Are you implying that the federal reserve bank of New York has an incentive to mislead? Did you examine the study methodology?


Yes, and it was completely crap.

Stopping at 2024 might be reasonable because you don't have data for 2025 and the current state of 2026, but it leaves a massive hole in AI affected time frames.

There was absolutely nothing there that could even imply that AI isn't the current problem for young unemployment. It's like saying that your data only goes up to 1700s, so therefore global climate change is probably more affected by the Boston Tea Party than industrialisation.


It is not by the federal reserve bank of New York

Also, they studied one company

So, yea, going to call BS. Most of their work is on the effect of remote work within a single company and they are tacking on AI as it is topical.


This article is solely overly wordy (probably ai) restatements of essentially just what vercel has publicly disclosed already


sad of state of all shorts of media lately


It is very amusing to read HN comments that complain about the "enshittification" of free platforms while simultaneously mocking those who would pay for stuff they like. YT is dollar for dollar the best digital subscription I pay for and I pay it gladly.


I don't think one should mock people who are paying for youtube. If they find it's good, then it's laudable to pay for it. But that said, I personally can't relate to that position. There just isn't any content on youtube that I find interesting enough that I would pay for it. It's a time waster for me, not something I seek out because it's a compelling way to spend my time.


Youtube has reached the terminal stage of enshittification:

• the good stuff is VHS-quality TV content that somebody pirated

• the ads, once nonexistent, are typically disreputable and now incessant

• the few 'creators' worth watching are lost in an ocean of audience-captured, brain-dead garbage "hey guys... [product placement disguised as organic content]... misinformation... remember to like and subscribe... [product placement disguised as organic content]"

• access becomes increasingly arcane due to ad-blocking measures

• one of the lowest quality comments sections - largely inorganic, rogue state-sponsored - on the internet

• increasingly just AI slop

The day I can't scrape videos via yt-dlp is last day I permit youtube domains on my network. Personally, I would prefer to eat a rotten cat carcass than pay a single cent to Youtube.

In a better world, youtube would be some kind of a protocol, not a mediocre company serving as a middleman.


Waymo remote operators cannot drive the car


how do you know ?


Physics. Have you ever played a competitive/reaction based video game with high ping? It is very, very hard. And it’s a game, where there are many tricks to hide latency from you.

Cloud console shows pings between Google data centers in us-west and ones that are in proximity of Philippines around 160-200ms. Then you also have inherent lag of wireless connection itself. Then you have also connectivity from google’s data center to Philippines.

If you want remote driving in uncontrolled environment, you reasonably can expect only the same city/county operators.

I’m obviously uninformed, but I’d expect the remote operators job (from another country) to be like “car is safe to proceed, based on that picture that I see” or, in the worst case scenario, put some waypoints in the ui and let car drive on its own.


Thankfully technology hasn't advanced since 2010!


Sure, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, but we haven't quite figured out how to exeed the speed of light just yet ;-)


It would be a certifiably insane model with the latency and failure modes involved, for a start.


A couple years ago I became obsessed with getting slime mold to grow on a cast 3-dimensional substrate. I finally got it working on an agar mold of Donald Trump's face, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/pxEN-YKDDVM.


Very nice, quite enjoyed that.


Most of it is not drone, but you have to think a bit about the angle and duration to realize this. Merry Christmas


Just wanted to thank you for the Sutro Tower work (https://vincentwoo.com/3d/sutro_tower/), it was truly beautiful and I’ve been looking at it so many times, very nostalgic for me. This one is great too!


I took the time to figure out where you took the shots from. You were not kidding about risk, especially for 201 Toland, Jesus Christ.


Matt do you guys still use the office in the US Bank Building in the mission?


We do! Would like to activate it more.


I ran a company that did price segmentation on SSO, and it's the other way around. The burden of supporting the buggy piece of crap that is SAML SSO is the cost of the privilege of being able to perform such sharp segmentation.


Except the segmentation isn't all that sharp. With Google domains et al almost everyone wants SSO now, even the smallest of companies.


It's not that small companies don't want it, it's that they're capable of not getting it. Larger companies aren't: one thing their SOC2 auditors will actually be able to evaluate is whether all their vendors do SSO.


People often say this about vr, but I think the truth is that consumers of adult videos are not motivated enough and the production costs outweigh the benefits. The demo scenes here were each captured on about 20 cameras, each carefully synchronized and rigged to be out of each other's lines of sight. Add the expertise and time to train the models (still more like pets than cattle) and we're getting into movie ticket territory and away from tube site


So, what you're saying that there's a a business opportunity not only on the software service side, but the logistic/equipment side as well!

> and rigged to be out of each other's lines of sight

I think there's a misunderstanding of the industry here, if you think the viewing audience will be concerned about some poorly disguised cameras at the edges of the scene.


The ones paying $20 for the viewing? I think so.
