Doesn't YouTube Premium do that? I remember some creators saying they got a lot more money out of Premium views than ad views, but I don't know anything specific.

I'm wondering if she wore facemasks in grocery stores before the pandemic? Or else they're probably tracking her purchasing behavior anyway by video. Maybe not 9 years ago but surely by now.

Another thing I hated about podcasts when I used spotify: they still have ads. I find it pretty much intolerable to get ads on a paid service. But podcasts weren't near the top of the list of reasons I cut ties with spotify anyway. (Oh

Hm, FWIW, I'm more on your side than not - I don't want to be locked out of customizing my devices. That's why I have GrapheneOS on my phone, and I think phone manufacturers may have gone too far in the overprotective side.

In what way is this development loop: 1. Read technology background thoroughly 2. Read technology documentation thoroughly 3. Practice building technology 4. Ask ChatGPT to create boilerplate for basic implementation 5. Analyze boilerplate

Those behaviors could be better described as "looking" and "facing", couldn't they? Pointing means something pretty specific to humans, especially when we're talking about human-animal interactions.

I don't think you've represented the camps fairly (actually, I don't think there are two camps). Most people (here) are probably not arguing that AGI is impossible, but that current AI is not generally intelligent. The John C

> your question is pretty confusing That's exactly the point, isn't it? If the AI had some model of reality, it would probably be confused by the question. But it doesn't express confusion, it confidently answers the quest

You misunderstand. I said target, meaning their goal would be the slowest time they could get away with. That is not an acceptable goal; an app should be faster than that.

First of all, no, they're not adults. Kids can have phones, too. Second, that's an extremely weak argument and I question if it's being made in good faith. But in case you are: the responsibility is on the manufacturer to mak

Ok, maybe I misrepresented what a good threshold is. I certainly don't expect developers anywhere to target "minimum viable load time". But the comment I was responding to was totally off the mark, so I was explaining that.

For all its faults, we can thank Subway for partially solving this problem.

Not something I had considered. So for example a UI component that might load 3 different versions based on a string identifier, should instead use an enum which maps to integers? I say an enum because this would preserve readability of the

But that's exactly the poster's point. You don't get headshot in doordash. Slightly slower performance doesn't actually change anything about your use of the app, until it becomes slow enough to make you stop using it (t

Because those things you listed are (potential) answers to my first question, not the one you quoted. A search engine should not see a site written in Arial and derank it for that reason. Blink tags, sure, they're obviously wrong for a

That's just applying a completely different and irrelevant metric to dismiss the point of the previous poster. The arms race of "fast trash" websites vs quality search results is not being won by Google or anyone else as of t

Not a harmless technique. Similar to the assholes we all know who say "Can't you take a joke?" after saying some really mean shit and then laughing at the victim.

I mean, what exactly makes the first page garbage? I'm not disagreeing, but "is this site garbage" is not a question that a search engine can ask.

I've been doing it only for 3 or 4 years, and this 100% lines up with my experience. There are times when I haven't been consistent, and it always comes down to feeling that "I can't do a good job of it right now, maybe

I already hated cars, but since I began WFH I've become really averse to driving unnecessarily. Getting killed by a car is one of the absolute stupidest ways to go. My dad smoked all his life and still made it past 60; my brain could h

I would argue that an extra day off is effectively much more than 50% more "days off" for someone who typically only gets weekends off. Weekends are a miserable day to be off if you need to run errands, or just want to go anywhere

Same problem with categorizing star luminosity... I wish we could make a shift to these cumbersome categories, but cultural inertia is tough to overcome
