This is exactly what we've seen on Twitter. The already low bar for quality took a nosedive once they started ruining blue checkmarks and banning third party apps.

Twitter still maintains a critical mass of users and corporate accounts, but all the most talented creators (at least the ones I followed) have reduced their Twitter usage substantially or moved on completely.

Eventually new readers will stop showing up because there is no worthwhile content.
So... Everyone is moving back to Slashdot?
Honestly I don't think that GPT-4 is smart enough to be a useful tutor for anything beyond highschool maths, no matter how much finetuning/RLHF you do.

I can see it being great for humanities though if you can get the hallucination rate down.
Sure, bad mods are a problem sometimes. But you also run into a lot of extremely knowledgeable users in your particular area of interest and can actually have great back and forth discussion.

Be it cars, bikes, coffee, firearms, you name it.

For hobbies I've found Tiktok is riddled with low quality content.

I suppose it really depends what you're looking for.

Do the numbers: How AI is helping revolutionize accounting
I mostly use Reddit for city subreddits. Despite the overall political bias of Reddit these days, they have a habit of uncovering and bringing to widespread attention a lot of stories that I wouldn't hear about otherwise. Nextdoor and Facebook generally don't cover a wide enough range of topics and are almost impossible to use to read a lot of stories. For everything else, I feel that Discord, Twitter, and forums can replace Reddit pretty handily now.
I wish there was a save button
Soon another 3rd party client will be made that hammers the new site. That gets blocked and the circle goes on
And there's OpenAI's moat.
They should just acquire it.
You mean you don't have a dedicated GPU. You wouldn't seen anything on your screen without a GPU at all.
So this means llm trained on libgen and ... which is huge.

Current models are only trained on "open" texts.
> When we improve LLMs, won't they just be a fancier auto-complete?

Not necessarily, and if so, only if your first postulate is true. Which is really difficult to say because "fancy auto-complete" is too vague to argue. Human speech can also be described as fancy auto-complete.

Luckily we don't have to argue that because I specifically am saying it doesn't have to be LLMs. You've missed the point entirely.
I doubt anyone actually used the front page to discover things, most likely they will stick to a handful of subreddits.
Just a question of temporary storage while the energy builds.

That’s not the same as giving the model to someone and allowing them to build tools with AI powering it, or the development of alternative models (which is what they’re trying to stifle). It’s less about transparency and more about putting the tools in as many hands as possible
yes... I know about this, but that's not what I'm asking about. I'm asking about it removing partial answers as it's writing them.

Please make more effort next time than to provide me with a Wiki article.
Although there is a type of peer review that includes redoing experiments and analysis: artifact evaluation. All of the top conferences in my field (real-time embedded systems) include this as an opt-in option, and papers get a special badge if they also pass artifact evaluation. I strongly believe that other fields in computer science would benefit by including and normalizing this process.

Besides the reproducibility benefits, artifact evaluation forces documentation of the experiments and process; I've found this enormously useful when on-boarding new students to an existing project.
Whose Opinions Do Language Models Reflect?
that's part of the appeal nowadays, it seems websites and apps don't see the point of making themselves freely searchable anymore
For political subreddits, sure. But I'd argue there aren't really any great places on the internet to actually have nuanced political discussion anyways. It's dominated by folks with too much time on their hands... either radically far left or radically far right. And each group ostracizes members that don't subscribe to their brand or level of extremism.

Bottom line is it depends what kind of content you're looking for. For niche interests/hobbies, Reddit is very hard to beat.
Miyazaki will definitely hate it. The last time someone demoed AI animation he said "I would never wish to incorporate this technology into my work at all. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself." [1]

> The Nazis committed genocide againist multiple groups at the exact same time using the same people, same locations, and same methods.

You seem to not understand the term "genocide", thinking it means "mass murder".

It doesn't mean that.

The difference between "mass murder" and "genocide" is that genocide (as postulated by USHMM) is a. systematic, b. bureaucratic, and c. state-sponsored, while "mass murder" is either none of that, or at the very least not all of that.

The "final solution to the Jewish question", as suggested, planned, and implemented by the Nazis, started with an intent to eliminate the Jews, regardless of their sex, age, or beliefs, to the very last one of them — and planning to the point of realizing that intent, complete with sparing no effort at all, to see that intent to full implementation.

The only other ethnical/racial group targeted in the same manner was the Sinti/Roma people. Their prosecution and murder, which is also undeniably an instance of genocide ("killing of a nation"), is known as Porajmos.

This is not meant in any way to diminish the terrible suffering of other groups who were targeted and prosecuted by the Nazi regime — Soviet civilians, Polish civilians, prisoners of war, German homosexuals, the mentally disabled, Jehovah witnesses, and others (the list is very long). But the Nazis never had an intent, planning, bureaucracy, or effort to eliminate these groups until the very last one of them — in the way they had with regards to Jews or Roma/Sinti. They never asked the occupied France to deliver French homosexuals, of whom they never cared to begin with. They never asked Hungary to turn over their mentally disabled so they could be sent to extermination camps, the way they did ask for Jews. And they never sent a huge war ship to a remote Greek island for a single Jehovah witness living there — but they did that to pick one Jew.

