I meant from a user perspective. Sending images doesn’t work half of the time, the search is completely useless if you have tens of thousands of messages etc. I use it every day btw.

I really want to like it, but from a technical perspective, it just doesn’t work well tbh.

They’re testing a function where it quickly skips to a point most people skip to effectively skipping sponsors. At least I got that experiment.

That’s not really correct. While yes, ads don’t pay great, this is generally the case, and maintaining servers with these amounts of data is really expensive. And with YouTube premium, actually, YouTubers get paid quite well. You can take a look at the LTT finances video. They make more money from premium than from YouTube ads, even though only a small fraction has it.

In German, we have “Wenn Fliegen hinter Fliegen fliegen, fliegen Fliegen Fliegen nach”. Notice that all nouns are capitalized in German.

Every other year the EU tries to pass another mass surveillance law - and the EU court of human rights rules it illegal.

Pretty sure a court told them to.

Wtf? I had a very buggy experience. Maybe it was because I was playing it in multiplayer, but I had glitches every 20 minutes and it crashed like every other hour.

Maybe I just mixed up the fact that proper industrial use is vastly overestimated/overhyped with that there is little use. I will do some research.

I don’t think I was talking about this, interesting. Because in the video I mentioned she was fine with trans athletes competing together with cis athletes, which seemed very progressive to me. But I’m happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks for this productive discourse, not ad hominem at all. You’re welcome to criticize my views and I’m happy to learn. And I am doing my physics masters, so I think I am no complete idiot. But this is also not productive.

Edit: I’m focusing on cosmology, I’m not claiming to be a quantum computing expert. That was just my last state of knowledge and I’m always happy to learn.

Are you talking about her video on trans athletes? I don’t remember it being transphobic.

She might have strong opinions on particle physics and I do take them with a grain of salt, but I don’t see objectively wrong things in there.

I am a physicist and truly appreciate the effect of quantum computing on our simulations, but with “real world” I meant proper industrial use. And for that, there are hardly any algorithms known except Shor’s. When the CEO of Deutsche Bank says he will do his bank transactions on a quantum computer, you know the topic is over-hyped.

Edit: A video that explains this by a theoretical physicist working on the foundations of quantum mechanics

Currently, there is basically only one real world application we really know: Factoring numbers into prime factors. And we can’t know for sure whether there will be more even.

Watch everyone forget that correlation doesn’t equal causation when it confirms their biases.

Correction: It’s Sagittarius A*
