The author builds up quite a straw man (looking for individual neurons storing a memory and that this is critical to the concept of the brain as an information processing device) and then readily tears it down.
If it's done that way, then something like SponsorBlock could upload a hash for every segment that is played by everyone with the extension. After a few hundred views, personalization will make clear which segments are the ads (because they are targeted, each ad segment will appear in far less of the segment playlists). Modify the segment playlist on the fly to only include the segments sent to everyone.

If SponsorBlock is still used by YouTube Premium users (to avoid content creator ads), this is even easier, as those users will have the "golden" set of segments.
If you really feel this strongly about it then you have a moral obligation to support with your money and your attention other services that align with your values.
How though? At least I find this problem to be kind of irrelevant to how to block ads for premium users. It can be done the same way they serve anything to premium users on server side.
Don't know if other manufacturers do it, but Martin-Baker give you a branded tie if your life is saved by one of their seats.

Gamers are a major force behind technological advancements. AAA game makers didn't take mobile or Linux gaming seriously first until the Switch came along (that had enough firepower to run older AAA games) and finally Steam Deck provided actual console power in a mobile form factor.

Gamers are what gave Steam the financial incentive to get Proton to an entirely new level. And a platform that brands itself as the future must have gaming support.
I think this is unmanageable, but I am happy with the status quo. If I want a device with an alternative marketplace, I can go go android. Instead I now have people who want to use the device that I bought under the terms and agreement that was available changing how I use the device because they think it impinges on their rights.
"What Now?

Shortly after Liaizon made their post, Jimmy Secretan made an announcement on Mastodon that they’ve deleted the entirety of the import."

"Update

A short while ago, Jimmy Secretan posted this response on everything that happened today.

"We have paused everything related to our Fediverse ingestion for now and we are removing everything ingested.

To be honest, the extreme negative reaction was a surprise to me, as I thought interaction between disparate systems was the entire point, but clearly we didn’t navigate the culture correctly.""
In lidar it could have looked like a tall traffic cone or a one of those skinny flexible posts that line the boundaries of some bike lanes. Those things cause much less damage. Telephone poles are obviously much thicker but in lidar space the two can look more similar especially if the cloud is very sparse or the sensor is broken.
> ...akin to that of a poet/painter/artist.

Anecdotally, programmer colleagues that view themselves as artists are generally harder to work with than those that identifies as craftsmen. It's generally much easier to have a sound argument about someone's work if they don't view it as their art.
So apple are required to offer a stable API for everything their device can possibly do, from the get go?
Surely you’re joking. They have virtually nothing in common.
Could be a lidar failure, or potential failure, that needed a firmware update to address.
I agree and I do
Last week, I open-sourced [KeyEcho](https://github.com/ZacharyL2/KeyEcho), a fast and responsive application built with Tauri that plays mechanical keyboard sounds as you type. You can find its performance comparison and some under-the-hood details [here](https://webdeveloper.beehiiv.com/p/opensourced-keyecho-fastr...).

I just released [v0.0.3](https://github.com/ZacharyL2/KeyEcho/releases/tag/v0.0.3), which now supports 8 different mechanical keyboard sounds and offers even better performance. It's still in its early stages, and your feedback and contributions are welcome!
While I agree with the privacy point, how is YouTube politically militant. Those are some big words.
The way I understood it from the Android history books, it's mostly that the Android team (after some initial attempts) didn't want to spend time with Linux kernel drama because they had to ship the OS in a rush. So it was just easier to fork the kernel and ship it in a state that doesn't require upstream approval.

Linux at that time was very much unequipped at handling low power devices well (e.g. Wakelocks have already been mentioned).
The first time I found a bird's nest fungus in my yard I felt like an explorer. Same for watching the various slime molds that appear and disappear at various points of the year.

The whole point of corporations is that they can sue and be sued like a natural person can - they have legal personhood, and can pursue and defend actions in their own name.

I assume the portion of the first link you're referring to is the section that starts

> Courts have also split on whether corporations may be held liable under the ATS.

This is a question about the ATS and its scope specifically; the source is not discussing the nature of corporations generally.

It sounds like the scope of the ATS is fairly ill-defined, and that at various points courts have looked for whatever reasons they could to limit its scope, and whether a corporation was involved has just been one of those reasons.
Oh, will it get cancelled like the last time, from the same reasons? Board is still more-less the same. And last time it got cancelled because board was not independent.
That isn’t how they work and that’s probably why you’re being downvoted
I'm absolutely disagreeing with your judgment that the thing looked like an AI summary. You're just a bad reader. To a good reader, all text is either helpful and truthful or not helpful and untruthful. That makes some AI texts helpful and that also makes most human texts unhelpful. A bad reader can't tell the difference.

