Interesting choice of word; I wasn’t whinging, just trying to explain to the other commenter something useful. Flagging gives zero detail or nuance. Which presumably is why you replied instead of flagging my comment ;)

No, that'd be because your comment, for better or for worse, does not break guidelines, and because I frequently make the mistake of replying when I should have flagged as well. Regarding helpful explanations, I really don't think they'd be unaware that allowing JavaScript wholesale would cease their run-ins with JS-dependent things not working, or that they wouldn't know their configuration was uncommon (thus ~defin…

I recently left Google having worked on a number of projects with various YouTube teams. I think I can explain why it's being handled this way by YouTube. This is a fairly nuanced/involved issue, so the task of classifying the bug likely made it's way to one of the engineers responsible for the implementation of this feature. That engineer has already launched this project, and filed it away under their GRAD (perform…

Those are many words to say "no one feels an obligation to do the right thing".

You compared trains to YouTube videos, I cannot take _you_ seriously.

There is no data leak until a user clicks a suspicious link in the AI output. Clicking a suggested prompt alone does not have any risk of leaking data.

You haven't read the article.

What you mean? They're right. The content creator has to interact with Gemini to summarise the comments and only then a message would show which could contain a link, to the content creator.

The comment's author has no way of extract data from the content creator just by being leaving a comment. They content creator has click a link that the summarisation shown (likely removed by Youtube because it already doesn't allow clickable links in comments).

>my engineering licence would be revoked and I would be kicked out of the industry. This isn't because you're a "real" engineer, it's because of regulation and industry licensing around specific engineering disciplines that didn't exist until the start of the 20th century. Railroad engineers in the 1800's didn't have the same set of regulations to follow, or the same liability for mistakes. Software engineering could…

It’s because they’re a “real” professional.

Professionals (members of a profession) self-police, something software engineers don’t do.

> Honestly it’s hard to refute the fact that we need roads and houses more than we need cat videos. If the software made by my company ceased to exist, every government in the US, federal, state, and municipal, every construction company, plus most governments worldwide would be unable to build roads or houses until they were able to cobble together a replacement. The entire world runs on software. Software controls…

If the toilets at all those firms started operating in reverse, very little would get built. The conclusion is that plumbers are extremely important, not that plumbing is de facto engineering.

I don't think it is. It reads exactly the way I would write it myself.

Would you really write “Private video titles aren't just metadata”?

And write several subheadings starting with "The"? It adds up.

In the country where I live there are two university degrees: Computer Science (depends on Mathematics) and Information Engineering (depends on Engineering). I took the latter, where there is more maths (despite not depending from the Maths department), physics, electronic, automation. I now work with healthcare data: a highly regulated field. Can you please explain what is _not_ engineering, given this context?
