I want something new.

I want a client that looks basically how reddit looks today. An aggregator.

And maybe that aggregator has a back-end that runs on a VM somewhere that I control, or I can pay someone to run an aggregator for me, or whatever.

But I want each subreddit to be federated. Run on its own server, with its own moderators.

I want to be able to make as many Reddit accounts as I want to (dozens, maybe not hundreds), and pick which ones I use on which subreddits. Some decentralized authorization / authentication scheme? Or maybe some centralized server? Or using OAuth or something? I don't really care.

I want to SUBSCRIBE to a list of Admins. If an Admin shadowbans a user, I don't see their posts. I find this incredibly useful. Other people will disagree with me about which users, which actions, should result in shadowbanning.

I think that about wraps it up. What am I missing?
If only they could start allowing queries to begin with "FROM tbl". It would allow for for much more helpful autocomplete. Also, DELETE or SELECT should really be on the very last line of the query.
Seems like these changes could be done without losing backwards compat

I see similarities, but I also see one of either:

1) Apple makes a VR headset, and it's OUTSTANDING, but it costs $1000, and that's just too much money for the average iPhone user for something they aren't going to use very often.

2) Apple makes a VR headset, and it's about the same as the Quest, and it costs about the same as the Quest, and it doesn't get that much traction because the average iPhone user isn't going to use it very often regardless of price, and the ones who would probably already have a Quest or Vive or what-have-you.

I think the guy got out over his skiis and over promised and had to strip out a ton to actually ship it. Who among us hasn't worked on a software project like that? I think his behavior since has been super admirable.
Hacker News is great for Tech news. But it's not so great at niche hobbies like reddit is.
It's not just that modern art started well before the CIA existed, but the article also conveniently forgets to mention how modern art subverted communism.

It even can't explain how "Jackson Pollock’s gestural style [...] drew an effective counterpoint to Nazi [...] oppression," because by the time Pollock got anywhere near famous, WWII was over. Perhaps that sentence doesn't even mean anything. It's just fancy words, because a counterpoint is not an opposition, but a harmonically fitting independent voice. Style over substance, as usual.
> I think this is easier

Yeah, a lot of people (voat, ruqqus, parler) have thought the same, and found otherwise...
Human-scale puzzles can still have search spaces in the billions and trillions and beyond. You want a SAT/SMT solver that can reduce the search space rapidly or a constraint propagation system that can similarly reduce the search space if you code up solutions to them.
That was a good link, but it doesn't still undermine the fact you are on a mission.
Why don't larger banks (who presumably have hedged properly) not pay a real interest on deposits at this point? I don't think it's just greed.

The current bank of america / chase interest rate on savings accounts is 0.01%. No rational buyer should accept that when a money market is yielding 5%. People are moving deposits to money markets. That should force the banks to bump up rates.

Maybe they lose more by bumping up rates than they do by keeping them the same and losing deposits but I struggle to see that.

Yes and no. On one hand, my social class and upbringing almost command that I should find beauty in Van Gogh and Picasso's works. I defer to the masters on matters I do not understand, but it's not where my personal taste and love really lie.
In 2023, does anyone who writes a compiler inherently have to know assembly?

Or even less recently...whoever wrote the first Rust, Zig, or insert <new compiled language> here?

Because don't you ultimately have to know how to make your own syntax translate into efficient assembly code?

Or is there someway these days for programming language designers/creators to avoid it entirely?
I use it because domain-specific subreddits are usually gems of advice and discussion. r/ObsidianMD, r/YNAB, etc. are often as useful, of not moreso, than product forums. Also, there are many subreddits that are simply fun... r/BitchImATrain, for instance, or even the great, highly moderated r/AskHistorians. The bigger, more general subreddits may be burning trash heaps, but there's good stuff if you dig.
I've lived and worked in the US and Germany. I've travelled all over Europe at this point (except Italy, notably).

Most of Europe is not very diverse. It took me a while to overcome the culture shock of what is essentially a European monoculture. The most diverse country I encountered in Europe was probably Spain.

What do you mean by "mexican border"? I think you are talking about preconceptions based on the news cycle.

At work in Europe, you will get weird comments if you are not a white person. I never encountered anything like that in the US.

I think vehicle sims are the best case for these things. They really do play better in vr.

Yet even so, of course you can still use a monitor, and of course that's good enough.

It's hard to imagine what a vr exclusive that couldn't be enjoyable on a monitor or TV might actually look like.

