I think it's expected. Even if YouTube have some large scale advantages, it cannot be cheap to run their infrastructure.

As a YouTube Premium subscriber, where I think the argument breaks down is how absolutely garbage their recommendation algorithm has become. While I don't agree with the tactic, I can see why YouTube would push content that keeps the users engaged/pacified and don't see why exactly they would use the same shitty algorithm on people who pay to not see ads. A great up-sell could be better control of the recommendations, perhaps set a "target profile" for yourself.

For the free-tier I still think YouTube dialed the monetization knob up way to fare. There are currently way to many ads and the quality of those ads is rather low and their relevance is questionable. I don't blame YouTube for attempting to crack down on ad-blockers, but they need also need make ads more tolerable. The current allowed ads, their runtime and placement basically makes the actual videos impossible to watch.

YouTubes current quest for ever growing revenue has resulted in an insane manipulation of its users, pushing ever more brain numbing content and its going to cost them users if they also crack down on ad blocking to hard, while not increasing the incentive to pay for Premium. It's a vicious spiral of pushing ads so hard that more and more people tries to avoid them.
Hilarious how that movie mocks youth but society being like this today is not really due to the youth

It’s almost like it was some adults having a laugh at others expense not realizing even making such a movie is bread and circuses

Our vanity won’t let us believe we’re just like prior generations of people with fancier technology. Just the same old idiocy, mockery, cynicism, poor effort across contexts (most of which are made up social hallucinations); poor stewards of social and environmental reality
Rates are set by the government.

They’re high, but not Meta high.

Employers in this industry could pay more out of overhead but then their numbers wouldn’t look as good as their competitors, the stock would underperform, and access to favorable credit terms would be restricted and in an industry with such astronomically (heh) high capital costs that’s very bad.

No civilization is entitled to technological innovation and economic growth just because it demands it. You have to engineer that goal into reality.

And if you want risk-taking startups and entrenched corporations to work together, you are going to have to devise a communist style government or something. The free markets would just forgo national gross domestic product maximization and line up their own little pockets, free from the top-down authoritarianism required to organize large scale techno-economic activity.

The usual recommendation regarding ice is that it's only supposed to be used for a short while, immediately after the injury. Like minutes to hours. If used on the second day at all, the protocol is to alternate it heat. Pills may end up used for days. Some of them have long half-lives; e.g. 17 hours for naproxen.
My advice would be to make things even though it’s been done before. You might have a different perspective, or you can use it as an exercise to hone your skills. Many projects are just throwaways, like an illustrator might doodle.

The goal would be to get better with your tools and keep the creativity flowing, even if it’s not going to turn into your next unicorn startup.

I have anecdata #3 and #4. Both of these people are in their early 30s.

#3 - A friend who recently (within the last year) drained his savings to $0 paying for a trip to Europe. All of the money came from day trading stocks on Robinhood.

#4 - A friend who bought a house just over a year ago. The house cost a few hundred thousand, and he decided to put a >50% down payment on it, which he did by liquidating some (not anywhere close to all) of the money he has in index funds.

Those are probably the two most extreme examples, and I could provide more examples that are anywhere in between. I'm going to wait for a study that does some statistical analysis over the population before I draw any conclusions.
It would have been much harder to fabricate, but tungsten would be the ideal cover for this as it's almost the exact same density as gold. It's often used in fake gold bars even, where tungsten rods or slugs are cast into a bar in a way that's undetectable without either breaking it open or using a ultrasound technique.

I think tungsten carbide is less dense though, so making fake drill bits wouldn't work.

People are fallible, simple as that. People fall for all kinds of cons all the time. Sometimes they want to believe, sometimes they have their own incentives, sometimes they specifically seek destructive scenarios. I'm sure there are other reasons as well.
> The hot water system is also fitted with "Waste Water Heat Recovery System"

I really want one of these - the >40C water going down my drain being replaced with <20C water into my hot water tank keeps me up at night (figuratively). Such an easy win to exchange some of he heat out. It is on my shopping list for the next house / next renovation.

Journalists have value to society and get “free passes”.

Isn’t that how it works? Not saying it should but that it does.

A whole lot of the economy is given a “free pass” because it keeps people from investigating government agents behavior and demanding change

Ireland is in a very bad spot right now. They are in a deep recession, over a year of gdp contraction. Later this month we find out last quarter's gdp reduction and if it's -0.6% or worse, Ireland moves from recession to depression. Which I will be shocked to see if they achieve anything better.

