I think it's interesting how people do sometimes complain about the echo chamber, tumbleweeds of moving from one 'so big it's infinity' space, to another one which is a smaller 'so big it's infinity' yet still immeasurably larger than your normal circuit.

Yes, your favourite filmstar you follow isn't there. Yes, nor are 10 people you know. But you know what? nine million, nine hundred thousand, nine hundred and eighty-eight other people are there. If you're bored, why not reach out and say hello to every one of them? (not yourself: that would be wierd)

I had a brief period 3 decades ago where on some electronic fabric (I forget which) I was contacted by random coders in Peru, to try and help debug a problem. I have no idea who these guys were, but we established a basis to communicate for a while. I think thats a lot cooler than Justin Bieber's latest tattoo drop.

I think it's like "but is he the one" -the belief there is only one, only one group, only one fabric to talk to people, only one way, is .. well it's silly. There are lots of ways to talk to people.

Ok. so then the world is a better place because instead of having zero solutions, there is instead an imperfect solution.

Glad you agree that this is still massively a good thing.

Then other people should feel free to go do something to fix that, instead of attacking other people who are fixing it in their own way.

Yep. There is a well. That is measurably helping people. And the world is a significantly better place with that well than without it.

There's something off about doing it for profit though. And there's plenty of reporting out there that shows his philanthropy isn't all it's cracked up to be in many cases.

It's also silly to imply that simply doing some philanthropy somehow washes out anything bad you might have done. Often philanthropy is precisely a PR exercise to distract from that stuff.

I'm responding to questions on whether or not this could work - "Isn't this just naive and may not actually produce useful results".

It could work in the degenerated case of just having a giant dictionary of the top hundred million websites and all their topics, so it stands to reason it could work with "ai" too. Each region's browsing behavior is so "head heavy" I would think you'd rarely need to interpolate to see things that weren't in the "training set" of offline categorized sites.
If it’s deliberate there’s no reason to apologise and follow up with an excuse. Unless you’re trying to shield yourself from criticism you know you deserve and could avoid. That would be dishonest so I’m not going to speculate.

As someone who wrote a budgeting app, historical data > 1 year is a lot less useful than most folks realize. I would say at least 80% of folks never look back further than 6 months. It's not even worthwhile for comparing YoY as your lifestyle, the economy, etc change so much.

I ended up adding per-transaction opt-out roll up functionality for this reason, effectively squashing transactions into monthly and yearly budget summary transaction. Saved a ton of space with little loss of granularity.

yeah i thought that was interesting, as if to say, if we made a pet torture video that has the most views ever, that's what's important. Also how wedded it is to youtube. understanding how youtube works is more important that making funny or engaging content. it's a reverse of 'if you build it they will come' when it comes to excellence.

Well... did it? Again there was a hypothesis, and a measurement that disproved it. It's not very good science to say "well, the hypothesis may still have been right on this older system that wasn't measured". What you're applying is essentially conspiracy logic: you can't validate an incorrect statement by pretending that it might have been true "at some point in the past".

I love that WebRTC re-uses existing IETF standards. Makes it easy to plug existing pieces together.

I tried to capture that with webrtcforthecurious.com breaking it down by subsystem.

A small sedan can hold 5 adults in a pinch, but if you always drove your average sedan with 1,000lbs inside, and stopped every house, it would wear out extremely quickly and would drive/perform awful. Moreover, most small cars aren't actually rated to hold the weight of 5 adults, despite having 5 seats.
“everyone overindexing on everything” is the kind of glib linguistic failure mode that gives powerful nerds a bad name: people who read it got dumber thereby because it’s got a hip sound and some pseudo-technical vibe and means nothing. And deploying that to hand-wave over the difference between Aaron Swartz and Sam Altman is pretty offensive to anything like the better angels of hacker culture.

One of those people actually died directly downstream of an act of civil disobedience with the issue being the commons of scientific knowledge. One of those people is on the shortest of lists around blurring the line between train and validation sets for personal financial gain so callously and so effectively that we’ll be years if not decades recovering.

People listen to you. I listen to you.

Aaron Swartz is nothing to do with this perverse contemporary thing. Far more recently than intuitive, our role models would sacrifice everything they have to take a stand. Today influential people take a stand on their own narrow self-interest even if it requires the sacrifice of what everyone has.
> otherwise it comes across as someone arguing for the sake of arguing

It's funny how you don't think this applies to you, especially since you came in almost a day after the HN discussion started and long after everyone else stopped replying. In this way, you prolonged an argument that had already come to an end.

> That same funding dynamic plays out with lower ranked schools because they tend to get much less research dollars.

Well, the humanities tend not to get a lot of research dollars, period.

> The point is about how reputation is related to funding

And my point is that they're not as closely related as you seem to believe.

I'm currently developing an online game and have been looking into anticheat measures. From what I've seen, kernel level anticheats basically keep the honest people honest, and any determined cheater can work around them. I do wish Windows had some better way to ensure things are tamper proof for online games.

I actually think it's a good idea to charge at least a small amount of money for online games, so that when cheaters are banned they will have to pay real money to remake their accounts.

In a previous game I worked on, there were freely available and easy to use cheats. This completely ruined the online experience. At one point I wrote a small script to detect an irregularity used only by the cheaters, and the number of people who were banned was astounding. Of course the cheaters patched their cheat within a week and we were back to square one.

