Yup, I'm not sure how anyone uses the standard YouTube app. Even with adverts removed you get bombarded by shorts and nonsense clickbait/disinformation.

I use it currently with a patched Revanced apk which is not logged in (in case Google suddenly take to banning accounts) and some UX tweaks like blocking shorts.

For the couple of channels I actually would like to support in some way I stomach using the official app and give them some ad impressions.

I find gitx really helpful at understanding what's going on in git. Especially its ability to drag branches around the tree shows you that branches are just labels, they aren't the actual code. It doesn't do everything, but what it does do certainly isn't dumbed down.

You definitely need a gui to do partial commits. git add -P is just horrible to use.
Is AMD a bad choice for fine-tuning large-scale models locally?
When I was doing research for my company, I had a GPU allocated to me at Google's colab, and I did a lot of experiments using the TPU. However, recently, I have some personal fine-tuning that I want to do, so I'm trying to train locally on my personal computer. The problem is that my GPU is a Radeon. I've tried using ROCm, but I don't like it as much as I thought I would. (I could be doing something wrong.) My fellow researchers and colleagues jokingly tell me to sell my Radeon and buy an RTX when I have the time. Recently, something like ZULDA has come out, but... I wonder if AMD will ever release something directly optimized for AI? I'm looking at the HIPs and official documentation, but it doesn't really set me up for success.
Ask HN: Online communities like the initial YC StartupSchool experience?
I was part of YC's initial StartupSchool batch in 2019 (?), and back then we had groups of maybe 5-10 startups which were mentored by a YC alumn. Every week we would have a video conference where people would share their progress and we'd discuss problems together. I know YC still runs StartupSchool but it seems they only do founder matching and online courses, the initial experience was much more useful though (I can understand that it was probably too much effort for them to maintain).

I found this really great and I'm looking for something like that again. Does anyone know if communities like that exist somewhere?

Well nobody is a bit a overstatement when thousands if not millions of people actually do run their own or partial email stack. If you don't own your email it's just as bad as a phone number, but not worse.

In general emails don't just get removed and given out again if you don't interact with them for a few months. Phone numbers do usually after 6-12 months or even after 3 months for some providers.

You can prepay a domain for up to 10 years or more and always setup a email server when you need it so you essentially have full control, long term.

It's unclear if you missed the filename being wrongfile.conf. Embedding a -- in the middle of a long series of arguments isn't the magic pixie dust that suddenly makes the filename argument stand out the way that it does when it's the very first argument in the pipe.

Yes, I saw your other points, and I chose this example because it is an example drawn from real-world use where there is zero objective reason to wag a finger about "useless use of cat". Those other points are not relevant in this example, and piping a cat into some other commands into a while loop is pretty typical shellcode. Forcing me to move a filename argument into the middle of a long line for stylistic reasons should be obviously wrong. It is one case where shellcheck is over-reaching and being a nuisance rather than helping me catch errors.

> iPhones haven been completely waterproof for generations now.

Maybe so but when I went into Apple store to get a free battery replacement under warranty because they had a recall, the Apple employees specifically check for water exposure[1] and if it's ever been wet, they consider it "damaged" and won't do the free battery swap.

It's nice that one can accidentally fall into a swimming pool with the phone in the pocket and it won't get broken. However, one can't be totally nonchalant about letting it get submerged because it will void its warranty status.

Looks like the Nikkei 225 average dividend yield is around 1.4%. If you bought in 1989 and reinvested dividends it looks like you would have briefly broken even in 2015 (ignoring inflation), then hit solid black sometime in 2017.

As I tend to live with set -o vi, [esc] _ gets the same. I hardly ever remember to set:

bind '"\e."':yank-last-arg

So [esc] _ does it on systems where I haven't customised my environment. A major drawback though is it doesn't go through history like alt . does.

However, when 'set -o vi' is enabled you can easily go through history and edit with familiar vi keystrokes, or press 'fc' and fix the previous command in EDITOR, or 'v' to edit the current command in EDITOR.

Deep integration with existing tools and workflows is where most of the value lies, I think, and that takes time. Also it seems the models aren't just there yet, context windows are a bit too small for them to be useful for very complex scenarios. With 1-10 M contexts that might change as models can e.g. hold an entire knowledge base or code base in their memory and reason about it.

Personally I see tons of potential for AI to automate some of my daily workflows e.g. working with task managers, project documentation, writing code, understanding architecture, writing docs etc. etc. etc... It's just that there's not yet enough integration for these things to happen, but let's wait 1-2 years, almost all companies are working on integration now.

The Give First ethos applies here. If you approach TS with this mentality, you'll get more out of it.

I agree that, perhaps, there should be more, consistent events to bring the network together. For instance, in Seattle, we had regular mixers that were just at Startup Hall--swing by, grab a beer from the keg, and have a chat. Events pulling the network together don't have to be a heavy life.

