An I crazy out does that feed have nothing on it besides a request to favorite the feed?

For You is based on your likes. If you get an empty feed then you probably haven't liked anything yet. Try liking a couple of posts in Discover feed and get back to For You.

When it was just YouTube Vanced they got DMCA'd for redistributing "stolen software"

So instead of "stolen software" they distribute "patches" and a patching framework.

Legally distinct and modding is a much grayer area.

It's code you run locally to company the file, change the bytecode and repack it.


If I'm refactoring, truly refactoring, a 10k line PR where all the renaming happens at once is mandatory or else it won't compile. The only other option would be incremental refactors with an intermediate, parallel state that adds complexity, increases the likelihood of missing something and makes a 30 minute, 1 time PR review become 12x10 minute PR reviews.

Obviously it has to be a pure refactor, entirely isolated from functional changes but there are plenty of similar cases where doing it once is the least effort.


But also the EU wants to add chat control so they can read all your encrypted messages so maybe you _dont_ want them to have a say in how Android safeguards work?

I'm happy for the EU to decide I control what software's on my phone and where I got it from, these are 2 separate issues

The EU is not a single person. There are some people among the EU elites who fight for an open Internet, and some who want to control the Internet. They are not the same people.

Where YouTube is my movie player and podcast player and general video player, all of which is done at 2x speed I can't imagine paying $4-6/day for YouTube.

Just my commute listening to a podcast that I downloaded before leaving would cost me $1.50 each way? Nah I'll keep my subscription thanks.


Today's forecast is partially clowny with a high of 70 and a low of 58


The overwhelming majority of AI pilot projects at companies fail. They're trying to replace people but overwhelmingly can't.


ID will be a new form of auth. ISO-18013-7 establishes the equivalent of OAuth for electronic ID presentation on the Internet. It's already accepted. Apple and Google announcing the ability to use your ID at TSA is ISO-18013-5 and it's a short hop to 18013-7 from there.

We will be barred from accessing sites without valid ID. The question is can we get a few IdPs to provide the ID in a privacy sensitive way (the relying party really only needs to know your age after all).

Ideally an international governing body, under the auspices of the UN, holds the IDs and transmits the specific claims when requested and keeps no logs on requests.

Realistically it will be Apple and Google and you'll just have to trust them to totally not use the data of what sites request your ID to track you (lmao. lol, even.)


The problem isn't the affordability of life, it's the perception of affordability of life.

If Fox News spends $200M of screen time telling everyone that the tax is making all the prices of everything go up then that will be the predominant talking point.

That's the whole issue with "post truth" - perception _is_ reality at this point, at least effectively.


Really? It sure seems like we're at the top of the S curve with LLMs. Wiring them up to talk the themselves as reasoning isn't scaling the core models, which have only made incremental gains for all the billions invested.

There's plenty more room to grow with agents and tooling, but the core models are only slightly bumping YoY rather than the rocketship changes of 2022/23.


And relevant to the summary of this paper, LLM incremental improvement doesn't really seem to include the described wall.

If work produced by LLMs forever has to be checked for accuracy, the applicability will be limited.

This is perhaps analogous to all the "self-driving cars" that still have to be monitored by humans, and in that case the self-driving system might as well not exist at all.


> the core models are only slightly bumping YoY rather than the rocketship changes of 2022/23

From Anthropic's press release yesterday after raising another $13 billion:

"Anthropic has seen rapid growth since the launch of Claude in March 2023. At the beginning of 2025, less than two years after launch, Anthropic’s run-rate revenue had grown to approximately $1 billion. By August 2025, just eight months later, our run-rate revenue reached over $5 billion—making Anthropic one of the fastest-growing technology companies in history."

$4 billion increase in 8 months. $1 billion every two months.


They’re talking about model quality. I still think they’re wrong, but the revenue is only indirectly relevant.


> There's plenty more room to grow with agents and tooling, but the core models are only slightly bumping YoY rather than the rocketship changes of 2022/23.

understandable. the real innovation was the process/technique underlying LLMs. the rest is just programmers automating it. similar happened with blockchain, everything after was just tinkering the initial idea
