Fifteen years is a long time in software but a blink of an eye in the world of infrastructure. A decade of Starship development has created a missile that blows up when launched. I'm sure they'll eventually get to orbit, but they're a loooooong way away from anything that the FAA will allow to operate for regular passenger flights near cities. And that's ignoring all the logistics involved in creating a profitable passenger service.
So they should double down on the thing they've been advocating for decades as the obesity epidemic has exploded, and not look at the only options that have proven effective. That seems like an odd recommendation.

Apple takes at least 15% of that, or 30% depending on the developer's revenue, leaving $2.55 or $2.10.

I hear gunshots a few times a month (not always violent, sometimes just drunk partiers who think it's fun. lol, oops accidentally killed a person in their bed). Three murders in one year, on the same corner, two blocks over.

I live in a "nice" part of town. Things are relative indeed.

Also, never lock my doors, never had issues. Neighbors are unfailingly helpful.

Will find people passed out in their cars nearly daily on my way to work, on drugs. If they wake up, they'll mumble politely.

Weekends, roving hordes of motorcyclists - teenagers with dirt bikes and quads - will run up&down the empty streets. Sometimes they hit our street, sometimes not. I'm not making this up. It's fucking mad max.

Trash pickup is excellent, twice a week, large bins. No dog shit anywhere. Very little littler. A few blocks over, somebody dumped some appliances in the creek bed. Free junk drop-off center is two minutes further.

My kids walk everywhere, get coddled and spoiled by their neighbors and strangers constantly. At school, they'll get alice training, you know, teaching toddlers what to do when a gunman enters their classroom.

This country is depraved, a stench is wafting over it.
I have a somewhat shallow understanding of LLMs due basically to indifference, but isn't "pick the most likely" literally what it's designed to do?
There are similar tools to this but this is nothing like Lambda or CF Workers. Lambda doesn't do anything remotely close to generating frontend UX for a script.
I don't totally disagree, but it's tough to imagine a scenario where building and driving a new electric vehicle of the same capability as my 1988 Bronco is more climate friendly simply continuing to drive my Bronco a few thousand miles a year.
Made it to 3 fingers and then couldn't advance as my phone interpreted a 3 finger swipe as a screenshot. I'm counting it as a win since I learned a new feature of my phone!
> It's pretty weird to claim that providing articles with the information that supports the points I'm making is an agenda.

The problem is that you're presenting the problem as very one sided while it's clearly contested at minimum. This + the fact you're Russian is making it easy to guess whose agenda you're pushing.

> There has been no evidence that Russia's war in Ukraine has been negatively impacted by the sanctions

It's difficult to get neutral data. We have data from Kremlin, but it would be dumb to take their word as true.

An unconvential data measuring emissions suggest that Russian industry is in decline: https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/russias-economy-suffering-...

> This is an absurd idea given that the west accounts for only 20% of world's population

I guess you're intentionally "forgetting" that the west amounts to 50% of world's economy. Being sanctioned by half the world's economy has likely negative consequences.

> and there is no evidence that there's a greater crisis in Russia than in Europe right now.

We have only little evidence unfortunately, since as stated above, we simply lack reliable data. There are a few tidbits which might suggest that the economic picture is not that rosy - the emission study above, the Russian state deficits, dropping oil/gas revenues and even Putin admitting that sanctions can hurt Russian economy.

But to repeat myself, I'm ready to admit that the sanctions regime is not perfect. It's a reminder to work harder on new sanctions and to plug holes.
GDPR is likely not enforceable if you have no presence in EU whatsoever, if you have no assets in EU and no money coming in from EU.

Anything Google does with data of EU residents is subject to GDPR even if that particular service is not offered within EU, and it is definitely enforceable because Google has a presence in EU, which can be (and has been) subjected to fines, seizures of assets, etc.
Ugh that was the only good public site
The answer to this is easier (and harder) than you might think: just don't say anything.

You can get away with quite a bit just by being silent, and for longer than you'd think. A big way that people get away with things for so long is just by not answering questions. Someone says, "Is this [illegal thing] yours" and you say nothing. Now you've got to burn hours and dollars trying to prove someone owns something so that you can go after them.