The Holocaust, as any genocide, is not "just" mass murder. It's an intentional, planned, and duly executed mass murder of an entire people, when the complete and utter elimination of that ethnical/racial group is the declared and practical end goal.
Yep. Although, I'd recommend prowlarr instead of jackett. Integrates with the other arr apps much better.
Not necessarily, at least in terms of communications back https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/kwangmyongsong-4.htm. Of course, it's also possible nobody has publicly tried looking at the right time. At the same time, it's also possible it wasn't really a functioning imaging satellite in the first place and was more just another test. Hard to tell when the official source just says whatever sounds most interesting that day.
The pricing seems to be aimed at killing 3rd party apps, rather than making them partners. Reddit seems to be entering it's late-stage period. I wonder what will replace it.
Nah, the supermods intentionally go after popular-enough subreddits that contradict their ideological lean, or are just not ideological enough, either taking over moderation of subreddits that aren't breaking rules, or banning subreddits that are (while never banning subreddits that break the rules but are ideologically align).
One of the two tax number systems is, yes :)

There’s also another one which changes every time you move across financial administrative districts.
I believe Teddit uses scraping; I run a Teddit instance for myself and haven't needed to set up an API key.
Isn't it just "the problem is hard enough that tooling have to be complicated" ?

I don't believe that in 20+ years "nobody found a good UI/UX designers for it"
I have recently searched for some open source alternative to reddit. Lemmy.ml seems to be a fediverse alternative, and have a nice web UI and apps, though the site is pretty much empty. If popular 3rd party app could join force and migrating to lemmy because of reddit's brain-dead pricing. It will be interesting.

> What if we built a ton of free and low-cost housing?

Lets imagine homeless people are 3x more likely to commit a crime than the housed. Currently 1 in 800 people are homeless. If you eliminated the homelessness problem you'd end up with less than an even 1% reduction in crime.

> Created a public healthcare system?

Most crime is committed by young people who have very limited healthcare needs.

> made it easier for struggling people to get welfare assistance for staples like food and clothing

I was homeless for a while, and even among the homeless most could eat and were clothed. Such a small % of the population in the U.S. doesn't haven't enough food or clothing that making sure they did couldn't possible drive much of a reduction in crime.

Those might all be nice things for a society to provide, but it isn't going to reduce the crime rate.

What even is the point of Blue?

We already know that the "verification" it provides is functionally worthless.

These days it seems like anyone with a blue checkmark is just asking to get made fun of.
Accepting that for the sake of argument, have they actually proposed any regulations that would turn that around? I don't even know what would be feasible in that direction; a lot of proposed regulations only seem enforceable as long as giant GPU clusters provide a chokepoint.
I don't know what the economics are behind it, but there have been a ton of vacuous AI boosting content in the last few months. I guess unlike with crypto you can't simply sell tokens or NFTs so all these bots can really do is just hype up the technology to get clicks and follows for a future scheme.

Why not accept map keys as nullable similar to what non-required fields in protobuf do? Wouldn't arrays open you up to duplication?

More broadly, I'm interested in sparse field updates vs. full payload updates and how each of these handle nullable / emptyable fields. I haven't seen any protocol or standard handle these well.
Ask HN: Are people choosing yarn over NPM or pnpm? Why or why not?
Yarn was fantastic when it first came out. It really pushed the other node package managers to focus on stability and performance. Recently, I've run into issues with how it manages packages in a monorepo, and it seems to result in larger `node_modules/` than either pnpm or npm.

Are folks still choosing yarn for new projects, and if so what's making you choose it over other options?
Interesting.

My perception in 2014 was right in line with the way it's told in that 2015 article: that this was a new and clever UI twist, one that I hadn't seen before and that many people in the industry were copying after seeing it in Mailbox. That was as an engineer in San Francisco, talking with designers and product folks and people much more plugged in to industry gossip than me - so I think that means it truly had not previously existed in the mobile apps (really, the iPhone apps) that people here who were connected were paying attention to.

It sounds like Palm had the feature years earlier. Maybe the Mailbox folks got the idea from there! In any case I think they did succeed in bringing the feature to a lot more users, by making it something that people in the industry widely knew about and copied.
This is basically what I meant. I recognize requirements to be vaccinated to enter a restaurant is stupid if you require it with the expectation that you're making other people safer. But as a whole we're all safer if we're all vaccinated because it was proven to put less strain on hospitals, and it's somewhat empty hope is what made people feel comfortable with getting back to "normal". Which is important because a lot of people did suffer in very real ways from lock downs.

