Who said anything about consumers? I think viewing "the best YOUTUBE videos possible" in line with "the best CIGARETTES possible" is probably the right framing here.
From experience i haven’t come across any “agile” organization that runs true to the manifesto.

There’s been plenty of discussions why the “what could have been” got buried in certain people jumping in, creating weird layers and interpretations of some process for their own profit and ego.

I would say it is often the other way round. Many fantasy worlds are more dull than real history due to the lack of imagination of the creators.
I appreciate this is how a startup must run, but must every small tech company be a startup? Where do you find jobs for small companies which are just happy to exist and grow sustainably. Where you can come in at 9:00am, have an uninterrupted hour long lunch break at 12:00pm and stop working at 5:30pm? While also not being paid pennies? I can care about your company and be passionate about my work without having to sacrifice all semblance of any aspect of the rest of my life. If that makes me a "B" or "C" player then that's fine.
So if someone figures out how to do it, they then effectively have a button that destroys a massive amount of wealth worldwide owned by a pretty specific group of people? That's fascinating, with billions of dollars at stake people would absolutely kill for that, not to mention the governments that use crypto on a macro scale for avoiding sanctions etc. Would probably make a really good thriller.

Unexpected! Ukraine produces some of the most prominent studios and actors.
It’s that culture of fear that I don’t understand: devs working on the wrong thing. More often than not, it usually means: Is the dev spending more time than me (who is not doing the work) is willing to give him? Every professional understands priority and expectations. And communication is all that is required. But PM usually don’t understand the nature of software development and fear of losing control (the bad ones). The good ones just let people work after they made it clear what should be worked on.
Correct but that doesn’t mean it has anything to do with intentionally gaming an algorithm. TV never had an algorithm and some people were a lot better at making TV that others wanted to watch than others.

You seem to be of the belief that for anyone to be the most successful at this field they have to be gaming an algorithm. But perhaps there’s really no algorithm, or perhaps (my opinion) the algorithm is so good at showing people what they want that you can instead just focus on making videos people want.
Would you mind elaborating? Specifically what you mean with the "value of your online presence", and perhaps with an example of a rabbit hole in which you found the "old internet"? I've recently been thinking about how much the internet changed since I started using it in the early 2000s and how it mostly lost its magic, so I'm really interested in how/where you still find it.

Sweden had a pretty weird situation 10-15 years ago. The two parties that were traditionally resisting too much immigration turned around (M and S). Probably because, like all European countries, Sweden needs immigrants to keep the demography sane.

Meanwhile a political party with a neo-nazi history caught the spotlight (SD), which made it even more difficult to criticize immigration.

It was like a perfect storm, making immigration a very difficult subject to have a moderate opinion about.
Also:

- Don't litter your piece with links. Readers often don't know where they lead, whether the linked information is important for understanding the article, and which links may be skipped safely. So each link will slow the reader down, and make it more likely that they stop reading the whole thing. Similar to an overly long piece.

Better:

- skip links that are not strictly necessary

- replace links with short explanations of the core idea of the linked article, if possible (i.e. don't link to Wikipedia if you can quickly explain the concept in a sentence)

- only include links in a way that makes it is clear what is explained in the link target, so readers know whether they even have to click on it or not
D&D was highly customizable, so it was as medieval as you wanted.

Some of the sourcebooks were extremely accurate in describing the Middle Ages. Others didn’t even try.

I do like the articles core criticism: the goal of D&D is social advancement.

D&D always was a Western at heart. A group of desperadoes going town to town taking up jobs and fighting the baddies.

You are right in the general case. But the public key is included in a transaction when it gets signed, and in this particular case the attackers already had part of the private key, that's what allowed a different attacker to combine both pieces and break the private key quickly.

Writing simpler and shorter sentences doesn't always mean you are dumbing down. Before my tech/IT career, I had plans to be a lawyer and majored in Philosophy.

People might find it surprising that students were explicitly told to write as simply as possible. I come to prefer this way of writing and its a clear benefit in written communication.

It looks like there are some assumptions on why someone would write a blog. If my goal was to get the most visibility with my blog, I would choose a simpler writing style because I think its the most efficient.

More long form or flowery prose can still be posted, if that is what your audience is looking for.
Even a simple case of loading more than 2-3 pages from a given site over a few weeks could benefit from a dictionary for the HTML content (compressing out all of the common template code).

Just about any e-commerce site will involve a few pages to go through search, product pages and checkout.

Most news sites will likely see at least 2-3 pages loaded by a given user over the span of a few months. Heck, even this site could shave 20-50% for each of the pages a user visits by compressing out the common HTML: https://use-as-dictionary.com/generate/result.php?id=d639194...

Any place you'd justify building a SPA, by definition, could also be a multi-page app with dictionaries.

If you have a site that visitors always bounce immediately and only visit one page in their lifetime then it can't help, but those tend to be a lot less common.

It doesn't have to be a huge site to benefit, it just needs users that regularly visit to show large gains.

As CDNs implement support, the effort involved in supporting it will also drop, likely to the point where it can just be a checkbox to generate and use dictionary-based compression.
Easily possible, here for example: https://shopinbit.com/Toilet-Roll-Seda-PH-Neutro-Foxy-6-uds/...

> I'm not convinced OpenAI is using one model. Look at the thinking process (UI), which takes time, and then suddenly, you have the output streamed out at high speed.

