How much do you use YouTube? Because as a fairly substantial user, this doesn't match my experience at all. When I wasn't watching Shorts they were present but not in-your-face. Search pretty much always returns exactly what I'm looking for, there's no clickbait except for the low level of clickbait that the channels I like use... I pay not to have ads, but that's about it. Honestly, I really enjoy it. The app could be a little more iOS-ified, but that's a minor gripe.

I wonder if you're just a sufficiently light user that it's not learning your preferences, or, I wonder if much of the personalisation comes from client-side event logging which, by using a third party app, you're skipping, meaning that in many ways your profile is missing data.

I have a standard PC, measures about 10 by 20 by 20 inches. I have never seen an oven in a residential building that can accommodate the whole thing.
Can also add the photos you take and all the chats you have with people (eg. whatsapp, fb, etc), the sensor information from your phone (eg. location, health data, etc).

This is already possible to implement today, so it's very likely that we'll all have our own personal AIs that know us better than we do.
I like Python for coding interviews. It doesn't have trees though, which Java (by extension Kotlin/Scala) has.
Thank you for replying!

This shouldn't be surprising; the CLA requirement drives away contributors before their first contribution. Like me. I saw no point in a person who hasn't made any contributions petitioning you for a policy change. This phenomenon is one of the insidious effects of policies which ward off contributors before they make their first contribution.

A lot of us fell for CLAs when they were new and shiny. By now we've all seen way too many examples of people getting screwed by them. Fool me once, fool me twice... https://drewdevault.com/2023/07/04/Dont-sign-a-CLA-2.html

Using artificial pijul dependency arcs as CLA acknowledgements is certainly cute. But frankly, for legal matters, something that can't be misinterpreted like a `Developer-Certificate-of-Origin:` header is probably a better idea. By the way, have you noticed that `pijul git` import loses some of the git headers, like `Committer` and `CommitterDate`? Also, importing a large repo has exposed what appears to be some significantly superlogarithmic-time behaviors in `pijul record`.

> in the case of an evolution of the license

I think you should try to let go of the idea of "evolving the license" of an open source project that invites contributions.

If you want to go the sqlite route that is absolutely fine; honestly pijul is one of the few pieces of software that is (after accounting for younger age) on the same level of sophistication as sqlite. Just explain that your project, like sqlite, is open source but not soliciting contributions.

I think that with the CLA requirement you have effectively made this choice -- but in the way which maximizes the number of people annoyed: both the people who get triggered by any mention of the GNU project as well as the people who support its goals! This is quite a neat trick to pull off, although I fear it was unintentional.

Yeah I saw that PR, which was obnoxious for other reasons as well. Bravo to you and felix91gr for being so polite in your responses.
For the sake of argument - he may have another account 'Fausterion17' on which he is constantly loosing those tens of millions :)

I have no idea who he is, or if what he posts is true, but it's quite a well known strategy for 'financial influencers' - you can start with 50 accounts, predicting that the market will go up / down next month (or whatever period). Then on the accounts that predicted it right, you do the same thing etc etc. After some periods, you have an account that was 90% right ! Must be a financial genius.
I think their point is that discovery for authentic content is really awful which is true. The homepage never shows me subscriptions, there's a gigantic amount of shorts. The subscription page itself has no way to group or find anything and it also shoves shorts in your face.

The Youtube UI is actually so bad and Tiktok-ified that I just use Feedly to follow individual channels and avoid the website. Even creators talk about this quite often. "ProZD" most recently encouraged people to support him on Patreon because his long form content essentially is algorithm-punished. Apparently only 10% of his views ever come from the subscription page.

I think it's quite telling that the people who make the kind of content that I think the OP is after so heavily encourage people to support them outside of the actual platform.

They have now added a strong bias for generating black people now. Some have prompted to generate a picture of a German WW2 soldier, and now there are many pictures of black people floating around in NAZI uniforms.

I think their strategy to "enhance" outcomes is very misdirected.

The most widely used base models to really fine tune models are those that are not censored and I think you have to construct a problem to find one here. Of course AI won't generate a perfect world, but this is something that will probably only get better with time when users are able to adapt models to their liking.

I have two main questions here.
Firstly, why would Shopify or Woocommerce not build this themselves? And secondly, how do you intend to drive traffic to the web? I can see how you will solve the search function at scale, but I see a bigger hurdle in driving initial traffic to the site
So how crippled would you like them to be? Would you put any guard rails in place?
There's also the psychological aspect of continuing to play in those soft games even when the other players know they are losing.

