Discord is tomorrow’s Reddit, except it’s even more siloed and it can’t be indexed.
Jest on jsdom is just terrible though. It's a fake browser environment that acts like no browser that your users use, so the tests are far less meaningful that if you used a real browser.
If everyone does it then maybe it isn't stupid? Your argument isn't a valid one.
> As long as companies want us to be able to see their content, there will be ways to extract it without the DRM gunk.

But it is a federal felony to employ those ways to extract it without the DRM gunk. That's the point of the DMCA: where DRM mechanisms fail, the law kicks in.

It's kinda like gun control. Gun control is a good idea not because it prevents a sufficiently motivated person from obtaining or making a gun, but because it vastly reduces the market for gun buyers and helps solve the "gun availability problem": mass shootings happen because there are so many guns around it isn't hard for a crazy person to get their hands on one. The Sandy Hook shooter used his mother's legally purchased rifle.

If piracy tools are extra super illegal, and people start visibly going to jail for making, using, or distributing them, then that adds friction to the act of piracy that will make simply paying for the product the easier option. That's why anticircumvention laws exist.
Ironically (and I'm not suggesting this is you), many folks who support such an approach (Elon included) balked at the idea of shutting things down during the height of Covid to reduce unnecessary deaths as a result of Covid (for example, hospitals being unable to help patients due to being overwhelmed with high Covid case counts).

I for one agree though, if self-driving can reduce deaths on aggregate then that's a good thing. I hope that self-driving cars give better signals to pedestrians though (maybe emitting noises less startling the car honks) - I think this would vastly improve the safety when a self-driving car is navigating a parking lot or busy downtown roads.
>If a field accepts P=0.05 as significant it means 1 in 20 results can be false positives just by random chance.

That is not the correct interpretation of a p-value. See the ASA's statement on p-values.[0]

>Researchers often wish to turn a p-value into a state- ment about the truth of a null hypothesis, or about the probability that random chance produced the observed data. The p-value is neither. It is a statement about data in relation to a specified hypothetical explanation, and is not a statement about the explanation itself.

Moreover, while it's fine to suspect that p-hacking took place with p-values just under 5 percent, it is merely a suspicion and nothing more. Throwing out p-values you don't like without further evidence is a different sort of violation of the methodology; it is like p-hacking in the other direction.

>The right threshold should really be an order of magnitude lower.

This is false. Again, see the ASA's statement.[0]

>Practices that reduce data analysis or scientific infer- ence to mechanical “bright-line” rules (such as “p < 0.05”) for justifying scientific claims or conclusions can lead to erroneous beliefs and poor decision making. A conclusion does not immediately become “true” on one side of the divide and “false” on the other. Researchers should bring many contextual factors into play to derive scientific inferences, including the design of a study, the quality of the measurements, the external evidence for the phenomenon under study, and the validity of assumptions that underlie the data analysis. Pragmatic considerations often require binary, “yes-no” decisions, but this does not mean that p-values alone can ensure that a decision is correct or incorrect. The widespread use of “statistical significance” (generally interpreted as “p & 0.05”) as a license for making a claim of a scientific finding (or implied truth) leads to considerable distor- tion of the scientific process.

In short, these things often require a strong statistical literacy to interpret, which most people complaining about p-hacking do not possess.

If I have this right, you think academic signatories are being manipulated by OpenAI and Anthropic, who in turn are being manipulated by the major cloud players, all to sell GPUs?

