.

Seems possible enough to keep logs of possible abuse for an account without keeping IP logs around. I'd also guess they have a lower standard for evidence needed to suspend/close an account for abuse than an ISP would. It's just not worth the trouble to keep a suspicious account open when it risks getting their IPs blacklisted.
My life goal is to buy a True Residential fridge [1]. But I will probably never be able to afford one as it costs more than a car.

1,2 and in part 3 were already fixed with the Signal FOSS fork back then, but Moxie and his army of lawyers decided to send out multiple cease and desist letters against those projects. Which, in return, makes Signal not open source, no matter what the claims are. If they don't hold up their end of the license and argue with their proprietary (and closed to use) infrastructure then I'd argue they are no better than Telegram or WhatsApp. Signal's backup problem is another story which might blow up my comment too much.

Because of your mentioned points I would never recommend Signal, and rather point to Briar as a messenger and group/broadcast platform. Currently, it's still a little painful to use and e.g. QR Codes would already help so much with easing up the connection and discovery/handshake process.

But it has huge potential as both a messenger and a federated and decentralized platform.
Wow why did this take so long, this should have been step 0

My 1997 taco (Tacoma) had over 300k miles on it when I sold it. And it was still going strong. Literally zero mechanical issues, ever.
For the first one, sometimes it just gets confused about what capabilities it has. Try starting a new session and asking again.
So facinating.
Thank you for the advice! You are right. I'll do that in my next article about Tailwind.
There should be awards for this type of content. Andrew Ng series and Karpathy series as first inductees to the hall of fame.
Preventing or slowing the development of AI is just a startling contempt for human life. Every day millions of people die unnecessarily. Willingness to let that happen because you think your family (or, most likely, a giant corporation) deserves to be paid for a century after you die is sheer selfishness and ignorance.
This is way too expensive!
Only if the attacker only transferred funds to one wallet.

I could also see a sophisticated attacker holding off on draining wallets until the amount contained started to drop or increased past a threshold. Draining funds as soon as a user attempts to setup the app gets you a few suckers but also means you'll be reported quickly. Giving everyone a failure message while recording the recovery key might let you go significantly longer before discovery.
The financial few have created a battle against the very world that have put them there. It might not be clear where the exit is, but it's clear the incentives are fundamentally opposite. Something, something Emperor's new clothes
This sounds great! Then if course the shops exert pressure on suppliers for quality hypothetically, but I wonder this just manifests as optimizing to fail after 5 years mostly reliably.
Imagine the music progression from blues->black metal if every band had copyright to their style. This critique assumes the AI is ingesting material and not reproducing it 1:1
It's just racism.
I was in the HVAC industry throughout the 2000's. Metal thieves generated quite a bit of business for us. Thieves irreparably saw up condenser units to take the heat exchangers (copper tubing + aluminum fins). I can only imagine how much R22 (GWP of 1810) was released into the atmosphere.

They'd also target our trucks to get any stored wire, tubing, fittings, or power tools they could get their hands on.
I'm enjoying Swift, particularly the async/await APIs. I think it would be difficult to write asynchronous code in Objective-C (well, there would be a lot of completion handlers). My present case is the control plane for an embedded application and I don't really have too many complaints. I like the package management system. It would be nice if the compiler was faster.

I maintain some other code that is a mix of Swift, Objective-C and C. I'd happily rewrite the Objective-C components in Swift (except there's no reason to, as it works).
Why remember, between the Elixir language tooling and code copilot, that sort of thing writes itself. Or you can even add a helper “one” function to handle that for you.
I suppose I have some insight into this as I've worked for the public sector in the UK for several years.

The Gov.uk estate is absolutely enormous. There's obviously all the public facing stuff, but many many more internal tools and services too which need updating too. But the change is even bigger than just this, because there's also documents and resources which teams will need to update in the coming weeks also. Additionally guidance needs to be issued across all government departments and although I've not been following this personally I have seen lengthy comms issued about the crown change. There's a huge amount of bureaucracy in the public sector so changes like this are extensively documented and planned by various individuals on 6 figure salaries before teams will even pick up the work.

If I were to guess we're probably talking about a thousand people spending several hours on this at least. That said, for it to be wasteful it would need to be less productive than what people would otherwise be working on. Compared to building stuff that's never used or scraped shortly after building it, this is probably more productive than most things people work on in the public sector.
Kind of funny but we use similar idea in Azure.
I used to work for an ISP. We were indoctrinated not to even think about what was going over our lines.

The big concern was we’d be sued, and the emails of the opposing law firm would be going over our pipes.

But that was just an example given to us as to why we should back away.

Realistically, the firm was spending its time and energy laying more cables to offer services in a wider area.
This is untrue of Local SSD (https://cloud.google.com/local-ssd) in Google Cloud. Local SSDs are PCIe peripherals, not network attached.

There is literally George Washington in the second example you show, so I am confused how this proves the original poster's claim.

The issue with the first one might be heavy-handed protections to prevent celebrities from being shown.
