  • I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I'm actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.

  • Regarding resolution, I've been using my S21 Ultra at FHD quality (2400x1080) since I got it and it has a significantly large screen. I don't see a point in higher resolutions but I definitely appreciate higher refresh rates. Makes it feel smoother and more responsive.

  • I'm think it's implied that you can only take pull out one ball at random from behind a door.

  • I think the ball is at C3.

    Albert knows that Bernard doesn't know where it is exactly, that means the ball can't be in the first two rows, because if it was that would mean there's a chance for the ball to be in column 5 or 6, in which case Bernard would known right away where it is exactly (as those columns have only one ball). This means the ball must be in row C or D and column 1, 2, 3 or 4. We know Bernard was able to deduce the exact position of the ball from this information, which means it can't be column 1 (as there are 2 balls still remaining there). That means it must be in column 2, 3 or 4. We know Albert was able to deduce the exact position if the ball from this, and since row D has 2 balls still in play (collumn 2 and 4), meaning Albert wouldn't be able to guess which one it was, that means it's in row C, as row C has only one ball left in play.

    Now idk what the correct choice would be statistically. If I remember correctly, the Monty Hall problem states that there's 2/3 of a chance you'll get it correctly if you switch doors, but since a gold ball was pulled out from behind the first door (the ball at C3 is gold), I think that means there's a 2/3 chance of the first door (the one from which the ball was pulled out of) being the one with all gold balls (since it contains 2/3 of all gold balls). In that case I think the probabilities cancel out? Which means it doesn't increase your chances whether you switch or not.

  • Interesting that they seem to be using a consumer grade Snapdragon chip this time, typically they used weird chips ment for industry applications if I'm not mistaken. Wonder what sparked the change, did Qualcomm start supporting their chips for longer?

  • I mean Waymo is way better at their job than Tesla and are more responsible, but this rant makes them out to seem perfectly safe. Whilst they are miles safer than Tesla, they still struggle with edge cases and aren't perfect.

  • Idk man, I've seen hundreds of examples showcasing how they significantly reduce bot traffic. The point isn't to make it impossible for a bot to get past it, it's to make it so expensive per request that it's not worth it.

  • Yeah no I've never dual booted on these devices.

  • WhatsApp is officially getting ads

    Jump

  • Yes but my entire point is that it just isn't comparable because of the insane scales we're talking about. For example, WhatsApp has 2 billion monthly active users. Let's say Signal had the same number and let's say it costs them 0.5$ per user per year (probably an underestimate). That's 1 billion dollars in yearly expenses. Wikipedia, which is one of the most successful donation based companies to my knowledge, has a yearly income of only 180 million $. I just don't see there being enough donation capacity in the general population to sustain that high of a figure.

    GrapheneOS might be fine even with 2 bilion users with the same amount of funding as they have now, because their costs aren't tied to their userbase. But scaling Signal to the size we're talking about is an entirely different beast.

  • WhatsApp is officially getting ads

  • No, they don't have recurring costs that scale with their size. The whole original point of my argument was that Signal is fine now because its userbase is above averagely passionate about it and willing to donate, but if it were to become mainstream that would mean the percent of its users donating would go down whilst its cost would go up, in other words its costs would outscale its revenue. This doesn't apply to GaprheneOS as their costs don't scale with the number of users.

  • I mean comparing it to GrapheneOS doesn't make much sense, they don't have recurring costs.

  • WhatsApp is officially getting ads

    Jump

  • I mean, there are some who will be willing to do that, but the vast majority of average people won't pay for something if a free version exists (like WhatsApp)

    Edit: Ok I just Googled it and apparently their operational costs are less than 1$ per user per year which is far less than I expected. That's way more sustainable in that case, possibly even through just donations.

  • I see a lot of people saying it's time to switch to Signal, and I mean I agree in principle, it's my main messaging app, but I don't see how it can scale. It runs off of donations and the only reason it's still functioning is because the users that are there are above averagely passionate about it and willing to donate. If it became the defacto messaging app I fear that there is no way they would be capable of financing that level of traffic.

  • Because SMS is trash, most of Europe doesn't use iPhones and WhatsApp was one of the first messaging apps, so yeah.

  • That depends on the size of the economy and whether he uses his power responsibly. If he just sells as much gold as he needs then that won't cause much devaluation of it.
