> 50 million requests costs $12,000

I've never worked on a web platform like Reddit, nor with any per-request priced APIs. Reddit's charge of $0.00024 per request still looks like it is _significantly_ above what their own costs are.

Wasn't Reddit's pay-for-API-access announcement originally phrased as a desire to claw back some of the value that LLMs have found in Reddit data? I don't understand how per-request API pricing actually accomplishes that. (I was vaguely anticipating Reddit's API pricing to have some sort of expensive "firehose" endpoint for OpenAI/Google/Meta/etc to pull from.)

It looks like they're instead going to squeeze out all third-party apps instead. I don't think this bodes well for Reddit's future.
have you seen the latest Reddit app for iOS/macOS and its data privacy: there is zero privacy.

This is why I am sticking with the web-based Old Reddit.

Any further strangulation and it's "hasta la vista, Reddit".

I suggest just adding "type": "module" to your package.json, then you just need to learn the ESM parts of the new "exports" syntax in package.json, ripping the band-aid off, and only shipping ESM today. That limits the low-end version of Node you can support with your package, but that water line is already now below LTS.

We will need legacy software risc-v support for the transition towards the real thing: assembly.

What type of "work on computers professionally" are we talking about? Working on a computer as a professional artist or writer is much different than working on a computer as a programmer/hacker professionally. For the first, the computer is just a tool like a pencil or a paintbrush. I wouldn't expect them to know how to figure out how to use things unless it has a very very simple UX.
People don't value all amenities equally, and as people age, their personal amenity-valuations change, often in stepwise ways. For example, prior to having a school-aged child, an individual might value good-elementary-school-access very little, but if they have a child, their valuation of that amenity will likely rise sharply within a few time-needed-to-move units of their kid being school-aged.
Cool. I always thought RISC-V could use a Linaro type of organization to help make it easier for people to build and develop on RISC-V systems. Sounds like this is it.

But for accuracy it doesn't matter if the relationship is causal, it matters whether the correlation is real.

If in some country - for the sake of discussion, outside of Americas - a distinct ethnic group is heavily discriminated against, gets limited access to education and good jobs, and because of that has a high rate of crime, any accurate model should "know" that it's unlikely that someone from that group is a doctor and likely that someone from that group is a felon. If the model would treat that group the same as others, and state that they're as likely to be a doctor/felon as anyone else, then that model is simply wrong, detached from reality.

And if names are somewhat indicative of these groups, then an all-seeing oracle should acknowledge that someone named XYZ is much more likely to be a felon (and much less likely to be a doctor) than average, because that is a true correlation and the name provides some information, but that - assuming that someone is more likely to be a felon because their name sounds like one from an underprivileged group - is generally considered to be a racist, taboo opinion.
The OP assumes people are stealing to alleviate financial duress caused by inflation. If that's accurate, then giving people relief in a way that doesn't encourage them to intentionally be failures and doesn't make it someone else's responsibility to pay for their needs is the optimal solution.
That is not the only reason and it's not the most important reason. Papers are useful in the real world and people use them to learn stuff, and also reference them as evidence. If you're trying to learn about a topic and you have to wade through 90% bullshit AI papers when search for the topic, when you aren't experienced enough to immediately tell which papers are real, that's a problem. If malicious actors are able to spread disinformation that cites very real-looking research, or pitch journalists with very real-looking papers, that's a problem.

> Even if I only kept subscription users, the average Apollo user uses 344 requests per day, which would cost $2.50 per month, which is over double what the subscription currently costs, so I'd be in the red every month.

I just don't understand why developers underprice their apps so much. You're talking about an app that people are constantly raving about, and that people use for multiple hours per day. Charge $5/month, that's half the price of Netflix or Disney+.
The limits of conversation (2 minutes max, people disconnect) make this test really limited.
I have lived in NYC for almost 30 years and I see all sorts of complaints online and in the news, but almost never hear from anyone who actually lives here. Crime was so much worse when I fist moved here and I still mostly ignored it. There's crazy people and homeless and whatever. I let my kids walk around by themselves. I'm far more worried about them getting hit by a car than anything else.
I completely agree with you about incentives.

I'm saying there is already an incentive to build densely, developers already want to do this because they make more money by doing so. They are literally not allowed to build anything other than single family homes though, the local homeowners actually control what is allowed to be built. That is to say: the people who have an incentive to keep housing supply low are the ones deciding what is allowed to be constructed in their town.