And I'm disputing your right to call people AIS just because they look like an AI summary

I'm disputing your right to judge AIs even if they are an AI summary

I'm requesting you to read all texts and decide if they are true or not based on their logic and merits and connection to reality

> But until then, I'm quite okay with society dealing with the ugly consequences of its ugly failure to provide homes for its people.

This ignores a fundamental characteristic of human nature. If you want people to help you out, you can't screw them over.

While I don't know anything about the legislative process in Spain, I guess it is not too different from elsewhere, so you probably need broad support from the masses (middle class) to make big changes.

We already established (elsewhere in this discussion) that the rich don't feel any impact from squatting. They have private security forces, so it is a non-issue to them.

So if we want the government to provide for adequate services, middle class support is needed. If we allow all middle-class property to be stolen by squatters, there will be zero support from the middle class to provide any help to the thieves. Like it or not, basic human nature.
Also, does this mean that you should be allowed to install different browser engines that compete with Safari?
> Or you do support those and they introduce ads later.

Then you got fleeced I guess. But it doesn't have to happen this way. Existence of Nebula is a good example. Fortunately it also has some of my favorite YouTubers. I pay for premium but if YouTube ever pisses me off, it will take 5 mins for me to cancel and move to nebula.
Hypothetically, if this network would manage to mirror the Fediverse and then provide a different robots.txt/restrictions than in the original sources to be ingested by OpenAI, would OpenAI be liable?
It will bite you when you try to sell your company and they do due diligence. CitusDB was also AGPL-licensed at one point, not sure if they still are.

Still, AGPL is a proper open-source license, unlike the sleazy fake ones adopted by Redis, Elastic or MongoDB.

> For one thing, this approach seems to inherently conflict with the fact that you can link directly to a particular timestamp in a YouTube video, either in an external link using the `&t=...` URL parameter, or by just including a timestamp in a YouTube comment.

The more I think about this, the more I belive that this is literally the only reason that ad blocking cannot be meaningfully defeated for video on emand. Because of the concept of referencing a fixed point in the video by a time stamp, there will always need to be a mechanism to offset the time stamp with respect to the injected ads, which, in turn, gives ad blockers the ability to find out where the ads are exactly.
Genetic Programming was a thing in the 90s but hampered by a combination of the inefficiency of largely random mutations (plus some crossover, which was still largely undirected) with low odds of doing anything helpful, and lack of computational speed to test. A GP framework attempting to use LLMs to apply more or less "reasoned" changes within the same structure of generations of "mutations" tested against each other and previous generations best would be interesting.
The ‘Network of Web Trees’ in Gaza
As the article hints, youtube does know how long and at what positions the injected ads are. So they could use this information to skip to user-supplied timestamps correctly. The question then becomes, whether Adblockers could use this information to skip the ads.

It's a cat and mouse game.

> And if someone insists on using some shitty MS app that I can only get through the shitty ad-laden MS Store, I might re-evaluate how much I really want to chat with them.

It’s comments like this that show a huge lack of understanding of how the majority of people feel. I don’t give a shit if my parents like WhatsApp, but I still want to talk to them. And it’s hard enough to get them to use technology, never mind navigating whatever is to come here.

Are you honestly telling me that you think Meta are going to not use this opportunity to skirt around the limits placed on their apps by the apple App Store? If you believe meta, or byte dance are going to have your best interests at heart, I have a bridge to sell you
Most people bullshit at parties, either by embellishing or by exaggeration. It might not always be about their profession but it is a storytelling technique to make their story more interesting.
It's a poor indicator I'd argue.
He invents his own definition of stress, which makes people responsible for their own stress? Seems dismissive of other people's experiences.

From what I have seen, stress in people is always caused by consequences from actions that they have no control over. The extreme example is playing dice with high stakes, like running over a mine-field.

Control and predictability reduces stress. Exposing people to outcomes of random events increases stress.
So if it doesn’t affect apps with low stickiness, and the network effect will ensure that large publishers benefit from it, what’s the benefit for me as a user?
Depends on if you’re talking about civil or criminal law.
Yep. Safety for the publisher. In addition to what the sibling comments say, there’s also payment providers and App stores. They’ll test your app, trying to get your model to output content that falls under the category “extreme violence”, “bestiality”, “racism”, etc., and then they’ll ban you from the platform. So yeah, little to do with “safety” of the end user.
You can run (and even fine tune) good enough LLMs locally on hardware which for a business is very modestly priced, so the risk looks easy to mitigate.
I keep getting hit by this in C#, where int / int = int. So if I'm trying to calculate the aspect ratio of an image (which has been coming up a lot recently), I cant just do width/height, I've got to cast one of them to a float first, because int / float = float
I played around with Amazon Q and while setting it up, I needed to create an IAM identity center.

