Clickbait titles are part of the medium of YouTube and any regular user will recognize it as such. And frankly, having watched the review, I can easily believe this is literally the worst product he’s ever reviewed; it’s a product that costs as much as a smartphone that does a tiny subset of what any smartphone already does, extremely poorly.

But let’s talk about the clickbait. The full title of the video is, “The Worst Product I Have Ever Reviewed…For Now”. If it was just “The Worst Product I Have Ever Reviewed”, that would be a perfectly fair summary—maybe a little clickbaity, though it doesn’t seem like MKBHD’s style to go on a rant and completely tear a product apart for the amusement of the audience, and that’s not what he does in the video, either. The “…For Now” vaguely implies that maybe, somehow, in the future, it will improve to the point where it is no longer quite so terrible, and there is some sort of hidden nuance to the otherwise strident tone of the first part of the title, that maybe there is some hope of the product one day, in the future, having some redeeming quality perhaps delivered via OTA update. You don’t know! It’s a mystery! And that mystery—the hope that maybe this piece of junk isn’t totally pointless after all—that’s the clickbait. You want to know what he means by “for now”! The most sensational, clickbaity part of the video title isn’t the negative part, but instead the part that implies the product might be of any value!
At a certain point, relatively little exercise (a single lifting session per week, regular walking) is remarkably effective at retaining overall strength and muscle mass. Senior lifter and bodybuilder Clarance Bass, now in his late 80s (born 1937) has followed this regime for the past few decades.

I think he covers this somewhere on his website, though I wasn't able to track that down looking for it just now. You or others are welcome to read it:

<https://www.cbass.com/>

I'll note that Bass doesn't claim that this is the only training modality, and peak-career bodybuilders will train differently. But for the general public, particularly in later years, it can be quite effective.

If there's one scourge of fitness discussions, it's a One True Way or Best Exercise fixation. People, goals, potentials, and available resources vary considerably.
Yup. My parents will drive 10 minutes one way to save $0.10 on gas. Assuming a 20 gallon tank size and filling from empty, that's a savings of $2.00. At 20 minutes for $2.00 savings, the expected value of that action is $6/hr, ignoring the additional gas and wear/tear which would lower number that even further. They are not poor people.
I’m about to try it in VR. I’ve gotten over most of my VR nausea, but I will say, the original Decent series games gave made me nauseated/gave me vertigo and headaches if I played them too much. Therefore, I am a little worried.

So much fun, though!
Nope it’s just a regular email provider with IMAP support. I just send myself an email with the link and optionally some cut and paste content or notes. I have offline backups of all my IMAP accounts also. I find it convenient because I just add that account to whatever mobile or desktop environment and then can use search functionality of email client. It’s a bit silly but it’s worked out ok for me for many years now and yes definitely works for 10k emails of bookmarks, no problem.

> And I've never heard of "enhanced video over data" - is that a US only thing?

Most budget carriers in the US, and even some plans on premium carriers only serve 720p video unless you get a higher tier plan. The reasons are data consumption.

> You have very mixed messaging - first you say that it only affects some types of connections (with the implication that it's a bad thing, but at least it won't affect everyone), but now you're turning around to say it's a good thing, actually.

QoS is a good thing. If you talk on a VOIP phone, you reasonably expect the other person to hear you clearly - not garbled and choppy. On congested networks, sometimes the network has to decide which packets to drop or slow down. They can do it indiscriminately, or they can do it by need, with realtime communications clearly being a higher priority than a large file upload for example. QoS is nothing new, and it's likely already done by your ISP.

> It will be immediately used to segment the internet into pieces and charge customers separately for it, as just another way of squeezing more money.

Then, I wonder, why it has not already been done? ISP's have been free to do this since day one of the internet. Why just now?

The ideas around "net neutrality" are complex, and unfortunately don't mean the same thing to two different people. Fearmongering about some dystopian future internet has got a lot of people's feathers ruffled, mostly over nothing in my opinion.

It's not unreasonable for ISP's in general to charge people based on consumption. We already do this with bandwidth, after all. However, until the day where egress traffic is entirely free, there is costs associated with consumption in both terms of bandwidth and data size. Networks have finite bandwidth, and the faster someone's connection is and the more data they consume, the more of these finite resources they prevent other customers from accessing.