I support and encourage skepticism, and especially with anything that has a profit motive (including vaccines). But it was pretty clear that COVID vaccines were more good than bad.
The fossil record isn't particularly good evidence for the theory of evolution by natural selection because of the nature of fossilization. It requires special conditions and the overwhelming majority of creatures never fossilize. It is good evidence that creatures that used to be around aren't anymore though.

Evolutionary biologists tend to be very defensive though. If you say to a particle physicist "hey the standard model isn't that great" he'll say "yep, wish we could do better." If you say to an evolutionary biologist "hey the theory of evolution by natural selection isn't that great" he'll resort to ad hominems. This is probably because the standard model is hard science, whereas evolution by natural selection is more of a best effort conjecture.

And there is a really important distinction to be made. Evolution in the sense of heritable traits being selected for is undeniable fact. Dogs are a thing after all so we've verified the effects of selection in a controlled setting. So when someone critiques the theory of evolution by natural selection it should be understood as part of the process of coming up with a better theory, not "muh anti science."

As for point 1) I fully agree. I'm using it a lot currently due to lack of alternatives, mainly with java. Swagger codegen is the one I've had most success with, but both openapi and swagger codegen shares the same problems.

For internal projects we use grpc which is a breeze to use in comparison.
Allowed? Where do I say he is or isn’t allowed? You must be trolling to so poorly represent what I’m saying.

He can wear anything he wants. So can you. So can anyone.

If he wants to, and for all I care, he can dress up like a clown. Or dress up like a jester. Or he could wear Gucci or Prada. Or wear steampunk leather outfits like he is in the world of mad max. Or he could go clean cut preppy. He can wear a fedora and a trilby on top of one another.

But, by personal choice and temperament, he wants to dress as he dresses. It just so happens that his personal preference aligns with a particular trope. A particularly uncool trope in popular culture.

I’m pointing out that alignment. I am not making him dress that way and I am not forcing culture to judge him.

I'm surprised they didn't take the approach of "API access for paid accounts only, and with limits to restrict LLM scraping". If they'd added that to Premium, plus a lower-tier "API" pricing at $1-2/month they'd likely have cleaned up.

I'm curious what percentage of Reddit Premium subscribers are also users of third-party apps - seems to me that if you're a power user you're more likely to be in both camps. Also moderators - apparently lots of mods do so through the apps instead of the website, so there may be plenty of subs that have issues as well.

An LLM only has to download text once. You could easily coordinate a scrape across various IPs and accounts over the course of a couple of months and it would be really hard to detect. Especially if you target alternate GUI api based versions of the site.
I think there is also value to the general online/web community, in keeping the reddit community on reddit.
His group is instead full of people who don’t want to pay for things and who don’t like ads. Good luck bootstrapping the next Reddit with that.

I dislike that the article is filled with the false positive (FP) anecdotes. It’s important to state that there are many false positives, there must be. However, the focus should be on minimizing these FPs while maximizing true signal, and investigating these in depth. Everything that is potentially true signal, is what I want to read about, not something something microwaves during lunchtime.
Many corporations make billions. That isn't an argument to not pay for the goods or services they offer.

I'll add, since I'm not the person you were replying to, I don't care about who gets paid what. I don't care if the actors get paid or not. All I care about is some basic consistency if we're going to have morals about anything. Is it wrong to steal? Yes? Then piracy is wrong. (Or, no? Then let's skip this conversation entirely, you are my enemy.) Yeah, piracy is pretty easy. Yeah, it feels harmless when we do it. Should individuals get fined tens of thousands of dollars for infractions? No. But I'd say it's about as wrong as stealing a loaf of bread from a grocery store. To pretend it's a noble cause is transparent garbage, and unless you can pose an argument that doesn't complain about how much corporations make, I'm not interested.

There appears to be nothing underpinning your worldview for why the industry you work in ought not allow open thievery, but this one should. Yes, their corporations make billions of dollars, just like in every other industry where theft is not tolerated. Or perhaps you support open thievery everywhere at any time, in which case, like I said, you are my enemy.

I can't provide a direct citation but I worked on image detection shopping for Kakao[1] and can say from personal observation that at least in Korea these features are far more popular (and ridiculously profitable) among women. According to Forbes women drive 70-80% of all consumer purchasing decisions in the US[2] so I can't imagine it's that rare there either, but I could be wrong and this could be an entirely eastern thing but given Huawei is a Chinese company I would bet it's a very popular feature for the phone.

I think you are looking for the old forum culture that used to exist before Reddit came along. Reddit is weak because it is either segregating people into subreddits and echo-chambers (making it just an over-moderated monopolistic forum killer), or it is a tool to force you to read political stuff that you don't want to get into, or it is an over-moderated amphitheater for far-left chauvinism. What exactly is the point of the "Reddit system" if you're basically trying to mimic what used to exist in the forum culture pre-reddit?

Yes, but that won't solve all our problems. We have to distribute out the hot places to live, we can never make enough affordable housing if everyone wants to live in a few select cities.

Having lived in Europe, I don't thing they have figured it out either (except for the car-optional lifestyle).
