They probably sleep pretty well with the nice new comfy bed and pillows they are able to afford off of the channel.
I mean, 1.2M views for the whole channel is... almost nothing, in terms of $? Surely not enough to affore new comfy bed and pillows?

Trump will take up shop on Parler and be welcomed with open arms.
Parler is dead, aka banned by apple and google 1-2 hours ago.

I don't see why not. The United States is absolutely stuffed to the gills with explosive materials. Tannerite is basically everywhere, for example.
But how much can you acquire without triggering some FBI/police alarm? I honestly don't know, but I think it's harder now than in 1995.
Something does not add up here. Making RV full of explosives
and exploding it in a right place not a small feat. Oklahoma City Bombing, for example, took 8 month from start to final blast.
5G paranoids, IMHO, have attention span of a fly and, frankly speaking, just too dumb. I just don't see one of them executing such complex project, and avoiding FBI attention while doing it.

A weather balloon?
Maybe my mind playing tricks on me, but it seems to me this object is human-shaped with something attached on his back (jet-pack?)
Yeah - entire classes of problems went from unsolvable to solved. Some of that is in the consumer space and some of it is not.
I feel like an AGI could accidentally wipe out half of humanity and there would still be people commenting on HN about how the exact same technology already existed in a roomba seven years ago.
Honest question, no snark --- which consumer space problems were solved, if I don't play Go and don't have FB account to recognize me on a group photos (both of these two statements are true)?
"Crap" is a relative term; 41% (many years ago) was still a lot better than putting out an ad in the New York Times. FB ads aren't perfect, but IME they're a lot better than anything else — the only purchases I've made off ads in the last few years have been from targeted IG/FB ads, and quite a few friends have mentioned the same.
Sort of ironic how the Intercept is apparently capable of believing both that:
* FB is completely incompetent at targeting "to the point of being fraudulent," and can't hit the broad side of a barn with a targeted ad buy, and
* FB is filled with malicious targeting geniuses, whose ability to pinpoint target ads to anyone with incredible precision has made a mockery of democracy.
(Disclaimer: I recently left IG, although I didn't work on anything ads-related.)
How true. "Those evil Trump campaign staffers turned election in his favor using amazing evil micro-targeting FB techniques which are complete scam and do not work at all".
Pretty coherent point of view.
First, nobody is claiming that people were living in caves before ML. I understand you're exaggerating for effect -- but that's the same thing the parent comment is doing when they say something "wasn't possible" 5 years ago. They don't mean that it was literally impossible, they mean that it was sufficiently bad that a typical consumer would be unlikely to use it back then -- whereas now the quality has improved to the point where these things are ubiquitous.
Similarly, both Amazon [1] and online pizza ordering [2] existed before 1995. They were just not commonly used.

>they mean that it was uncommon for a typical consumer to experience it back then.
Siri from Apple was launched in 2011, as some other commenter noted below. Also, "On June 14, 2011, Google announced at its Inside Google Search event that it would start to roll out Voice Search on Google.com during the coming days".
If it does not count as 'typical consumer to experience it', well, I do not know what counts then.
9 years ago, I mind you, not 5. And I think that 5 years ago voice recognition was more-or-less good already. In 4 years both Apple and Google acquired large enough datasets to learn from, afer initial launch of their products in 2011.
What we are still struggling with is proccesing of fuzzy queries, something among the lines of 'Siri tell me which restaurant in my area serves the most delicious sushi according to yelp reviews and also allows takeout', but this is not a voice recognition problem (though typical consumer can think it is).
Yeah I played with dragon in 97 and it was awful - it didn’t work at all, completely unusable.
Today voice transcription is a solved problem and while their engine might be the same in name - I’d be surprised if the approach isn’t totally different than what they were doing in 97, either that or the LG tv voice transcription probably doesn’t work as well as everyone else’s.
The deep learning revolution and the applications we’ve seen since 2015 are a major step forward and something truly different. People pretending otherwise are just acting cynical in some attempt to project intelligence or seem wise, it doesn’t work.
Of course it was awful. It was 1997.
But you can't claim that something "wasn't possible 5 years" ago, if 7 years ago said feature was included in inexpensive consumer product (LG TV).
I'm not acting cynical, but it's tiresome for me to see people who claim that 20-30 years ago we all were living in a caves and catching bugs with wooden sticks, and now boom, ML!
Regarding "something truly different", well, my personal computing / mobile experience not changed that much from 2015. Honestly speaking, progress from 1995 to 2000 felt much more impressive and 'truly different'. I mean, think of it, during this timeframe we went from DOOM via V.34 modems to amazon.com and ordering pizza online.
What’s the evidence they misled customers? Internal documents?
