I don’t know much apart from the basics of YAML, what makes it complicated for computers to parse?

YouTube for one, and if you were to place two windows side by side you’d loose a lot of space on duplicate tab bars.

I never got vertical tabs, I just feel like I’m loosing screen real estate. For managing a lot of tabs I much prefer the Simple Tab Groups extension.

I mean regular people don’t know how to read it, except if you randomly decided you wanted to. It’s pretty big culturally, e.g. the Baška tablet is a very important piece of history written in glagolitic that everyone knows about, and I’ve seen the alphabet randomly displayed in a few places, but nobody actually uses it today.

Damn, wild Glagolitic script found. I didn’t even realise it was in the Unicode standard.

Yeah but then you look at China and it’s at 4%. Maybe they got into the game early enough to get enough adress space for it to be serviceable?

Interesting that India has such a high percentage. I’m guessing it’s because most of their network infrastructure is probably relatively new and so they can include support right off the bat, instead of having to retrofit stuff?

Didn’t know about the outbound traffic thing, that’s really cool.

Well on one hand yes, when you’re training it your telling it to try and mimic the input as close as possible. But the result is still weights that aren’t gonna reproducte everything exactly the same as it just isn’t possible to store everything in the limited amount of entropy weights provide.

In the end, human brains aren’t that dissimilar, we also just have some weights and parameters (neurons, how sensitive they are and how many inputs they have) that then output something.

I’m not convinced that in principle this is that far from how human brains could work (they have a lot of minute differences but the end result is the same), I think that a sufficiently large, well trained and configured model would be able to work like a human brain.

I’m pretty sure any petty theft is very hard to track down. Not just bikes, if someone broke into your house and stole some minor things it’s almost certainly not gonna get found. Bikes are the same, it’s very easy to resell them and repaint, and nobory registers bikes.

Do you mean at the end? I can’t live without it, I feel kinda claustrophobic if I can’t scroll below the actual text.

I honestly don’t believe this. I still believe Linus isn’t a shill and usually has consumer interests at heart, I think the problem is that he’s just pushing too hard and feels like he’s in a fight for survival at all times, and I don’t know if I can blame him for that, being a YouTuber is harsh. He tries to keep his company afloat to feed all his employees, but sometimes that focus on profit is to the detriment of quality and then fuckups happen. And I think Linus is too tunnel visioned on that profitability aspect to realise that stuff like this hurts his brand a lot more than he believes…

I agree with most of GN’s points, but this part really rubbed me the wrong way. I think GN really should have contacted Linus, to get his thoughts and clear up misunderstandings. When they do it like this it feels disingenuous, if you really care about the consumer then it’s in your best interest to help LTT change, not to try and deal as hard a blow as possible. It feels like they’re just want them to take the punch as hard as possible.

But I still can’t believe how bad LTT’s behaviour was when it comes to Billet labs. The rewiew was bad, but I could get over it, but to sell their best fucking prototype, that’s atrocious. It’s not just the material and time cost of building it, it’s a giant opportunity cost. It’s completely unacceptable.

This person is either cursed or idk what they were trying to do. Installing Windows literally couldn’t be easier, you don’t even need to think about partitions, you can just let it create them itself.

I reinstall Windows every cca. 6 months to clear all the bloat i pick up, it’s really not that hard.

iPhones are the only the biggest by market share in very rich countries like the nordics, US, UK and a few others, with a bias towards anglophone countries I’d say. https://deviceatlas.com/blog/android-v-ios-market-share

Your last point is just how Bluetooth works. It’s not to do with the headsets being cheap. When two way audio is used over Bluetooth, quality drops dramatically because it becomes more compressed.

I think they’re fixing that with Bluetooth LE audio but I’m not sure.

This is a non-argument. The fact the website is shit has nothing to do with the fact that ads are the payment method. If you don’t like the site, don’t use it. Nobody is forcing you.

If you saw a product in the store that costs double another equal product, would you go scream at the manager that this is outrageous? Or would you just buy the cheaper one and let the more expensive one go out of business.

Yes, an ad blocker would make the site more usable, but so would just taking the product without paying.

What? No. Their product is the website. It’s like you come into a store, and just take the newspaper without paying.

I’m amazed at how angry people are at ads. I agree that this change would be terrible purely because of the customization thing, but people at some point are going to have to realise that there is no such thing as free lunch. You’re using their service/web site, they say you have to pay by watching ads and thats the deal you have. If you don’t like it, don’t use it, because if ads weren’t a thing, the whole internet would be paywalled (apart from the sites people host from their own cash/donations). The internet and big tech has for so long taken the stance to grow fast make money later, but many never do. I feel like the time of reckoning is soon upon a large part of the internet, where if they don’t make money, they’ll vanish.

Edit: just so I clear it up before anybody starts yelling at me about it, I am very much against this change for multiple reasons, but it’s just that it triggered me to see so many people attacking the wrong thing. We’ve just become spoiled by unsustainable startup practices and have lost touch with reality.

It could be useful if somebody somehow finds out their password, e.g. by shoulder surfing or perhas some other way.

Then their attack window is much more limited.
