The whole premise doesn't make much sense (to me) if the app doesn't have an inherent benefit over a website. Don't tell me that all the app first people would rather have a web wrapped app for every website they visit? Seems to be more of a "we can get more metrics out of app users than website users" thing so they intentionally break the mobile website to aggressively push an app. #LinkedIn #Facebook

It's O(1) with a correctness of O(0)

you absolutely missed the point

The replies here suggest that many of us have been on both sides and that Apple's behavior it's a great way to trade bug triaging time on the org side for a few frustrated reporters on the customer side. The problem is it frustrates the most diligent of bug reporters who put time into filing high quality issues resulting in overall lower bug submission quality.

A good compromise might be select high quality bugs or users with good rep and disable auto-closing for them. In the age of AI it shouldn't be too hard to correlate all those low quality duplicates and figure out what's worth keeping alive, no?

Not yet ;)

"We've got some great people, phenomenal people, up there in Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver... we're working with them on ideas for what it's gonna be like when I'm their President. Gonna be the best era ever in Canadian history. You're gonna see success like you wouldn't believe."

I don't know much about all this but skimming the article, I doubt that that the author has treated his acute TDS. I know this is a rather left leaning crowd but I can't believe that smart people like here all believe Trump leads a fascist regime.. Please enlighten me ar what makes this article so popular?

It's no longer 2014. It's time to move on, buddy.

...and just like parking tickets they shouldn't exist on govt property

"Result: 100% accuracy on integer arithmetic" - Could someone with low-level LLM expertise comment on that: Is that future-proof, or does it have to be re-asserted with every rebuild of the neural building blocks? Can it be proven to remain correct? I assume there's a low-temperature setting that keeps it from getting too creative.

The creative thinking behind this project is truly mind boggling.

I'm a freelance interim EM and I do it for the same reason the article explains: I genuinely enjoy it.

I love engineers and I love tech. I still code daily but I'm not the guy that delivers at the pace of some of the amazing engineers that I had the privilege to work with. I love putting others ahead of myself wherever I can and it's never cost me anything, so I'm not afraid to do it again. I love telling the engineers how what they do actually matters because they're too focused on the work to sometimes see why changing goals doesn't mean their work and efforts were wasted and I also love shielding them from the corporate mess upstairs (that I somewhat masochistically don't even dread being part of)...

So, yeah, I really love my job and if one of my guys (or gals) wants that too, the more of a joy it is to me to mentor them into that process.

I didn't know freelance interim em was a thing, interesting role.

Absolutely but I stop YouTube consumption if it's not through NewPipe, so a little productivity boost here and there is not too bad ;)

What’s the point of newpipe? You can block ads with ublock. You can block shorts with browser extensions. What other benefits does newpipe offer?

Play in background, including with screen off, and ability to download videos to watch on a plane.

"What other benefits does newpipe offer?"

The Javascript source code for Google's YouTube player and the YouTube website is obfuscated and/or minified

The Java or Kotlin source code for Newpipe is not

If one does not like something about Newpipe, one can change or remove it

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this: NewPipe is an Android app, and consuming YouTube on a mobile browser is a much worse experience.

You can, in both Firefox and Brave

Thanks, I've edited my post to be more accurate.

Newpipe doesn't clutter the screen with constant recommendations. You can just subscribe to the channels you want, get updates when they release a new video and that's it. It's a much more focused experience than regular Youtube.

The UX is much better. It has convenient gestures to change brightness, volume and speed during tte video. The speed can range from 0.1× to 5×, not just 0.25× to 2×. You can download videos or play them in the background.

Newpipe is more pleasant than YouTube on FF Android with uBlock in my opinion. I often search find a video on YouTube, copy the share link into Newpipe and watch there.

What do you mean by pleasant? Is this primarily something for Android users?

Some things I've not seen others mention: you can subscribe to channels, create playlists etc, all without needing a Google account

I think it's only for mobile, and you can only get it by side-loading as far as I know.

If you have a $100 phone then UI is lighter as compared to running firefox etc.

Leaner. No ads in layout. Better organized. Not cluttered by buttons nobody asked for.

It's a native Android app vs. a bloated multi MB web page. Of course NewPipe and PipePipe are better. :)

Personally, I use it for a chronological feed of my subscriptions. It takes less time to find something worth watching, and it is easier to move on to do something else if there isn't anything worth watching.

Bookmarking or downloading interesting videos is also handy, since they aren't mixed in with my general bookmarks (in a web browser).

Newpipe is a good youtube downloader for android. Works well for me with this pipeline: Youtube music -> newpipe -> music speed changer, so that I can slow down and pitch shift then song when using it to transcribe or learn a song.

It can run in the background. I use it to listen to videos before I fall asleep. Ads would mess up this hard and keeping the screen on would be unnecessary use of energy and OLED.

There's a mobile Firefox extension to do the same thing BTW.

That is the kind of habit I would want to break if I had it.

Falling asleep with a barely audible friendly human voice in the background instead of complete silence? Why would you prefer to avoid that?

Yes I would prefer having to be able to not rely on specific background noise. And it looks to me like most of sleep issues are the consequence of unhealthy habits (too mich screen time, too much blue light in the last hours of the day, too heavy dinners, or too close to bed time, not enough physical activities during the day, not enough sexual activities...) so I would rather treat the problem before the symptoms.

It also seems kind of potentially antisocial/annoying behavior if you share yoir bed with someone.

I don't have any problems with falling asleep without the voice. It's just pleasant. And I live alone. But I see why this might be habit forming for you and why you might want to avoid it. Overthinking something as simple and natural as falling asleep points to high neuroticism.

For me, the main benefit over the browser are the progress tracking and playlists. You can do both with bookmarks in the browser, but it's much less convenient.

Not needing a google account to view most of the videos? Being sble to download those you have interest to watch later offline (in a plane for instance)? Being able to subsribe to channels without a google account?

I was gonna tip the developer but it feels like losing now

Intentionally and knowingly tipping is winning, no?

Unless we start arguing that gratitude is a dark pattern.
