Claude is good with code but I've found gemini is good for researching topics.


Totally agree


Just pause watch history and it will disable shorts recommendation. The only shorts you will see will be from your subscribed channels.


I've always had watch history off, but my searches now return a couple of pages of short form nonsense, before my actual results.


YouTube search is just broken. Has been for a long long long time. You get 3-4 relevant results and then it just shows you random unrelated crap.


It's not broken from Google's perspective. The results are just optimized for their ad revenue rather than your viewing preference. Even the engagement hooks don't care what your viewing preferences are - just what they've calculated to optimize watch potential * ad revenue.


You've got to permanently block 1000s of "popular" channels. Then youtube starts working like it did in 2006 again.


It is better to use google to search youtube via site:youtube.com operator.


Better to use Gemini to search YT, you can just talk to it what you want, and see the videos right there in the chat window. I used this to find well targeted music, it can also review artists and discuss about them not just play music.


NEVER worked for me. I have always shorts shoved in every possible page, device and results, and I have watch history off since forever.


I read a Youtube comment recently on pro AI video, it was

"The source code of gcc is available online"


This is cool but who owns music collection these days?


I do, I buy albums on Bandcamp, rip my CDs, and as a last report buy MP3s on Amazon, which are surprisingly DRM free.


Definitely more common to just use streaming services like Spotify, but some people do own their music library. There’s probably a decent sized overlap of those who buy music and those who self host things like jellyfin


Few months ago I did exactly this. But over time I threw away all the generated js,css and html. It was unmaintenable mess. I finally chose Svelte and stuck with it. Now I have a codebase which makes sense to me.

I did asked AI to generate landing page. This gave me the initial headers, footers and styles that I used for my webapp but I threw away everything else.


> And will only get better once Go 1.26 is out.

Can anyone tell me why? What's changing with Go 1.26?

I wonder if there's a limit to space junk beyond which leaving the Earth in a space shuttle becomes impossible.


These satellites are low Earth orbit (LEO)

They're extremely sparse. Imagine putting 12,000 satellites randomly over the surface of the Earth. You're just not going to bump into one, statistically. Now expand that into 3D space in an orbital zone above us.

It's not a collision risk.


It is already impossible - all the remaining Space Shuttles are in a museum, not to mention all Space Shuttle missions were (and were always intended to be) to Earth orbit. No Space Shuttle ever went past 600 km hight Earth orbit.


> wonder if there's a limit to space junk beyond which leaving the Earth in a space shuttle becomes impossible

There is. We don't have the industrial capacity, as a species, to do it.


Not to mention low orbit being self cleaning and higher orbits being exponentially more space. You can map the junk with radar & plot the launch to avoid it.


Works on Zen as well.


This world has enough for everyone's need but not enough for everyone's greed - Mahatma Gandhi


The hopeful/depressing thing is that it's not necessarily greed. Or at least, not only greed. It's easy to construct simple economic models that lead to the same outcome, even where all entities are equal in every way except their balance amount.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-inequality-ine...

I say "hopeful" because it suggests we can develop new arrangements that are an improvement on the old ones, without the tougher-problem of eliminating greed.


These sorts of quotes from Gandhi and other INC leaders would be more meaningful had the INC not embraced the economic system that kept a majority of Indians in destitute poverty for decades post independence. Meanwhile they castigated the system whose even partial adoption has managed to lift more indians from desperation.


For things like food and building materials for shelter, the world does produce enough for everyone with the willingness to give, only political dysfunction prevents the needy from receiving.


Its okay for people's wealth to increase as long as everyone else's is also increasing.

Zero sum game mindset is tiring.


If they tailwind, it sets a precedent for others. They can't pay everyone.


So you're saying that just because they can't pay everyone, they should pay no one?


Yeah I know how that sounds but it's the most logical explanation.


Alternatively, they don't have a viable business model?

This isn't rocket science. If your business can't exist within the law, it doesn't get to exist.


There’s no law that says you have to pay businesses because you make customers life easier.

If ChatGPT answers a law question for you that you’d have to ask an expensive lawyer, are they supposed to pay the lawyer too?


Tell Uber you said hi.
