  • It became downright personal for me. Its about accessibility.

    My brain works a certain non typical way which is challenging to live with at best.

    Sudden advertisements hits me like a physical punch in my face.

    The ui focus on everything new rather then a nice subscription view with filters meant i who does not watch daily would frequently miss new uploads from the channels i do like.

    I felt like i was in a toxic relationship being pushed to watch on their terms while openly hating that i protect myself from ad-sault by using blockers.

    I realize i did not need things to be this way and am smart enough to build and alternative.

    Now i have a yt-dlp script downloaded the latest uploads from chosen channels straight to jellyfin and also a selfhosted invidious with custom tweaks for everything i dont want to spend storage space on.

    Basicly i take 100% of what i liked and never have to visit the website directly again.

    They are waging war on invidious, it breaks on occasion. Yt-dlp though, stable as a rock.


  • I may have heard a similar thing on a video that compared an elephant sized mouse with a mouse sized elephant.

    Neither could survive because evolution designed their bodies for the relative pressure they exist in. This is also related to how fast their hearth beats go.

    Human sized bugs could not exist for the same pressure reason also.

    “Caused” was not a good term but like i said i made that comment half jokingly

    I find that almost everything can be boiled down to just be a display of quantum mechanics which is why id place it as more fundamental.

    I cant really say that about gravity/spacetime though. Maybe someday we do find that it also is but for now it seems to be distinct.

    Thanks for a well written reply.

    Though i still dont quite get this

    the electromagnetic force itself doesn’t “arise” from quantum mechanics, and you can explain things like electromagnets and a lot of common electric circuits (until you need a transistor) quite well without considering quantum mechanics.

    You seem to say if we can explain x without y then y cannot be fundamental to x.

    But can electromagnetism at all emerge if the quantum mechanics dont exist to emerge things like magnetism and some of the behavior of electrons?

    Maybe i am wording it wrong. I did make the comment half joking but my current understanding of how magnetism really works, which my physics teacher was unable to answer has a chapter on wikipedia called Quantum-mechanical origin of magnetism

    I have no degrees in this stuff though, i just think about them recreationally.

    The carrier particle thing to describe a fundamental force is new to me, and honestly feels very counterintuitive to how i started to understand things.

    Gravity is a fundamental force just like electromagnetism (supposedly)

    Fundamental means it cannot be explained by being caused by something else.

    But then they say gravity is an effect caused by spacetime curvature and electromagnetism is caused by quantum phenomena.

    What is the cause for spacetime or quantummechanics? Idk but somehow they don’t make it on the list of fundamental forces.

    Classical science, for all the good it did and does, is an unironic joke and if aliens knew about it they’d be laughing at us.




  • Based on the headline this is not about blocking ai scrappers but by making them pay to do it.

    Based on the discussion below which moved that goalpost the most likely answer is by making it cheaper to scrape “legally” then it costs to mimic millions of individual residential browsers with human users.

    I don’t know how many aces cloudflare has up its sleep to detect secret ai but they definitely have the tools to make it pretty costly and difficult. There is also a broadband impact difference between a few capitalist megapigs scrapping secretly versus loads of global basement dwellers and smaller companies scrapping worry free.


  • You would not believe the cosmic timing of how i find myself while reading this.

    Id definitly label it sensory unpleasant but i would argue it cannot be compared.

    The experience of both is one all humans will experience many times starting from childhood. Its a bad thing but its one you know, The experience is predictable and often the same as other times.

    The experience of food is much more diverse and thus unpredictable. We all have experienced eating a “trusted” dish made somewhere else to find ourselves betrayed by “different brand”, “extra ingredient” or “chopped in unusual sizes”

    Hyperbole aside (autistic adults may learn to get used to some of those suprises or mask their way trough), the exact sensory experiences are unique to each individual and many autistic people will chase certain stimulation as well as avoid it.

    Some i know are:

    Walking barefoot, Roller coasters, Storm chasing, And for me, somewhat ironically, some forms of fine dining.
