The new site is designed for actual children and it's mostly worked.

Generally as social networks age they skew older with the velocity of people leaving > velocity of people coming in = slow death by attrition.

Take AOL or when Yahoo had social features for example. The step before death was their transformation to online senior centers. Facebook is on that path right now.

Reddit has bucked that trend and is continually skewing younger. Teen related subs are some of the most popular on the site.

I also find the site terrible but I've never played roblox or minecraft either - the site is no longer for me, I'm too old for it.

But really congratulations to them for having an almost 20 year old social network that still gets avalanches of highschool kids coming in.

Deprecating the legacy interfaces will get us old people off the site and it'll probably help them - a teen party probably works better without some 35 year olds who are in the corner only because they've stuck around for 17 years.

And honestly we've all get better shit to do these days.
How would your auto moderation detect that example is malicious?
absolutely terrible what these internet trolls did

but this is also why no one in their right mind makes a public declaration of a family tragedy on a service like Twitter
If it goes through, they'll just use Instagram Stories and Reels instead. Possibly also Snapchat.
Chronic pain: the long road to discovery
I was on the digg to reddit move, and hn has replaced reddit for me now. I still enjoy the compact views with longer, more thoughtful posts. I worry about when more reddit-type content hits this site and maybe new management changes the styling.
Such issues is why ZFS has optional normalisation support, and serving files to Macs (or generally cross platform) was always one of the major examples of its use
This is kinda on Brita. Their filters should definitely change color with water contact. Preferably, the more water has touched the filter, the more intense the color.
Yeah, and that doesn't even do the nutty IO on these things justice.

A 16x CS2 cluster like they describe is like a huge Nvidia cluster in terms of throughput, but more like a single Nvidia node structurally.
Everything I have seen about "pure functional" programming has cared more about ideology than practicality.
I see this as a win for the AI community. The key for LLMs is to enable people to train collaboratively and innovate more quickly in this space. Are there any examples or demos available that showcase the capabilities of "lit-llama"?
> An AI merely needs to be hooked up to enough physical systems

Don’t even need this. People spend quite a lot of time in virtual space. Pretending that damage there isn’t real is overlooking things. For example, the vast majority of people’s banking is done virtually and digitally. If I drain your bank account, that’s going to harm you even though I haven’t impacted you physically as I would have to with a robbery.
I'm trying to make the term AGC or "Artificial General Competence" stick. Perhaps this makes me a huge arrogant asshole, but I would argue that most humans are not even competent, let alone intelligent. GPT-4, in my mind, has already surpassed the bulk of humanity in terms of competence. This milestone is (IMO) significant enough to blow up society.
I'm using Firefox on a mid-range Android phone and it seems to behave fine. Maybe reboot your computer and see if the site is less laggy?
The laws regarding spam are not the definition of "spam". Rather, the laws describe a subset of spam that can be clearly and definitively identified as "spam". It does not include cases that are just barely within a grey area, but which any reasonable person would label as "spam".

The law follows the existing understanding of what constitutes spam, just as it does for "murder", "theft", and a myriad of other cases. The law does not define these terms, only how they will be applied within the context of the legal system.
Yes, I’ll join you in pouring one out for Rdio. I listened to, and paid for, Rdio every day for years until Spotify killed it. Rdio allowed users to fulfill simple goals — find music you know and listen to it; find new music and listen to it. The paths to those goals were simple and clear.

Turns out it’s hard to make money that way. Thus why, I suppose, Spotify is a cornucopia of manipulative dark patterns.
Impossible to comment without you providing specifics of the things that founders do that are so obviously wrong.

You're also giving way, WAY, WAAAY too much credit to "experts".

Two prominent counter-examples: AirBnB and SpaceX.

If AirBnB founders asked anyone involved in hotel industry, they would tell them it'll surely fail. The laws, the liability (what if someone trashes the place?), who will want to sleep in stranger's bed? who will allow strangers to sleep in their bed?

And yet AirBnB is amazingly successful.

Not because those were not valid concerns but because they were overblown.

Same with SpaceX: it was ridiculed on principle (what does internet guy know about rockets?) and it was ridiculed for their methodology (fail fast, iterate quickly, blow up rockets to learn from failures).

Armstrong, the guy who landed on the moon, testified before Congress telling them to not award SpaceX any contracts because they will surely fail.

Doesn't get more "expert" or more wrong than that.

Also, framing "fake it until you make it" as "manipulative" suggests that you're coming at this with some chip on the shoulder. The nature of learning is that first you don't know and then you know.

