> Simply upvoting posts (that don't break any rules) in quarantined subreddits does not get you punished.

The problem is that parenthetical, and determining it. Users were told that upvoting rule-breaking posts would risk a sitewide ban, without being told what content it was or what rules it broke.

Reddit says it gets to punish users by declaring any content "bad", by arbitrary or overly broad or even unspecified rules. That's the uproar.

This is not trying to improve behavior, this is trying to deplatform wrongthink.
CDC publishes inconsistent reports on number of tests conducted for Covid-19
What would the fallout be? The collapse of quarantined communities? The policy only applies to individuals that consistently upvote policy-breaking[1] content within quarantined communities which is pretty clearly qualified. Those individuals will also receive a warning(s?) prior to being banned. Seems like a pretty fair policy all around seeing that upvoting is a conscious choice.

My post was not intended to be a conspiracy theory. The point I'm trying to make is that rewriting comments (or reassigning moderation teams) is worse than straight out deleting or banning...because the potential that people can be misled is there.

That would be an interesting approach for another forum dedicated to that experiment. You could start a sub of your own with mods assigned to that purpose if you wished to. I would advise against forcibly converting an existing forum without experimental results, though.

The actual source is the Transparency report [0] from yesterday:

> When we expanded our quarantine policy, we created an appeals process for sanctioned communities. One of the goals was to “force subscribers to reconsider their behavior and incentivize moderators to make changes.” While the policy attempted to hold moderators more accountable for enforcing healthier rules and norms, it didn’t address the role that each member plays in the health of their community.

> Today, we’re making an update to address this gap: Users who consistently upvote policy-breaking content within quarantined communities will receive automated warnings, followed by further consequences like a temporary or permanent suspension. We hope this will encourage healthier behavior across these communities.

Seems like their justification matches my guess in the parent post.

In fairness to 23andme, they also don't share your data without your consent (
Individual Data Sharing Consent : https://www.23andme.com/about/individual-data-consent/ and population-based Research Consent: https://www.23andme.com/about/consent/).

No, it was mocking the Admins branding people the deemed undesirable. That went way over your head.
Working in 49 countries is not the job of the CDC. They have a duty to exactly 1 country. Cutting the workload should help them stay focused on that 1 country.

It really is crazy for a US government agency to be supporting 49 countries. I hope this isn't typical. Imagine all the other agencies doing likewise. The EPA can stop pollution in France, Botswana, Finland, and 45 other countries. The Department of Education can regulate schools in Russia, Spain, Argentina, and 45 other countries.

That's just messed up. It's treating them as colonies.
This seems very cool. I would recommend including an animated gif or link to a YouTube video showing the results of the simulation under a variety of settings/parameters. Also, this would probably get a lot more traction if it used web technologies WASM and webgl. Would be cool to combine this with an evolutionary algorithm similar to the Scriptbots project by Karpathy.

Worth pointing out that Reddit up/downvotes have been heavily monitored for as long as Reddit fought voting rings. At least ten years. Any "suspicious" account has its voting rights neutered: The arrows become placebo buttons. I've observed this with every Reddit account I've owned (another certain website does this).
It’s fascinating how universal “saving face” is.

We have 3 TVs, all driven by RasPis running LibreELEC, reading media files served off another RasPi file/web server.

I have another on my desk with environment sensors, for logging barometric pressure; it has an arduino mega living on it to drive switches and whatever else I find handy to drive on the desk. That system has become my linux host for doing things like grabbing disk images and other stuff I'd rather not tie my main computer down with.

I have thrown them down for temporary jobs like driving 3d printers and running webcams as needed. I set up a retroPi MAME emulator for my daughter, but let's face it PacMan doesn't compete with Minecraft so she never got much use of it.
I think in this meaning “pattern recognition” begins to mean semantic reasoning. Which begins to mean all thought, and so everything can be seen as pattern recognition.
I feel there is a useful difference from what I see as real pattern recognition (identifying a letter) vs understanding and utilising the meaning in the words.
While people have been using version control for decades it only became the norm for all projects since github became popular. 2010-13ish I would regularly meet senior/mid-level engineers that weren't familiar with Git. In companies that are not tech-first, it can be a battle to get developer tooling in place since its not a feature. Anecdotally, I worked at one place where the deploys were manual FTP file by file for a team of 12-15ish engineers. Automating deployments basically gave us back 1-2 engineers.
>It pushes added responsibility on the upvoters to think before they upvote, but perhaps that is a fair request to make of forum participants.

