> Comparing Japanese-American internment camps to Auschwitz is a disgraceful thing to do. In no way shape or form were they as big of a problem as Auschwitz.

That's consistent with what I said. You said "if they were humanly treated in the camps there wouldn't be so much of an issue", to which I provided a counter-example where people were treated more humanely (which you seem to agree with). Nonetheless, I remember learning about Manzanar as a kid multiple times - we do make a big deal out it, and it is properly contextualized as "very bad, but less bad than Auschwitz", at least where I grew up.

Sounds like you just want to be up on a soapbox.
Lately the main thing that's been greatly hurting DDG's usability for me is the search results being influenced by geolocation. It's quite frustrating to see completely unrelated search results that just so happen to have my city's name in their title (especially when I searched in a completely different language). Plus I frequently use proxies which makes the entire scheme meaningless either way. At least a way to switch to non-localized results would be nice to have.

(As for my more subjective opinion, a privacy-first search engine looking at your real-world location by default might be making the wrong compromise in the first place.)

Eh, I disagree. Copyright laws are mostly bullshit anyway, and only tend to favor capital holders, who tend to buy up all the copyright they need. I would gladly see copyright rendered useless.

The peasantry hardly benefits from it anyway.
Yeah. Copyright laws in Japan are extremely strict. I would not be surprised at a complete ban on this. This is just a fluff piece like a lot of ads coming in recently.
I don't disagree that it's one point of view, but I hardly believe both examples do not have a simpler explanation: both companies no longer want APIs for third-party clients.

Elon wanted to turn it completely off and was probably convinced to ban the accounts of all the third-party clients and to try and harass the world's many weather services to pay 42,000$ a month.

Reddit has one credible third-party client: Apollo. He's always been fairly transparent about his money flow, so it's exceedingly easy for Reddit to price him out and put the fear of god into any developer interested in a Reddit client.
If this is truly a site by site blacklist, and it is truly this small, and truly limited to only the most extreme cases, you realize that even the slightest crumb of transparency would invalidate most of the complaints, right? This is why you are getting dragged repeatedly, all of the possible reasons for being this cagey about this reflect terribly on DDG. Your FAQ page is loaded with what Wikipedia would call "weasel words".

- Why can you not publish who these organizations are and what the "objective" standards they all use are?

- Why can you not notify users when they have entered a query that has results subjected to this rank modification? (And/or give them the ability to reverse it?)

- Why can you not just publish the naughty list?

- Why can you not publish anything objectively verifiable about this entire process?
Define "very seriously". I know of cover-ups, mass propaganda, antagonistic lobbying, and political inaction. I don't really know of any very serious actions against global climate change predating the 90s.

«Documentation» is always digital for me, but all my working notes are hand written and scattered over my desk at work. Every so often I have to clean up the mess and go through my notes.

A tangent but I think journalism is going to start to actually mean something. Historically I think it's been most problematic bullshit, and especially in the past few decades it's pure propaganda and greed and profit. But in an age where we can't trust literally anything we see, it's the reputation of specific humans we'll trust, and we'll have to trust that if they say they saw something, it was real. We'll start to see "real" journalism.

> they'll just buy crude oil elsewhere.

Ahh thanks, that directly answers to my original question, which apparently wasn't appreciated. It makes sense now.

I'm wondering if there's some interesting metric that can be extracted from comment chains like this, where some semblance of a conversation continues with completely separate people.
While people are talking about use cases, I've been shopping for exactly this. My Nissan Leaf's DC-DC converter that drops the HV traction battery down to 12V (well, 14.6V-ish) to supply the regular vehicle electrics is apparently 1kW capable, as the heat pump needs a lot of power. If you turn the climate control off but leave the car on, then you can apparently pull 80A or so from the 12V "battery" perfectly fine as the DC-DC converter will keep it supplied. This is a relatively safer way of tapping into the traction battery without having to deal with the HVDC.

With an inverter, I could then supply (some subset of) my house from the traction battery, giving me a theoretical 18 hours at 1kW in my case (less efficiency losses).
When you stop listening to what Sam Altman says and just focus on what he does, you can see the guy is a bit of a snake. Greedy power-hungry man imho.
Reddit is too big for there to be a “Reddit community”… any other online community (like HN) is probably already full of people who also frequent Reddit.
This is really well stated. Sometimes out of morbid curiosity, I’ll read one of the /r/all posts on a topic where I know the discussion is going to be reductive and generally uninformed (the example that comes immediately to mind is anything involving the energy industry - there’s not much to find beyond “hurrr durr Exxon bad thorium good”), and every single time it’s the same type of self-satisfied navel-gazing commentary totally untethered from the real world.

I still read it most days (through Apollo) but when/if this kicks in, that’s the end of it for me.
Counterpoint - most of that group paid him money for Apollo…
This is such a good idea even without Reddit's monetization and potentially blocking NSFW content. To me it seems obvious. It's also something that's actually likely to succeed and within the community's control, unlike getting Reddit to change their stance. Like, there's nothing stopping this from developing right now.