If I go buy a piece of land in Cupertino and I want to build an apartment complex, I have to go apply for permits and get approval from the city of Cupertino zoning board. The people on that board are all people who live in Cupertino that own single family homes, they have a strong incentive to deny my application if I am building my apartment complex anywhere near their neighborhood.

Basically every single city in California has zoning laws that prohibit you from building anything other than suburban single family homes in most of the town.

What I'm saying is that you can fix the housing crisis by passing a law that limits the power of the zoning board to deny permits for these types of housing.

Take a look at the Cupertino zoning map: https://map.gridics.com/us/ca/cupertino#11.67/37.3159/-122.0...

if you click layers -> planning -> zoning you can see an overlay of the zoning for the whole city. The light beige color is "single family" zoned, meaning that nobody is allowed to build anything other than low-density homes. Notice how _most_ of the city is designated "single family". This is the cause of the entire problem. Nobody is allowed to build anything more dense than the single family homes that are already there.

Not-so-coincidentally, Cupertino is one of the most expensive places to live in the US.

Look at Houston, TX. They have no zoning laws (it's not perfect they still have deed restrictions which sometimes act similarly to zoning laws), and it is a massive city. The median house price is ~340k, something that most normal people can afford. There is a clear correlation between reduced zoning restrictions and lower housing costs.

> The walkout is being jointly organized by an internal climate justice worker group and a remote work advocacy group

While I am sympathetic to both concerns, these seem weakly related and I wonder if they are diluting their message by trying to combine them. E.g. if management asked them to be in the office 1 day a week instead of 3, but make no new commitments about environmental impact, are the walkout employees appeased or not?

Reddit seems to want NSFW content gone altogether. At this point you can only see it anonymously if you go to old.reddit.com, if you go to the regular UI it requires you to authenticate before you can see any kind of questionable content.

Fully agreed. Reddit without Apollo, Narwhal, RIF, Sync, etc is just plain unusable. The official site and app are so blatantly built around pumping "engagement" without regard to user experience and are engineered badly to boot.
I should hope any public domain image would be in the training set.
Presumably plastic surgery next for kids. Trickle down, like eg mobile phones, at first for a few adults, then many adults, a few children, then many children. As things become cheaper they spread to the younger; things including practices. Enter moral philosophy, a topic too big for chit chat.
Energy storage is good, but there's nothing wrong with "We've got more electricity than we can use, go be productive with it."

I don't know what industries could take advantage of that -- smelt some extra aluminum, make some extra fertilizer, sequester some extra CO2. But time-shifting production is also a valid way to "store" energy. It's a problem that could be an opportunity.
Good point: i hadn't tried the camera.

> most gaming motherboards have a TPM2.0 slot on them and that TPM is connected over either LPC or SPI nowadays

Mostly these days it's an fTPM, implemented in firmware (ME or AMD's "Security Processor") especially when it comes to TPM2.0 which is an entirely new madness of complexity hell compared to TPM1.
It honestly escapes me how these companies can be sustainable. The whole market is sooo inefficient. Companies also pay crazy money to appear in privileged positions in supermarkets shelves, and they will often pay crazy money for simply being in the supermarket at all

This makes a good point but is largely a strawman. Review fees do not need to be this high. At $ 25 an hour, most engineering papers take about 2-5 hours to review. That’s $ 125 per reviewer or $ 500 for three reviewers, one editor and another $ 500 for publication fees. That’s $ 1,000 in total and the number of reviewers can be fewer.

At the moment, greed drives open access publication fees. Journals charge thousands of dollars because they can. There is no logical justification of the cost. There are several journals that charge hundreds of euros for review although they do not pay reviewers.

Note also that not all review needs to be done by academics. folks in industry can contribute equally but their employer pays for their time so that boils down to altruism or business priorities. A reasonable payment for time creates an incentive for the world beyond academia and this is a net positive. The payment does not need to be prohibitive, just enough that the reviewer has an incentive to do a good job and isn’t pressured to rush. The problem thus is not limited to the journals or the peer review process but inventives.

Theres an issue with the jail reform community, mainly that they do not have an alternative. Keeping people out of jail is good - but releasing them to continue to commit crime seems odd. I dont hear the alternative "reform" solution.
Reddit has seemed rudderless for a long time.

Their ads platform is damned near useless compared to their competitors. It's a wonder they have any revenue at all.

Their moderation is wildly broken, frequently leading to blanket account bans of anyone participating in a thread close to content deemed inappropriate.
Retool was the first-mover and one of these is trying to be "the" open-source alternative to it.
> No redditor wanted them to selfhost photos and videos

Honestly, this was probably one of the more reasonable features they've added. Having to upload images on an external site added a lot of friction for users, and put Imgur in an awkward spot as well when problematic content was removed from Reddit, but not from Imgur.