Setting aside the plausibility of this degree of coordination, I don't even see the alignment of interests. What does Google or Azure care of whether they sell GPUs to quasi-monopoly or a bunch of smaller competitors? In fact, isn't the standard economic argument that monopolies underproduce, so competition should if anything sell more GPUs? Meanwhile, promoting doomerism seems pretty risky for the GPU business - they have to promote it just enough to get hype and regulatory capture, but not enough that their ability to buy and use GPUs is actually restricted. Seems like a risky bet for a corporate exec to make, unless they can really control the doomers with puppet-like precision...
Hello! Hamel here, author of the original post. I'm surprised to see this on the front page of HN! Anyways, feel free to AMA!
Apples/oranges: NewPipe is a full YouTube client that can download videos, whereas yt-dlp and its frontends are downloaders for a myriad of websites that include YouTube. You can, for example, download video from Twitter, Reddit, Twitch, etc. in addition to YouTube using yt-dlp/dvd/etc.
I have never heard that there would be legal basis to refuse registering a name because it's duplicate.
Sorry that this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but I think it'd be helpful if you described what your product is: I agree it's a good idea to list its features and targeted use cases, but those are descriptive properties that don't say what this is.

Sure at the end of the day the only thing that matters is if my use case is handled, but after decent effort I was unable to determine that for myself. The problem is that there are a lot of different things that have the properties you've described, and several of my key requirements are not entailed by your description.

As an example, I remember seeing a product that takes a command line tool, inspects the available flags, and produces a UI that lets you fill them in visually. I believe this has all the properties that you have used to describe your product (turns backend code into a tool anyone can use), but I suspect that Onu is different in some essential ways.

Though fwiw for my personal use case I'm hoping for something lighter-weight. It's great you offer a self-hosted option (exposing this stuff to a third party is a non starter for me and I suspect many others) but "self-hosting" connotes mental burden to me, vs other options in the space which are not exactly "hosted" in any sense. I think maybe I'm not really your target customer.

Anyway, I wish you luck! I'm happy to see more competition in the space.
For what it is worth, yt-dlp rejects videos that have DRM (official Vevo music videos, etc).
A few threads have been merged into this one, so some of the comments were on submissions that linked elsewhere.
One trick that works better now than at first is that if you need to fallback to CJS for a config file for a CLI tool because it doesn't yet understand the ESM loaders in Node you can just give individual CJS files the .cjs file extension.

I like ESM being the default for .js (which is what "type": "module" mostly does) in a project and then using .cjs files sparingly when necessary (which seems to be mostly just config files for build-time/dev-time tooling with older CLIs today using deprecated loading APIs). That better reflects which is the "present" of JS rather than its past and no need to worry ever about the .mjs bandaid file extension.

Apologies. Having some platform issues.
Canada is already like this. Half the package is covered in pictures of rotting lungs, disgusting gums, etc. There is no unique branding on any of them, and they taste nothing like the American equivalent. The only other thing on them is the brand in black text with a white background, and it's not even a custom font, and there are no logos. Every pack looks the same.
Wonder if this is an overly literal mental translation of a French idiom?
Could you just massage the text and convince ChatGPT its from elsewhere?
Ok, we've taken Rust out of the title now.

Let's talk about the specifics of the project now please.
Good luck. News is the API fees are going to destroy Apollo.
I never said they are synonyms. What I am saying is we are acting on spam and not misinformation. We do not have a misinformation/disinformation/truth/lie detector or whatever you want to call it. We do not evaluate individual stories or narratives for truth and never have. We are not an "arbiter of truth" in any way. We did not go looking for anything Russian or for any other country in particular. We did not go looking for any narrative at all. And highest level as I quoted from the News Rankings page, "we don’t evaluate or otherwise take into account any potential political bias or leanings of websites in our search result rankings."
Whether its an LLM or AGI doesnt matter. We are actually dealing with belief. If people believe that a dumb computer parrot is in fact intelligent and capable of reasoning, they will use it as such. And that is the problem.
> unless you believe that AI can't possibly pose an existential risk within the next couple decades or so.

I believe that AI can't possibly pose an existential risk in the next decade or two. I believe AI poses a great risk, but an economic one, and not an existential one.

> Actually I'd love to know what your estimate actually is for AI becoming an existential threat

My estimate is: never. At least not in the form of some superintelligent AGI.

