They do when on cleaning mode. As a computer toucher, none of us like any of this poo poo, and it is not a good idea for all kinds of reasons, the first of which is that you absolutely cannot count on an appliance company (or a tech company!) to keep security updates coming for the life of the device.

Using the FSD costs $12000, which I take is just collateral for the inevitable damages (which Tesla might have to compensate after years in court).

I'm not sure that limiting viewability of new accounts is necessarily a bad thing. It depends on how they are apply this (knowing Google, probably extremely poorly). I'm torn. It could prevent people from posting stuff that is extremely important to spread (like cops murdering people) but it also prevents really evil poo poo like insane propaganda and creepy rear end child brainwashing cartoons

I would think so, but details have been pretty sparse so far, and I haven't seen anyone chiming in to say how they got this error trying to watch their Naruto fanart streamer or whatever.

The account that was doing the stream (Link, but really not that interesting) is just some random dude's personal channel with a bunch of videos from years ago with a few hundred views (and a couple with significantly more than that). I wouldn't be surprised if there are automated processes that flag a z-tier Youtube account suddenly running a stream with 1k+ concurrent viewers because I would assume that most of the time that happens, they are probably streaming the NBA playoffs or something.

Eh, they have had it forever, like you need 1000 followers to go live on mobile and a verified email to go live on desktop. New accounts basically start out a little restricted and you need to build up a little to use everything. Like you level up over a few days from can't post videos, to can post videos with restrictions to can just post videos. You also have a bunch of limits on interacting with videos initially. They also take exactly 24 hours to 'verify your account" when you request the livestream tab to activate that seems like the time delay is the point rather than a real verification.

It doesn't really seem too sinister. It mostly seems like a barrier to making 10,000 automated accounts a second to spam your rick and morty cryptocurrency all over youtube nonstop then use a bunch of other accounts to upvote it to the front page. Like it used to be a higher number of followers you needed to be able to live stream, they lowered it a ton so it takes less to stream but you get a little tiny streaming room for like 1000 people instead of the uncapped one that requires real audience that have engaged enough.

Find whoever at Tesla signed off on releasing the software (probably Elon), and inform them that they will face individual (not corporate) liability for any injuries or deaths resulting from Full-Self-Drive.

Watch a software update disabling FSD be released 14 minutes later.

dunno if this is the right thread to ask, but probably might be so here goes

one of the thing's that i've been fascinated by the most in tech is youtube's growth. not that it became ridiculously popular and continues to be to this day, but rather, specifically the growth its achieved on the technical side. according to a quick google search, 500 hours of youtube vids are uploaded every MINUTE, which leads to 720,000 hours per DAY.

now this may not have been as much of a big deal (though i would still argue it would be) back in the day when all YT was just SD and sub-SD content. but over the years we got HD, 4k and now even 8k content, each jump being a pretty massive linear jump. youtube also no longer limits videos to 10 min. parts like they did back in the old days either so people can now stream hours of content at a time in super high resolutions.

so my question is, how the hell is this sustainable? i'm honestly surprised YT has lasted as long as it did given the direction it's gone down. and that's just the technical side. it must be incredibly expensive to buy new servers and such to handle all this poo poo, so i don't even know how they're making profits.

or am i just completely off base and YT will handle things just fine?

Data storage is actually incredibly cheap compared to what it once was. And Google themselves are a cloud provider.
But even so youtube runs at a loss. Always has, possibly always will. But the data they get is so valuable to Google that they don't care.

On google's S3 equivalent data is only about 2 cents per GB per month at the most available tier. A video can get big, but only really gigabytes big. So like, $22,000 a month for a PB or 22 million a month for an exobyte aren't chump change but pretty much are for something the scale of google. Like I am sure storage costs matter a ton but as a core of their business it really isn't that much money.

isn't that just a function of financials? You can see all the datacenters google have and are building here, looks like they cost around $600m each to build and doubtless have some fairly large operating costs but they are used for all google services not just youtube. according to their latest earning report youtube ads brought in $8.633b last quarter alone and it doesn't look like that includes the premium stuff/superchat and so on, doesn't seem that unsustainable to me.