Near-death experiences are what separate those that live in bloody defiance of their mortality - from those that unequivocally respect it. It's a sobering experience; but ironically, a close-call to the loss of life has also saved many. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t know what you are responding to.

I clearly stated that equilibrium is only attainable if everyone has access to nuclear weapons - as in every single sovereign nation - or no one.

I prefer an equilibrium of the latter kind.

I really like MKBHD's videos, but he should've picked a different title for the video.

Frankly, I feel it did way more damage to him than what he did to Aipin or Fisker, which were already universally panned.
You know what, I'm gonna go find an "under construction" animated gif to add to my website now. Thank you.
Tell the customer they can mark 0.5 Mbps of their upload traffic with EF. Anything more than that gets dropped. So if they set their BitTorrent client to mark EF they are only hurting themselves when their actually latency sensitive traffic suffers severe packet loss.
This is fascinating to me and I have so many questions! How do you feel about life now? Did you eventually end up feeling how you used to feel about life? Was it just a week of euphoria and then a “snap back to reality” (for lack of a better phrase) or was it gradual?
No, those people represent a common strain of conservative view, they just don't represent a faction which holds much power in either political party at this moment. But don't confuse the power balance of factions within parties as a representation of what views people actually hold. A two party system with first past the post primaries makes it likely that the parties will be controlled by their extreme factions, while most people are disaffected and dissatisfied with their general election choices.

Those other publications do indeed have their fingers on the pulse of the dominant populist faction on the right, just like their progressive counterparts have their finger on the pulse of the populist left. But those aren't the only (or in my view, at all) interesting things to read about.
"Don't bother enforcing laws because people try to break them" is an express ticket to a Mad Max world. It's also not a particularly interesting or practical solution, and honestly comes off as a little disingenuous.
I think they missed some of the more important pages in the Apple playbook. Imagine someone presenting Steve Jobs with this product and claiming that it was ready to be released to the public.
As an anecdote on the topic of education, as a US Peace Corps Volunteer in rural South Korea in the 1970s, I routinely visited secondary schools that (at the time) were little more than drab warehouses for large (-70 students/class) using ragged textbooks and ancient furniture. Spirits were high, though, and these farm kids were successfully learning math through basic differential calculus plus a daunting array of other subjects.

Thereafter, I have only felt (perhaps unfairly) mild contempt for the perennial whining of US critics who blame low funding for educational failing in the public schools. In my opinion the blame lies elsewhere, starting with the family.
That's a pretty bizarre take on Vassallo's part. I have no idea what kind of ethics he's thinking of. Or whose character is being attacked.

And even wilder to me was this bit: "If a single person can affect the stock price of a company, we usually restrict what they can say or when. MK should be cognizant of the unconstrained power he has (for now)."

That's just wildly untrue. For example, John Carreyrou absolutely destroyed Theranos. Nobody restricts what he says in the sense Vassallo appears to mean here. Indeed, the Wall Street Journal is successful as a business precisely because their journalists see getting the truth to their readers as core to their jobs.

If Facebook were at all a force for good in this world, maybe I'd agree with you. But given the litany of other social ills they are directly or indirectly responsible for, I'm fairly confident you could nuke them tomorrow and the world would be a better place.

So "Facebook should abort itself" is one option.
The iPhone launch had people screaming and cheering in a room.

People were also begging Apple to make an iPhone for years before it was even announced. There were fan mockups.

Apple only made it when the engineering had caught up with the vision.
yeah, I don't love it

it seems to be making new map data under a permissive licence instead of openstreetmap's copyleft one, which makes it possible to coopt the work of volunteers
Computers remove the need to have an army people to open envelopes and file all of the tax returns of the many millions of people who aren't getting audited and now file electronically, and electronically process payments or tax refunds, and validate the numbers on each tax return against the 1099s and W2s submitted by employers to make sure they match etc. All of these things used to be done by hand and it should certainly not require anywhere near as much labor to do them electronically.
Not one is actually going to make you do it though. I’m not sure what the complaint is. You’re mad they paid to sponsor an NPR station?
I really enjoyed the way you presented that, really helped me to focus while reading.
Oh yeah. I remember Trent Reznor writing an angry social media post about this probably ten years ago, more or less explaining it all. Ticketmaster only sells a small portion of a show's tickets through their official website. Most go straight to "aftermarket" outlets that Ticketmaster indirectly controls, and artists know about this and take their share of the markup.
There were also tons of other tech reviewers calling the product junk before his video.

