Preventative checks are used in Sweden where there’s evidence for their efficacy - for example, mammograms for all women over 40, screening for colorectal cancer for everyone over 60, etc.

It’s just that evidence for efficacy is the bar that each screening has to clear, and general yearly health checkups did not clear that bar.

I imagine having to commute for that amount of distance in a car each day is not helping. I hope your situation improves, you do not deserve the pain

If you know where to look, you can get a very respectable bike for not a lot of money.

Especially considering that car prices have more than kept pace with bike prices

Not Invented Here includes the whole stack, including the operating system and the hardware

If you get a push notification on your phone, everything you see in that notification must by definition pass through the push notification service.

This is immediately disprovable by anyone who has ever implemented push notifications on Android

Anthropic’s uptime website is actually one of the funniest jokes of this year

Most hardware is only really true if you account for older hardware in circulation, most new hardware will be shipping hardware decoder support for AV1.

On top of this, the software decoder support is remarkable for AV1, libdav1d is a marvelous piece of software, bringing access to a plethora of devices lacking hardware decoder support.

This is only really true if you have extreme throughput requirements, a regular VOD operation can get by fine on software encoding.

If you have the kind of throughput needs that warrant hardware encoders you’re going to want to go ASIC anyway, so regular server hardware won’t cut it. Like YouTube for example had to build their own ASICs because of the downright absurd scale they are running at

I do! I’ve done some DIY repairs on it several times. It’s a Roborock S5. I’ve had to replace the lidar motor and the charging station, but it’s still going strong.

I’ve had a robot vacuum since 2018, and it’s still going strong.

It’s easily in the top 5 of best purchases I’ve ever made

I mean, that’s gotta be grounds for termination if anything

It’s a really dumb way to frame what the OpenAI people actually said on this - they are saying that the people applying to them want to know how many tokens they can use as a tool to accomplish the job they are applying for. There’s a fundamental difference to compensation here to compensation, where tokens as compensation would be how many tokens the people applying for the job would be able to utilize for their own purposes, whatever they may be.

To illustrate - I would probably be reluctant to work for a company which would not be willing to spend the amount of money that would get me a more or less top of the line computer with which to perform my job. Not because I consider my company-provided development machine as a part of my compensation - it is merely a tool I use for my job.

The people applying for these jobs are the kinds of people who think that burning an exorbitant amount of tokens will make them quite significantly more productive, so the metaphor of having the best tools available to accomplish the task at hand extends here, in accordance with their belief system.

There’s then the quote from the VC ghouls, but I don’t think anyone could accuse them of being competent to any significant degree, so their quotes are most appropriately used as toilet paper.

Sure, but that can be said about almost anything.

Still, I’d be surprised if they went the route of embedding ads into the stream, in part because of measurability/skipability/etc. It’s definitely not out of the question, but I think we’re still ways to go before we get there.

And even then, tools like yt-dlp would probably be able to apply some heuristics to figure out which segments are foreign to the stream and slice them out that way. Blocking yt-dlp would require DRM, which in turn requires changing the transcoding pipeline in a pretty non-trivial way. I also doubt they would willingly go this route.

That would mean reencodingevery video for every user and would need an insane amount of computing power.

You actually don’t have to, on account of how adaptive video streaming works. It’s fully possible to serve a few segments of ad content mid-stream.

This is my understanding as well, yeah.

Those will not block YT ads.

This is correct

but YouTube ads are delivered directly into the video stream.

This is false

I don’t think you are mature enough to have a driver’s license. You should probably turn it back to where you got it from and leave driving to the adults

RTOs are most often a “one free layoff”-card that businesses play, so firing someone for criticizing it is very much in line with the underlying intent of the policy.
