> 50Hz is within the range of most LFO circuits (Low Frequency Oscillators) of the kind used for modular synthesisers and guitar effect pedals.

i don't think those are designed for long-term frequency stability, either. not at the <0.01% level needed for a clock. rest of your comment is on track, but the original low-voltage low-power 50Hz signal needs to come from something that was designed for low long-term drift.
You can search for public servers in the Discord app by keyword, but not for specific posts across all servers. It's more comparable to Reddit but without the frontpage, or structured posts.

Im genuinely curious, how much value should reddit be extracting per user via third-party-clients for their services given they can't serve them ads and what not themselves?

Facebook's ARPU is $58.77 in the US/Canada so $5/month. According to them, Apollo's Pro clients would earn reddit $2.50/month. Is the right number $1? I imagine that would still kill Apollo.

It seems like the problem more generally is that third-party clients cannot extract the same value from users that first-party clients can.

Has anyone tried to solve this differently? What if Reddit gave you a libAds to add in your application where you build and control the other 90% of the interface and do a profit sharing system with them.
Its true, any specific open source project will have a limited and influential contributor base. But the fact that its open source code also allows it to be fluid and dynamic; ie. you and anyone who has different ideas about the direction of said project can build their own forks. You can convince people to support your network.

And then your network will compete with all the other open networks and protocols. And may the better ones win.

Wait they really do nothing more than verify identity? As in the same the the person working there does checking ID? Is the only purpose to get people to cut the line but to add smoke and mirrors so it seems like that’s not the point? If that’s the case, why don’t airports just let people pay to cut the line?
Yep, its called hot staging & was used on some of the Titans for example.

Another even more conservative option is to ground start all your engines and then throw some of them away directly (original Atlas) or with a stage (R7/Soyuz).

There are certainly some tradeoffs with this, such as making it impossible to use a proper altitude/vacuum optimized nozzle if all your engines are ground started.
Are there any Imagination gpu drivers this time around or is this another unusable Imagination gpu, alike Intel GMA500 / Poulsbo a decade & a half ago?
Sooooo how much power does that clock use ?

Because simplest one would be:

* a cheapo chinese subwoofer amplifier
* 12V wall-wart to power it
* a quartz-stabilized 50Hz generator (soooo an arduino, with DAC, even simple R2R + some filtering).
* transformer fitting subwoofer amp output voltage. Measure amp output voltage at near-max, connect amplifier to secondary and tweak the "volume" till it is right.

Sub amp is like $5, $3 for cheapest arduino clone, probably like $2 for transformer, and few bucks in proto board and other components

If you want to overcomplicate it you could put rPi into it and sync the 50Hz clock to NTP
If you’re talking about a self-hostable Reddit-like service, Tildes’ platform might be a good option if it suits your taste.

I think this should generally be true. The aggregation performed by model training is highly lossy and the model itself is a derived work at worst and is certainly fair use. It may produce stuff that violates copyright, but the way you use or distribute the product of the model that can violate copyright. Making it write code that’s a clone of copyright code or making it make pictures with copy right imagery in it or making it reproduce books etc etc, then distributing the output, would be where the copyright violation occurs.
What actually happened was that Takashi Kii of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan was arguing that the current laws (from 2018) are problematic because they are extremely loose and allow even illegally obtained content to be used for training, and he asked Keiko Nagao, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to confirm that this is the case.

She confirmed that under current laws that's true but said that they need to keep an eye on it because there's a balance between the development of new AI technology and protection of copyright.

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology is also in the process of compiling information about case law on copyright and AI but there don't seem to be any current plans to amend the law again in either direction.

> every user using Apollo instead of their own first party apps is lost revenue.

This isn't true if they're charging for API access. At best it's a question of whether the lost ad revenue is being compensated for by API revenue.

If you want to attribute an ulterior motive here I'm guessing it's more about control. They want their users to use Reddit as they want them to use Reddit, or at least they'd like to reserve the right to that power.
How dare the Chinese do the same thing that we're doing?

This comment reminded me of some thoughts...

When Stable Diffusion was released, and I saw the whole model was ~4 GB.. I instantly thought how insane it would be if it somehow was possible to take the model and a compiled binary of the inference code for x86_64 (without any modern extensions) on a DVD back in time, say around 2005-2006ish, and the implications that would have, psychologically, on the world.