The problem isn’t that a reviewer called it junk. The problem is the product is junk.
This is why Windows resets all DSCP bits to zero. Unless the PC is domain joined or you’ve manually set Group Policy. Otherwise every program would mark EF or CS7, kind of like how every smartphone app abuses notifications and wakelocks.

Why would your brain 'split into sadness and action' on the brink of death?
Because mine would go GPU and split into multiple threads of solutions.
Teenage boys won't necessarily know the distinction between what's shameful and what's illegal, or the bigger political beliefs around CSAM. Don't you think you're perpetuating the fear of sexuality by effectively threating to cause serious harm to teenagers for looking at the wrong kinds of pictures? Why is there such a binary classification of "no shame" and "calling the cops"? Different countries' laws put that distinction in different places. Remember this could be a minor himself who hasn't actually done any harm to anyone.
They have conservative bonafides, no scare quotes necessary. The Republican party mainstream (MAGA) is not attempting conservatism, it is right wing populism. The word "conservative" does not have a new definition, the change has been that it no longer applies to the political party it once did (at least more so).
I hope it's overstated cause damn do I not really feel like traveling. It's just a lot of work.

I'll probably travel a little within the US but in the space of therapy stuff, I'd much rather accept that I'm simply not a travel person, than actually bother traveling.
Are they retired? Their time is worth nothing, at least apparently not to them. And the thrill of saving that $2 is worth something, as is the resulting mild brag they can tell their friends.
Why do we keep thinking that people will wise up to AI-generated content just because it'll eventually be mass-produced and anyone can do it?

Anyone can write absolutely anything with little check and balance on substance, and MILLIONS still believe tabloids and headlines. We've been able to reliably edit photos/video/film for 80 years with an exponential increase in its efficiency within the last 30 - and we still have millions that would take a photo or video's substance at face-value.
Suggestion: have GPT-3.5 also write out unit tests, both strings that should pass and ones that should fail, and run the JS version of the regex on that in-browser.
I'm honestly not sure what conclusion to come away from this data with. It seems to be bolstering a (typically conservative) viewpoint that parenting is really important and that bad or unfit parents need to be kept in check by the state because the harm they may do to their kids can last a lifetime.

This article focuses on shootings, neglectful parents, etc. But what if we focused on more controversial things like only having one parent in the home or missing, specifically, a father figure, religious attitudes of parents, or even (to be maximally controversial) same-sex vs opposite-sex parents?

If those things were found to have impacts on children that last into adulthood also (since the data implies that our childhood shapes us so much), I doubt the author would agree that we have a collective responsibility to keep children from experiencing the negatives of those scenarios
> The interview has the “I worked at Apple” vibe

Is this a well-known meme? or just the general vibe of the Apple Store, calling the employees "geniuses", etc
No I don't budget to that degree. Neither did most people 30 years ago.

I put a percentage of my income into an investment account automatically every payday and forget about it. What I have left is my spending money. That's very simple and tends to work for me.
> It IS disclosed for the involved and accused parties.

Nope, defense attorneys have not had access to case files in many instances.

> Hate speech, spread disinformation about elections, irregular political propaganda, threatening other people, trying to abolish the rule of law...

You can list the whole criminal code if you want, but you cannot point to a single concrete case.

> Where is the source or proof of this information? Far right groups on social media?

Careful, you say “far right” so much that someone might mistake you for a journalist.

Here are some sources. You tell me of they are “far right groups”[1,2,3].

> Whataboutism which do not even make sense. The linked protest had not the objective of abolishing the rule of law.

Both were instances of vandalism. One had no consequences for the perpetrators. The other is painted as an “attempt to abolish the rule of law” for political reasons and has resulted in unlawful mass incarceration.

How many “abolition the rule of law” events have been attempted without the use of guns in the history of the world?

Vandalism was committed by people revolted with the idea that a country’s biggest criminal organization would be back in power. Painting this as a coup attempt is farcical.