A guy I dealt to for years was known at the table as Hillbilly. He had a manner that just disarmed some other players. He wasn't an amazing player, but he was a lot smarter than most people assumed, and you wanted him at the table because he was fun to chat with and you thought you could beat this disheveled, ol' country boy.

When you lost to Hillbilly, it was just bad luck. When you won, it's because he's a simpleton, of course. But somehow, he always had a pretty big stack of chips in front of him.

A lot of pro players have this edge, too; just the right personality to get other people to believe their superiority, ignore their discipline, and "go on tilt" (make suboptimal decisions)
Lol, and you're still going...
Ok, but how much Cake code can you write before having to disable the checker?
IIRC there was no INCLUDE in FORTRAN77 and the COMMON block would sometimes have different names for the same variable in different subroutines. Also the structure of the code we had to maintain (some of which was pre-FORTRAN77) was so horrific, that we would run it through a program called SPAG to clean it up. Happy days!
Reading between the lines a bit here, it would probably require more specialized testing infrastructure than normal.

I used to be an SRE at Google and I wrote up internal postmortems there. To me, this explanation feels a lot like they are trying to avoid naming any of their technical partners, but the most likely explanation for what happened is that Microsoft installed some new GPU racks without necessarily informing OpenAI or possibly only informing part of their ops team, and that this new hardware differed in some subtle way from the existing hardware. Quite possibly that means a driver bug, or some sort of hardware incompatibility that required a workaround. Certainly, they would not want to be seen publicly attacking Nvidia or Microsoft given the importance of these two partners, so keeping it high level would certainly be for the best. Virtually. None of openai's customers would be able to use any further technical detail anyway, and they may still be working out a testing strategy that would allow them to detect changes in the hardware mix that unexpectedly cause regressions without necessarily any software deployments being involved.
There are two use cases that work for me:

1. Complete tedious / repetitive code

2. Help with new/rarely used things. For instance, I'd ask it: write a function that fetches the price of the Apple stock from Bloomberg for the year 2023. And then I can use that a tweak it as I want.

> The Give First ethos applies here.

That's the theory. I gave quite a lot of time to them first. There's just not a lot coming back in kind. Techstars seems a bit complacent about people giving them their time. But they are not a charity. So they've been cutting on giving back. From having talked to other mentors, the quality of the network used to be better when they were more engaged. Even the networking events seem to be very infrequent at this point and frankly the last few ones weren't great. Somehow that never recovered after COVID.

I still mentor BTW. Just not via Techstars.

How much do modern video games cost?
Recently, Tekken 8 launched (It’s fantastic btw!) an online store, and I have no problem with it. But the developer mentioned the store helps keep the servers running.

Have video game development costs really increased so dramatically that DLC is what keeps these games afloat?

I thought the initial cost of the game was expensive (large team of programmer-esque salaries for 2-5 years), I have no idea licensing costs for game engines, and servers cost $6000 a month assuming they roll their own stuff (but maybe they don’t…)

So what’s costing video game development to be high cost, and why have there been no innovations/companies etc offering cheaper solutions?
They could have said 150 years, but then, where's the point

> If you consider Julia a Lisp

Maybe, but would you consider Julia a Lisp without parentheses, which was the context here? Because after looking at their documentation (https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/methods/ for example), it seems to have as many parens as any other lisp, just postfix notation rather than prefix notation, `f(Float32(2.0), 3.0)` vs `(f (Float32 2.0), 3.0)`.

Arguing about what makes or doesn't a lisp is a conversation I don't think will lead to any useful results, I feel like that's ongoing since the 60s or something. Out of my league :)

It's a double-edged sword though. A weaker yen can increase export sales, however import value will be much higher. Currently, most products in Japan are made from Japanese companies, which is why the Japanese people don't feel the impact yet.

At some point they simply stopped trying to compete with YC (probably because they can't). The terms are worse, the program is worse, and the only differentiation is not being in the Bay Area (which YC moved away from anyways).

The end result is ~nobody would choose Techstars over YC. In a power law business, that's a death sentence.

It seems like these are different than the ones in the website. These are not really "unexpected" in the way that "PageRank", which is an algorithm for ranking pages, turns out not to be names after the pages it ranks, but the Page that invented it.

The examples in your post are just the source of these names, which may be unknown to many, but are not unexpected.
So I guess there's a lack of passion-sense of commitment and perhaps an incentives issue.

My favourite "big but comprehensible generation number" is the count of unique shuffles of a standard deck of 52 cards.

