Not sure what the technical challenge here is either. I use an ad blocker and I assumed YouTube already counted my view, since the video can be found in my YouTube history.
I imagine watch history view tracking and view count view tracking and possibly even ad impression view tracking are three disconnected systems. Google is still going to update your history view even if it thinks you're a bot so you don't know you're being filtered out for example. The data to power that UI can also be partitioned by user while the ad and view count data needs to be aggregated performantly across large numbers of users in different slices. On the other hand your watch history doesn't keep multiple entries if you watch the same video multiple times in a day (say a music video on loop) but does want to charge for each ad impression seperately.
I think it has to with the audience, or a platform. A young farmer would probably pretend to know a lot and even talk to impress if you put an audience in front of them.
It depends on the browser you're using, Brave is obfuscating a lot of this info, for me using Brave on Android it shows 100% battery while my actual battery is 62%.
Hope so! It is great that it overall has a big impact on making knowledge more accessible (i.e Khan Academy using it to dub their content in minutes instead of weeks). But there are lots of other areas where it applies as well.
I think it might be 'e' for 'emacs' (there's precedent: eglot, eldoc, eshell, erc, emms) combined with 'ifrit', since "efrit" is a much less common spelling.
I am not a heavy user of Claude in any way, sometimes I go days without using it. And I've hit the limit a week ago. Now with the limit changing to per week, I am 100% canceling my subscription. I'll likely spend a max of $5 using an API key.
