Hey! Thanks for this perspective! You're definitely right that we don't yet have some of the enterprise level features that we need. This is definitely something we're thinking deeply about and are prioritizing these features on our roadmap!

Re: companies letting engineers SSH into prod environments -- this probably happens at very established companies more than we'd like to admit ;) Chine and I have unfortunately had to do this on numerous occasions at a previous companies. It was super stressful and not great! This is part of the reason why we're building Onu -- to provide a safe and audited way to run business critical scripts.

I'm curious about your internal tools API suggestion. Can you say more about that? What would the API be hitting?
Show HN: Reddit Firehose
Inspired by the upcoming reddit API changes, I built this to (ab)use the existing free-to-use API to view the latest content being posted in a minimalist infinite doom-scrolling web app.

Warning: despite filtering NSFW-tagged content by default, you'll probably see some things that aren't exactly office-friendly. User beware.
1,2,4,5.

Now what is your excuse for the 4,285 human-driver caused fatalities that occurred in CA alone in 2021? How about the 1,370 caused by those driving under the influence?
This isn't a useful analysis because you are describing general human challenges beyond political bents.

Also India has a completely different alignment compared to US-Left/Right and they still struggle from similar issues.
Being scared of existential AI risks does not mean we should take a knee jerk reaction.

By over-regulating or restricting access to AI early on we might sabotage our chances of successful alignment. People are catching issues every day, exposure is the best way to find out what are the risks. Let's do it now before everything runs on it.

Even malicious use for spam or manipulation should be treated as an ongoing war, a continual escalation. We should focus on keeping up. No way to avoid it.
I used external FHD displays and the result was a blurry mess with obvious fractional scaling applied (nothing was aligned to pixel boundaries)
For what it's worth, thank you for fighting this fight. Shortcut has been a fantastic tool for us as a direct result of it doing things differently and more naturally. Please don't change that!
5k nits and this close to the eye, what could go wrong?
On the contrary, they're better for browsing, but much worse for participating. Reddit's key innovation was making the site attractive to viewers who weren't yet members of the community. It used to be that you joined a community when you found it and people had to be asked to lurk — "lurk moar" even became a meme — until reddit came around and people browsed /r/funny (which was actually good once) for months before getting an account.

The downside is that every discussion feels like a race. Trying to have a conversation on Reddit or HN is vastly more stressful than it ever was on old forums — even compared to places where people were screaming at each other. You have six hours to get your point across before the thread dies. There's a tendency for unproductive one-on-ones to occur that wouldn't be possible with traditional threads.

But the upside is that Reddit is (so far) the best place to find out whether I should try the new cookies at Trader Joe's or whether some off-brand of iPhone cables are reliable.

Okay, but in that analogy it would be like if people were sounding the alarm at the very beginning of the movie before the comet was even detected. Sure, it’s possible! Maybe even likely if civilization goes on long enough! That doesn’t mean it’s a pressing concern right now!
They priced the API for LLM training and killing third-party apps is just a great bonus. If they wanted to retain third-party apps while protecting their revenue stream they could have simply created a new free API including all the ads. They deliberately chose to kill these apps.
Sorry if you think this take is "moronic" but I've gone through the exercise of cutting back usage on chatty APIs several times and it's real, meaningful work that makes a difference.

I'm not a reddit admin. Please try to engage in good faith on this website. I'd suggest reading the "In Comments" section of the hacker news guidelines if you're unsure.

Why are the other discussions leaving the frontpage?
I don't think setting the network to private would fix problems from using ".local" for your domain like the article mentioned. You'd have to disable multicast DNS on every new computer you got to make sure your local names would resolve correctly. The point is you can't count on those other names like .lan, .home, .etc to not get set up for some special protocol in the future.

That’s just silly. Bravo.
Yeah. Can nowadays also be toggled in the settings so you don't have to setup any redirect extension. Which makes me hopeful that it might not be going away but I'm not holding my breath.

Without old Reddit (and third-party apps on mobile) I'd stop using Reddit completely, I have zero doubts about that.
> But not before ramping up development and production of GPUs.

Did the GPU manufactures ever embrace cryptocurrency? IIRC, they actually tried to discourage it (e.g. by butting throttling into mass market models to discourage their use for computation).