You'll find domains, web hosts, countries, and employees who are all onboard with the same philosophy. When everything requires a subpoena at the highest level to move something forward, it can easily take years for anything to happen at all. Some countries are known for having slow legal systems. Stack jurisdictions with slow court systems and you can start with an 18 month window before anything can happen.

You've got a domain in Tonga registered to a company in another country, owned by a large company in another country owned by a trust in a third country. Often small countries with limited resources and archaic or corrupt bureaucracies. And where is it hosted? That's probably another connect the dots. And the site can change hands and then you have to start all over again. Are you going to refocus on the new owner or are you going to spend even more resources trying to track down the former owner?

And any of these entities may lead to nothing more than a mule, fake person, or dead person. Sure, it's someone's fault for having inaccurate records—but who? How long has this been going on? Did they know? Was it intentional? It shouldn't be like this, but it is… what do you do now? Are you going to go after the recordkeeper too?

You can do illegal shit for years or even decades if you just say nothing and respond to no one.
TypeScript and Node.js
It's not comparable to the US system, the welfare system there (and in most other EU countries) covers a lot of that. Hence the high taxes.

> Most of the platform value actually comes from future, continued use.

OpenAI should start a clone, make it nice, and train their LLMs off of it. If discussion boards have immense future value from hosting humans interacting, clearly the cost of hosting them is worth it.
Having seen Avenue 5, and also having just performed a four second web search, I feel mildly confident in saying this is interesting, because poo is indeed great radiation shielding.
If you've been on the fence about getting this done, I highly recommend it! It's a quick procedure, you're in & out in less than an hour. Mine was so uneventful I actually took the bus back home. Back at work the next day. Slightly sore for about two weeks, then totally back to normal. Aside from the other obvious benefits, just the peace of mind is great.
so the ai is making bad research papers honestly i don't know if i like that more or less than if they were somehow doing amazing research
I disagree, it was tough-on-crime policies, specifically the war on drugs and discriminatory policing that caused the problems we have today. Continuing these policies will only compound the issues.

So they’re complaining that because the scams they promoted failed, they’re not getting paid anymore.
The point was - figure out what you need to charge instead of complaining you can't profit off someone else's resources.

Reddit, Twitter et all don't owe you anything. They do not make money via read-access API calls - they lose money. It's super simple...

Only a fool would build a business around a free service with no escape plan.
I met Matt several times in the 2005-2008 time frame. He impressed me as a low key guy committed to playing a long game by providing value to his customers, partners, and employees. He strikes me as principled and acting with integrity. Meeting him was one of the key reasons we adopted WordPress in 2006 as the platform for our websites.

Gutenberg can still be an error in judgement his part and as a key element of WordPress strategy.

I can have enormous respect for his business ethics and still think in one aspect of his business he has made a mistake.
It matters a lot if most of the userbase relies on these separate businesses to either read or moderate the site, as seems to be the case.
Ah yes, the mythical world where engineers are in charge of deciding which features ship instead of management.
There are about 260 work days per year. Assuming 3 weeks' vacation per year, so 245 days per year, 50,000 vasectomies in 40 years is 5.1 vasectomies per day - approximately one every 94 working minutes for an entire career.
I can't offer any hard proof (especially now the site is down) but I've cross-seeded many files to private trackers after removing [rarbg] from the filename and deleting the additional files they add. Looking at my client now, I have two episodes of a TV show ripped by NTb, the TL version of that is just the video file, the rarbg version appends [rarbg] to the filename (to prevent cross-seeding/re-uploading) and includes RARBG.txt and the infamous "do not mirror" file. Both episodes were uploaded to TL ~4 hours before Sonarr grabbed the rarbg release (which usually happens within 20 minutes or so of uploading). If you visit any of the piracy- or torrent-related subreddits you'll see a lot of complaints/comments/concerns regarding "why bother with private trackers when it all ends up on rarbg anyways?" or "why did rarbg steal *upload* from *site* while claiming it as their own?"
My long time reddit account got permabanned because I argued with the mod of a popular subreddit (I disagreed with him about the localization of a Japanese game, really trivial stuff). It was a veteran, seasoned account with lots of awards, karma, and "reddit coins" ($hundreds of dollars worth). The permaban message said I could use my other reddit accounts as long as I followed the rules on them. As soon as I tried using my other veteran Reddit accounts, *all* my accounts were immediately banned for "ban evasion". Poof.