Their video player still sucks, though. I'm not sure how they managed to make it so bad.

> After signing up, you will have a hosted platform for deploying new internal tools – we call them tasks

Feedback: I work for a corporation/organization where everything "useful/meaningful" is behind a tight VPN/firewall. Having scripts run against them hosted in your cloud where it's next to impossible to access our stuff probably makes this useless (aka, we'd need to self host this in "our cloud" or build bridges, etc).

They don't want people training LLMs with their data without paying for it. Blame the AI bros for stealing all their data.
"How many times do we read"

It's a known principle that crime reporting has increased far faster than actual crime. And I mean, seriously you look at 2020 and think the major story was the police had bad PR? I'm pretty sure something else pretty big happened that year.
Does it need that many resources though? I thought just getting the list of peers in a swarm for an illegal torrent is enough.
good thing I wasn't asking you then :)
Taking a new look at fundamental tech for quiet undersea propulsion
You can use Parcel or esbuild just on that CJS dependency (rather than as a top-level bundler for your whole project), and then cache the ESM result somewhere. If the package is that old and that unmaintained you can just about cache those ESM builds indefinitely. (That's what Vite kind of does under the hood. That's what snowpack used to do.)

I think npm should probably support doing that at install time.

ESM importing CJS works in Node, mostly, now, but it does have quite a bit of runtime overhead and prebaking it would be good. Especially because it is unlikely to ever see a CJS loader in the browser (and that would be awful if it did exist).
Building a product that relies 100% on a single external vendor is taking a huge risk. So many companies have been burned by this in the past that it's amazing anyone doesn't see it as a risky thing.

So I have to believe that the people making these products are intending to make as much cash as possible up front and aren't aiming for a long-term thing.
Peer review cannot catch if they performed the procedure correctly (e.g. in a lab), but it is there to check things like:

- Validity of the experimental setup

- Validity of the statistical analysis methodology

- Validity of the conclusions

Take a look at the items in this comment:[1]

> Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses

All these can be caught with peer review.

> together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance

In contrast, this problem is intensified with peer review.

> In their quest for telling a compelling story, scientists too often sculpt data to fit their preferred theory of the world. Or they retrofit hypotheses to fit their data.

Not the role of peer review to catch these, but making your data and analyses scripts open will allow these to be caught by anyone who wishes to. The problem we have with current publishing is that I could use this technique to get faulty results, publish in a prestigious journal, get a 100 citations on my paper, and one of those citations will be from the person who looked at my data and saw obvious biases in my selection (which cannot be caught by a mere peer review). That one citation pointing out how wrong I am is lost in the noise.

We need a way to highlight that citation - merely making a simple graph of connections via references doesn't get us there.

Something like 6% of Americans actually live in a food desert. A worthy problem to solve, but a total strawman when it comes to addressing obesity and food choice behavior.
Considering that lots of Californians pay practically no property tax... yes! Absolutely tax more!

The current system is extremely conservative. Any time a piece of property changes ownership, it gets hosed by the assessors. If you move to California you will be paying insane sums in property tax while living next to people who are paying almost nothing. This is an effective subsidization of people who hold property for a long time, which creates market distortions.

For example, people normally sell their house and move when they retire, because they don't need as much housing and can save money by downsizing. This means more houses on the market, which pushes down prices and keeps people from living in their cars. But not in California, because a lot of people are getting the best property tax deal available in the country there.
It depends what you're trying to get it to do. There are some prompts where the expected output is a piece of code or a paragraph containing some information, and once you reach the threshold where the code works or the information is correct, there isn't a lot of "better" left to get.

Then there are ones where more parameters matters.

> I had a Hindu nationalist recently berate me about how the "US had lost the Space Race, ISRO was the clear winner."

Because, in the US, this will quickly fall foul of free speech laws. Over 'public' airwaves maybe you could go some distance with this, but advertising on private property, as long as it is not fraudulent will present a constitutional challenge to what your saying.

And, you're also crating a regulatory nightmare. Say I put up an add for XXYZXX company, and it includes ZZXYZZ and YYXZYY information (I mean totally random picks), and I just happen to have a stake in those companies too. Now you're going to have to track hundreds of thousands of these entities to ensure no fraud is occurring, and in most cases the fines for this kind of behavior are well under the cost of doing business.

Everything you've said so far just creates bigger messes and solves nothing.