Also, the graphs here show a long-term downward trend, with only a short-term sales blip 5 years ago due to cryptocurrency: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/sales-of-desktop-graphics-....
In theory, maybe. In practice, I've not found that to be the case.
It set off the flamewar detector a.k.a. the overheated discussion detector. Surprising as that may be for a reddit thread.

I get to repeat my joke since if the earlier explanation wasn't seen, the joke wasn't seen either.
> Toyota never claimed any of this stuff.

My wife's (ex-) 2019 Toyota CH-R had warnings for vehicles in blind spots while driving (or parking) and gave a nice feedback in the steering wheel if, when above 50 km/h, you'd steer out of your lane without using your blinker. It was very convenient and a nice security feature without claiming to be an auto-pilot.
At this point, I hope that Apple says absolutely nothing about a headset, not even a word, at WWDC and answers every question with the same "We don't comment on unreleased products."

If not, "Headset? What headset? You can't believe everything you read in the gossip blogs."
First, they will kill Apollo by squeezing it out of API costs. Once it's dead, they will buy it for cheap.

I've tried using this in the past and it didn't go well, so I suppose support is better these days. I'll give it another shot! Thanks for the tips!
Around 218 PPI is what I prefer too, but desktop displays with that pixel density are unfortunately expensive and uncommon. Only nearly a decade after Apple released 5k iMacs are similar monitors starting to become more available.
It makes me laugh that reddit's mobile site will let you view NSFW content but wont let you go to the contents of a NSFW post without downloading the app or signing in.

Reddits main function as a porn facilitator will really hamper its desire to make lots of money as a publicly-traded business.
Their phrasing is honestly fine: Mojave dropped all support for subpixel aliasing, and if you're running on a non-retina display, you notice it.

macOS quite literally is not designed for non-hidpi displays anymore.
Did you have any tips on how you got access to Claude? I do the request access but never get any email or any contact.
This is not indented as a bullet prove government authentication system, if you need this use the eID card directly.

The goal is to have a CA for (existing) OpenPGP keys which checks if the name in it is matching the one from the identity card. When you sign a PGP key to tell that you trust it you should compare the name in the identity card or passport with the one from the key, this system does it automatically.

One tricky part is that many people like me leave out some names in the PGP key. In the first implementation of the PGP signing service it only ensured that at least one first name and one last name is also in the PGP key. I do not know if this is still the case.

The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) is supporting GPG4Win since many years, see for example here:

Correct my pig anatomy, but it's shoulder, butt, and then loin, contiguously?

My understanding was that loin (pork chops and tenderloin) price a bit higher than butt, and shoulder somewhere in between the other two, or maybe just ahead of chops.

Where I'm from, chops, bacon and sausage accounted for more than 90% of your pork intake, and I'm including pork products flavoring other dishes like soup and beans.
That's the whole point of the game, no? It was what I expected. Are some slide to unlock bars "ratchets" that stay where you left them?

You mean an industry with so much inertia and hesitancy they still run mission critical systems on tech from the early 2000s?

You think they’re dumb enough to risk throwing barely functional AI in there on the chance it’ll save a few bucks when it’s overwhelmingly more likely to cost 100x more in failures and repairs?
Speaking of the periodic table. I learned during Covid that my fourth grader could memorize the entire thing when I practiced the song with her :)
Right, but the goal here is to reduce the burden by removing things that are already present elsewhere.

You could probably make the same argument for a bunch of other 9th grade topics.

Regardless, teachers won't just pretend like the periodic table doesn't exist though, they'll talk about it in 10th grade too, because it ties into a few other chapters, but the key difference is that the students won't be graded on it in their final exams.
Whereas I had 3 accounts permanently suspended for calling someone an idiot on /r/idiotsincars for "harassing speech". I have other accounts, but they took out 1 old account and a squatted account. Like, really? For using the term "idiot" on a subreddit with that very word?

I have here, Masto, and a few other places that at least have mostly sane policies. All I know is that reddit is definitely on the decline. And this whole API debacle is going to be their own Digg V4 moment.
Another option is firefox with ublock origin.

Reddit subscription is $60 a year. That removes ads.

They only license the cores, but they pair them with lower cache sizes.

So you can’t actually find any chips that match ARMs own benchmarks because nobody makes ones at the recommended spec for it.
They already did that once. They bought Alien Blue which was the top iOS client for reddit.