> if they needed a line to be de-energized for safety, they would deliberately short it out

An old electrician once showed me his technique for tracing a circuit in a house back to the breaker panel: open the box, expose two wires, cross them with the shaft of a screwdriver, wait for the pop, walk back to the panel and see which breaker tripped. Tada!
If anybody has an original copy of the Orange Book (and/or the rest of the rainbow series), I'd love to pick them up! Just about impossible to find these days (and no, you can't get them on amazon - that's just someone making cash re-printing public domain data).
The main thing it's lacking is a client-side merge/error-detection engine which combines all of the previous outputs.

Anything over ~100LoC and it gets sloppy including it all in the code block. Which is fine, because I don't need it in your context window if that bit is working and you're not relying on it.

Though I have gotten outputs up to nearly 250 lines from it..

Automatically feeding back code details + Traceback messages also fixes errors decently often enough.

tl;dr deeply versatile eng manager with a broad+deep technical background and startup experience

I'd love to find a position either as an engineering manager or a senior engineer on a team that can be remote or hybrid in Denver. I enjoy building things, but I actually really enjoy and I’m good at the organizational and leadership aspects of work - my past cofounders can attest to this. I'm happy to build some stuff on the way there if that's what a company needs.

I have software engineering experience all the way up and down the stack, in multiple languages (primarily Python) and on multiple cloud providers, and across a lot of different fields and weird edge cases between software, hardware, manufacturing, machine learning, and so on. I was a mechie before I was a software engineer, and I've been a lot of flavors of software engineer.

I've also started companies, been an Artist in Residence at GitHub (for the Arctic Code Vault), done operational consulting for one of Outside magazine's Best Companies to Work For, and in general my resume is peppered with unconventional cross-functional projects and skillsets and leadership roles. I navigate ambiguity skillfully, learn fast, communicate effectiely, and generally have great EQ and nonlinear/network effects.

I'm prioritizing good work relationships, culture of healthy work-life balance, comp over equity (I just got out of an all-consuming startup and need to rebalance) - I'm open to something at a larger company if the fit is right.
I could not figure out what everyone was talking about yesterday as my experience with gpt4 has not degraded at all, but I'm using a third party client via API.
That was well covered in Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. At least the "make LSD popular" part.
Those aren't very good senior engineers then lol. GPT-4 has the coding skills of an overconfident junior engineer and little else.

I agree the future of GPT-X models as coding tools is bright. But for actually doing engineering work outside coding (or even delicate changes in an existing code base) much less so.
The contra to this nonsense was state-controlled and heavily censored - as much as I like Polish school of poster, or overall "tidyness" of communal spaces in post-communist areas, it was (to say it mildly) stifling creativity.
What OS are you on? Linux? I’m on MacOS and there’s just an electron app which runs fine. Yeah maybe it’s Chromium underneath but I don’t need to know it, and can keep right on using Firefox as my daily driver for the web alongside the Logseq app for notes.
> Make childcare not a choice between living in poverty and not, and people will have children again.

If you're a resident of a developed country in the year 2023, I guarantee you that the vast majority of your ancestors were poorer when they had their children than you will be if you have children now.
Yes, this is far from the game it was years ago. Just scan any of the recent update notes to see how far this game has progressed:

Etc.
I feel like the HN hivemind likes to bash Reddit for some reason, but for me it has not been that bad. I've got small work gigs on there, discovered places where I've got to learn about stuff that I like, being updated about what's going on in the FOSS world, discover new music, etcetera.

Yes, some people in there would like to drag you into absurd and nonsensical arguments, but even in here where I do not participate that much have fell into that situation. I went into Reddit after 6 years of using Facebook which was much, much worse. Reddit made me ditch Facebook once and for all.

Not that I agree even in the slightiest about the changes they are about to make, but I'm yet to find an alternative where I could find all of the aforementioned but with a more sane support. I don't see how usenet can bring all of that all of a sudden, nor see myself using something like Mastodon and become a social media addict.
Do not be fooled by the article's date. It is another psyop
I wonder if there has been any research into what motivates an officer to approach a traffic stop in a specific way. I don’t want to jump straight to racism because not every encounter with a Black motorist included the more aggressive posturing.

When I’ve been pulled over, the officer spends some time in their car, I assume running my plates and the such. Perhaps past convictions or warrants influence the tone of subsequent interactions? Even so, it seems a good standard would be to always immediately mention the reason for the stop.

The article mentions the Advancing American Art program. You can read more about it here: https://brill.com/downloadpdf/journals/hcm/7/1/article-p971_...
Unrelated to the model itself but infrastructure, yesterday was unusable for me, getting random "too many requests sorry bout that" errors. I think 1/4 of the requests during a 3 hr period didn't make it through. Imposible to build anything beyond experimental stuff on top of a service so unreliable. Haven't tried it through Azure yet, I wonder if it is any better?
Did you build it on your own? And why are you moving away from Lisp?
IME, most times when you mention "autoimmune disease", people think AIDS. Explaining that your autoimmune disease is kind of the opposite of AIDS, that it's not contagious, are annoyingly common experiences.