You could load that model on a moderate desktop with a 64 bit Core 2 Duo and 8GB of ram and let it chug .. without GPU acceleration, on CPU only it would take ~2 hours to make an image. But it would do it without an internet connection, without any inspectable code or heuristics... just... numbers, spitting out an image from text of whatever_people_want.

It would be called a hoax. (In fact, I came across people on reddit when Dalle2 came out claiming it was somehow a trick or a hoax, and that all the images it produced must be existing beforehand somehow and prerendered).

Scientists who dissected the weights file and the machine code for the inference engine would eventually figure out it was a neural net, but how such a net was trained would be a complete mystery. Theories involving aliens would likely appear.

I wonder if it would be allowed to be made public, just the knowledge that such a thing was working. It would scare people, I think. Having it make these images without anyone knowing how.

Hell, it is kinda scary now, ever knowing how it all works.
The other side of the argument is that, when Reddit is actually doing a good job for these niche communities, is it different to the old forum culture or a discord server?
It's far more efficient to search and subscribe to accounts that produce content you're interested in. Consider disliking things to help the algorithm figure out your interests. Long hold on any video, tap "Not Interested".
We have not done benchmarks against deeplake yet. Deeplake has some interesting concepts in their design, I'd be very interested to do a benchmark soon.
It's the rise and fall of people who like todo lists, and they haven't really fallen.
> If I were making something for this problem I would make an AC-DC-AC converter with a PLL to divide the 60Hz input frequency to 50Hz to control the inverter.

I'd put a $3 breakout board with any microcontroller and quartz... why would you want to sync to power network in the first place ?
An extra USB 3.0 port is a nice start. PCIe and gigabit is also great. Hopefully though we see throughoutputs really scale up somehow on SBC. A couple great USB4 ports in 2026 or whenever would be sweet.
This is where Apollo builds their own reddit clone, implements reddit's API, and starts their own competing social network. Use the ~$5/month to pay for server costs, or run an ad supported variant.
>personally if I thought I was doing something that was going to wholly or partly cause the “extinction” of the human race. I would stop doing it

There are so many things wrong with this line of thinking. First, it mischaracterizes the issues. Few people believe AGI guarantees the extinction of humanity. The issue is that there is a significant potential for extinction and thus we need a coordinated effort to either manage this risk or prevent its creation. It does little to stop the coming calamity to single-handedly abstain from continuing to build. Coordination is a must. Besides, most people will think they stand a greater chance of building it safely than the next guy. The coordination is required to keep other people from being irresponsible. Human hubris knows no limits.

The other mistake is misjudging nerd psychology. You can believe there's a high chance of what you're working on being dangerous and still be unable to stop working on it. As Oppenheimer put it, "when you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it". It is a grave error to discount the motivation of trying to solve a really sweet technical problem.

Ultimately these kinds of claims are self-serving, they provide rational cover to justify your predetermined beliefs that those calling for regulation are trying stifle competition. Folks don't want to be left out of the fun. The justification is in service to the motivation.
Which makes it completely useless for applications like credit scoring.
There's no difference between an art student looking through a museum or archives for ideas and an AI using the material for training.

Same could be said for reading. A medical student reading through textbooks or a writer who reads is essentially what an AI is doing.

You can ask an art student to create something in a certain style. You can get writes to write in a certain style. Equivalent.
There's another possibility - they have measured it, and have assumed the draw to Reddit will be stronger than their ties to the third-party apps.
> If that’s the case, why don’t airports just let people pay to cut the line?

They do. That is what Clear is for (just as Ticketmaster takes the heat for venues or artists taking more from customers via fees). You mean "why don't they make it more overt?" That's a great question.
I was just thinking of how when Digg died, Reddit was there for us. Onto the next best thing!
In the future I expect synthetic data will take the lion's share because it is easier to scale. In order to produce it you need a good way to filter out the junk, this can be done in many ways, some cheap and other expensive.

It’s both: OpenPGP’s mandatory primitives are not great. There are extension RFCs for more modern primitives, but they aren’t mandatory.

I use plain text files (1 markdown doc per day) + grep so kind of in line with your recommendation here. But I've also tried Obsidian/Logseq and stuff like that for complex topics with interlinking, and I still think backlinks & knowledge graphs are useful and maybe better than just grep. Basic search relies on you to remember some keyword you want to search on, but networked notes let you traverse your old notes in faster more productive ways.

