Yeh, 34 got me as well.
Fuck x by dx with bounds or range or whatever. Integrate this! (And I want you to imagine I’m grabbing my balls)

“God will protect us. He has sent judgement on those unworthy” also contributes. Not directly eugenics, but damn fucking close

Anyone with more personal wealth than can be spent in a lifetime is exploiting humanity.

If you spend $1k per day to live, that’s $11m over 30 years.
Fuck it, spend $10k per day. Have a family of 5 each spend $10k per day, so $50k PER DAY (that’s probably an average salary).
That’s still less that $200m over 30 years.
Make it 60 years, thats $400m.

Anyone with more than $500m is exploiting humanity.

Remember to rewatch it, put it on in the background.
Time to restart YouTube’s algorithm to make the video spread!

The partying? That’s just humans united by a common (and good) cause, bonding and letting off some steam before they go into a perilous situation.

It’s harder to hide the sinking of a boat than it is to hide arresting people.
And activists have more boats than trucks, due to protests against drilling, fishing, wars. And I guess there are protections in international waters that don’t exist when travelling through different sovereign nations.

Yeh, but you only need 10 vibe code cleaner-uppers per vibe coder.
And a vibe coder is a 10x developer.
You just have to mitigate the increased cost of AI API calls.
It pretty much balances out, with the obvious 20% efficiency boost - which is where everyone makes their money: companies, developers and shovel AI platforms… All 20% efficiency boost. Which directly relates to profit boosts. 20% line goes up!
Which also pays for the datacenters, the shovels GPUs, the power, the cooling and the water for the cooling. It’s all cheaper, cause AI is at least 20% more productive.

Even if your vibe-coder-code-fixers turn into vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixers… That’s just another 20% efficiency boost. Basically printing money! Oh, but you need to buy more shovels GPUs. But that’s also a win because shovels GPUs don’t have unions or require holidays. Think of the profits! They work 24/7.
And all you need are vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-fixers.

…As long as your vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-fixers don’t turn into vibe-coder-code-vibe-fixer-code-vibe-fixers (I’m so lost, I think that’s right).

Edit: forgot some shovels

But if less people are watching the other big channels because the content quality has slipped, then there is less people spending less time on the platform, so less non-subscribers that might be recommended an LTT video.

Probably doesn’t help that a bunch of the decent channels were bought by private equity and are now churning out boring, safe and uninteresting content.

https://youtu.be/hJ-rRXWhElI (a yt link, lol).

A brief summary from https://www.dailydot.com/news/youtube-channel-private-equity/

Some channels like Donut Media, Veritasium, and Task and Purpose have been acquired publicly. Others, such as Dude Perfect and Coco Melon, have been acquired more privately, with no public disclosure.

Plenty others. A key giveaway is when a channel diverges their risk. When the front man who is the reason you have watched the channel suddenly has co-hosts and large segments from other channels in their regular content.

Steve and GamersNexus is a gem.
They’ve figured out what viewers want: honesty and transparency.

I would love some of those less exciting times.

May you live in exciting times

Is the worst curse

1st of Jan 1970 is the Unix Epoch, ie 0 seconds.

So, yeh… The funny sex number joke is there, but doesn’t work as a standalone joke. So, has to be 1st Jan 1970

Yes. I was laying on the sarcasm heavily.
I presume that’s what these oracle services provide.
Essentially hosts the us governments GDP NFT, so you can right click and download it just like every NFT crypto bro hates you doing.
Whether its actually the US Government hosting the file, or these oracle services hosting it… It doesn’t matter.

Why not just host the files on a government website with appropriate file hashes (so users can verify the file is still the same), let the internet archive and the national archives take a snapshots of the files and pages and hashes etc… ? That’s a well regarded site archival system, and the governmental archival system. Has redundancy, pedigree and public acceptance.
Fuck it, publish just the hash on some block chains so the “fingerprint” of the report is immutable. But call it what it is.

The report isn’t “published on the Blockchain”.
It is linked from some blockchains.
There is still a file hosted by some servers.
You can’t download your favourite blockchain, take it to the top of Mount Rushmore with no internet and inspect the US GDP figures without first downloading the file linked in the block chain.