That's nice in theory, but there's no clear guidelines for what you're not allowed to upvote, and there's no transparency on anything, just user reports.

For example, this post[0] from someone who claims to have received a warning from the reddit admins for upvoting a post titled "Reminder that the police steam more money each year than burglars. Totaly normal country", linking to a screenshot of an article about law enforcement seizing $181,000 from someone. In the comments, OP posted a screenshot[1] of the message they claim was sent to them, which states "abusive content is not acceptable on Reddit, nor is engaging with it".

This content doesn't seem abusive to me, it seems like a totally standard reddit post. There is _far_ more abusive content on the front page regularly. How would I have known not to upvote that?

This is fearmongering. Tencent owns a small part of Reddit, has no board seat, and has no influence. They can’t “pull their money” so they would have no leverage to make threats.

And by the way do you know who is the majority owner of Tencent? Naspers, a South African media company.

In cases of aggressive trolling like those statements, I think it's sufficient to point out that they're obviously wrong and assume that people will then check Wikipedia before relying on them. That doesn't work if my contradiction gets flagged, however.

Thoughts on viability of photonic-driven AI-hardware?
thinking along the lines of sam altman's post on "hard startups", does anyone have thoughts on the viability of light-driven ai hardware? this tech seems to be really transformative for the AI industry (could put us back on the moore's law trajectory and help give AI/NN a boost in compute, which could accelerate development in the AI space).

Some companies include lightmatter, luminous computing, lightintellience, xanadu.

other chip companies include graphcore or wave computing.

intel seems to be buying lots of chip companies like nervana and most recenlty habana.

i'm curious what others think about the viability and EV of these type of startups

This is a failing on the CDC that reports to Trump. If you view this as a threat, this should be an easy problem for the US government to solve. The fact that it wasn't is the failing. And failure is on leadership.

> This is only for being a moderator. Simply upvoting posts (that don't break any rules) in quarantined subreddits does not get you punished.

That was a requirement given for being a new mod at /r/the_donald. There is also a separate, new rule change revealed in the recent "Transparency Report" that says that users who consistently upvote rule-breaking content will be banned.

> The whole point of a quarantine is exactly to push people to report bad content, and acts as a warning. This new change makes sense as far as pushing people to report said content and not keep promoting it.

That may be the case. On the other hand, that may only be the pretense. Every four years we see the same thing happen on Reddit. We saw massive upvoting of anything related to Obama, which at that time it was just thought to be organic (and maybe it even was).

Then in 2016 we saw massive Bernie Sanders support to a swift and sudden change to Hillary Clinton support. That was followed by the "Correct the Record" movement and then later "Share Blue." These were all coordinated efforts to inorganically promote one political party and suppress another.

But that wasn't enough to keep r/the_donald posts from regularly popping up on r/all. That's when they quarantined it. Now they're taking it even further.

Before, political minority users may not post out of fear of being downvoted or targeted by those searching through their post history, but they felt safe upvoting content they agreed with. But now, there is this implication that they could face repercussions for simply upvoting the wrong thing.

Sure, we're told it's only for things like illegal content or racial slurs, and only in quarantined subs. However, we'd be stupid not to see the political bias on Reddit. There's ambiguity over what counts as the wrong thing to upvote. They don't tell you what content you upvoted that you're being punished for. The net result? The "wrong" type of political content will be naturally suppressed by users now being reluctant to upvote it.

So what? Obviously, it is in poor taste and is a bad look but its just idiots on the internet trying to be edgy and generate outrage.