- "There won't be as many people." That's ok, probably even a good thing. 1.5-2.5 million users are more than enough, especially considering most of them are power users. I believe HN has around 1.5-2.5 million and the content here is way better than Reddit.

- "Making a social network is hard." Yes, but it's not too hard. Scaling is hard, but we're not scaling to Reddit's size (100+ million); and Mastodon has issues with scaling, but that's because their protocol is super-redundant in an effort to be decentralized (and apparently also kind of sucks). HN runs on 2 servers and uses a LISP dialect (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28478379); even though HN is text-only and Apollo would have images or videos, I'm 100% certain there are enough dedicated Reddit users who can make this a reality.

- Also be aware that Reddit's community is different than Facebook, Twitter, YouTube; they're a lot more tech-savvy, a lot more anonymous, favor NSFW a lot more, and a lot more anti-corporate. Especially the moderators, who honestly control most of the community (though it's usually a bad thing). We're going to need those moderators to prevent the Apollo social network from becoming the next 4chan (because, hopefully you understand, that's a bad thing)

There's absolutely going to be an exodus if Reddit does anything non-negligible, the only reason Reddit is even considering moving ahead with these changes is because they don't care.
No. I answered your question, do you have an answer for mine?
Yes it's this. This has nothing to do with 3rd party app operation and everything to do with generally closing the gate to the data garden.

The value of reddit's content to non-reddit entities is rapidly increasing as its monetizable use shifts from a set of signals on which to build first-party ad targeting (which they never really figured out) to generally useful llm training data.

I think it depends on what you mean by "successful". Surely multi-billion dollar financial organizations are by at least some definition successful. They are a complete shit show from a tech standpoint. They are so large they cannot effectively manage specialist developer staff outside of very narrow niches. Standardization when you've got thousands of developers across hundreds of products matters. Maybe some "successful" startup can make things work when they are small. But you'll find they start to standardize when they hit real scale.

In particular, celebrities have an additional right - Right of Publicity.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/publicity

> In the United States, the right of publicity is largely protected by state common or statutory law. Only about half the states have distinctly recognized a right of publicity. Of these, many do not recognize a right by that name but protect it as part of the Right of Privacy. The Restatement Second of Torts recognizes four types of invasions of privacy: intrusion, appropriation of name or likeness, unreasonable publicity, and false light.

https://www.inta.org/topics/right-of-publicity/

> In the United States, no federal statute or case law recognizes the right of publicity, although federal unfair competition law recognizes a related statutory right to protection against false endorsement, association, or affiliation. A majority of states do, however, recognize the right of publicity by statute and/or case law. States diverge on whether the right survives posthumously and, if so, for how long, and also on whether the right of publicity is inheritable or assignable.

Nope, the forums are not in English. The new forum's app/favicon is a yellow smiley face.

I thought Tapatalk is more like a generic mobile client addon to forum wares than being a forum itself. I remember that nagging banner when I was on XDA years ago...
Astronomy is fantastic for preventing this type of fraud.

The data is incredibly open. Anyone can download datasets from telescopes, or build their own. Papers built on invalid data can be refuted by simply pointing telescopes at the location the paper is lying about. There are very few possible discoveries or theories in an astronomy journal that would immediately impact the wider culture.

Compare astronomy to sociology, in which questionnaire results can be fabricated and are essentially unconformable without using other unconformable questionnaires. Compare astronomy to economics, which the articles can be used bolster political positions.
Archive.org is a non-profit without the capacity to serve that many requests. An excellent resource for people to use carefully, but not a treasure trove for bots to scrape down to the last bit.
Reddit stopped being the "truth" when the moderation became too extreme. It created echochamber that were mass market and strongly biased to the far-left, and with that the echochamber also resulted in a very strong bias towards American users - most international subreddits are utterly stupid because they are dominated by American interests.

Quora used to be more centrist. And it had a major boarder appeal globally. But it too has been turning towards a Reddit style moderation within the past few years.

> "The idea that peer review is enough to ensure that research is valid is perhaps not scaling well."

As others have said, this is not what peer review has ever been for, at all. It only checks for gross omissions and violations of form and syntax that are obvious to other scientists who are in adjacent fields (not even necessarily the same one). It's a relict from the times when publications were not target metrics. Peer reviewers never replicate the work. If you are a grad student tapped for peer review and you spend the time to replicate the work, you are ruining your career and your advisor will also be mad.
I'm balancing the fact that it's not as bad as I expected with the fact that it's only halfway done... Maybe I'm being overly cynical.
- they are working on a stateful API
- they are working on a cheaper version of GPT-4

Most probably this is driven by their use of it in ChatGPT, which is on fire from PMF. Clearly they're experimenting with the cheaper GPT-4 in ChatGPT right now as it's fairly turbo now, as discussed earlier today.
Not in my view. Enshittification is more about the business cycle of sucking everything dry for the pursuit of money. Users be damned. At least that's how I read it, ship of theseus is more of an interesting thought experiment but not exactly related.
> we think we right to remember, but it’s really the act of letting go

I’ve found this to be true with writing music as well. Prior to recording stuff I found I’d play stuff that I had written a lot. The act of recording lets me forget those things and write more (and usually better) song ideas.
And if you use it, you’re violating copyright. But you will find no copy of the logo in the model data. The model is way too small to contain its training imagery from an information theoretic point of view.

