Genuine question: would right to left language based interfaces have different type of movements and thus training data than left to right language ones?

I often comment on videos but never do I check replies to my comments there.

I went to see if I had any replies to a comment I left on a video for the first time today and it's really hidden to get back to them if you don't remember the exact video. I wonder if it's purposeful friction or just not a priority.

And now try to find the comment someone replied to

I agree. I wonder how people are motivated to comment if they can't even track replies or check likes. It certainly completely kills motivation for me

Do you and GP not get notifications for replies and (at least some) likes?

In my case I have almost all notifications disabled so maybe there's an option somewhere. Generally find those notification badges too powerful for me to not check and then get waylaid doom scrolling/watching, so I've made it a habit to always disable them everywhere.

Somewhat tempted to re-enable it as I only really comment on videos that are for very very niche communities and I'm usually answering or asking questions.


I get the notifications but it’s sometimes hard to know for which comment if it’s more than one in a discussion.

I don't think I get notified but maybe it's because my replies are unpopular

Oh, fair enough. That is indeed not shown anywhere it seems.

And so many comments may aswell be bots.

>anyone here in CURRENTYEAR

>This is scene is so [adjective]

Not exactly a forum, more like a concert crowd


"Who's here from Hacker News??"

I tried to one time, but I couldn't even figure it out so I gave up.

how do you resist the urge to click on the red notification icon?

It is. Feel like this could have easily be made more reliable by simply requiring all photos to be verified instead of just one OR at the very least, showing the verified picture as the first one with a note that only that photo was used for verification. They seemed to have gone with the most sloppy method.

I think that's for apps like Netflix or other movie streaming apps being recorded for piracy?

Yes, or a video editing app that wants you to buy it.

I'm not _entirely_ upset Apple is encouraging the market to develop high-quality solutions by allowing them to protect their revenue.

But it felt bad as if they were reaching into my Mac.

My iPhone is Apple’s playground. They let me use it. But I own my Mac, and if my eyes see something on the screen it feels dumb to send Tim Apple and Reed Hastings into my homeoffice telling me “no no get a capture card(?) or set up a DSLR to record your screen. But no direct recording big guy!”


As if day 0 rippers needed this sort of mucking around to rip their stuff.

Isn't the problem of poisoning caused by Methanol and not Ethanol?

Gemini says this:

"Ethanol is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, spirits) meant for consumption. While ethanol is safe for moderate consumption, methanol is extremely toxic and can cause poisoning, blindness, or death, even in small amounts."


I was replying to the statement that "alcohol is always poisonous". It isn't.

To me, OP seems like someone who's deliberately trying to become the villain because he's seen the social network movie too much and is fantasizing that he'll gain the same wealth and fame as Zuckerberg by being the villain. Except here, he started crying when the consequences of being the villain caught up to him.

OP needs to realize that we are no longer in 2005 when the Facebook was founded. Nor is he in the US. He's in India which has much different laws and culture. And case law and our understanding of the harms of cyber bullying and harassment has drastically evolved since 2005.

OP should also realize that this is at IIT in India. There's already a huge suicide problem amongst students in India due to competition. Adding cyber harassment to that isn't the best idea.


What's a "tea" situation?


I think they are talking about the popular app that also creates profiles of people without their consent and allows publicly defamating them.

Situations where gossip is the goal, not happenstance (https://cassettesofradhika.medium.com/spill-the-चाय-aabbc2cb...) - somebody feel free to correct me there if I'm mis-explaining it


I am actually pretty surprised how bad the writing is in the article. As far as I know, IIT is one of the most prestigious universities in India.


Also his general reactions and overall maturity seem very poorly developed. I might expect that response from a thirteen year old, but a university student?

Really sounds like an arrogant rich kid who has had a lifetime of getting whatever he wants.


I do get whatever i want in life. But thats not cos im a rich kid (im not), its cos i work really hard and have conviction. And i will continue getting everything i want in life for the same reason. Try it out


You might be confusing "conviction" with sociopathy


How is the writing bad


> this is that story.

This sentence is missing capitalization.

> For egs

Egs is not a word. I assume you mean example? Or if you want to abbreviate it, use "e.g.".

> Back to the story, at 1 am, I launched the site, and just told 4 of my friends. that's it.

That's not how you're supposed to use commas. First one should probably be a period or semicolon. Second one is unnecessary. Third one is defensible, but you're connecting two independent clauses; I think it's better as two sentences. Failing that it's better without the comma.

> lmao as you can see

I wouldn't include "lmao" in any serious piece of writing attached to my professional identity.

> I told them, "no i wont",

This is missing an apostrophe and capitalization.

The list goes on, and on, and on, and on.

Stylistic concerns aside, this reads like you're telling a story to a friend. It's very 'stream of thought'. You don't give much commentary. You don't reflect on what you or others did right or wrong. You don't seem to have actually learned anything from this experience. Better writing would include reflection and show that you have put some actual thought into this incident beyond knee-jerking 'I did nothing wrong I shouldn't have been punished this isn't fair'.


Yep down for me here in Canada


That's the very first thing which came to my mind too. I thought "wow, they really did copy Reddit design which I hate".


I don't care about the visuals of Reddit, but copying the design of "this is a site for commenting, answers are just top-level comments with no distinction" seemed like they did not see the difference between Stack Overflow and a subreddit.