The purpose of an API is the agreement, more than the access. You can always reverse engineer something, but your users won't be too happy when things randomly stop working, whenever reddit chooses.
Yep, Reddit has reached the enshittification stage as a company

I abandoned DuckDuckGo during the Tank Man fiasco, but recently started giving it a chance every now and then. The fact that some page loads figuratively take a literal god damn eternity in Firefox on Android (I'm talking double-digit seconds) put the kibosh on that, Google is still instantaneous.
Cautious fear cultivation messages like these means nothing, nothing at all, just fluff, just some irrational blind bits, just the last conservationist go-to fad.

Fear has only one constructive purpose: be conquered. Will AI potentially transform things? Probably. Will people suffer in the process? Most probably. Should we stop the AI process? We can't. We couldn't stop industrialization, or cars, or capitalism, or electricity, or pollution, or climate changes, so we won't stop AI.

What will happen? As usual, we will go all the way through the process, we'll maybe loose ourselves in AI, or we'll find a way to conquer, adapt and win, as we usually do. Or we won't. But no matter how loud fearful voices are, in control and in the know people never really listen, quite the opposite. In the meantime you can invest in your fears and become a prepper, an AI prepper that is (whatever that will be), an entirely new business opportunity!
Out of curiosity I tried a bunch of different ways to trick it with no luck.
Rivos also has been regularly showing up with talks in RISC-V events.

Whatever they're developing, they are doing in secret. Based on them having their strong teams, we can expect a very high performance RISC-V implementation.

I'll bite. Why is it unethical? As for its being unscientific, I'm also curious as to what standards of evidence people think are appropriate to biographical and literary-historical matters.
Can't they pull the data from archive.org?
An enacted law is not "propaganda", it's the law. You can ignore all the fluff around the factual statements if you like.

The number is only intended to be used by government entities. The law restricts usage to census and communication with government entities (as well as already established tax-related use).
What a poor timing for something like this.
Well, for browser tests I use Selenium.

My wife grew up eating overcooked pork chops, and not liking them, but a pork chop at 145 feels uncooked to her. Academically she says she knows it is safe, but that still won't allow her to eat it.
from some of the numbers I've seen.

new reddit is only 11% of total users, old reddit is only 12% at this point
Gee, it's almost as if everyone is trying to put the shiny new technology in their product because there's a hype/FOMO cycle going on. Remember when blockchain was gonna be in everything?

Lots of attempts will be made. We'll see how they pan out. The fact that attempts are being made does not mean they will all succeed. A lot of it could backfire. I would bet good money there are CEOs out there right now contemplating firing their whole support staff and replacing it with ChatGPT. And I would love to know who they are so I could short their company's stock.

I suspect API users are the much more valuable users to Reddit, the users that generate or moderate content, can afford to pay for apps, or tend to be ad adverse. Those are valuable to Reddit or advertisers.

Both camps have really weird blind spots that lead them to make rather counterproductive suggestions. One camp thinks about 'alignment' (which has serious risks if pursued naively). In the other camp it's the obsession with 'transparency' - which has its own risks.

Forget about Skynet. What happens when psycho militia takes the transparent training sets and transparent architecture and uses them to train its own AI for, say, creating some very innovative chemical weapons? Too many 'AI risk' things that the doomers think about 'work' almost as well if we merely have a non-AGI AI directed by known existing crazies. Maybe we should think about how much we really want to expose to the public.
Humiliation is essential to any fascist project. You can see this in any of the statements from fascist and authoritarian leaders. They’ll emphasize how tricky and duplicitous the enemies are, how the good and honest people were defrauded, but now they’re exacting revenge.
Thanks for the kind words! Sorry the other stuff took a bad turn. I raised VC funding in 2019 as a solo founder and ended up in the relentless pursuit of product market fit after building an oss project. That plus COVID plus a baby plus not being able to raise further funding made life pretty hard and I was making fast painful decisions. I honestly had big hopes for micro and the microservices side of things. Unfortunately it was just too hard as one person and harder trying to build a Dev product around it.
The Ryzen 5800X3D has 96 MB of L3 cache, enough to fit the biggest NeoGeo or N64 games.