Blockchain oracles are entities that connect blockchains to external systems, allowing smart contracts to execute depending on real-world inputs and outputs. Oracles give the Web 3.0 ecosystem a method to connect to existing legacy systems, data sources and advanced calculations.

So, being born on 1st January 1970 won’t work anymore?
What if I’ve had my steam account for more than 18 years?

OSA is a pile of shit

Yay, decentralised and immutable!

Data integrity at source: If the BEA’s initial data is wrong (as sometimes happens with revisions), blockchain only makes the error permanent until corrected with new updates

Oh, so… Like previously just publishing a pdf on a website, then.
I guess it means they can’t hide revisions. Which is what archive.org (and the us government equivalent that archives government sites) provided when the government just published the pdf.

At least it’s decentralised!

Over-reliance on oracles: Chainlink and Pyth are powerful, but their centrality creates new concentration risks. If they malfunction or face attacks, critical data feeds could be disrupted.

Gotcha, still has centralised services.

Quotes taken from https://www.ccn.com/education/crypto/gdp-on-blockchain-us-government-data-bitcoin-ethereum-other-networks/ which seems to have the best technical info I could find

Still not much information. I’m presuming an “oracle” is something that gives you a hash of the “immutable” data, so you only have to pay to get that hash recorded on a blockchain instead of however many kB of PDF.

Imagine the debuff that blueballs would inflict because you missed the quicktime event

Yeh, exactly.
It’s a private company.
It’s a huge platform, but YouTube can choose what YouTube is.

The only way any change happens is if YouTube gets raked over the coals by enough content producers (that they could collectively start their own platform) by media and potentially by governments (recognising them as some sort of critical communications or something and implementing regulations?).
Or if all the YouTube viewers decide they have had enough and go elsewhere (where, tho? Kinda goes hand-in-hand with creators starting their own platform).

So the pressure needs to keep building, YouTube needs to keep doing shitty things. Eventually… Hopefully?.. Something changes: YouTube gets better, a new platform is born.

Oh, gotcha.
I’m pretty sure they have a patreon.
They ran a Kickstarter to fund the production of this specific 3h episode, and all levels of backers got a USB key with a copy of the video on it.

The issue isn’t it being deleted. It won’t disappear.

The issue is the contents potentially not reaching as many new viewers unaware of Nvidias shady behaviour and how the black market of GPUs actual works because Bloomberg (who have sponsorship from Nvidia) DMCAd the video.
Either because their articles were used as a source and the text of those articles were shown on screen (potentially reducing views those articles would have received if they were linked? Or something? No idea how you would provide a snapshot of the information as it was at the time of publishing the video, tho. Cause the article could be edited after GNs video was published, making any soft references meaningless).
Or because they used some of Bloombergs video of POTUS, which (in my understanding) cannot be copyrighted.

So to me, it seems like GNs video was frivolously DMCAd to reduce its impact on Nvidia.
The impact of that DMCA is that: as it was starting to trend it gets taken offline for ~10 days. After which, YouTube’s algorithm will be unlikely to promote it via its algorithm because it hasn’t had any new views for 10 days.
Effectively killing the video.
Gamers Nexus gets a “strike” against their channel (of which they get 3).
Bloomberg has 0 repercussions.

Unless we all kick up enough fuss to cause some repercussions, and support GN enough to get the exposé trending again.

What about liquid particles in the flatulence phase-changing and lowering the temperature? (Like how an evaporative swamp cooler works)

A bunch of other YouTubers are reuploading it in protest.
So, you can watch it on one of the reuploads.
Just make sure you watch it again on Gamers Nexus when it comes back, help them jump re-start it on the algorithm so it gets the views it deserves.

Thankfully the Streisand effect will take care of the publicity.

There is no good answer to it.

It is ridiculous that a channel which uploads thousands of authentic original content can lose all algorithm momentum from a frivolous DMCA strike removing their video for 10 days.
It basically guarantees a video gets killed. Even if the video gets reinstated after an appeal.

This particular video will massively bounce back. People are angry at Nvidia, people are angry with YouTube and with YouTubes DMCA process, and now people are angry at Bloomberg.
And Gamers Nexus isn’t gonna let this drop, and GN has earned its communities trust (and I think trust in general) that there will be flocks of people ensuring the video doesn’t die.

But if this was a smaller channel releasing a massive expose like this, it would probably just drop out off the public’s radar before it gets established
