This year AlphaGoogle has an initiative to kill ad-blockers. To that end, Youtube now aborts playback after 60 seconds if it cannot contact its ad server to play commercials.

It's clear where this is heading:

1) Youtube will go after software like yt-dlp to ensure only AlphaGoogle-sanctioned players can play its videos

2) Youtube will encode commercials directly into the videos it streams

Both will come to pass. It's not 'if' but 'when'

I’ve been playing this with someone I know the last couple of days after failing to get them into Ocarina of Time a few times in the past.

I’m blown away at the quality of this port. It stays true to the original title while fixing a ton of issues that really show the age of the game. For example, free camera and 60 FPS rendering are both supported. Some 4k texture mods can also really help breath new life into this classic.

51g carbohydrates per serving, which is a lot, but only 12g of "added" sugar, and you can subtract 6g from that because of the fiber content. i use atkins rules because they're super easy to remember, i think. That's equivalent to 4 Eggo™ buttermilk waffles; again, atkins rules. there's much less added sugar, but the wheat is more highly processed so you get less dietary fiber, in fact, practically none.

Compare that to an "English Breakfast" which has 34g of carbohydrates, 15g of added sugar, but you can subtract 6.4g due to dietary fiber - yes - and it's already looking more fulfilling and better for you. The sodium is off the charts though, i'd guess because of the bacon, sausage, and beans, canned food is lousy with sodium. I'd drink hot tea and take a couple 99mg potassium supplements with that meal. Me, personally. You shouldn't, unless a doctor says so.
It seems like a 24hr delay for auto upgrades would mitigate a lot of this, maybe with some way that a trusted third-party could skip the delay for big-ticket zero day patches?

> My rationalization is that source control has already captured this history, and if someone really wanted to see what I was thinking, they could review the commit(s) for that file and get a perfect picture.

I used to think this way too... and I still kind of do if things were under control by me. Unfortunately many times things are not under control by me.

You have no guarantee your commit history will be maintained. I don't mean this as in someone is going to do something silly and edit your commit history. I mean this as in people will move your repo. Multiple times.

In these multiple repo moves, people will absolutely perform an 'initial commit' on your 25 year old SVN/Mercurial/etc. repo into the new location. Even worse are the ones that go private git repo to public git repo where this is basically the minimum expectation.

All those tools that help us migrate from one versioning tool to the next be damned.

Some clever folks even plan for this as their earning potential and end up as extended contractors well into their twilight years. I don't fault them for their plan, but can't say I love them either. I won't say their expertise is not needed, it absolutely was/is, but it wasn't their code that represented their expertise.

You have to inherently have some trust in your successors that things will always be the way they are, and that the plan will always work the way it ought to with the right decisions being made the entire way.

From my experience, it doesn't matter how smart or capable or predecessors or successors will be, it may not even matter when it comes to yourself. The short, fast, least mentally taxing route is the route that is taken and becomes de facto the best route.
I don't really see a lot of elitism in these circles - there's a chunk of such engineers that did not in fact go to Exeter and Harvard - but what they have in common is they are all to a fault very bright technical people that can produce complicated things quite quickly, and can communicate effectively with people around them - to make sure that what they produce is in fact useful :)

That’s the same problem they have with iMessage: you can watch this the first time you use a new number and it displays green at first but switches to blue once it retrieves the other party’s key. That happens by connecting to Apple’s servers, which seems likely to be the same thing they’d do for RCS.

Another function which is the same: you connect to the server to register your device to your account. It uses hardware attestation to verify that the hardware is what it claims, trying to make spammers have to buy physical devices and to prevent spoofing.
It's a bit shocking to me: I still remember all the concepts quite clearly from when I studied Galois theory ~20 years ago, to the point where I can run through a lot of the proofs conceptually in my head, but the vocabulary is GONE. Like, completely a blank, I don't remember almost any of the abstract algebra terms that all of this is expressed in.

It reminds me of the truth of the advice that my category theory professor gave us, that the definitions are both the least important and the most important things, simultaneously. They're the least important in that they're just words that wrap up very simple concepts, and merely knowing the definitions doesn't actually mean you can work with the concepts. But they're the most important thing in that most of higher level math really boils down to picking out the exact right set of definitions to use, at which point proofs tend to pop out as trivial and obvious statements using those definitions. And at a more practical level, you won't be able to read any math if the definitions are not ingrained, so you might as well get a head start and just rote memorize them if you want to succeed.

But it's interesting that the language is far less sticky in memory than the underlying intuition. My guess is that because the intuition is so much harder to develop, it wires itself in much more deeply than the words themselves, which can be pretty easily learned in a few hours of flashcard work.
What a strange coincidence!

I like this, but forgive me for asking a bunch of obvious, ungrateful armchair questions

- what are the core concepts that you've distilled from 15 years of hosted lisp?
- are these thus the most foundational types?
- how fundamental is cross-language data interop in your design so far / in the future?
- what are the main driving principles in eli (as compared to say shen)
- will there be host language interop?
- what main use cases are you targeting with eli?

clojure has been my poison, but as I've worked with teams I swung back on types and almost entirely stopped using it. but its hosted implementation, syntax, and data interop (edn) is probably the most usable in my experience, although something has always been missing, and in python land hylang is the most credible, but the DX never feels quite right

I don’t blindly trust Apple either, but I believe enough of what they say and consider the gaps when they don’t say something. They fight things like the UK E2E encryption requests… but also, having owned both Android and Apple devices, and managing my own iOS devices and the Android devices my parents own, I definitely feel like the iOS devices are more secure and less prone to bad actors via App Store. I think safari is more anonymizing than chrome.

The (US) government already has too much access to us, and I think Android is more open to them than iOS. The government has cameras in public and access to our banking data, I’m not gonna protect myself from them by choosing one platform more than the other, or one bank more than the other.

