> The few guys I've known well enough over the years to discuss such matters who had lived with vasectomies long enough all complained of testicular pain, granulomas forming, etc.

And of the several guys I know who had lived with vasectomies for a long time, none of them experienced any sort of long-term discomfort at all.

We have dueling anecdata here. I have not seen any information, in data or anecdotes, that would make me even a little nervous about getting a vasectomy.

However, there is risk with literally all surgical procedures, no matter how minor. Different people have different risk tolerances, and I am not diminishing your own personal risk assessment.

I predict that by the time that happens we will have stopped using the term "minority" and will have replaced it with a new term that serves the same purpose.

I think this site will get a flood of new users from Reddit once the axe drops. I think this will cause the quality of discussions to go down.
One thing a lot of the streaming services do is you can buy/rent the 4k/HD/whatever version but if you're watching on a PC with some browsers (I think Edge supports 4k) they will stream in 360p or something. Like what the hell am I paying for then?
A moderator's job is to keep their subreddit a functioning community. It seems entirely reasonable to me that they might notice a pattern and cast a wide net to save themselves a lot of hassle.

New book on the scientific controversy surrounding Shaken Baby Syndrome
After a personal ordeal, I directed my research career towards Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS), a highly controversial but fascinating topic at the intersection of medicine, science, and law.

I just co-edited a book published by Cambridge University Press (Shaken Baby Syndrome: Investigating the Abusive Head Trauma Controversy, Findley et al 2023). AMA.
An investment firm is hedging its investments. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
I remain shocked this wasn't Musk's approach with Twitter; make API access part of Twitter Blue.
I wonder if the city of birth is relevant too for uniqueness. I imagine the collision prevention then falls in the hands of the city administration office. It'd be funny if there's a Hans Müller born on 31 May 2023 in Frankfurt, and another Müller family wants to register a Hans, also born in Frankfurt, also on the same date, they might say "Sorry, that name is taken already".

Of course it'd be complicated if e.g. the 2 Hanses were born in a foreign country with no such checks, and moved to Germany later on...
Conjecture only but above in this thread
That kind of ignored what I wrote earlier. If A-indoctrination means to:

> help foster critical thinking and show proper scientific methodology incl. how to discern good and bad sources

and B-indoctrination doesn't, we can still say that one is more indoctrinated than the other, since one doesn't simply follow their indoctrination, but actually has the tools to evaluate their position properly.
Ok then, that makes sense.
i.reddit.com was different than old.reddit.com - it was designed for easy use on mobile.

It was recently killed, just like old.reddit.com will be.
Over 90% of my reddit usage is through Apollo. Sounds like I’ll have to find another way to kill a few minutes while I am eating lunch or waiting on a bus.
Seems like the value proposition is quite similar to windmill.dev

Could you explain a bit more about the differences and similarities between you and windmill
Why in 2023 it takes like 4 seconds for every site to load on a mobile phone? Does anyone on reddit even use reddit on phone? They dont know that their page takes forever to load? Or do they just want to get rid of users that try to read stuff and make it some sort of a picture-based site? Seriously did anyone there ever even try to optimize loading ? I go to /r/askreddit - open a random thread - and it takes few seconds to load. Compare it on mobile to old i.reddit that loaded instantly even with thoustands of comments.

I tried like 10 different reddit apps. None of them has the look and feel of the light-weight i.reddit did. I dont even mention that those apps often dont have tabs + history cannot be shared with browser.. Seriously why there is no app that behaves the way i.reddit behaved?

I also dont understand how the really-really old reddit "frame" (top 10 upvoted comments on left side of the screen) died. This was just so damn good.
Internet supposedly moved forward due to "security", but why there cant be some sort of a browser plugin that can display the original site on 90% of the screen and top 10 reddit comments (i.reddit style with nesting) on the left?
I'd like to see the reputable source. It surely can't be Bloomberg, which has provided no evidence.