I revisit old notes maybe once a month, and every time I do that I wonder why I still haven't migrated fully to Logseq.

> Such features are just productivity industry nonsense to make you feel productive while the content remains elusive to your mind.

Don't forget that everyone has a different workflow and what works for you might not be ideal for someone else. Also Obsidian/Logseq are both free vs Roam/Notion/etc -- some people just intensely incorporate notes as a part of their workflow.

It seems Google is trying to eliminate anything that affects YouTubes bottom line more aggressively than before.

Introducing ad-blocker blockers is among one of those.

Another one I’ve noticed and I’m sure it’s not a coincidence; I always use YouTube via browser on mobile (has some great extensions including ad blockers) and I’ve noticed that the quality on the mobile browser is limited to 360p…

There’s no option to increase in the drop-down. I tested on various videos that have 1080p in the web browser and no dice.

We have no evidence one way or the other, but it's kind of insane to me to think that superhuman AGI is not possible.

Human-level intelligence is possible. See: humans

Do you think it's physically impossible to recreate human-level general intelligence artificially?

Do you think it's physically impossible for any intelligence to be superhuman, even a natural intelligence?

Unless you answered "yes" to either of the above, why shouldn't it be physically possible for humans to create superhuman AGI?

Is there any physical law whatsoever that even hints that intelligence should be able to create AGI at its own level, but in no way more intelligent?

I never said there was a physical theory that predicts superhuman AGI. But in contrast, there are other concepts such as time travel which are prohibited by certain theories we have. It seems very unlikely for time travel to be possible. Superhuman AGI is not prohibited from existence.
There's also a much more noticeable problem of Reddit being too US-centric. The moderation is the cause, but I think it's also symbolic of US political culture that fails to take into account that politics can work differently across cultural lines. In a way the website has become more racist than the pre-Trump-election moderation Reddit.

Good question! Yes we did talk to Anaconda (we talked to Peter Wang), and they seemed interested in related but slightly different approaches. Some of their forays into exploratory programming are pyscript https://pyscript.com/, the also acquired python anywhere https://www.pythonanywhere.com/, which is sort of like Wordpress for Python developers!

We ended up partnering with Posit (formerly RStudio) a bit more on this at this was a bit more natural in terms of alignment of product and vision. You should definitely keep an eye on Posit (https://posit.co/) to see what they come up with in this space.

I don't think there was an opportunity to "be acquired" (not sure if that was what you were asking) because we didn't get far enough down the commercialization path to justify that.
I suppose so. I'm just imagining these "ghost AI artists" who publish catalogues of music using the audible likeness of more prolific artists.

I know that you could have always just hired an Eminem impersonator and have them lay down tracks...but this technology lets you achieve speed and scale. At least the Eminem impersonator was a real person. This is just a model learned off an artists voice.
I think I saw somewhere the average user generates $0.12/month in ad revenue for Reddit. The proposed API rate is over 10x that.
I have fond memories of their CD-Rom, back when that was a thing. At the time I was managing a CD-Rom shop and this was one of the "things to have". Later in life, in San Francisco, I met someone who worked on that CD-Rom. He liked to insinuate that he knew who they were but I didn't buy it.
The world currently has some serious problems that aren't going to be fixed by punishing people hardest hit by that fact. White collar criminals often hurt more people and to a greater degree and tend to be coddled in comparison.

There is an element of classism here to which I object. I'm well aware some people just like hurting others and will do so on any excuse.

I did say "and/or" and every single reply here sounds like no one heard that, as if I started my comment with something like "You meanie face! Instead of punishing people who are clearly victims of the system, we should help them!"

That framing doesn't exist and I think it's a waste of my time to continue to engage people who seem to be misreading my initial comment.

Thank you for the pedantic note. I didn't previously know that. (It doesn't impact my point, for the record.)

It's definitely "just buy one", if you just want an inverter.

It is nonetheless interesting if you want to build it as component of something more complex, say DIYing a battery bank out of some recycled cells

I wonder how many changes would be required to run the whole thing on say 24 or 48V. At glance just powering the board with 12V source and just feeding more to MOSFETS seems to be enough
A sudden 46% improvement in productivity is... insane.

If that rate of improvement is similar for other types of jobs, AI models are going to be very disruptive, especially as they get better in coming months and years.