Yes. Apple’s own apps should have no advantages over third-party apps.
they should have done this in the first place. there was absolutely no reason to have parallel initiatives in android-on-the-desktop, fuschia, android and chromeos.

Google's operating system is android. it has won. extend that architecture to the chromeos.
'Shocking new study reveals the scientists are people too!'
It’s actually worse than on PC imo. Apple have a set of standards (google do too but slightly less so) that means that every app has to support Apple Pay and login with apple. This means I’m not giving my details to random third party with popular game, and I can try it and even spend money on it. With this new order, you can bet that I now have three different subscription management platforms with different rules, for example

The website gives an example:

{"input": [[0, 0], [4, 0]], "output": [[4, 4], [4, 4]]},
{"input": [[0, 0], [6, 0]], "output": [[6, 6], [6, 6]]}
],
"test": [
{"input": [[0, 0], [0, 8]], "output": [[8, 8], [8, 8]]}
]
}

But why restrict yourself to JSON that codes for 2-d coloured grids? Why not also allow:

{
"train": [
{"input": [[1, 0], [0, 0]], "output": 1},
{"input": [[0, 0], [4, 0]], "output": 4},
{"input": [[0, 0], [6, 0]], "output": 6}
]
}

Where the rule might be to output the biggest number in the input, or add them up (and the solver has to work out which).
Would we even hate the ads so much if they so many of them weren't overtly scammy? Give us quality ads and have a working system for reporting scammy or otherwise inappropriate ads, and the resistance will be much lower. A premium option for people who value their time is an entirely legit business model; taking scammers' money and effectively encouraging them to prey on free users to push users toward becoming paid users - that's not cool.

Safari feels integrated, Orion is a collection of apps with the same icon, menus and functionality but with different configuration.

Each profile produces a separate Orion.app so you end up with multiple Orion's in your dock - Safari is still the same top level app.

Extensions - in Orion each app is totally separate, in Safari there is one list of extensions and you choose which ones you want in your profile, of course the Safari extensions are clunkier than Orion which is what this thread is about, 1password not working,

It also feels like Safari takes less memory using this approach but I have not measured this.

Bookmarks differ - Orion's are totally separate, Safari's are all one tree and each profile takes a different root in the tree for the Bookmarks Bar so it is easier to move Bookmarks between profiles in Safari. And favourites are the same in all Safari profiles whilst Orion are separate, I prefer Safari here but I can see some justification for Orion's total separation.

Just retried Safari - and discovered it is more difficult to switch profiles than I remebered. The list of profiles are at the bottom of the Window menu which is harder to get to than Orion being an icon or on the tool bar - Safari for iOS is better here as it puts the profile on the toolbar (presumably as there is no menu and only one window)
I just rediscovered the quick way for safari - choose the window from the dock icon.

Orions sidebar is better as it removes the tabs from the top and also indents tabs that you open from the parent tab. However the sidebar is not up to the standard of Firefox's Tree Style Tab adding.

It's all forward looking with MacOS and Linux. Windows is the only OS that can do everything anyone asks of it right now, which is in my book what a computer should do. If games work via Proton/Wine they will have worse performance. Many do not work at all due to requiring anticheat. Windows, as a certain group loves to say, just works.

There are two types of performances: public and private. A public performance is like a busker in the street. They get a huge audience, but they can't force anyone to pay. A private performance is within a private premises. You can make people pay, but you can't guarantee anyone actually will.

Anyone can perform in public, including you and me. But you kinda need to already be Taylor Swift or whatever to perform in private.

Private platforms are aplenty. When you go to the cinema you know what you're paying for is from a proven studio or director or at the very least has been reviewed by critics.

There are private platforms online too, like Netflix and the New York Times.

But YouTube is public. It attracts a vast amount of authors by making itself public. It simply would not have all that content if it were private.

So here's the problem: I will not have ads, but I also will not pay for the public square. YouTube wants to have it's cake and eat it too. It needs to be public to attract the authors (the only people providing value). But it also wants to gouge anyone just wandering through. You can't have both.

If authors of known quality started to make private videos on YouTube then I would absolutely consider buying them. However, I won't "subscribe" and continue to pay for the service as I want to own those videos and can store them myself and play them with free software.

But there is a notable reluctance to go private. Why? Perhaps because ads made Google as rich as it is today..? They don't want you to pay for anything, they went you to see ads. That's the proven business model. I won't see ads.
> The question then becomes, whether Adblockers could use this information to skip the ads. It's a cat and mouse game.

I wouldn't call it a cat and mouse game because there is nothing from a technical point of view that prevents adblockers to use this information to skip ads. Unless YouTube gets completely rid of the concept of timestamps for their videos, they will always lose this battle.
