Good to know. As my posting history on Lemmy will show I definitely watch bread recipes videos. In fact I became a mod for c/cooking today.

You watch one ContraPoints video about Jordan B Peterson and the next thing you know … Still not any JBP video recommendations. So I guess there is an upside to the failure of big data.

Each day I go to the YouTube app on Roku to my subscriptions tab and watch whatever is new. Then I go to Recommend and it’s 90% or more previous videos from those same subscriptions and very little new creators it hasn’t showed me.

After almost a year of this it figured out last week I might like AronRa, a person I’m very familiar with. And after countless videos on anthropology, evolution and paleontology he should have come up so much sooner. So much for big data.

But what is completely lacking is a “show me completely random stuff, old, new, not in my algorithm, short, long, completely against my algorithm, etc.” it lacks almost any way to discover new stuff that isn’t 100% related to content you already have.

YouTube gets more uploads than any one person can possibly watch and yet it’s almost incapable of showing me something unless I explicitly tell it to find it for me.

Jokes on them. I don’t have phone conversations

I don’t have a tower to put the poppy drive in. I’d rather make sure that these end up in a good home.

These came out in 98 And 99 so odds are they paid retail

Also companies understand that to create a senior dev they need a junior dev they can train.

We live in a world where every company wants people that can hit the ground running, requires 5 years of experience for an entry level job on a language that’s only been out for three years. On the job training died long ago.

But the only way to learn debugging is to have experience coding. So if we let AI do the coding then all the entry level coding jobs go away and no one learns to debug.

This isn’t just a code thing. This is all kinds of professions. AI will kill the entry level which will prevent new people from getting experience which will have downstream effects throughout entire industries.

You expect me to remember 25 years ago?

If you recognize that then you were a slashdoter. Once a slashdoter always a slashdoter.

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these things.

We can live in both at the same time.

It’s weird living in a world where people are rescuing our past from the Ministry of Information sponsored Memory Hole.

Podcasts are almost exclusively mp3. There is no need for lossless fidelity on those. And when you are subscribed to 200 podcasts like I am a small file size matters. And when listening at 2.5x speed lossless is a complete waste.

I can’t wait to find out how toxic this is.