That's the point - it's an arbitrary cutoff, so the high frequency with which results cluster around that point is indicative of a problem.

If a field accepts P=0.05 as significant it means 1 in 20 results can be false positives just by random chance. Now think about how many papers get published, and many of them report more than one thing. The right threshold should really be an order of magnitude lower. It's not OK for scientists to report FPs at that rate, and that's a big part of the reason for declining confidence in science.
This is cool! Seems like you have a ton of data and a lot of different measurement's. I can see myself using this on my next ski trip

>now we have an accurate number.

No, now we THINK we have an accurate number because everyone in the entire chain is bullshitting about how good machine learning and their data is.

That's so much worse.
That's both speculative and illogical. Police don't prevent crime. They can only arrest after the fact. And that's only if they catch them. And police did not withdraw from anywhere. No city defunded police. The defund movement was predicated on the fact that police are ineffective at preventing crime. That economics plays a much bigger role. Employment in places like NYC took much longer to recover because so many jobs depended on offices being full. And the homicide rate has, in fact, been dropping the last two years. The pandemic peak was less than 1/4 the 1990s peak.
I think your doomsaying is a bit premature. As long as companies want us to be able to see their content, there will be ways to extract it without the DRM gunk. From a security / threat model analysis perspective, DRM can never be 100% secure. And remember, for DRM to work, all these products have to be perfect 100% of the time. Someone trying to break DRM only needs to be lucky once. The idea of all software and hardware reaching some sort of perfect level of security is pretty laughable.

From the hardware side, tools get cheaper and cheaper every year. Even today it's a lot more feasible for a motivated group to do things like decapping chips and scanning them to extract keys. This sort of thing will only get cheaper and more accessible over time. Maybe manufacturers will have to start putting HSMs into their products that self-destruct when they detect tampering to try to combat this?
Meta's reach is gigantic, their data is detailed and expansive. You're actually paying less on average when spending on Meta platforms than you are elsewhere, and likely getting more back. This is why companies are comfortable with throwing an ad campaign on Meta platforms just to get email signups, there was a blog on Shopify where a smaller company talked about spending $5000 for a newsletter ad, and per new subscriber they only spent $1.50 on the ad campaign. Even though technically they've really lost money on such a situation, they feel comfortable doing it again on calculations for future revenue.
Mobile reddit takes minimum 5 seconds to load on the latest Android using a fork of Firefox called Mull. I suspect the slow load is retaliation for preventing analytics, under the guise of "this script is waiting for a response, won't time out immediately". I'm always confronted with a "this experience is better in the app!" pop up. Signed in on old reddit.
I still fail to see how that caused all that drama. That "poorly communicated" way must have been horribly bad?
Sure that internal disorganization might seem unprofessional, but that's a thing to shrug off. I assume it was more about thephds ego and maybe perfectionism, which got hurt and triggered an irrational response.
They are all going to do it, but governments have far scarier powers when it comes to what they can do with the information they'll learn from prism-llm
I wouldn't call it "devaluation" because what Reddit is basically saying is that Apollo is worth $20 million at least. Won't be surprised if they first squeeze the third party apps out of business, then buy them for super cheap.
For a good reason... Profit margins at most restaurants are razor thin.
Yes that is correct, but they are not much used outside of the service they are intended for.
> There are no good free outcomes that are not advertising-supported, and the API is incompatible with advertising…

I'm curious why you'd think that. If anything, an API access agreement allows Reddit to compel Apollo to meet advertising requirements.
They’ve recently killed i.Reddit and /.compact (the mobile versions of old.reddit) and have also gimped old.reddit immensely over the last year, with things like images being force-embedded into the new layout even if you access the raw image path (!!), among other things. There’s absolutely no way old.reddit lasts much longer.
> somebody has to pay for the actors and the grips and the foley artists

They are paid. If they're not paid enough then that's on the companies behind the production of those shows and movies.