Knee-jerk reactions to shut them down are exactly what they want and feed off of. Trump himself does the same thing. He says and does things specifically to rile up journalists and the left to cause more chaos and entertain his followers. We should stop falling for it!

Off-topic, but is it really common to confuse the difference between UX and UI? (I think "love using MacOS" implies good UX, and doesn't imply a UX "disaster": maybe I'm wrong or I'm misreading the comment?).

Professionally, I can't see how I could ever use "UX" without being confusing, either because I'm using the concept poorly or because I'd expect my audience to misunderstand my meaning.

Disclaimer: I've spent years working on UI (even developing controls, caring deeply about usability) but I've never spent much time specifically working on UX.
I've worked with some big customers in the financial industry, and this is exactly what we do. Podman implements the same CLI as docker, so you can basically just `s/docker/podman/g` (as long as you don't use docker-compose).

It wasn't passive aggressive. And the issue was not a grammatical error, it was a logical error that I don't believe the governments in question would make.

I was pointing out that a conspiracy that will obviously collapse under its own weight as infections obviously increase is not a good conspiracy. (not to insult the theory, just the premise such a theory would describe).

Countries deliberately underreporting infections early on simply doesn't make sense except perhaps for China, before it spread beyond its borders, hoping to keep a lid on things.

Now that it's starting to spread in other countries, it's too late to pretend like it won't continue to get at least somewhat larger. Any numbers you falsify today will look bad tomorrow, clearly. Which is what China found out. Which is why I don't think such a conspiracy theory holds water.
That is true for IP rights of many pieces of fine artwork. If you look for Cloudgate in particular on getty images or similar you will only see editorial rights for sale because the artist kept licensing rights to their creation, even though it is in a public place.

Where Tufte (and others like him) is concerned, I try to remember the maxim Do not follow in the footsteps of the sages. Seek what they sought.

Slavishly reproducing his methodology ignores everything we've learned since then. On the other hand, for those new to the field, reading about his work and understanding what he was trying to accomplish with the tools available at the time can open our eyes to new ways of thinking.

(As an aside, this same maxim has also helped me with things like programming tools. We don't need to use Lisp or Smalltalk for everything, but we can learn a lot from these languages, and especially from what their creators and proponents were trying to achieve with them.)

That's an excellent point. I said "most literate programs aren't linear" in my comment... But I wasn't considering the low-effort linear style that many people actually use, so I'm probably wrong on that. :)

"Low-effort linear literate" is a useful style, but I think it falls quite short of what Knuth had in mind.

I don't think that's true. If the competitive edge is in the released code, then MS and Google would also be able to use that and contribute to it to if they also followed the terms. What you would really want is for all of these companies to follow the terms of the SSPL, not just one of them. But doing that would be very hard with the SSPL as it is now. It has a serious practical issue which was inserted on purpose in order to prevent adoption by those companies.

I disagree that open source needs more licenses that are deemed "business-viable". Open source is a development strategy for sharing code, it has nothing to do with any business model. This is why MIT- and BSD-licensed code is the cornerstone of all these startups, those licenses don't give a crap what your business model is and it would be really bad if they did. If you want to help the community, please make it your priority to think about things that are good for everyone, not just your business. If you want to know my take on the philosophy of this, it's more like "Take our stuff, build cool stuff with it. Literally copy it if you want, it doesn't matter because our business is strong enough to withstand it." You might think I'm favoring large companies here but being strong enough to withstand it isn't about having more money, it's about having enough to differentiate yourself in the marketplace. Any company can have that, and if you're taking outside funding you probably should have that before you even talk to investors. I hate that I have to keep saying this but open source is about sharing code with everyone including your competitors. If you do it right you get to use their code too and everyone makes tons of money. Banning them from using your code entirely will not help to accomplish this goal.

Well, before 2013 a lot of airports and railway stations had civilian security guards, and often no more than a dozen of them.

I once ended up mistaking one quite high up security establishment for an office building. It took me few minutes to realise where I am and get the fk out. Nevertheless, I haven't seen myself descended on by security.