And it still amazes me - personally I knew about autoimmune diseases before I ever had one. Probably because of Seal, frankly. The reality is that a large portion of any population doesn't care to learn about anything outside of their immediate lived experience. Easy to forget this when hanging out on HN and having a nerdy and wonky social circle.
I thought all medicine is evidence based as long as it’s not homeopathic or chiropractic?
I would start off with catering to the people that already are well into advanced territory, beginners can learn from them by just reading and lurking. Starting off with beginner stuff will turn off the people that are way past that. Aiming for the right audience to start with is a major challenge in any kind of community, in my opinion you can't aim high enough for the starting few 100.
And also HTMX, Angular, or Vue could take over and erase React tomorrow and no one here would be especially surprised.
You are talking about google's hypocrisy, but quizzical actually means mildly amused and not confusing or ironic.

Re your gist post, the hypostasis had a human nature from the beginning, and not just from the time he was born.
they keep putting out big updates, because every time they do that, more people buy the game.

Your friend of a friend must be mistaken.

We've been assured hundreds of times over by experts on HN that putting out quality software will lead to bankruptcy.

The only correct way to success is to build a low-grade MVP, then charge a monthly subscription, then sell the user's personal data and "telemetry." Surely, there can't be another way?
Gpt has been getting worse faster than google. I am back to reaching out to people for important questions and ignoring the internet at large.
The fact that you're calling it reactive programming, instead of MVC, shows that Facebook's psyop was at least partially successful.
>computers are already made by machines, just with a modicum of human involvement.

Then they'd be cheap as you'd essentially just be paying for the materials. In reality the process from design to manufacturing involves an absolutely staggering amount of people.
How to Swallow Pills
Kind of.. I find myself using ChatGPT more when I'm looking for information and explaination (I do fact-check if it's something I need to use, but then I gained more of an idea of what to actually search for on google).

So ChatGPT is my starting point when looking for information.
Google is my starting point when looking for articles or specific sites or subjects where I want/need the full information and other media such as video and images.
The workers who left aren't warehouse workers, and the layoffs also referenced were mostly non-warehouse workers. RTO also has nothing to do with warehouse workers. The warehouse workers have a lot to complain about, but this walkout was pretty much unrelated to that group.

Given the location of these office workers (Seattle) it's quite possible that environmental concerns are important to them. It's as wrong to dismiss that concern as it is to inject "climate propaganda" in situations where it isn't true.
Have you seen Picassos or (especially) Van Goghs in person?
It's so nice to read an article that doesn't have anything to do with AI. lol.
Llvm abstracts the "backend" which generates the actual assembly for each target machine. You only have to write a "frontend" that generates an llvm intermediate representation.

But in general, yes. To generate assembly you need to know assembly.
Why should the ratio be 50/50? Women continue to prefer to stay home with kids more than men, which reduces the number that will stay on the tenure track and beyond to the end.
It's been tried, but non every really took off except for lobste.rs, and even that has only a very small fraction of the traffic that HN carries.

There was a period when every few days there would be a 'HN for 'X'' post.
I think this is our path - become good at working with AI, for jobs or if there are no jobs, to directly support ourselves. Supposing we will be able to use tools and AI to build things and make our own means.
What I'd suggest trying is to use the accessibility of the terrain (there are such maps out there) and find the closest capital city according to that. This is basically a global travel time map and I would not be too surprised if that matches some borders rather well.
Not a standard if access requires payment.
This is nonsense, and definitely not a thing in Portugal.

One of the nice things about the Quest is you can still tether it to your computer, and it does the tethering over Wifi so there are no pesky cables in the way. App support for Quest controllers on the PC side is sometimes spotty, but I've had pretty decent luck. This is where being cheap is a real advantage, lots of developers include Quest support because they are so popular. There are advantages to being on the most common system. I've gotten a bunch of VR games out of Humble Bundles that are installed on Steam and stream to the Quest 2 no problem.
Real Time – Public Works
Usenet won't be as effective, since it lacks "karma." People love up and down voting, and usenet simply does not provide that.

That, and the the whole question of who's going to pay for a large amount of usenet traffic. Think of all those images traveling uuencoded and being stored at every hub...
Maybe the reverse is true? To provide faster performance they dumb down gpt4 (quantization?) that serves the chatgpt UI but the API is full power albeit slow.
No, Lisp did not invent if statements. They're in Fortran's 1956 Programmer's Reference Manual.