> OK, but I am pretty used to standard English usage and my understanding is that vernacular usage of parallel - when referring to time - is that they start and end at the same time

So what happens if one task is simpler and ends earlier? it needs to continue running to be parallel and wait for the other task to end together? Maybe I'm in the wrong here and would love to understand it but for me it doesn't make sense (English isn't my native language tho).
Funny because the last place I worked it was as if senior management were playing The Roof Is On Fire song non-stop through everybody's speakers. You know the song, "We don't need no water, let the MFer burn!"
I trust facebook not to scam me (..?) much more than I trust a random stranger. As someone who worked in big tech, my takeaway was that they’re absurdly worried about data privacy and security when it comes to PII and such. They’re evil, of course, but not because they’re opening credit cards in the name of their users…

Tho tbh maybe they could sell the resulting info? I guess? Address isn’t exactly top-secret info and I give it out all the time to worse companies than Facebook, but still, they could (and probably would!) sell it for a few fractions of a cent to some big data conglomerate.
It does come from a point of privileged. Steve jobs said "A players hire A+ players. A+ players hire A++ players". That was because he saw A players hiring B players. B Players will hire C players - and so on.

That is all well and good when you are the golden goose that is Apple. Most people just do not get the opportunity to hire like that.
The amount of bootlicking content in here is ridiculous. Nothing in this is special or has much to do with MrBeast's success. In fact, it has a lot more to do with damaging the brand which has happened recently. Thinking you will find success even remotely like MrBeast's by following the contents of this document is hilariously naive.
Ace score of 8. Outside of medical things outside of my control, relatively ok I guess. I have responses to things and a perspective on life shared by almost nobody I meet, which can make things a bit harder, more so it leaves me feeling out of place because I know the world and the individuals in it in a very different way that most never will.

I was surrounded significantly by organised crime growing up, and big parts of it, and the people involved were normalised to me. Sometimes I will speak of things I encountered or endured growing up, and people become visibily uncomfortable. I often forget that it's very confronting for others, because for me, it was so normalised, it's just a part of who I am, even today.

For instance recently a group I was in asked us to recount some experiences we had at a certain time and place, and they specifically asked about crime.

Turns out that didnt mean "tell us about how you had your head ripped open in multiple places with a steering lock and were left for dead on the street" because that's a story normies can't really gel with. Recounting such stories can cause people to look at you in a very different way following it.
Rick Perry was also appointed to run the Department of Energy presumably because he was famous for previously saying it should be abolished... yet by all accounts seems to have taken the job seriously and did it well.
Very cool! This is, IMO, perfectly in the spirit of all tinkerers and hackers, building their own solutions when they need from what they have. There is nothing Rube Goldbergian about this. My 2c.
> excuses for why it's not necessary in this instance to re-examine your priors.

Not being funny, how often is this the answer:

I didn't have one prior, I'm being told what to think by "smart people" online and I make my identity alignment with them. I'm empty and can't think of anything on my own, so when I read something, I add it to a memory bank to bring up later in life in conversation with others to come across as "knowing a little bit about everything"

Um well, Mr. Beast IS a fraud (do a casual search), the content is crass, exploitative, and it's perfectly reasonable to critique a person when they have a personalized brand.

US is outrageously safe. People are just terrible at assessing actual risk vs. perceived risk. What specifically do you think is unsafe about the US?

Healthcare, yah that kinda sucks. We’ve got a really high ceiling and a really low floor. Other countries have a lower ceiling and a much higher floor. A significant problem in the US is that people don’t know how to navigate the health care system. That raises the floor quite a bit for the average person.
I don't think it's junk food. It's...just not compelling to me.

My junk food consumption is really just education/science/maker youtube recommendation engine. Yes, I am constantly learning lot of interesting things to a certain level of depth, but I would be better off with only consuming youtube in the evening to wind down and getting things done in the morning and afternoon or diving deep where youtube don't tend to go.
If you build the mqtt server on the pi, the problem is solved :)

That was 200 years ago. Nowadays the US offers no guidance on freedom or prosperity. Pretty much the opposite, US corporations/Big Tech drains capital from the whole world to keep the resources flowing to US americans benefit.

The Marshall plan was so long ago (and didn't benefit my country, Brazil). Current US doesn't like to share (besides spending a lot of money to protect Western Europe and parts of Asia). It is no surprise most countries are looking for alternatives.

>I always love the "just hire A-players" line.
As though startups are trying to hire mediocre people instead of having no choice.

If a startup can't attract talent (a sign of bad traction), that startup probably is not that good and more people won't solve the underlying problem. You would also be surprised how many startups outsource dev/marketing/etc. in their initial stages.

If you can't convince smart people to work for you and that your idea is good, good luck trying to convince customers of the same.

>And that 95% of startups don't know their metrics. Pretty sure almost all do but again don't have the skills or resources to meaningfully move them.

I said most don't know them as well as Mr. Beast. Read "Chapter 1: What makes a Youtube video viral?". Most founders have not put the same amount of time into seeing how to track, measure, and impact metrics. He identified key KPIs and then experimented with changes until he found what worked. His whole north star to, minute by minute, structure each video, is informed by the KPIs. His whole strategy is built upon metrics by metrics.

He clearly is obsessed with them to a degree few are. Some startups don't even know how much money they make, how much money they lose, etc.