The Zen 4-based Genoa-X will have up to 1 GB of L3 cache! You could comfortably fit Windows 95 there...
We play with tropes based on appearances within our culture.

Consider Shrek. The story is made to subvert the trope that the ugly person is the villain, as it was in Disney movies.

But the real point isn’t some Platonic view of Beauty. It is about expectations. Like how advertisers use people wearing lab coats to subliminally feed credibility into the words of actors.

You may wish to be free of such bias, and you may even work to raise your own awareness and strive to critically examine the message of people. And let us all work towards such a world. But we should not pretend such a world exists today, despite our desires. It is a world that may exist in the future once we mature as a species.

Until that day arrives, advertisers and political movements will use our biases against us.

My claim isn’t that yudkowski is ugly, it is that he represents a trope that is being used to bias his message.
Thanks for the call out, its been updated now! We haven't pivoted, just updated the Github organization recently.
seems that text-based social media are not profitable (enough).
That sounds entirely reasonable to me but also not very far from what Altman advocated in that congressional hearing. And FWIW I suspect a lot of folks here would still see it as just a vehicle for regulatory capture, via red tape, even as it also is, AFAICT, only a first step towards preventing abuses like mass surveillance, laundering bias in credit ratings, etc.

On Google Play I see 100M+ downloads of the official Reddit app. 5M+ downloads of Reddit is Fun, 1M+ each for Boost, Bacon, Sync, and Relay. Many more in the 100K+ range. Thats maybe 10% at most.

I wonder how many power users, heavy users, or content generating users use unofficial apps. The passive lurkers are great for ad revenue, but the people who comment make the site worth browsing.
It would be cool to see that become a GIMP plugin next, I think that would be more of a direct alternative to the workflow using generative fill within photoshop.

Maybe it’s just because I don’t know the Reddit API, but doesn’t caching semi-solve the problem? At Applo’s scale at least?

I HAVE to assume there is quite a bit of overlap in Apollo’s mentioned 7 billion Reddit api requests last month…
Discord seems the most likely, it matches the subreddit model and a lot of Reddit communities already have a discord.

Obviously Discord is chat focused so not a one-to-one replacement but I am not sure that the younger generations will care.

Plus there is the possibility of discord adding a Reddit/forum like feature, since they already have the mindshare.
While this use might be common, it's far from "the whole point".

I'm not sure this is really a universal opinion. The main difference between this and every other scenario we already do this kind of trade with today, e.g. medical professionals, is whether it's another person that is, on aggregate, better. That will definitely have some sway for some but certainly not everyone. "Someone will be upset" is also not the same thing as "society won't accept it". E.g., many people are upset with medical professionals, and there are plenty of cases of them being plain worse than a random person's guess, but the vast majority of society still relies upon them.

That said I agree it has to be more than "beats average", just how much so and why that is may be wildly different depending who you ask. I suppose that's the crux of the debate, not that there is just one obvious and well-known fact about acceptance some people are missing.

I have spent the last couple of days playing with Copilot X Chat, to help me learn Ruby on Rails. I'd have thought that Rails would be something it would be competent with.

Nah it is. When something "just works" you don't learn much about how. When your graphics card driver shits itself, you learn something getting it working again. Console text editor at the minimum!

First off, we do not remove any results ourselves for political purposes and in fact we have been banned in China for many years for that very reason. What you're referring to was a temporary bug in our image search results from Bing that they promptly fixed. If they hadn't fixed it promptly then we would have taken further action. That seems hardly cause to abandon us.

That said, super slow results I can understand :). But they are super fast according to all our metrics, so something else must be going on. There was a bug in DarkReader recently causing our page to be slow that was recently fixed -- not sure if that is related. In any case, if you want to email me (my email is my profile) then we can try to get to the bottom of it.