If only experts could do stuff then there would be no experts. Even Einstein didn't know physics.
It's all fun and games until the poor start building guillotines.

That's what happens when you push people too far.
I actually see this as a positive thing. Rather than one bad actor hooking an AI up to a headless browser at some point in the future we are trying everything that could possibly go wrong long before the AI can do much real damage (in a technical sense, as opposed to misinformation campaigns and job replacement etc).
It's all the same, just that the density of the fluid the vehicle is traveling in changes.
it seems targeting desktop browsers, not optimized for mobile. On desktop, it shows multi columns, like TweetDeck or Mastodon advanced web ui
EU and USA have their spats, but overall they share relatively similar values and have similar interests in maintaining the general status quo. Both are content enough with their position in the world to not go around fighting over territory.

Lately they're also putting an effort into getting along well because any significant disagreement might bleed into the Ukraine war in some manner.
It’s fairly easy to demonstrate this if you have a friend with a bicycle. Have someone on a bike stay still and hold the brakes, and press firmly on their back. It’s easy. Then have them bike at a slow jogging pace, run along with them, and try to apply the same force on their back. It will be hard work.
On Android I have installed RedReader, don't recall if it's in the Android store or from the F-Droid one. Until they kill their API...
What do you mean? In the US where Apple Card is offered, the 2% back for Apple Pay transactions seems sustainable. The only thing that has put GS into question is [0], but that's just overlending likely at the request of Apple to get Apple Card in more hands.

my daughter uses it to explain homework problems. Google search routinely fails for this. Chatgpt gives her the answer, but explains in detail how it got the answer.

marketing team is using it to create baselines for articles/blog posts.

you can do a search for "product manager chatgpt prompts"

my controller is using it to look up finance stuff including answers to questions about tax law. They will then follow up by looking up the first source articles to verify, but chat gpt can give correct answers.

HR is doing the same thing

when I run into problems trying to figure out how to do something in an application chatgpt works better than web searches, watching stupid videos, and especially the built in help for the application etc.
I always assumed it was the data egress that was so expensive.

So why hasn't someone made an image hosting site that uses Cloudflare R2?
> Almost all AGI doomsayers assume AGI will have agency

I disagree. Concern about the use of AI without agency by its human masters as a tool of both intentional and incidental repression and unjust discrimination resulting in a durable dystopia is far more common an “AI doom” concern than any involving agency.

In fact, the disproportionately wealthy and invested in AI crowd pushing agency-based doom scenarios that the media pays the most attention to are using their visibility and economic clout to distract from the non-agency-dependent AI doom concerns, and to justify narrow control and opacity which makes the non-agency-based doom scenarios (which they are positioned to benefit from) more likely.
Red Hat deprecated that exam a couple years ago, and the content it tested for (provisioning servers of various kinds and security) simply got scrapped completely.

I attempted that exam right before it was to disappear permanently, on RHEL 7.4, but did not pass unfortunately.
They can, as can everyone else, just in different quantities. But you have a very low opinion of people who aren't you in assuming that everyone but you is going to be brainwashed if you can't decide what they are and are not allowed to be exposed to.
The USA does this in secret? That does not seem plausible. Think of the coordination required.
Well, jurisdictions are starting to ban gas stoves, so indoor cooking with fire might eventually become a thing of the past.
The app's size is 25mb,seems a bit much for minimalist app. what did you use to build it.
I'm starting side hustles, making investments, reducing my living expenses and casually applying to jobs. If any of my side hustles start making $1000 a month I'm quitting the industry for the foreseeable future.
Seems like this would hurt vendors making legitimate changes more than fraudulent vendors.
Yup, but I think the website sucks because it's built to cater to their terrible app. Funny thing is half a dozen independent app makers have done it better. Hopefully Reddit doesn't try to block them at some point.
I'm sorry. I think you don't get it. They fired employees, not managers. /s

Those firms are in the long run, condemned.

