> The inexorable rise of podcasts, and the expansion into audio journalism by formerly print-only news outlets like The New York Times, has chipped away at traditional radio’s presence in public life.

Reads almost like the NYT is bragging about itself contributing to the shutdown?

We are talking about the instant checkout feature: https://openai.com/index/buy-it-in-chatgpt/

Assuming you visited this "not a well known site" directly, you did not use the "ChatGPT checkout" feature discussed in TFA

Probably practicing minimalism

This would require 18000 frames

No. What they're saying is ISO multiplies brightness, essentially exasperating differences. Roughly, ISO 200 is 2x gain and so on. So if you have one pixel with a brightness value of 1, and the pixel to the left has a brightness of 5, and an ISO of 500, then it becomes brightness 5 and 25 respectively. Oversimplification.

It only works because the other provider has a more private implementation compounded with bad security.

(I am a social democrat, not a libertarian) All models require to some extent the youth working, but not all require a part of the youth's fruits of their labour being taken and put into social security. A libertarian might say that the onus is on the boomers to save enough money to fund their own retirement so that they're not reliant on the social security safety net.

I think what you are referring to is the economical model of growth at all costs (for this I use the term blitzscaling)

I think of hyperscaling as more like growth faster than what the team can manage, for any reason.

Hypergrowth can be natural. Random example but what if you designed a microblogging service and all of the sudden the biggest platform gets bought by a facist and users come flocking? You could start turning users away or you could work as fast as you can to accommodate them and make small mistakes along the way. Both of these are reasonable decisions and neither one is really wrong.

Have you ever found a vulnerability in modern macOS?

The analogy was bad. You're effectively renting space in their fridge. In that case, absolutely.

Can vouch for the nomad. Battery is about 6 months and can be wirelessly recharged in a day. Speaker is a bit quiet but functional. Updates reliably and frequently.

I would just like to point out that Michael Reeves (the poster, no relation to youtuber) is a high schooler who has also found numerous high impact vulnerabilities in Apple software. Immensely talented.

criminally feels excessive?

> I've always been a bit skeptical of JS charting libs that want to bring the entire data to the client and do the rendering there, vs at least having the option to render image tiles on the server and then stream back tooltips and other interactive elements interactively.

I agree, unfortunately no library I've found supports this. I currently SSR plots to SVG using observable plot and JSDom [0]. This means there is no javascript bundle, but also no interactivity, and observable doesn't have a method to generate a small JS sidecar to add interactivity. I suppose you could progressive enhance, but plot is dozens of kilobytes that I'd frankly rather not send.

This is my intuition according to empirical evidence but I’m curious if you have any studies on this matter?

I taught myself how to program as a teenager by… programming. While I didn’t have an academic background, I was perfectly capable of contributing to OSS and working. Rarely ever did I think “I wish I had a degree to do this.” The little bit of academics I did need I also self taught, like time complexity. The only case really where the degree may be helpful is leetcode type interview questions where you need to know the algorithm.

> Mostly because now code often feels so disposable and fast

I really like this thought. We used to take pride in elegant solutions and architectural designs. Now, in the era of shipping fast and AI, this has been disregarded. Redundancy is everywhere, spaghetti is normalized. AI code has always been unsettling for me and I think this is why.

> Not sure whether such "criticism" is welcome here, since it is ultimately subjective, but I will just be blunt and say: I disagree.

If this was my post I'd certainly appreciate criticism.

> but I think this article overdoes it

Perhaps its overdone in places, to your credit the question about if 100 was an arbitrary number was a bit much. But, as a counterpoint, I found the related pondering of "might it make sense to have variable time duration windows" to be interesting. The interpolation YouTube ultimately selected is deceiving and variable density could be a way to mitigate that.

There's definitely a healthy balance and perhaps the author teeters on the verbose end, but I mostly just wanted to voice that I was surprised about the type of article it was, but not in an unpleasant way.

I mean Josh's site is undeniably more visually polished as a merit to him. His site is definitely more SEO optimized, by covering a technical topic generally instead of multiple topics surrounding a single problem. But the aforementioned SEO strategy is to the detriment of the enjoyability, at least for me. If I was seeking documentation, I'd be happy to see Josh's work, but for entertainment I wouldn't read that but I would read this.

I found this article pretty interesting because ultimately it didn't cover a lot of ground, but instead examined the ground with a microscope. From the title, I was expecting it to be some really complex system youtube was using—and an even more complex attempt to r/e—but really it was mostly intuitive solutions. YET with that being said it was a really enjoyable read because of how in depth everything was covered. I think this article presents a very strong teaching tool, as the best lessons are taught with a strong motivating example to ground in. Kudos to the author. Reminds me a bit of Josh Comeau though arguably better in some regards.

I've had email correspondence with gyrovague where they've shared this exact sentiment.

I think Streisand effect is the goal. Look at the username of TFA poster and the name of the person the article author suspects.

Perhaps, and yet I've referenced this article numerous times over the years. The most important property of an archive is that it saves an authentic copy of the source material—that is to say, the archive must be trusted. If archive.today is indeed a legitimate archival source first and foremost as it purports to be, the user has a reasonable interest in investigating the people behind it so that they can come to an informed conclusion about if they can trust the archive or not.

Archive.today has a different approach to the baseline archive technology (executing javascript at archival time and saving the DOM instead of saving and replaying server responses verbatim). Additionally, Archive.today employs a number of site specific mitigations which aren't visible to the end user. In some cases, for instance, they use accounts, but then retroactively modify the DOM to mask this mitigation.