Proceeded to shut it down and basically fire the developer.
They don't want anything but their reddit mobile app they have had top minds figuring out how to data mine you harder and show you ads. That's it. That's their goal.
From my post

It is not sufficient if, in aggregate, self-driving cars have fewer accidents. If you lose a loved one in an accident where the accident could have been easily avoided if a human was driving, then you're not going to be mollified to hear that in aggregate, fewer people are being killed by self-driving cars! You'd be outraged to hear such a justification! The expectation therefore is that in each individual injury accident a human clearly could not have handled the situation any better. Self-driving cars have to be significantly better than humans to be accepted by society.
I don't dispute your claims, as they are subjective. I do know that I enjoy a lot of the functional aspects to C#, but I think it's something where you need to have a real discussion with your team and decide a coding style and feature implementation for your code. If your team can't all speak the same dialect, you're going to have issues. Having seniors able to work with juniors and discuss the functional aspects, as well as when to use things link LINQ, goes a long way towards a consistent and easily understood codebase. I know not every shop has this luxury, which is why I still agree with your statement.
> For practical purposes, you cannot perform code reviews of notebooks on GitHub without purchasing a tool called ReviewNB.

This is false. If you save your notebooks with jupytext, they are just plain python files that can be reviewed normally.
> the AI risk crowd get to make up any scenario they want and then say "well it COULD happen".

This is very much not what they do.
Semantics aside: I once gave it a math problem, and its hallucinations really did present as logical errors. I was a TA for several years, and it was reminiscent of the mistakes students make. Something that sounds fairly plausible, but still incorrect, with logical errors or unjustified steps.
Why wouldn’t people then just scrape using the free API?
The web went in the wrong direction when we abandoned the initial concepts of user agents, which was that the browser has the ultimate choice of what to render and how. That concept, transferred to today's world of apps would simply mean that any client like Apollo is essentially a browser locked on Reddit's website, parsing HTML (which has the role of an API) and rendering the content in a native interface. As long as the user can access the HTML for free, they should be able to use any application (a browser or a special app) and render the content however they wish.

Unfortunately with today's SPA apps we don't even get the HTML directly, but with the recent resurgence of server-side rendering we may soon be able to get rendered HTML with one HTTP request. And then the only hurdles will be legal.
Humans generally don't crash on the highway? You must live on a different planet. Every single day humans are doing absolutely batshit insane maneuvers on the highway. I can't recall a single time it's been a Tesla on autopilot that has done something that scared the shit out of me. It's really astonishing we let humans drive at all.
I definitely see Reddit going the way of Yahoo!

A slow spiral into irrelevance because of lots of small bad decisions. At one point, Reddit felt like a lone champion of free speech and conversation in a sea of buzzfeeds.

I think they've moderated the website into ruin. They've put a lot of energy into silencing certain kinds of voices/opinions while promoting others. What's left is a very liberal echo chamber. All of the seemingly worst ideas from the left are stated as fact and voicing a dissenting opinion can quite literally get you banned.

r/antiwork and r/latestagecapitalism are the most egregious examples of this that I can think of. But the attitudes held there have leaked into 99% of the other subreddits to some degree.

For the record, I lean left. But it really sucks to no longer have a town hall where both sides of the aisle can discuss things as adults.

If there's one takeaway, I think it's some flavor of:
Don't overmoderate/show favoritism. You can't have yin without yang, or salt without pepper.

What made Reddit awesome was the discourse. Maybe they never realized that this was the secret sauce. That is, the clashing of ideas. And so they didn't cultivate that. Today, outside of a handful of niche/hobby subreddits, it no longer has anything close to educated discussions.
I don’t see the issue. Apollo should charge a subscription fee that equals (cost of “reasonable API access + desired profit)/.70 and cap the number of request per user so it remains profitable.

Users should understand and I would gladly pay for Apollo per month.
This is pretty fun! It seems the starting position of your fingers is important, as is the ability to rotate the device. Interesting to see how many mobile HN users there are too.
This is an example of a real, yet illegal use of cryptocurrency (in the sense that it is used to circumvent the local laws). Also said cryptocurrency has to remain hidden like a treasure in a chest inside a secret cave, or it can be seized, and if the owner does not comply with the seizure, he can be jailed.
Huh. I thought I was the only one. The new one just seems like a dictionary illustration for Information Poor Interface.
You can’t arbitrarily decide that being ready to pay $5 a month is magically an appropriate filter under which people are not allowed to care. This argument has no substance.
> a design is something that stays forever and you see vestiges of

No, that’s not how it works - this is engineering, not Deepak Chopra. Apple is not big on backward compat and legacy and when a compromise has to be made to favor either their current line up or legacy/3rd party they always choose the former.