For me the move seems strange because a lot of companies in EU are expanding in India and are hiring a lot of indians.
And, in contrast with China, they never said that the reason to open branches in India was to be able to get a foot on the market there. It's like India has cheap developers but no promising market.
Yes, "edge computing" can refer to both computing done as close to the user as possible geographically, or even on the device itself. If someone says "I wanna do edge computing" it's not clear enough to know if they just want to have servers they control as close to the user as possible, or do the computing on the device itself. I think Apple would say "edge computing" is on the actual device while CloudFlare would say "edge computing" is on their infrastructure, but distributed to be physically closer to the end user.
It just seems odd, because the reason why the quadratic equation has/can have two solutions, is due directly to the square root having two solutions.
To add to this... Rikers Island is known as "Torture Island" colloquially and is mostly people awaiting trial, many of whom end up making plea deals
> except Costco where I have to use Visa and I have their card for that

I imagine this is due to some dispute with Mastercard on their fees for credit cards (you can use MC debit at Costco); Visa probably gives Costco a steep discount on fees.
It's always surprised me that Discord allows direct linking to images from outside their software.

I'm waiting for that to change.
It’s unbelievable stuff. Does anyone know how much a single box costs? They are selling them it looks like.
I think in practice you eventually reset the "time" variable to 0 and just accept that one weird discontinuity, if you care about it at all.
Plenty of time the "time input becomes too large" only happens after tens of hours of nonstop play.
> Apple Pay Later allows users to split purchases into four payments, spread over six weeks

So you basically have to start paying early, every 1.5 weeks. This seems worse than credit cards where you don't have to pay it up to like 60 days later.

It also seems strictly worse for users than other BNPL's like Affirm where many purchases can be paid over the coarse of several months or years.
I think names don't really matter that much in the grand scheme of things, short of being catastrophically bad. Bonus points if you can get the single word .com at some point, bonus points if it's memorable, but you can always rebrand down the road and of the list of things to worry about, I don't think it's very high. Certainly not a minefield.
I can't find information on how Apple will specifically implement it, but Sweetwater has a similar thing (they're a music gear shop) and it's auto-billed. You're essentially signing up for a 3 or 6 month subscription service where the monthly bill is 1/3 or 1/6 of the total cost of goods.
> Many compilers allow for emitting the original source interleaved with the assembly output.

My object file disassembler will do that:

if the source code was compiled with debug info turned on. This feature has been around at least since the 80s.
If you want decentralized without hosting your own servers, you can store data on a public blockchain. Each interaction pays a small amount of gas that grants them hosting indefinitely. Protocols are a progression from platforms since they can be ownerless. Blockchains enable protocols by acting as a general purpose database.

This is what I'm doing with https://nonphysical.systems

It's still under construction so it's on Polygon mumbai testnet therefore gas is free. The source is linked in the first message board.
Absolutely. To fly direct from Atlanta to Tokyo is about $3000 round trip.

To fly to Tokyo from Costa Rica round trip via Atlanta layover is about $1500.

You don't even need a VPN to see the price difference. It's the same airlines, the same exact planes.

It's priced by demand not by costs and it is absurd imo, especially from a climate perspective. Should I take a Costa Rica vacation I don't need just to save money?

The CCP control of TikTok is a betrayal of the open internet
It has to be deliberate. I browse old.reddit.com, but old. seems to constantly kick you over to www. against your efforts, so I often get to see the www. trainwreck. Whenever I see www. I can't believe that a competent developer can actually make a site that bad, unless they were doing so deliberately. The latest egregious www. bug is that videos with sound go silent after 2-3 seconds (desktop safari). I don't remember any time in the past when reddit's video player worked 100%, despite video being a solved problem for what, 10 years? So this isn't be a surprise. What's surprising is how bad their developers managed to make the product, and how it gets worse over time rather than better.

>As suspicious as the US federal government is, I don't think what those companies do is as tightly coupled with the government as TikTok and China.

They have backdoors to all major tech companies, they actively try to control discourse in social media and they just bailed out their tech sector. If that's not being tightly coupled, I don't know what is.

>Do you think the Chinese government is generally hostile to the long term success of Western liberalism?

No

>Do you think the Chinese government has meaningful influence on the behavior of TikTok or its recommendation engine?

Probably but no concrete evidence exists

>Do you think TikTok data on its hundreds of millions of users is available for general analysis to the Chinese government?

To the same extent our data is available to the US and its allies, yes. But China cannot do much with my data, my government can.
For US residents, the Apple Card is not a competitive credit card. There are enough credit cards with no annual fees offering at least 2% cash back on all purchases that the Apple Card's 1% back on general purchases is not a good value. Just about every credit card issuer in the US supports Apple Pay as well, allowing these 2% cash back cards to match the Apple Card's 2% on Apple Pay purchases.
Qualcomm Debuts Two New Entry-Level Robotics Platforms
If we take distance passed as a measurement, intuition tells me that bicycle is more efficient, since it doesn't have to lift the whole body, just move it around on wheels which provide very small friction.