Overall Ireland is in a bad spot and young folks with low work experience are the ones who will hurt the most.
Bazel has been the most difficult build system to use IMO, glad they decided not to move forward with it
It feels like that is the least that is required at the moment. There should be more effort getting our current boiler stock up to a lot closer to it's theoretical COP of 1. At least until they can be replaced with something more efficient. Some focus on tuning boiler settings for performance, maybe some aftermarket controllers to do some of this and display the results.

That recoup thing looks really good it always seems a shame to let all that heated water go to waste.
> low latency results each frame

What does that do to your utilization?

I've been out of this space for a while, but in game dev any backwards information flow (GPU->CPU) completely murdered performance. "Whatever you do, don't stall the pipeline." Instant 50%-90% performance hit. Even if you had to awkwardly duplicate calculations on the CPU, it was almost always worth it, and not by a small amount. The caveat to "almost" was that if you were willing to wait 2-4 frames to get data back, you could do that without stalling the pipeline.

I didn't think this was a memory architecture thing, I thought it was a data dependency thing. If you have to finish all calculations before readback and if you have to readback before starting new calculations, the time for all cores to empty out and fill back up is guaranteed to be dead time, regardless of whether the job was rendering polygons or finite element calculations or neural nets.

Does shared memory actually change this somehow? Or does it just make it more convenient to shoot yourself in the foot?

EDIT: or is the difference that HPC operates in a regime where long "frame time" dwarfs the pipeline empty/refill "dead time"?
$6 vps probably has no storage. E.g 5tb hetzner box is more like $14 a month. Pis are absurd though for homelabbing today, prices have not fallen relative to other cheap compute. For the price of a $90 pi you can get a used mini pc with an i5 8500 with memory and storage on ebay today. Double that and you can get a new asus minipc with an 8 core 9700t. All with a case and psu. The asus minis are even designed to stack nicely as a cluster arrangement.
> as an anarchist I believe it should be up to communities to decide what's right for them

Isn't this more or less what's already happening today? Some communities have scaled back their police force dramatically, others have maintained theirs or even scaled them up.

Is the difference just that you'd prefer to see us start from a clean slate and choose from the buffet table, rather than have to migrate from legacy systems?
Is this instance liberal (accepting of change) or conservative (hesitant of change)?

On one hand it seems liberal, wanting to see a change that gives individuals who might be subject of deepfakes more autonomy.

On the other hand, AI is changing the world and it seems like an effort to try and hold the things around AI in place as to not seem them change.

It could go either way. So could the state of the economy right now, for that matter.
The general rule is HFT will have the elite level mathematicians to figure out what is the most optimal strategy is, and the most exotic hardware to implement it to the extreme. Other party will fall further behind given the more complex and unconventional exchange rule.

The C++ bits in QPX were, as far as I know, relatively tiny elements for setting up memory mapped file, done this way because there wasn't good native interface in CMUCL.

In response to your pre-edit comment: the "good times" are kind of gone already for younger people, thanks to pulling up the ladder. That's why there's so much hate towards older generations, the only generations who apparently intentionally made things worse for those who followed instead of better.
I agree. Clickhouse is awesomely powerful and fast. I maintain a list of benchmarks, if you know of any speed comparisons please let me know and I will add them to the lsit:

Why not? It's a task that is not deterministically automatable, but has similar enough problems (changing method signatures, etc) that make it suitable for AI to learn from past examples and then apply to your codebase. And these are typically also accompanied by changelogs that can get injected into the prompt, etc.

I'm not some sort of AI fanboy. This just seems like a pretty decent use case.
RAG can't create associations to data that isn't superficially (found by the indexing strategy) assosciated to the query. For example, you might query about one presidential candidate and lose out on the context of all other presidential candidates (probably a bad example, but gets the point across).

It is "search and summarize." It is not "glean new conclusions." That being said, "search and summarize" is probably good for 80%.

LoRA is an improvement, but I have seen benchmarks showing that it struggles to make as deep inferences as regular training does.

There isn't a one-size fits all... Yet.

Sorry, no, lemonade is not a service. It is true that you are adding value by turning lemons into lemonade, but that's not what you're selling. You're selling the lemonade. LAAS would be turning someone else's lemons into lemonade for them, but a typical lemonade manufacturer owns their raw materials.