What I don’t want, though, is to be annoyed to death or scammed. My choice is more front loaded by that consideration. If I find out that Apple accedes to backdoors though, I’d have to live without both Android and iOS.
I actually found this product most interesting, perhaps oddly, for voyaging far afield from the fashion preference.

Picture leads to books leads to toys leads to ... a television that emits heat like a fireplace. I actually kind of want a television that emits heat / cold in response to what's on television (the product was just a tv fireplace that made heat).

Notably, like others have pointed out, and the author already addressed, the model definitely starts giving some rather "strange" results when you travel far away from the central training theme. Just click on a kid's hoverboard, and it gives me vacuum cleaners and leaf blowers. Dinosaur toy, and not a dinosaur in the results.

They're still interesting, and the main idea of having a "variety" slider with nearness of similarity was a cool feature for image browsing like most image searches. Be kind of nice if some browser image searches would let you have a "variety" or "nearness" slider when you're just looking at similar images.

An example of that mechanism has been in the headlines recently; see the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Gene Hackman and his wife (and their dog).
Reminds me; I have a SERIOUS gripe about restaurants closing before their posted hours end.

I respect the need to have a 'last order' time, and __if they don't list it__ , it isn't unreasonable to assume that's the final time on the door. What if I want to walk in for takeout because I HATE using the drive through? (I do hate that, far less consistent food, no chance to verify it's made right.)

I do respect restaurants that list a separate 'final order' time and 'everyone should be out' time, that's good communication.
This is a good approach for reading research papers in a new field too.
I take the silver lining. Smart people getting rich is better than dumb people getting rich. Hopefully some day they'll do something good with that money.
> Youtube will encode commercials directly into the videos it streams

They stream the commercials separately on purpose, because this makes it a whole lot easier for them to track ad impression metrics. Splicing the ad within the same feed is technically quite feasible and indeed almost trivial, it doesn't even require a re-encoding of the entire video. So we can assume that they're avoiding that for a reason.

Anything more than 40 hours is wasted life. You're not going to be rewarded for it. If they're cheap enough to not hire labor, they're going to underpay you for 40 hours of work. It's different if they give you some kind of real ownership stake in the company.

Your employment at the company is only partially due to how good you are. If management blows the company up, well, it was all wasted.

You (and arguably the company) are better off spending your 40 hours being as productive as possible, and using the rest of the time enjoying your evenings, family, books, tv shows, whatever, and recharge until the next day.
Most likely from the way they appear in nature. I was into LSD quite a bit in the early 90's, which is when I got into generating fractals through the DOS Fractint software. I would let the computer render deeper and deeper zooms over time, while also playing with the parameters and formulas.

Under the effects of hallucinogens, I found fractals far more noticeable in nature, especially when looking at trees. The branching from the base, off to smaller branches, out to the leaves. I feel like the geometric patterns that appear are somewhat of a fractal-design as well, even though they tend to shift and "breathe". I still enjoy fractals for the way they can be created through math processes, while also showing up in places within nature where there's not a computer anywhere in sight.

Somewhat related to that, I find it absurd that my wife and children need to track down their water bottles anytime we go anywhere out of the house. It really takes an extra 5 to 10 minutes to leave because invariably at least one of the children has lost his bottle. We could just be going to a grocery store, but they have to have hydration.

The only time I ever had a water bottle as a child was when I was playing soccer. We got one water break after our endurance run at the beginning and one halfway through practice. Didn't have one when I was playing baseball. Didn't have one when I was on the golf team, unless it was blistering hot out. Never brought one for day-hikes. Just showed up and did whatever and maybe stopped at a public water fountain on the way out.

I don't want them to be uncomfortable, this isn't a "back in my day, we suffered, and we liked it" sort of post. I should have had water for more of those activities (well, not baseball, it's not a real sport sorrynotsorryyouknowit'strue). I just wish they had a little more perspective on when we really need to stock up on provisions for an excursion and would not add a 10 minute delay to a trip that should take 30 minutes.

I worked on the Galois theory needed in the formalization of the Odd Order Theorem. I wanted to check to see if I had this lemma. It's been over a decade but I think I found it: https://github.com/math-comp/math-comp/blob/84cb21e7bb853041...

Lemma gal_conjg K E x : 'Gal(E / K) :^ x = 'Gal(E / x @: K).

This says for intermediate fields K and E (within some ambient separable (finite dimensional) field extension L / F), 'Gal(E / K), the group of automorphisms of E that fix K†, conjugated by (written as :^ ) x‡ is equal to 'Gal(E / x @: K),the group of automorphisms of E that fix x @: K which denotes x(K).

The fields E K and F in this proof correspond to the fields L M and K from the article; 'Gal(E / X) corresponds to X* from the article; and of course x corresponds to τ from the article.

†) technically that fix E ∩ K since our notation doesn't technically assume that K ≤ E.

‡) I believe by type inference x must be something we can conjugate the group by, and thus is must be a generic automorphism of E, i.e. an F-automorphism of E.

The fact that it was officially invoked at all is already a point of discussion. This is an act that can suspend the constitution as the executive branch see fit. Nobody has ever tried to use it since WW2, and even then it was a controversial act.

It has only been 2 months. How much further can it go in one year? In 4 years? At what point would there be real consequences? I think these questions are important enough to warrant some serious discussion.

You can't but the transistor-based approach is the inefficient one, and transistors are pretty good at efficiently doing logic, so either there's no possible efficient solution based on deterministic computation, or there's tremendous headroom.

I believe human and machine learning unify into a pretty straightforward model and this shows that what we're doing that ML doesn't can be copied across, and I don't think the substrate is that significant.