Perhaps if we had bicycles with comfortable seats we can recline in, we could save up energy needed to balance our body on a bicycle. Something like a pedal boat, but with wheels.

I couldn't believe it when someone posted a story about a possible AI winter approaching, and with so many comments agreeing. GPT-4 is a game-changer that's only getting started.
You make an excellent point and I had to sit down and think about this more holistically because I’m just trying to understand what is going on in the economy right now and using this comment chain as a lens to try and do it in. So what I came up with is that is true but more context is necessary I think: payroll isn’t the only cost they increased. M&A was also huge this past decade: Apple bought Beats for $3B, Intel’s modem business for $1B and between 2010 and 2022 they had at least 14 other acquisitions for >$100M and this is excluding the financing and equipment purchases for their suppliers including TSMC and that weird deal they had with the PRC to invest $275B into mainland China.

Facebook’s 4 largest purchases in the last decade were WhatsApp for $19B, Oculus VR for $2B, Instagram for $1B and Kustomer for $1B along with at least 5 other acquisitions for >$100M.

I don’t want to go down the whole list in detail, but Google has invested heavily into YouTube, Waymo and other bets this past decade and Netflix was up until very recently just pouring money into Hollywood and other media markets like Japan to acquire production and/or distribution rights and built up pretty much their entire streaming infrastructure in the post-2008 world. All of this was an also financed with cheap money and these investments allowed them to grow their revenue, maybe some more successfully than others.

None of that is really artificial inflation, but I guess this is why dollar inflation is called inflation?
It's interesting that all of your examples reference ccTLDs and gTLDs, and not like, ".com" and ".org".
Student loan debt is typically not the good kind - its doled out in far larger amounts than the lender can typically acquire because it cant be discharged like other forms of debt.
> it could turn hot over the next 10 years.

It could, but it really looks to me like it's the US that is trying to make things turn hot, not China.
Banning TikTok won't fix anything unless you also ban Facebook, Instagram, etc.

If you make the underlying data collection practices illegal, then TikTok will stop being a problem.
Everyone is cutting back on marketing. Scams are always buying and make their most money during hard times.
Nobody wants good engineers. They need cheap engineers who can work with a process.
No idea; I'm struggling with that question myself. Definitely not cenk though.
>You can't just handwave away complexity. It's entirely possible for the US to have too little regulation in some fields and too much regulation in other fields.

I didn't handwave anything. My answer is sufficiently complex with multitudes of counter examples to your point.

The whole thing with the massive list of examples is to illustrate a general point on the lack of business regulation overall in the US.

I literally stated it's the ratio of failures to successes that matters here. If I can produce 30 examples of the US failing to regulate and you produce one, that speaks to an overall generality that eclipses your example.

The arena of scientific validation is hard to establish here. Neither of us can paint a picture of the entire domain of every single failure and success of regulatory laws in existence for the US. So given the nature of this debate just list as many general examples as possible.

You have nuclear power as one, that's it.

>I never claimed otherwise. But why would a conservative think tank, which favors less business regulations, not even put the US on the top ten list of most "economically free" countries if the US is so underregulated? Why would they prefer the regulatory environment in Denmark and Sweden over the regulatory environment in the United States?

Don't know. The motivations of such groups are complex and multifaceted. Following some breadcrumb trail to get at the root of it is too much effort. I only know that this group is biased and not a neutral party. There's no point in vetting a known compromised source. Pick a valid one.

>So when I bring up examples they're "exceptions", but while you bring up examples, they're examples of the rule. When I cite sources that do an overall survey of a country's regulatory environment, that's "biased", but when you cite a source that makes their money by helping companies comply with food regulations, that's just fine.

Yeah you cited one bogus example from the heritage foundation. All my examples are real. Unlike yours.

>I can run ChatGPT myself, thanks. Why don't you try thinking for yourself and considering the possibility that your presuppositions are wrong?

Highly disagree. Your answers are inferior to anything chatGPT can come up with so obviously you likely can't run it yourself.
The first "computer" I ever used was a Wang OIS 140.

It had been installed in my father's office and he took me in to see it one day. After going through a three-week (!) course on how to use it he taught me how to use it and I probably submitted the first word-processed book report in the history of my school.

I have very fond memories of that 200lbs behemoth.
Will we get to a point when an LLM is even used for cases where other methods are more suitable but would be more difficult to implement?