Honestly: HN - until it also jumps the shark, at least in this regard.

I've seen an influx of political redditors making their way here to fight e.g. nuclear power (because why not) over the past few years. I can't imagine the professionals working on protecting/pushing brands are very far behind.
No. Making a single copy for your own use is still a copyright violation. There are exceptions (fair use, nomitive use etc) but just because people are rarely sued for personal copying doesnt equate to that copying being permitted. And trademark issues, such as the other commenter generating the superman logo, are subject to a host of other rules.
If you solved all our problems, they would magically be replaced by new ones.

Paperclip maximizer is the wrong word. Let's call it the "engagement maximizer" and you have a pretty accurate statement about how our civilization will be ended by use of algorithms and eventually AI to blow up our shared sense of culture.

If you watched the conversation around Meta with Facebook and Instagram, and then later the conversation around TikTok, almost nobody cut to the heart of the issue, which is that "algorithms" are being used to make decisions about what to show people, and that the algorithms themselves have been changed subtly hundreds or thousands of times over the years to maximize engagement, until the type of engagement being maximized has made people basically crazy. The same engagement-maximizing work will proceed with AI, and it will allow the software engineers and managers responsible for developing the "algorithm" abdicate even more responsibility for genocides and for mass hysteria because they can pretend like they have no control over the algorithm.

The same irresponsible people will pocket a bunch of money for all this work and they will maximize engagement until it blows up our entire culture. And because nobody understands it except the techno-cultists, nobody will hold them accountable.

Seems like a straight attempt to kill 3rd party apps. Just like their ever more aggressive attempts to force browser users to use their app.

Ever since new reddit it's all be user hostile steaming garbage. But they have the user base and their content so the value and network effects are there even with shit UX.
Customers knowing more about the effects of decisions than the actual decision makers at a company is fairly normal. There is a reason they send out all those surveys. They're hoping you'll let them know about their mistakes.

> And yet, until much later when we understood the mechanisms and could evaluate mitigations, any restriction on industrialization based on purely speculative “existential risk” that we could neither adequately explain nor provide a factually-grounded framework for evaluating relative risks of alternatives would mostly likely not have made things better, and could have made them (and even the real existential risk, as well as experienced conditions at the time) much worse.

Really? I don't agree that strictly limiting plastic production and carbon emissions 100 years ago would have had zero or negative effect on the timeline of apocalyptic climate change or any other existential threat. It might have made us more vulnerable to natural pandemics... but it also would have slowed the emergence of natural pandemics and virtually prohibited artificial pandemics.

The only way to replace reddit is with a distributed system like aether: https://getaether.net/

Or if you absolutely want a centralized system, something community run like ao3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive_of_Our_Own

But given the absolute hostility and hate _users_ of reddit give those two sites for not banning everything they find offensive a site like reddit is just not possible any more.
Reddit has never been good for "truth". It was good for discussions for the period between the end of forum culture and the 2016 presidential election, but since 2016 the website has been increasingly moderated to the point that right-wingers, moderates and most non-US users aren't represented more than a tiny percentage, and it is a mass market appeal website.

Quora was good for more centrist and international comments, but it too has been destroyed by poor development combined with politically motivated moderation.
I think it's a sign of the times, also replicated outside of reddit, for example Mastodon. I enjoyed a solid 20 years of online discourse that was overall reasonable, and most of it not very political.

Now everything is highly politicized with a hard split across two camps where before I barely could detect the very concept of a camp at all.

There's no detectable reasonable right-wing online, it always escalates into 4chan. Hence, the "civil" people clean the place, and you'll have centrists and moderate-left remaining. Give it time and far-left will dominate as moderates silence themselves out of fear.
I actually got the OpenAPI docgen magic to work 100% all the way into Azure API Management Service such that our branded portal's docs were being updated based upon code comments each time upon merge. It really is something to marvel at. It actually worked.

That said, I didn't like the amount of moving pieces, annotation soup in code, etc. I got rid of all of it. Instead of relying on a fancy developer web portal with automagically updating docs, I am maintaining demo integration projects in repositories our vendors will have access to. I feel like this will break a hell of a lot less over time and would be more flexible with regard to human factors. Troubleshooting OpenAPI tooling is not something I want myself or my team worrying about right now.

How does one come across these bad papers in the first place, such that they must be weeded through? Maybe we need a different method of curation such that they stay below the noise floor.