I tried to appeal but when you're permabanned you are limited to only using a small appeal form with 250 characters maximum. I tried to bypass this by linking to a google doc. Nobody visited my google doc and yet reddit said they "reviewed my appeal" and "will not be lifting the permaban".

I'm not a troll, I never harassed anyone, used slurs, called for violence, etc. My only offense was arguing with a powercrazed mod (hated by most of his own subreddit), and my Reddit accounts are all wiped. When I try to create a new account, they get permabanned too after a day or so, so I gotta give reddit's "platform integrity" team some credit, merely using a VPN isn't sufficient. I just wish they'd treat customers who've given them hundreds of dollars the courtesy of a phone call or a human review. I really hate how some big tech companies feel they're totally above providing any level of customer support. Reddit isn't alone here. I can't even get refunded by my CC company because the coins were purchased over 6 months ago.

At least I still have HN.
Then I don't believe you have no visible deterioration.

The old Soviet Vostok did something similar with the third stage, AFAIK.
Their pricing likely includes the cost of potential ad revenue that an API call is displacing. There's no easy way to integrate ads into an API, so they just offload the advertising/monetization problem to whoever buys the content.
It doesn't matter. It is their service and the API terms are subject to change at any time. So either the API gets blocked for third-party clients, or you purchase access for a high price.

Discord, Instagram, Snapchat, Clubhouse and TikTok have decided to ban third-party apps. Twitter and Reddit decided to charge for it.

In this case with the developer of the third party Reddit client, unless he is making enough to cover the API costs, then it make no sense to build on someone else's API with little to no revenue. That is the risk.

It is no different to TapBots (creators of TweetBot) doing the same mistake.
Sure, that was also an option. Feel free to submit another PR to the maintainers!
That goes without saying. As with any model, it's garbage in, garbage out. The bias of the OpenAI developers has already been demonstrated easily by asking questions regarding political figures, and the polar responses dependent on the political party of the figure.
In America, the rat race never ends. It doesn't even pause. The race continues until you die. The system is designed to extract as much value out of employees as possible and as much money out of consumers as possible.

Living a life where one can't even take a pause is incredibly stressful. There is a reason why the FIRE movement is so popular in America. People are sick of living here.
1 is just a regional judge reaffirming existing cow conservation law with some woo woo in his decision, 2 is a non-scientist giving a lecture at a science institute which caused controversy among the actual scientists.

Neither of them really have anything to do with the science/government control other than India’s long standing obsession with cows.
Retirement is baked into the tax system for most countries in Europe. Expenses don't go over 1.5k net for most single people, including rent, utilities and more. That still leaves 1k to use however you want. You want more spending money, find someone to share the costs with.

It's the US that's the outlier in the world, and it does so at the cost of others.
Is there way to solve the puzzles without doing that?!

I'm happy to admit that India is making money as middlemen, that's exactly how the price cap was supposed to work. But given India is selling at market price, it's cutting into Russian profits. Indian profit is the same as Russian loss, so it's really silly to claim that Russian discount is "small" while India makes "big" markups.
> So they don't have disposable income, arent saving for retirement, and can't go to eat at restaurants?

There's a lot you can do when other expenses aren't eating up your take-home pay. For instance, they mention not having to own a vehicle or drive. Car ownership is a substantial expense in the US[0]. Were it not for Seattle's mostly-passable transit system, my wife and I would be a lot deeper in bills (neither of us drives).

Plus, if everyone around you is earning approximately the same thing, wealth-display-competition just isn't a thing. I know people will scoff at it--"that's what you get for trying to keep up with the Joneses"--but humans are social creatures. We want to be like people who are around us and we want to be around people who are like us. Not having that added stress is freeing. This also makes more room for social and leisure activities that don't involve going out to eat and spending a bunch of money as a result. Thus, society is more geared to providing those activities, instead of a plethora of semi-public spaces that cost money to be in.