For instance new versions of macOS simply don’t support subpixel AA anymore because no standard Apple config involves non hidpi displays. Additionally, macOS renders via framebuffer scaling, not flexible UI scaling (with some good reasons for this compromise), but it’s a compromise and non retina font rendering suffers for it.

Correctly configured Windows and Linux offer superior font rendering on non HiDPI and Linux is easily tunable to be subjectively better on any config.
Putting on my Republican hat: it's too expensive. If we just focus on "was there bias in the output" the amount of time and effort required to analyze all the things is going to be super high. A completely-zero-trust economy would have far too many parasitical drains on productivity as we constantly have to prove everything to everyone every time.[0]

Taking off my Republican hat: which is why up-front regulation on specific actions and methods is what we need instead. Much easier for other people to spot, much more of a bright line "you did this thing, we said don't do this thing." Not at the granularity of "don't use ChatGPT specifically" but more like "these are the things we will allow and won't allow in how you process job application background checks" (we already do this for discrimination, I just think we should update it to reflect that we don't want a centralization/standardization of process so that people become de facto unemployable based on what some tool used by some company thinks about them).

[0] not to mention that looking for bias in outputs in a mechanical way is also gonna false-positive a bunch; p-hacking, but for accidentally getting sent to jail :(
Congrats on the launch! Curious how is this different than interval or windmill?

> Some communities will institute laws to prohibit such people from the tool libraries for life, but that will be struck down because now that no one can have their own tools, prohibiting him from the library leaves him tool-less and it violates his human rights.

See, this is where you're just inventing an entire hypothetical oppressive regime to support your meandering train of thought. You've decided you don't like tool libraries. That's fine, you do you. I'll enjoy my tool library that continues to be great, despite your protests that reality can't be real.

Also, that's not correct thinking. Like, apolitically, I hope your work isn't paying you for that. Thinking of ways things can go wrong is great. Skipping the part where you weigh the odds of things going wrong and how to mitigate that and then declaring "there's no way this can possibly work" is not something you should be admitting to publicly.
> Persecutions are a terrible thing — and Nazi persecution especially so — but it (and others) just fall short on the scale of atrocities, when being compared to the Holocaust.
>
> Either you don't understand what exactly the Holocaust is,

I would say it's more likely you don't understand. The Nazis committed genocide againist multiple groups at the exact same time using the same people, same locations, and same methods. To say the horrors committed on 8 million plus people fall short of the same horrors comitted to 6 million just because of their race is fundamentally racist. However, the reason you have the opinion you have is almost certainly related to the cold war, where those 8 million people plus became victims of the enemy of the west and the west focused on the 6 million Jews. Also, the overall rise of power included far more antisentism than anything else. It's understandable why you think the way you do, however, it's not acceptable to not educate yourself when given valid sources.

There is a reason Auschwitz came out with the statement. And they'll also tell you of all the other people other than Jews that died at Auschwitz. They know their history.
If Apollo stops working on my phone I'll basically stop being a reddit user.
You can turn any top-level message in a room into a Thread. I don't ever really see that used though, and I don't believe it bumps the thread when there's a new message (then again neither does Reddit).
> Geoff Hinton /left his job/ at Google because he sees the risks as real, so I think that's a tough case to make.

He did not leave his job when the bias and harm of the existing I models at Google were doing.

He did not quit his job when Google fired their AI ethics champion rather than change their behaviour

Has he had anything to say about the harm Google's algorithms do?

I really wish Ars would let Ron Amadeo go, or PiP him. Their other writers are much better.

He’s woefully technically inept, his articles often have unchecked errors like this and he jumps to bombastic conclusions like the whole Samsung ROM size issue.

Almost certainly, when I see complaints about writing on Ars, it’s a Ron piece.
Has anyone stopped using old.reddit.com that uses it and LIKEs using new reddit? I don't know what it is but when I get popped over to new reddit it's absolutely jarring.

It looks ridiculous on my 49" monitor because it's middle aligned and horribly padded horizontally.

Also it doesn't seem to be doing it right now, or maybe it only does it on mobile but that thing where they only show you a couple of comments then have a DIFFERENT post/comment section right under it drives me crazy.

Maybe I'm just a luddite unwilling to learn new things.
