The new design seems more lifted, I think it should be fine to fit your finger below there without having to lift it up yourself. At least for most people.

Save $46 billion and have musk leave? Thats win-win if I've ever seen it.

The algorithm team must have been working overtime to get passable results with 85% of the data missing!

Also, it must feel absolutely horrifying to hear Neuralink decline a surgery to fix your implant. I guess they're still used to the "try, fail, abandon" strategy from their animal tests?

Unless the casino is doing something illegal, it's really not their decision to make. If they don't want to subsidize them, all they'd have to do is be transparent and fair in their pricing. They way CF handled it instead just seems unprofessional and deceitful.

On a side note: not caring about performance "until you find performance issues" is a huge problem with modern software imho. That's the reason apps are so slow, updates take so long, everything uses so much space. I'd wish that performance would always be a point of consideration, not an afterthought once there are problems.

So you taught a chimpanzee nothing and he hanged himself? You can't blame me for that!

Working on the bleeding edge of scientific research does not relieve someone of treating animals with ethical consideration. A "move fast and break things" approach might be good for a startup and maybe even for a rocket company, but that approach isn't okay if "breaking things" includes living, feeling animals.

"Listen. I just have the best body. My ear did all the healing and it did it so good. The doctors can't believe it, they say no human has ever healed this fast before."

Definitely agree. Maybe you could argue that you'd just need to cut out former East Germany to make the post accurate, but even overall, germanys far right is definitely strong.

In addition to the other comments: Germany has a lot of voters that are like 60+, some of which either don't care too much because they will die long before the worst of climate change happens, or simply don't want to change. Any policies that try to reduce carbon emissions are met with criticism by people not wanting to change their own behavior.

Exactly! If anything, the post could be the other way around, cause against chess bots I can at least get in an opening and maybe a short mid-game before getting destroyed, instead of the instant headshot in fps games

I selfhosted Invidious a while back, but gave up on it when it stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. I have no experience with Piped.

I settled on a third alternative, but I don't want to point too much attention to it because I think it might be flying under Youtubes' radar at the moment. But let me say this: if you embed a youtube video on a third party site and have it be part of a playlist with only the video in it, you won't see any ads. so for example I'd be embedding a link like this: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?playlist=dQw4w9WgXcQ&vq=hd1080&autoplay=1&modestbranding=1&rel=0 on my own page and can then watch it without ads :) if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up.

EDIT: Well, I just got the first ad using this method. So it seems youtube is cracking down on all ad avoidance methods and they found this one too. Only one ad so far, so it doesn't seem to be as bad as their own site, with (sometimes multiple) ads before almost every video, but I'm sure it'll happen. Guess Piped/Invidious it is!

I agree that junior devs should focus on readability, rather than focusing on everything and just getting it all wrong. but as you say, if you have more experience, performance should be a point of consideration.

Tesla will be renamed to "X (formerly known as Tesla)" to keep it distinct from "X (formerly known as Twitter)". Then, once all his companies have been renamed and finally merged, he'll just run X into the ground. Way more efficient than doing it for each company individually!

I think loops tend to be faster, but well done recursion might be just as fast. I just wanted to mention performance being a point of consideration when making these decisions. I 100% agree that poor (API) architecture is probably one of the biggest reasons for slow software. It's just that every bit of poor performance adds up along the way, and then we end up having fast computers (that are orders of magnitude faster than anything 15 years ago) running bloated electron apps (that are sometimes even slower than their equivalent 15 years ago) and it's just frustrating.

Currently, AI is not advanced enough, I agree. But it could be eventually. The thing is, it doesn't even need to be mad at us for us to go extinct. It's enough if it has different goals and human survival is not a priority of the AI. And goal alignment is a surprisingly difficult task from what it seems like.

yeah I know, makes no sense. I'll use this workaround for as long as possible, but I'm sure I'll have to move to Piped or Invidious sooner or later.

The thing is, I do see ads when I open the embedded video/playlist on youtube! I don't think businesses would specifically avoid embedded playlists, but then happily advertise on playlists on youtube. It just looks like an oversight rather than a business decision to me.

The least they should do is make sure no animal suffers needlessly and no more animals than necessary are used for testing. I don't have confidence in moral standards, when employees say the number of deaths is higher than needed because of demands of faster research.

Also there is some research on non-invasive ways to get signals from the brain. Why not try that before testing implants on animals?

Sadly true! It seems their TikTok marketing campaign has paid off. I'm very disappointed by that.