> January 8th did not happened randomly, happening from thin air. There was an ongoing coup attempt happening since much earlier.

You cannot replace basic logic with a conspiracy theory either. You justify a 2019 inquiry (whose opening text mentions the word “coup” exactly zero times) because of 2023 events. This makes no sense and the fact that you insist on this point only shows that you are not interest in honest conversation about this subject.

You will justify any attack against those you don’t like, and you will not be limited by things such as logic while doing so. I hope you never become a victim of the kind of tyranny you support.

> You took this from far right groups in social media? Children or dogs cannot be arrested.

Just want to point out that I saw the headlines from the Verve bashing the Humane AI pin as universally terrible before I saw MKBHD’s video. He’s far from the only person with a giant megaphone bashing this device. Dave2d has even suggested he thinks these devices are a scam before they even came out as they essentially avoided reviewers and didn’t allow anyone to purchase the devices.
Thank you for explaining! I don’t agree with this, but it makes more sense now, understanding that you’re talking about modeling one’s own package around the concept. It sounded like you were talking about modeling consuming packages around it.

Which is ultimately why what you’re proposing couldn’t possibly work. Breaking changes do occur, and packages do update to dependencies with breaking changes, often cascading their own breaking changes to accommodate that. It would be absurd to have a wave of umpteen “new packages”—with new names!—for effectively a single breaking change reflected through that chain.
> They literally couldn't comprehend the idea that others weren't just hypocrites.

I've worked for/with a number of narcissistic sociopaths. They love to surround themselves with two types of people:

1. Loyal fawning adorers who give them narcissistic supply.

2. Other narcissistic sociopaths.

2 was a surprise to me when I figured it out. Why would they want to be around their competition?

Because they actually believe there are only those two types of people in the world. And Type 2 are "their tribe." Anybody who claims not to be one of those two (i.e. "Type 3") is obviously a lying hypocrite and is not to be trusted. We Type 3s make them very uneasy.

If you find Dracula lore amusing, it's astonishing how these 3 types map:

1. Humans (i.e. food)

2. Vampires

3. The Van Helsing family (i.e. vampire slayers)
This should be the top comment as it may in fact save someones life.
It takes about 15 minutes between the launch and nuclear detonation halfway across the world. I actually checked where the nearest nuclear shelter is where I live I couple years ago. It’s 35 minutes away if there’s zero traffic, which is unrealistic. So if a nuke strike were to occur my best bet is still to shelter in place in my suburban basement. The strike targets will likely be 15 to 25 miles away.
The cover looks pretty AI-generated to me too. No object on the cover makes any sense.
Just a few hours ago he came out with a video, "Do Bad Reviews Kill Companies?" (Versus whether it's bad products.)

When I was very young, maybe kindergarten, I was given permission to walk outside across a field to watch some kids playing ice hockey on a piece of ice (not a rink, just frozen water). This was in Ottawa, Ontario. I had to cross a ditch to get there. Water was flowing underneath and there was a thin layer of ice on top. I stepped on it and "fell" into the ditch water. It was probably under 12 inches of water, and I panicked and screamed. Luckily, one of the kids (probably grade 3 or 4) walked over and used his hockey stick to save me. I thanked him and walked one minute to my aunt's house, telling my family that I'd almost drowned. I don't remember their exact reaction but it was muted. I am almost positive I would have actually drowned if that boy hadn't decided to wander over and help me. It was over 50 years ago and I'll never forget it.
Maybe they're not doubling their production capacity overnight because they don't want to go downhill overnight like Boeing.
A dog is a dog. They're more likely to draw aggro from a bear and bring it to you than warn you of the presence of another threat. This is one of the reasons that when hiking you're advised to keep your dog on a leash. My state government is pretty open about that risk.
Wireless USB was also the format used by the Xbox 360 controllers.
Wrong, even if both agents are identical, and they're operating in the same environment, each run of the simulation will be slightly different, i.e. the process is stochastic (non-deterministic).

In reality the agents are not identical (e.g. different skillsets, or attractiveness to clients), and the environments are different (e.g. different professional or social networks).

And, as another commenter pointed out, the time when agents are starting is also a factor, but my point is that even if they start at the same time the result might be different.

Lastly, there is a butterfly effect - that small changes in the initial conditions may result in vastly different outcomes.