But I think you also get out of it what you put into it: Again, give first, and follow up with folks and you'll get more out of it.

> It does however seem to stop when the brain is destroyed, which makes it unlikely to be present in fundamental particles, or in parts of a disintegrated brain

Does consciousness really "seem to stop" when the brain is destroyed? We can't directly observe anyone's consciousness other than our own. It is true that, when people die, we cease to have access to the outward signs we use to infer they are conscious – but we don't know whether that's because their consciousness has ceased, or whether that is because it has "gone somewhere else" to which we don't currently have access. We never have direct access to the inner reality of consciousness for anyone other than ourselves, and we can only know the temporary cessation of our own consciousness, its permanent cessation (if that is possible) is in principle unknowable to us.

Speaking of our consciousness "going somewhere else" at death (an afterlife) doesn't have to be a religious claim – there are heaps of "naturalistic" ways in which consciousness might survive death (e.g. Boltzmann brains, computer simulations, quantum immortality). Since we don't know whether any of those ways actually happen, we don't know whether or not consciousness actually stops at death.
For a bit of historical context, during this period the Java ecosystem was very heavily into the Service Locator (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_locator_pattern) pattern. This meant that your classes would look up their dependencies from the registry at runtime as they needed them, quite often resulting in a runtime error at an indeterminate point if a programmatic error had been made.

This also created a bit of a spaghetti nightmare, where it was very hard to reason about which classes (services) were being used by what other services. The Inversion of Control article (later renamed/aliased Dependency Injection) was a reaction to this: it inverted the control away from the using site to the code creating the services.

(I appreciate the article does talk about Service Locator, but I think it's worthwhile having an understanding of the normalities of the time when reading it.)

I think that they're sufficiently inept, they didn't actually know what it was they were selling. What they apparently had, from the Myanmar rebel group, was access to a Myanmar uranium mine (natural uranium); there was a concrete offer of 50 tonnes of ore. What they discussed offering to Iran, repeatedly, was "enriched uranium". It's non-credible that the Myanmar rebels have a secret enrichment program. In at least one text, it's clear they didn't even understand the difference: page 4, "How enriched is it? Above 5 percent?"... "I think so and I hope so".

I think this is a somewhat "over engineered" approach. I have a range of interests and don't feel any need to have multiple profiles. YouTube is quite good at understanding what I want.

One way this manifests for example is that I use YouTube at work to listen to concerts in the background while I work, but at home I will almost never listen to music or concerts on YouTube as I'm mostly using it like a TV. Despite the same YouTube profile, my work machine gets mostly concerts in the home feed, and my home machine gets mostly other stuff. There's just enough crossover that I can get into either style of watching on either machine though, and in the rare cases where I have done, YouTube seems to react quickly.
I was just referring to the direct monetization which looks to me relatively marginal unless you reach viewers in the 7 or 8 digit numbers at which point most youtubers already have started having other source of revenues anyway which are probably higher than what youtube provides: consulting, physical shows/appearances, sponsorship, merch, own brands, etc.

I understand that network effect is probably more important than anything else but to me content platforms are more a way to get and stay known than a direct source of revenue. Hence the success of instagram and tiktok with the newer gen whose shorter forms of content and lower searchability involve smaller investment and production cost and more immediate followship[1].

[1] people more immediately subscribe for fear to not have to wait to get access to feed again while on youtube it is still relatively easy to find back videos or consult channels without subscribing.
> ADHD is the set of symptoms.

The formal diagnosis of ADHD, which is what I was referring to, is based on the presence of a certain set of symptoms defined by the DSM-V or ICD-11.

ADHD itself, which the diagnosis aims to identify, is not the set of symptoms itself but rather the root cause of the symptoms. The symptoms point to the presence of some root cause which is ADHD.

I'm not on medication and maybe have ADHD (undiagnosed). I don't see why I can't be called disordered, because I am. But I completely disagree about some mythical "social stigma". Hell, if I don't know if have it, then other people can't tell it even more. Sure, they may suspect something, but without having proofs or data nobody does it. I literally can't be discriminated on the basis of having ADHD or not having it because it is impossible.

What does impact my professional opportunities is this ADHD illness itself. It makes me really bad at things I'm perfectly capable of doing with good quality and in time, but instead I screw up deadlines and my work suffers a lot.

I'm not sure if meds help or not (but evidence for other people shows that it do), but I know for sure that people without ADHD lead better lives. Better, without any scary quotes. And I also do want to become better and try to medicate this shitty condition.

Once monitors got wider I moved everything left and vertical.

It's also kind of a hierarchy that flows from left to right:

OS -> App -> content

Some content follows the same pattern (or can be configured close enough)

Eg: discord servers -> channels -> discussion

Eg: IntelliJ -> project files -> vertical tab for open editors -> editor

Most content nowadays is mobile-first anyway, which is a nice way of saying it wastes most of the space on desktop (most webpages fit a title and subtitle OR 3 bullet points on a 24" screen)
