YouTube has A/B testing features that allow videos to have multiple titles and/or thumbnails.

Right. So I thought it would be helpful to share the more-descriptive title that I got.

This is what I use DeArrow for, crowdsourced titles and thumbnails (from the maker of SponsorBlock): https://github.com/ajayyy/DeArrow

I'm sorry, what? Can people now see different titles? Insanity, if true.

It has been that way for a while now. I see Veritasium video titles and thumbnails change quite often, it can be quite annoying as it sometimes gives the appearance of it being a whole new video.

A/B testing a title feels wrong to me, its almost as bad as A/B testing a UUID. Just pick a title and stick to it unless you need to fix a factual error.


Titles and thumbnails have a huge impact on video performance, and when it's your main income it seems reasonable to try to marginalise the impact.

Right, but then there's this thing called "shared reality" and once you break it, all kinds of bad consequences happen.

This is even worse, as it also breaks temporal continuity for individual reality. E.g. I expect that if I saw a video titled X today, I'll be able to find it under title X tomorrow, and if I can't, it's one of the rare/marginal cases when it got banned/deleted/retitled, or I just misremembered. Titles becoming unstable in the general case is a bad situation.


Gaslighting is now a government policy

And video performance = ad revenue.

Oh yes. Some channels cycle through many different ones as they test them. Veritasium is notorious for this.

it seems to me like the acceptance of breaking changes by the Zig community is more coming from "it's worth it to get a nice, polished language" than some "source of pride" which i personally have not seen in my time in a/the Zig discord server.

what is the problem with zig being developed for 10+ years? if people want stable languages there are stable languages to be used. if a language like zig is not achievable in less than 10 years, should it just not be developed from the start?

i think your problems with build.zig are overstated. where do you see someone saying "to build your first Hello World, first understand this build script in non-trivial Zig"? you can literally just do `zig run file.zig`, so if someone is advocating for that then i think many would agree they are teaching the wrong way. i wonder if you saw an example project with a build script that was intended to show the power and possibilities of Zig rather than to be a starter guide.


files aren't converted to structs on import, they _are_ structs (well, their contents are the inside of a struct declaration). also, public members don't become comptime fields? file structs are basically left as-is on import, nearly like you copy&pasted the file contents into a struct declaration


Wordle now credits an "Editor" for each day, so I guess that person is the one who hand-picks the word for that day?


you have to go into your Privacy & Security settings and scroll down until you see something like "Posturr.app was blocked to protect your Mac." and then press "Open Anyway"


Ohhh... Thank you!

Is this new? In previous version I could just right-click and it would open it.


Looks like this changed for Sequoia: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh40616/15.0/...

And looks like Sonoma was the last version to support the right click menu: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh40616/14.0/...


Andrew Kelley has said relatively recently that there are no plans to introduce a Zig ABI: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/3786#issuecomment-2646...


What's interesting is that the scope of the proposal isn't a Zig-specific ABI, but a codified way of expressing certain Zig concepts using the existing C ABI.

That could be an interesting middle ground.


Yeah the new translate-c package already kind of does that.


unhelpful and untrue


why are people so obsessed with restricting details/accordion elements to only one open at a time? let me open what I want to


you can discard with `_ = returningFn();`


if your immediate thought is "how can ai be added to this?" i think you might be part of the joke


These are clearly AI generated, not sure what you mean by "adding" to it.
