What’s wrong with veritasium?

The problem I have encountered is that some of the physics explanations are of dubious quality. A good example is the debate between Veratasium, Steve Mould, and ElectroBOOM about “whether electricity travels at the speed of light.” The Veratasium video comes across as pretty clickbait-y. That said, the combined narrative across these three channels was pretty interesting.

It's been bought up by venture capital and it's rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way with the changes by the new management.

What are the changes that are rubbing fans the wrong way? I feel like the latest videos have been interesting.

I still find them engaging and well made. It’s a bit more “corporate” but honestly the content remains as good

I was also afraid of that, but I actually really liked the recent videos.

Yeah actually I haven't been dissapointed with the quality of the new videos so far, I will hold my breath though as venture capitals priorities aren't always aligned long-term.

That was interesting almost like a weird little modern art gallery. I’m surprised that the BF16 one looks so bad…

Yet they have no problem flagging legit stuff. Back in 2019 I remember a pair of shorts (part of procedurally generated street ware fashion project) got flagged as offensive for some reason and my campaign got suspended. I reached out to Facebook and actually got a human and they unsuspended my account but the experience also made me stop buying ads from them.

Have they not discovered event based rendering yet? Something changed, render! Nothing has changed, don’t render anything and keep the previous frame.

Dude, back off the buzzkill on my vibe code, man. I told Claude what I wanted, and it works fine on my machine.

What kind of Karen are you that you expect me to check if it works for other people? I mean you have Claude, too, so fix it yourself. I've got more code to vibe and vibe to code. Later for you.

Note: this is dark sarcasm just in case somebody thinks I'm serious. The problem is that I'm not really laughing because I have heard very similar to this and had to be the one harshing both their vibes very much.

I’m sorry that you have to deal with that. I think if I ever get into a similar conversation I will just answer “but I don’t have Claude…”

I used Claude to help me with a function once and it added a memory leak, it wouldn’t have been noticeable to most people but I saw. I still write my own code and find LLMs frustrating because they almost get it right and it’s just more efficient for me to just write the code correctly instead of having an LLM write something that’s almost correct and me fixing it after the fact.

I can’t wait for all the future vibe coded projects to be exploited by the black hats waiting in the shadows for things to reach a critical state. I don’t believe in anthropic because they love to lie.

Maybe the biometric and photos of id and possibly selfies not being deleted properly?

Yes (later in the thread it seems to be the case, though xcancel makes threads even more confusing)

But more importantly, it's not being deleted from your phone. You know, your phone with all of your other photos

Yes it should be fixed, but this "all of nothing" approach to security is just counter-productive

I’ve been using PHP for over a decade and have never used FPM.

“Using a single language for both frontend and backend with (largely) the same availability of tooling and the ability to share code”

Is a negative I went backend world and front end world to be different because they do very very different things.

“But more than that... it's just less used? The PHP ecosystem is noticeably smaller and has way less happening.”

That’s not true, PHP is less resume driven development and actually about productivity. I’m really happy narcissist hate PHP and don’t burden it with their garbage and slopworks.

You can install ublock origin lite as an extension on Safari iOS ;)

So how is this supposed to convince me to give YouTube money directly or indirectly by buying a subscription and disabling my ad blocker? Stories like this reinforce my decision to never give YouTube a single cent.

The controls are very awkward on iOS safari. The thrust plus 3 direction buttons are on the top row and one direction button is on the bottom row.