According to OpenAI, the model does it's thinking behind the scenes, then at the end summarizes that thinking for the user. We don't get to see the original chain-of-thought reasoning, just the AI's own summary of that reasoning. That explains the output timing.
They came in all sorts of shapes. I distinctly recall jars of peanut butter having shirt-shaped ones in the lid for a while. Something like this[0].

> Clearly some people do like the terms of employment, otherwise they wouldn't work there.

This is a deeply naive understanding of employment.

Almost no one has a huge array of job opportunities, and they can select the one they want based on company culture.

Most people have one viable job offer at a time, and they have to work hard for it. This is even more true in entertainment fields. Many people in entertainment feel lucky to be a paid employee at all, and they can't choose between a job that requires all-nighters and one that doesn't.

There. Fixed it.
I think one of the key points comes at the very end: teaching algorithms becomes rote learning _if the teacher does not understand the underlying mathematics in depth_.

I wonder how many of the teachers who advocate for "visual" learning instead of algorithms are doing so because otherwise they'd have to admit they couldn't explain why the algorithm works themselves?

One time I was baking a cake from an online recipe, probably just after recipe sites discovered the importance of verbosity for SEO. I found myself struggling a bit because the recipe wasn't very clearly structured and was quite vague about several of the steps, but I managed to work something out and get it in the oven.

It was only then that I discovered what I had been reading was an anecdote about one time the author had baked this cake, and the actual method was given below!
The problem is that as much as I want Firefox to be a better browser than chrome - Blink is still a far better rendering engine than anything else. Every other browser either has inferior performance (including Firefox) or is just a fork of chrome.

I spent a year trying to use Firefox after being a chrome user for well over a decade - I eventually switched back when Mozilla started adding the same tracking features that chrome started out with years ago. Mozilla seems to be going down the same path, albeit several years behind and slowly. After that I just didn’t see a reason to not just use chrome if I’m going to have to neuter tracking bullshit anyway since it’s still much more performant than Firefox.

V3 complaint UB exists (UBo Lite) and works plenty fine save for what even I (as a power user) would call power user features. It’s very annoying that Google is going down this route, and I really want Firefox to be the better browser, but I just don’t think it is yet. During my year of usage you definitely can notice the performance difference and the inconsistency in certain webpages.

> Past glory is small consolation, or none at all.

I think its far worse. Current and in power ideology has co-opted scientific progress for romanticizing about a past, often fictional. That's why we have government patronage of fraudulent medicine-men and their medicine such as coronil that was supposed to ward off coronavirus and simultaneously fight the evil conspiracies of the western civilization that denied them their due glory.

I also misunderstood an aspect of your original comment. I thought you were waxing romantically eloquent -- look they had no pencil and paper and they would just gaze poetically at the heavens and maths would happen in their brains... just imagine what would have happened had they been given paper.

Hence my comment, that lack of writing material was not holding them back.

> We as people pick the winners with our money, we don't really want nice things.

We do generally want nice things, but we can't be experts in all the things. In markets where you have mostly responsible actors, that can work out fine. But absent effective regulation or other feedback mechanisms, in many markets an actor who only cares about short-term cash extraction can beat out the people focused on long-term value by taking advantage of consumer ignorance.

A good example here is food. Before the rise of industrial meat production, you would process meat yourself or buy it from a local butcher. You had a lot of information about the meat because the processing chain was short and local. You knew the people touching your food and could smell how clean they kept the butcher shop.

But scaling that up created a lot of opacity. Suddenly it was much harder to know what went into your sausage. It was tens, hundreds, thousands of people involved, spread over many miles. Some dubious people took advantage, and so we ended up with food standards like the Federal Meat Inspection Act. [1] The system that grew out of that works pretty well; things Boar's Head recently killing 9 people [2] are surprisingly rare.

For things less risky than safety, I think a lot of good is done by people like Consumer Reports and Wirecutter. Less ignorance about which products are really good is less room for bad actors to exploit consumers. If people really didn't want nice things, those would be much less popular. Instead, I think they're a sign that people do want nice things, but just have an awful lot to do, and so can't spend much time on a single purchasing decision unless it's a really big deal for them.

Absolutely my thought as well. During my thesis i found token buckets to be better and more fair compared to other algos[1]. This was in libvirt. my finding was that it scaled well up to around 1k buckets if memory serves right. after that the results were weird to say the least. (of course the servers i tested on were quite old with not too much memory). Would be nice to run my thesis tests again to find what happened in the last decade.

I tried writing another algorithm for network splitting but didn't get any better results.

Not to stan for Dyson, but they're not a vacuum-cleaner company, they're a fire-prevention company. Every decisionmaking process they undertake is going to have that at the top of the list. They don't want a lot of batteries in the field that are being stretched to the limits of their operating lives.

Of course, the company's best response to that concern would be to make the batteries easily replaceable, including by third-party products. But that's where job #2 comes in: make sure the consumer has to buy a new Dyson sooner rather than later.
A LLM combines expertise from ALL Experts.

A LLM can therefore have an higher IQ because it can combine all fields.

Also parameters and architecture might or might not be a limiting factor to us humans or a LLM. But LLM and parameter size, optimizations etc. are just at the beginning.

If we now have a good reasoning llm, we can build more test data automatically. Basically using the original content + creating new ones which can then lead to new knowledge = research.
There is some level of data exposure even if you can't tell which site, specifically, a user has visited. You can tell that "this user has been to at least one page that used X".

Depending on what the common resource is, most people wouldn't necessarily care but there may be some cases where they would.

If I can tell that you used facebook login at one point, even though it is used by a good chunk of the web, I could tailor a phish targeted at FB credentials for example.