> Requesting free journalism is like requesting free food. Both are essential, but few would expect food being distributed for free.

But unlike food, many people are willing to report on news freely without expectation of payment. For example, I get better local news coverage in my local city subreddit than I do in any professional publication.

Of course this type of citizen “journalism” is less rigorous, but nonetheless it is good enough which is why I believe charging for news has been a tough sell in the age of social media.

> There should be a way to pay for a single article. Some micropayment service(s) so you don't need an account with every web site you might want to read.

I think the idea of Reddit gold comes close to a feasible micropayment system. At the moment it only profits Reddit, but there might be room for some profit sharing.
> Then why are virtually all browser engines, high-performance games, and video codecs written in C++?

Path dependence. There are only two lineages of widely used browsers today: Chromium/Webkit (coming from Konqueror, initial release 2000) and Firefox/Gecko (coming from Netscape, initial release 1994). Nobody's rewriting them.

The same goes for video game engines and other high-performance software.
If you are doing this sort of evaluation do not forget to consider the taxes, which can shift things remarkably based on your jurisdiction.

If one sold the property and invested the rest you will be paying some sort of taxes on the investment returns (at varying rates depending on the investment), while with the property it may be possible that the taxation could be low to nil. By writing depreciation of the property against your rental income it is possible you could pay no tax at all.

Also do not forget to consider various costs associated with the sale of the property.
I have been picking through that book. So far I have to say that the first quarter of the book probably could have been cut, for me the academic exercise of categorizing different hypothetical distributed systems into a complex hierarchy is not really useful. The latter parts of the book are much more interesting and actually give practical examples and guidance.
My initial impression of this was poor, but I think that has more to do with the formatting of the slides not being conducive to mobile and the sheer volume of text.

After reading through and watching the candid videos, I can say there are valuable things that early stage founders can pull out so it is worth powering through.

I think more iterations and more depth on the case studies would be helpful for levels 1&2. Meaning, a broader sample of startups in the portfolio, and more tangible examples of changes that made a customer stop chrunning or sign up faster.

Using hypothetical or anonymized case studies and too few largely keeps this framework in the level 1-2 quadrant, which is ironic. Almost like this document was built (a technology) rather than helping a specific reader (a problem + solution).

Except the actual human being who resembles the deepfake image isn't actually involved at all.

People are acting like a "deepfake of a person" is something different than a drawing, painting, song, poem or any other artistic creation inspired by, based on, or with elements drawn from a real person.

"If someone is deepfaking you" is such a weird imaginary problem. Someone might be imagining you. Someone might see you in a coffee shop while writing a screenplay and use the outfit you're wearing to describe a character in their story. Who cares?

If someone is committing fraud by trying to pass off a deepfake as a real photo, then we already have laws around fraud, defamation, harassment to cover that. If someone makes a deepfake that looks similar to a real person for their own amusement, that's no different than writing fan-fiction or sketching in a notebook.
"Should I upgrade what I have or buy something new" is a completely normal everyday decision. Of course it doesn't apply to everyone since it presumes you have something compatible to upgrade, but it is a real decision lots of people are making
The remainder of 33 is really important. If the first responder needs to move in the direction of the videographer in order to perform their duty, then the videogrpaher should move.and give them space. If the movement is not necessary, then they would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the videographer was remaining in place to harass the responder or otherwise was impeding to their duty.

It is not a crime to be within 25 feet of the first reaponder, it is only a crime if all elements of the statute are met.

I don't have very many machines running VMs, but IIRC the last time I set up libvirt (on a tiny, cheap Lenovo box to virtualize Home Assistant), it went something like this:

pacman -S virt-manager

...and the whole libvirt/KVM/QEMU dependency tree got pulled down, installed, fiddled whatever I needed to fiddle to make it start at boot, and it generally worked. I manage it with virt-manager on another machine.

Performance seems fine, and configuring the virtual machines themselves is not really much different with virt-manager than it is with virtualbox.

The subheading is either deeply ignorant or actively misleading -- "End of the line for endless boosters?".

No, it's not the end of the line for endless boosters. Humans do not retain lifetime immunity to many kinds of viruses -- the flu among them. Even if we do develop a universal flu vaccine, you will still need a periodic booster. The main difference will be that it could be the same exact vaccine, year after year. And yes, you might not need it every single year, either. But you almost certainly would still need boosters.
