Seems iffy to have any sort of federated system for a video based format. Maybe there are some clever compression or hosting tricks to reduce data load.

The thing about the TikTok algorithm seems to be that there are a lot less… fingers in the pudding so to speak, it doesn’t seem to have much preference on what kinds of content users get steered to, responding more actively to what they actually show interest in.
Other systems seem to have strong preferences about what topic and styles they steer users too or away from. Distorting what content users are steered towards tends to flood their feeds with things they’re not super interested in, because what they actually showed interest in is not promoted by the system, or even actively demoted.
Depends on the part of the US.
It’s a country the size of the EU, so like, think about the political difference between Hungry and Sweden.
Like, the US system is a bit more centralized in many respects, but a lot of stuff is still very dependent on state and local politics. So just because some people say something crazy at the national level doesn’t mean that actually gets effectively implemented everywhere. A lot of the more outrageous stuff is also done at the state or local level.
Some states certainly are that bad but most aren’t, most are just… blegh. Many people with the means and bandwidth to get together and do something about the worst stuff end up moving, which sucks for those without the capability to do so.
i don’t think this is zuck going all in on trump, I think it’s him realizing there will be no consequences under him for doing what he already wanted to: not do any moderation.
He doesn’t want to have to be responsible for anything. He wants the money coming in so he can pursue his pet projects, and thus is minimizing the overhead on the existing money printers.
Alter the incentive structures of the systems so as to make it unappealing to pedal sensationalism. Change how algorithms work for promoting content so it doesn’t reward rage bait. Don’t have bad behavior be rewarded with attention, especially not when attention is money.
The best reviewers are ones where you can know if you’ll like a game based on their review, even if they didn’t like it.
I mean, it’s kind of the aesthetic nail in the coffin for the think pad. They’ve been removing the things that made them unique for a long time now. No more upgradable storage, no easily swappable batteries, no more repairability and no more brick like durability.
Like sure, the actual computer bits are getting better than the older models, but so is every other major laptop brand. Now thinkpads are just another generic laptop.
Like, if someone wants a laptop that is repairable and upgradable, framework exists now and they’re better about that than think pads ever were. Still a shame to see the think pad brand melt in to the puddle of generic laptops though.
because they only make some money selling you convenience and they can make all the money by putting you in a panopticon.
What you’ve listed is already really good for staples, if someone has the time and motivation to cook they can do a lot with that. I might suggest some things that are easier to eat straight up, or at least with very little prep. It can be really hard to make a proper meal when you’re in a tough situation, especially when you’re just taking care of your self. Dried fruits (like raisins or apricots) might be a good add in particular, some specific ideas though:
-
Some knorr pasta(or rice) sides, or other similar things would probably be good, basically just pasta and dehydrated sauce. Between $1.30 and 1.50 per 4.4 ounce pouch depending on the variety (about 450 calories in a pack). Shelf stable, decently appealing, and can be made quickly and easily (microwave or on stove tops). They aren’t super nutritious, but they’re a good bases for canned chicken/tuna or frozen/canned veggies, even if someone just eats them plain they’re better than a bag of chips or other junk food.
-
Maybe nori could be worth it? Particularly the snack packs, sometimes you can find a big pack of those for a good price. Easy to eat, good nutrition, storable. I’ve found them for as little as 48¢ a pack at stores like Costco or Walmart. Cheaper at good international groceries. I’m hesitant to suggest these as they’re pretty insubstantial for the cost, but they can fill in gaps in nutrition and add some variety.
-
Dates are a great option if you can find them for a good price. They’re easy to eat, last on the shelf, good nutrition and don’t need prep, and kids love them. The big tubs are really good price per weight, but for a food pantry, smaller packs would probably be better, $5 dollars for an 8oz pack is fairly easy to find if it’s not a fancy brand.
-
Maybe instant mashed potatoes (AKA dried potatoes flakes). Not exactly super nutritionally complex if they’ve been pealed before processing, but they’re filling, easy to prepare, very shelf stable and cheap. Good base to add other stuff to as well. Packets are like $1.40 per 4 ounce packet (about 440 calories.) .
No it didn’t. OpenAI is just pushing deceptively worded press releases out to try and convince people that their programs are more capable than they actually are.
The first “AI” branded products hit the market and haven’t sold well with consumers nor enterprise clients. So tech companies that have gone all in, or are entirely based in, this hype cycle are trying to stretch it out a bit longer.
It does full screen video and blocks ads for me.
I can even get it to pop out the video in Picture in Picture. All on the YouTube page.

I think its appeal mainly comes from the fact that it’s not overtly biased. Other algorithms could achieve the same if it wasn’t for the fact that they’re so heavy handed in what they allow the feed to promote.
