   Great Potential

   Utreon is still in the Beta phase as of June of 2021. So comparing it to Vimeo is like comparing a pedigree puppy to a full blown show dog. Utreon's strength is in its potential.

   👍 Pros:    Potential|Video quality|Sense of community

   👎 Cons:    Lack of features at this early stage|Slow response time due to small staff.|Some bugginess still to be worked out

• How Transformers Work

  Distill was a new take at publishing research/ideas in deep learning in a visual way: https://distill.pub/ I love their articles and while it was hard to sustain, the quality of the ones in their are pretty good. They provide some tips and templates on how to develop such visual storytelling articles. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Reverse Engineer Hidden Algorithms

  Explainable AI is far from early stages. Read into anthropic ai’s work in mechanistic interpretability like toy models of superposition along with the rest of the transformer-circuits papers. Read chris olah’s distill papers. Read neel nanda’s recent work on reverse engineering how language models grok modular addition. Read kevin meng’s work on locating and editing facts inside of gpt. Read openai’s paper on... Source: 11 months ago

• Sharing a side project: Linear Algebra for Programmers

  I also wasn't aware of either The Pudding or distill.pub. So thanks for just mentioning those. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What's your favorite illustration in Computer Science?

  Anything from Setosa [0] is really good. It contains interactive, animated illustrations of several Machine Learning ideas. I _loved_ reading papers from Distill Pub [1] as they contained interactive diagrams. My most favorite one so far is the thread on Differentiable Self-organizing Systems [2]. I liked the lizard example very much as it is interactive, and lizards grow lost organs back. I think this is funny.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Utreon: Alternative Like Old YouTube

  I wrote an article on Medium on Utreon, a free-speech YouTube alternative that is currently in beta, but you can send a proper email to the people in charge to set up your channel on their platform. They can even sync your YouTube channel to the platform with your videos being copied over to their platform in case anything happens on YouTube. If you want to try it out, here is the url: https://utreon.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How about Vimeo?

  I've seen some movement (e.g Forgotten Weapons) towards Utreon, which combines patreon-style subscription with video hosting. Source: about 2 years ago

• Alternative to YouTube

  Now that the dislike button has been removed, for anyone thinking now is a good time to leave YouTube, there’s a platform called Ultreon with a user interface very similar to YouTube’s, especially from 2014-2016ish, with almost none of the restrictions. No ad support at this time but they are working on acquiring that and only need more users on their website Https://utreon.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• TikTok overtakes YouTube for average watch time in US and UK

  I think I found today what I am looking for. https://utreon.com/ looks to be a close contender to what I seek. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• YouTube ToS change rollout

  Utreon.com could be an option. One thing is, my ad blockers run so deep that if they are throwing ads willy-nilly onto videos I would likely not be able to tell, same as youtube. Source: almost 3 years ago
