Another once upon a lifetime problem on big plataforms…
How odd is this became more and more frequent since corporations did massive layoffs and start to use IA
Yes.
But I heard that in just a few billion more dollars the AI will be better than veteran humans at site reliability engineering, in spite of l the evidence, and the laws of physics.
I really liked having an Internet where some stuff worked.
But I’m glad to be here, where we’re building our own Internet, with blackjack and hookers.
For-profit cororate tech: Goes down all the time and horifically inefficient despite having trillions to throw at R&D
Some random critical infrastructure open source project with three maintainers basically working for free: The most goddamn robust and optimized code to ever touch your silicon.
The difference is passion. Big tech has soul-crushed, overworked, 9-to-5-ers who just want to do the time in their cubicle and go home. There are some passionate people there, but they are scarce and growing scarcer. The open source project has passionate people who just want to deliver the best product they can.
I do have issues with YouTube, but downtime isn’t one of them.
The problems with YT will cease when it doesn’t come back up.
My largest issue right now is that you cannot order search results by date anymore.
That’s weird. Relevance and Popularity are the only sorting options on mobile in the official app. How not useful or specific at all.
Google decided we need to be fed more algorithm crap instead of actually useful (i.e. most recent) results.