It does seem fair to charge third parties approximately the same in ad revenue that you would have gotten from the same users on a first party app.

Then the third party app can choose between adding their own ads, or charging a subscription.
If your employer shut its doors because there was no market for its product or it didn't work all that well, you'd be OK with them not paying you for work you already did for them?
I have always wondered that about eyes in general: I'm not sure if I'm daft or not, but it seems surprising to me that animals with any intelligence look at us in the eyes.

Why fixate on the face and not, say, our hands or body, if they might be afraid of us, to determine if we are a threat? Eyes must provide a higher signal of intent, so it's surprising that even animals on a much lower level of intelligence can read our facial expressions.

I'm not sure if it's a good or a stupid question.
That, but also, movie companies are not exactly living well with great profits right now.

Disney+ is losing about $1.5 billion per quarter. Despite being very close to maxing-out the number of subscribers they will ever get. They've tried raising prices which seems to be helping reduce the bleeding, but investors are now in a lawsuit with them to determine whether the profitability projections were ever reasonable (and, surprise, Disney might have been doing some classic Hollywood Accounting to make the streaming division look better).

Warner Bros. Discovery; well, $57 billion in debt with only about $40 billion in revenue per year... or $6B in profit per year. Financial struggles and pressure from investors? Immense. Their leverage ratio is 5:1 (whereas, 3:1 is considered the maximum for even remotely healthy). It's also kind of a big deal to have $57 billion in debt when the company's entire market cap is $28 billion, give or take. Thus HBO Max had a very stiff and sudden price hike a few months ago.

And so on. The media market just isn't great right now. The Disney+ and Warner struggles are also definitely coming into play when the Writer's Guild comes knocking asking for higher pay.

Well, except that one nuclear armed nation state in the middle east.

Besides that... I think your interlocutors are trying to point out that boogey-man politics leads people the wrong way, as evidenced by 20th century European wars.
>>... it's just a complementary way of presenting the question "what is the meaning of life?"

Yes and no. The framing implies the answer and is fully in keeping with Camus's brand of admirably droll epicureanism.

Try to imagine a parallel in your own personal sphere. If a friend or loved one came to you and declared their intention to think of a reason not to kill themselves, would you see it as sign of philosophical depth?
I use AirPods Pro with aftermarket memory foam tips.

They have? I saw and appreciated Josh Triplett's post, but still find it mysterious who the original group of people were who were not comfortable with the blog post / talk and reached out to people about it. I'm not at all sure it's any of my business to know who they are, and I'm not terribly interested. I'm just saying that I don't think that part has been publicized.
Ah. I wasn't able to figure that out from the homepage, the first docs page, or the "getting started" link in the docs. Homepage has nothing, and the first two docs pages I looked at made it seem like some MVP lambda-alike.
I think it's very clear that the recent LLM boom is directly responsible for Twitter, Reddit, and others quickly moving to restricted APIs with exorbitant pricing structures. I don't think these orgs really care much about third-party clients other than a nuisance consuming some fraction of their userbase.

Enterprise deals between these user generated content platforms and LLM platforms may well involve many billions of API requests, and the pricing is likely an order of magnitude less expensive per call due to the volume. The result is a cost-per-call that is cost-prohibitive at smaller scales, and undoubtedly the UGC platform operators are aware that they're pricing out third-party applications like Apollo and Pushshift. These operators need high baseline pricing so they can discount in negotiation with LLM clients.

Or, perhaps, it's the opposite: for instance, Reddit could be developing its own first-party language model, and any other model with access to semi-realtime data is a potentially existential competitor. The best strategic route is to make it economically infeasible for some hypothetical competitor to arise, while still generating revenue from clients willing to pay these much higher rates.

Ultimately, this seems to be playing out as the endgame of the open internet v. corporate consolidation, and while it's unclear who's winning, I think it's pretty obvious that most of us are losing.

Well, also, while there are certainly lots of guns in Sweden, they are mostly long guns. A big reason gun violence is so pervasive in the US is the proliferation of pistols.