These corporations make billions. Piracy isn't hurting them. However, these corporations are causing harm to society. It doesn't make sense to white knight for them.
my bias is in product development experience so from that lens i think it's a mistake to focus on the technical aspect of your pitch, or really any technical improvement. "chat is a solved problem" to people. mind you, i get annoyed when people say that line, but it's good way to force a discipline to focus on the unique people problem, not make another chat stack.

the sentiment needs to land: are humans gonna sign up and bring other humans to interact with.

right now the messaging on the landing page isn't good enough to evoke that, but that's ok it's v1.

if you ask me, products need to be instantly understandable in like a 5-10 word sentence. and that sentence can take hundreds of iterations.

"1 hour grocery delivery" is the perfect product market fit. it's undeniable. disclaimer: used to work for this company =p
The Mars isn't for sale yet, so you probably have a little time to prepare... I will be curious to see if most packages will be available for the architecture, I could imagine having to compile some things (slowly).
You might actually get pretty far if you just went through the Microsoft docs and created a bunch of really concise examples and fed that as the start of the prompt. Use like 6-7kb for that and then the question at the end.
Not quite $240, but Netflix apparently spends about $100 for customer acquisition [1] (data is a few years old). I imagine the other streaming sites have similar unit economics.

In consumer finance, CACs are even higher. For standard credit cards it’s around $200 but can be over $1000 for premium cards.

It's a tragedy, because reddit is the last source of publicly available truth on the internet. I can search for anything with site:reddit.com and see actual human beings' opinions on the matter.

All other truth is locked down in unindexed chats, and all other search results are SEO'd AI written articles shilling referral links.

You can throttle APIs so they are still useful for a human browsing content, but essentially worthless for scraping meaningful amounts of data.

You can also detect accounts that are displaying scraping behavior and block them.

I'll take researchers' gut feelings more seriously once we're out of the ongoing hype cycle. Right now most people are probably overestimating applicability of current advances, and that colours their predictions. Researchers are just as affected by this.

And it's not like this estimate is based on a lot of concrete reasoning. So yeah, I would expect it to fluctuate wildly at an unexpected development in the field initially, then settle down around a slight change. Which is basically the definition of a hype cycle.
The 100MHz downclocking is only seen in Icelake, and not in Rocketlake (no perceptive downclocking behavior from any AVX512).

So its a lot of effort to think about a problem that's only identified on a relatively small number of server processors, and (probably) won't be a problem moving forward.
> And I already paid for the app. I refuse to pay more for something that is not a necessity.

To be fair, paying for Apollo unfortunately doesn’t support the future of Reddit. They need some way to keep the business afloat.

The different category of the talk literally changed nothing about his talk... except maybe the duration and time schedule. It's not like they called it off last second after he had already prepared everything.
I'm starting from the assumption that the vast bulk of hand optimized assembly does not elaborate on the thinking behind the implementation in a way that can be processed through training. Certainly not assembly obtained by reverse engineering. Assuming I'm correct, does this mean there is a dearth of training material available for building such a model?

It would seem that first one would need a model that could consume arbitrary assembly and somehow discover it's intent, generate 'labels' (apologies if I'm misusing terms here,) and they feed the output into another model.
Does it make a profit?
Because 10 engineers paid hundreds of thousands a year do a better job than 1 engineer paid millions.

And that's because it is very high skill work, otherwise, it would have been 100 engineers paid tens of thousands.
Hi Bob, you'd rather argue with a username you recognize rather than get to the truth? Here we are, closer to the truth than before, and you're maligning others for cutting you off from a witty gotcha on a person whom you seem to hold some grudge against.

It's also like bragging that you were a highly advanced civilization and got conquered/occupied by a bunch of dumb savages. There's a few more prominent countries that follow similar narratives and I agree with you that it sounds far more embarrassing than boasting. And if you're superior then why haven't you caught up or surpassed the others? I can understand if this is like <100 years but longer than that feels embarrassing and counter to the superiority narrative.

