This infuriates me. I know the video exists, that’s why it’s on my watch later.
It’s like adding an item to your cart, and then having an ad for it at the top of every search result.
Another thing I hate is if you watch a video from a playlist (or the “podcasts” tab on a channel), and go into your watch history to continue the video, you can’t. It just shows a link to the entire playlist
I on the other hand wish it would do that more often.
When I open YouTube I’m always distracted by the recommendations on the initial screen, and then I never get around to the Watch Later list. So it’s nice when Watch Later videos show up on the initial screen.
I wish I could tell it to consistently show me one or two Watch Later videos on the initial screen rather than doing so seemingly at random.
> I wish I could tell it to consistently show me one or two Watch Later videos
I would be 100% A-OK with that if it had its own section. Like there's a "News" section if I scroll down a few rows. Put "You wanted to watch these later" down there as well. Absolutely do not put them in suggestions though.
I’m curious if the chi-fi market will take over headphones in the coming years.
IEMs are a bit easier to be competitive at, not having to worry about acoustic effects of ear/head shape, ergonomics/comfort is much simpler with IEMs, etc.
But clearly good headphones are still working on a massive margin.
Going by Crinacle the current king of chi-fi is Moondrop.
Personally I own Moondrop Aria IEMs for on the road, and for home Shure 840a cans with 1540 pads to kill the extreme treble. My cans before that were Audio Technica M40x with felt mod + new pads.
I’m excited to see if chi-fi will be able to dethrone either of those bang-for-buck kings.
I did a similar surgery on a pair of Sony over the ears I mostly used when travelling, the older 900N.
It helped, but it's still no match for my SIVGAs :)
> Going by Crinacle the current king of chi-fi is Moondrop.
Agreed, I have their USB-C DAC, it's wonderful when used with the very comfortable SIVGA :)
It's hard to express what I like about the Linsoul: they are extremely versatile (custom cable etc) while also being very affordable (about $40) while offering an audio quality way above far pricier IEM.
So I purchased a few and keep a pair everywhere I may need them (car, office...) to have a consistent music experience without having to bother carrying them.
That's still possible with $200+ IEM, but not something I'd naturally do.
For music, I prefer something fully passive with a balanced TRRS cable, so both features are N/A on the models I use :)
When I need ANC, I have a pair of Sony XM and while they are great for these 2 parameters (ANC and good battery life), the SIVGA and LINSOUL offer me a better musical experience which is something I care about a whole lot more!
I’m far more addicted to scrolling on reddit than instagram. As good as modern social media algorithms are, my curated feed of niche interests and communities I’m a part of, is just a lot more addictive to me.
The format of mostly text based content (even if it’s an image on reddit, I’m mostly there for the discussion below) is a lot easier to open and look at for a few seconds than the mostly-video instagram/TikTok feed.
Is this not a thing in the USA/world? Here there is a government/school system website for careers. Listing educational requirements, average salaries and high/low end ranges, how much demand there is for the career, working conditions, and often interviews with people in industry.
It's worth getting a list of the most common passwords and rejecting them, regardless of whether the passwords are generated by machine or by the user.
For four digit numbers there's barely any variation in what people use. Even 1234, the most common, is only twice as likely as hundreds of other PINs. Maybe block the top half a percent of most-guessed pins.
> I think it's so much harder now for developers to develop "mechanical sympathy"
This has always been something that’s fascinated me, how some people don’t have this feeling of “mechanical sympathy”.
Feeling “bad” (not the exact right term but I don’t know how best to describe this very intangible feeling) for a high-revving engine, or a CPU wasting cycles, or a structural component being under too much stress. Even if all of those things are within spec.
It feels like the drive to avoid that feeling ends up creating better solutions: more efficient code, a better distribution of stress across a structure, etc.
But I wonder if it’s something learned, or something that people just “have” to a certain degree.
Not trying to pathologise everything, but it feels like the sort of thing that would be correlated with ASD
I expect it's both! Easier to learn for some, but nobody's born knowing it.
However, we have to set ourselves up so that it's easy to learn. With my early gear, I could hear it. Hear the disk seeks. Hear the bits streaming down the wire. I could see it via the blinkenlights.
In recent years, I've had to activate it, even build it. E.g., at the top of my screen I've got mini graphs of CPU, RAM, net, and disk activity. I'm constantly re-confirming and re-challenging my intuition of what's going on. And with distributed systems, I find various ways to keep feeding myself the sort of data that, over time, turns into intuition.
And that's so hard these days! Not sure how fresh-out-of-college developers are developing those intuitions, but I hope they're finding ways.
FWIW, I'm sick and am currently looking at a bottle of Robitussin Dry Cough Forte, and the only active ingredients are DXM. But yes, if you're wanting to do high doses, tablets are gonna be the least unpleasant option
That's because, as far as it exists, America's nanny-state sucks, (the secondary drug ingredients have a dual purpose of treating some other ailment beyond cough, such as chest congestion, and dissuading from intentional medicative overdose), and you're probably D&U.
Agreed on the nanny-state bit, but we kind of get what we deserve since most people are ok with "protecting" us from dangerous drugs. Except for alcohol and tobacco, those get a pass for $ome rea$on.
At least cannabis is making it's way into normality and states are recognizing that there's money to be made.
The ability some people have to make everything political never ceases to amaze me. It's a conservative car because you can checks notes fit a wheelchair in the back?
It's simply an appliance. It's no more political than a toaster. Maybe more liberals like toast, but that doesn't make the toaster liberal.
If there were no discernible conservative/liberal divide, what reason would the National Review (or The New Republic or The Nation or...) have for existing? And this sort of piece requires no research and fills space.
Choosing to not recognize that political labels, like all subcultures (punk, goth, cottagecore, vsco girl, suburban dad, tech bro, raver, lgbt), have “aesthetics” that affect huge cross-sections of people’s lives from fashion, interests, to purchases doesn’t make them go away, it only lowers your own predictive power.
It helps make them go away, over time, in the same way that refusing to use group statistics to make judgements about individuals (at a cost to your own predictive power) helps redress the inequalities that led to differences in groups in the first place.
Ohh don't get me wrong, I strongly agree with this. But I think it's okay to take the blinders off to answer "why do these seemingly unrelated groups of people not buy hybrid cars?"
I really think the distinction is whether you look at these labels in good faith, care, attention to their history, and always through the lens of intersectionalism.