(this is my best recollection of the "this is how insane it is" story, numbers may be slightly off)

Iterate through a billion possible shuffles a second and every yearly anniversary, take a 1M pace around the equator. When you get back to your starting point (after 40,075 years), take 1cc out of the Pacific Ocean.

When the ocean is empty, put one A4 piece of 0.05mm paper on a pile. Now you start filling the ocean 1cc every circumnavigation. When it's full, A4 piece of paper on the pile. etc.

By the time you exhaust the list of shuffles, the pile will be 188 light years tall.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
So, I'm going to enroll in a university and they specify that I need to use Windows in class because there are some softwares that only works on Windows. My initial plan was to use nix-darwin on MacOS, but since I can't do that anymore, I'm looking for some alternatives on Windows. Would you tell me some tips and tricks on how to manage Windows clean?
I would like my Windows setup to meet these conditions, if possible:

1. No use of dotfiles

I don't like dotfiles because they're difficult to debug and are tend to be bloated, inefficient and complicated. When using home-manager with nix, those are managed by a file named home.nix so it's very clean. It's also error-free as long as options are set appropriately.
Maybe my dotfiles management is just terrible, if you know any good way to do this on Windows, please tell me.

2. Everything is configurable from a single file

On NixOS and MacOS with nix-darwin, you can configure basically everything, from package management to system configuration, in a file: configuration.nix

I would like to do the same on Windows. One thing I considered is to make a powershell script that configures everything on execution.

ChatGPT says that I can use something called [Desired State Configuration](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/dsc/getting-started/wingettingstarted?view=dsc-1.1), but as far as I can see the documentation, it's not something I'm looking for. (correct me if I'm wrong)

3. Containered environment for development

On Nix, you can declare everything necessary to build a package so you don't need to install packages on your system by yourself. I don't want to put myself into a dependency hell anymore. But I have an idea for this: using docker. Docker separates developing environment from host's system so there would be no pre-installed dependencies. It would be good and I'm considering learning docker. Next thing I'm considering is to use something like [nx](https://nx.dev/). If you have better ideas, please tell me.

This is pretty much everything I need for my next Windows environment. Every small tips or tricks are welcome.
Generally I'm of the belief that there are 2 types of users, with different acquisition strategies:

1. Users who want to find a very specific product, with the intent to purchase. This assumes that the search functionality and quality filters are working very well. User comes to Agora, finds exactly what they are looking for, and continues with their day. We save them time and provide them with a lot of immediate value. I think we'll acquire these with word-of-mouth, if the search is actually exceptional and we have the most comprehensive data set. I'll also note that limiting the search results for this user is likely better than an endless scroll (to your point about being paralyzed with choice). We're playing around with the "view more" button at the bottom of search results: showing a user 20 results and then letting them click on view more to see an endless scroll.

2. Users who spend a lot of time online shopping, with the intent to browse. For these users, the plan is to introduce features that give us a viral loop. For example, users can currently create an account to create 'lists' of products they like. We have users making 'birthday gifts list', 'party decor', 'Christmas wish list", 'bachelorette party inspiration', etc. Think of it like a Spotify playlist. The goal is to come up with more features like this that drive a viral loop back to Agora.

Hope that helps answer the question and how I'm thinking about it. Separately, we need to upgrade the design soon. Been so focused on functionality that need to shift to improving the look / feel. Open to any ideas :)
We most certainly do not generate words to express our thoughts one word at the time using statistical model of what word should go next.
Perhaps not: I think your link is talking about "short movies" or "short films". YouTube's Shorts are "short videos". Movies (films) and videos are not the same thing: movies/films are a type of video, but there are many other types of video that are not movies, most notably TV shows, and also "music videos", but really anything that involves a moving picture. A "movie" (or to some, "film") these days is commonly meant to refer to a specific form of art, meaning a visualized stand-alone story that usually takes 1-4 hours to watch, and frequently gets played in a cinema.

Similarly, a "book" is a collection of bound paper pages, but a "novel" is a specific type of book that contains a story, and is usually a certain length (if it's too short, it's called a "short story").

So I think it's ok for YouTube to call their 60-second videos "shorts", as long as they don't call them "short films" or "short movies".

YouTube search is so frustrating to use. You search for a specific title, but instead you're usually shown vaguely related popular videos first, and then the actual video you want below those.

But what bothers me the most is that YouTube's data can't be fully indexed by search engines. Recently, I was trying to find the video of a comment I had a picture of, but it was impossible to find because comments aren't indexed at all. While Reddit's search also sucks for example, at least search engines can index Reddit's data and make it possible to search it.