As to why it works, I completely understand. We just want reasons to feel superior. It is why in high school jocks define metrics as strength and why nerds define metrics as intelligence. It's why we have "well I have street smarts" and other things like that.

The feature of browse without having an account is great, it will be great for WordPress who uses Slack. I remember reading some articles about WordPress in the site WP Tavern who mentioned some sources as "announced on the WordPress Slack", with Zulip everyone will be able to link those announcements.
I think of the extinction worry as an extention of the oppression worry. It would make sense, as AI capabilities grow, for it to replace most or all humans for positions within any company that aren't physical labor, including, eventually CEOs. After that ... what about when politicians that rely completely on AGIs for their campaigns and policy positions tend to beat politicians that don't? At some point, we'll put AGIs in power because a lot of small decisions that make sense on an individual level but not collectively. Once AGI is here, it will happen rather quickly unless we implement MORE draconian measures than it would take to stop AGI before it happens.

Of course, this all hinges on how hard it is to make AGI. People have wildly varying estimates of this, it could be 3 years, or it could be 30 years or more.

Your estimate may be on the higher side. But if we assume that and are wrong and it turns out to be really soon, we will be blindsided.
> You won't find the likes of Yudkowsky talking about this because they'd rather go on about their fan fiction than actually work to prevent real problems we may face soon. The fact that they've tricked some really smart people into going along with their shenanigans is extremely disappointing.

If they've tricked smart people into going along with their shenanigans, it was by making clear technical arguments for why AGI is an existential risk. The core argument is just

1. We might create ML models smarter than ourselves soon

2. We don't really understand how ML models work or what they might do

3. That seems dangerous

There's more to it than that of course, but most of the "more to it" is justifications for each of those steps (looking at the historical rate of progress, guessing what might go wrong during the training process, etc.).

The people who dismiss that AI is an existential risk might have really good counterarguments, but I've never heard one. The only counterarguments people seem to make are "people are scared of technology all the time, but usually they're wrong to be", "that seems like sci-fi nonsense", etc. If you want people to stop being "tricked" by Yudkowsky and co, the best way to do that would probably be to come up with some counterarguments and communicate them.

Not sure if it’s just Mexico or other central/South American countries but I’ve found the “fumar mata” labeling to be really effective. Complete with pictures of gross bodily harms.

You can't report to the moderators, they're just anonymous users that for some reason wants to work for free for Reddit. Often times they have their own agendas, I've used third party sites to show deleted comments that makes it clear some mods support calls for violence against certain groups, depending on which subreddit it is.

I've reported threats of violence similar to what you describes over at https://www.reddit.com/report and they removed it after a day or two, even comments that were highly upvoted.
I'm confused why you would request data that explains that if people have assets they will borrow against them and invest to make more money. I'm not sure what data would satisfy your request because this just seems blindingly obvious to anyone who can reason about personal finance.

And you think that providing incentives for people to move houses has no effect on any of the other components? Come on.

The other commenter laid out the other reasons well enough so I won't repeat them.
The problem is the car doesn't let you ignore it. You need to perform some kind of "hey, are you paying attention?" input on the steering wheel what seems like every 30 seconds or so(not sure of the exact numbers). Maybe the driver just happened to doze off in that intervening 30 seconds...at which point, he would have crashed anyway.
Breakable in principle but difficult in practice. Put a TPM chip in there and it’s going to be quite difficult to extract the signing keys.
Haha this is good advice. I have been known to spend thousands of iterations on landing pages and readmes for Dev tools. So I think I'm all for the iterations. And yea I agree there's more to be done on the messaging side. I appreciate the advice. I'm also just looking at the practicalities of a self hosted offering. I'd have to rebuild parts of it from the ground up to make that happen. And federation yea a taller ask. But I will take these things seriously and try to understand it a bit more. I totally get it because it's been on my mind a long time, good to see someone else feels the same.
