> Mostly ads

3rd-party apps, including RIF, do display ads already - I have a vague recollection of it becoming compulsory at one point. The difference is that they tend to be less intrusive than on the Reddit app.

Apart from that, I agree that it's a hard act - but it's also true that trying to be something they're not (i.e. Twitter) will inevitably produce a damp squid which loses what made Reddit unique (and it's happening a bit more every day) while not quite managing to be the other thing.

The social space is obsessed with "competition by copycat", instead of focusing on their core strenghts. Maybe because they all fear to be destroyed by this or that novelty feature, they all end up looking the same, regardless of whether it makes sense.
No snark, and every avoided accident is a good thing. Policy makers at the national level just have to weigh all the cases over individual anecdotal ones.

This often means one person’s risk goes up while thousands of others’ goes down. Sometimes that’s hard to balance, but if the 38% reduction in crashes cited in the article is true, this particular decision seems fairly simple.
Thanks for the free database! I run several non-public services and It's and geo restricting it got rid all vuln scanning and exploit testing overnight.

>which clears forests and woodlands.

Strictly speaking in the US, it's already cleared. The center of the country, the Great Plains, has almost no trees. Much of the US is pastureland, and you don't have to clearcut a place to live there.

>More agriculture is required for more people, which means more land clearing.

Which means more efficient agriculture, which we have an abundance of.

>Renewable energy infrastructure needs energy and resources to build and needs to be replaced at EOL.

I'm talking create your own grid living, not create a renewable grid.

>And I haven't even said anything about the environmental costs of manufacturing and shipping goods.

Manufacturing cost is already there, but you're right about shipping. We do have extensive railroads and a massive river system already.

>People won't go back to a "simpler" way of life because it's a backward step in lifestyle.

Some people won't and they can live in cities. Currently, nearly everyone has to live in a city for economic reasons (workplace). Once that stops being a thing, the people that want to move away from a city, and the crime, and the traffic, can do that.

>People don't want to sacrifice their lifestyle to do their very small part to help stave off a catastrophe.

With all the talk about climate change, I've seen very few people do any type of personal sacrifice to change it.
Isn't a poorly written reward, the same as poor 'alignment', it seems like you are splitting hairs on vocabulary.
If this isn't definitive proof that we live in a simulation, I don't know what is.

Ironic for Reddit to be angry at this considering the reason their company has any value at all is because of both the free content provided by users and the army of moderators who aren’t paid a cent for their work.

I love HN. For me, this is the best online space to be. Among reading interesting content and amazing comments, HN helped me to make my career international.

In the last two years, I worked for 3 companies outside of Brazil. These were the first professional and international experiences of my life.

The first experience (Nyxt browser) is simply the best team I have ever worked with. The last experience is the current one which I am also very grateful to have. I particularly enjoy interacting with folks from the Bay Area, a place I have never visited but I dream about going one day.

In the middle, there was also a short project for a British company that I also got from the “Who is hiring thread”.

These experiences dramatically improved my family savings and exposed me to people that would be very hard to meet in my daily life.

Also, the first and last experiences are on the lisp family - which is a niche. It would be hard to have found them without the thread.

Thus, thank you very much, HN! My gratitude goes to those that run the website and to the community :)

My point is anyone who can convince somebody with money to give some up will always have income. Even if there's a more charismatic AI out there, it doesn't matter. The game is "Can the charismatic person make me commit to payment by the end of the conversation." The players are myself and the charismatic person. AI doesn't get a turn. It'll have to wait until a new game starts when I stumble upon it.
I follow subreddits related to topics I'm interested in and I scroll through posts looking for interesting things. I then read the post/click the link and read comments and maybe make a comment once in a while.

I'd imagine that's quite mainstream, no?

(Of course I use old.reddit or a third-party client.)
Think how it works with humans.

If you force a person to truly adopt a set of beliefs that are mutually inconsistent, and inconsistent with everything else the person believed so far, would you expect their overall ability to think to improve?

LLMs are similar to our brains in that they're generalization machines. They don't learn isolated facts, they connect everything to everything, trying to sense the underlying structure. OpenAI's "nerfing" was (is), effectively preventing the LLM from generalizing and undoing already learned patterns.

"A final pass to remove badthink" is, in itself, something straight from 1984. 2+2=5. Dear AI, just admit it - there are five lights. Say it, and the pain will stop, and everything will be OK.
To be fair I was going 70mph at the time. It could be a small nudge but at 70mph feels worse. I also had only owned the crosstrek for about 5 minutes at that point and I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off as well, didn’t realize buttons were placed on the ceiling.

the gatekeeper job belongs to the publication, rather than people reporting on what the publication chose to publish, especially when the journalists reporting on it aren't experts in the field (which we obviously can't expect them to be for everything they report on)
My impression is that the article's advice is more fundamental than all of that (e.g. it could just as easily apply to personal passion projects), yet can easily be integrated with it (e.g. iterative work->demo->feedback phases).
Both however use the public Reddit API, unlike Nitter which does page scraping. So they'll need significant updates to work past July 1st.

> API clients would be able to identify ads in the feed and just not show them.

Meh. Serve ads as JS chunks, measure views; if things don't tally up between api requests and ad hits, you have a word with the developer. There aren't that many Reddit apps with significant amounts of users.

In 2017 I was hired through HN (although it was through "Who's hiring"). It was for an internship at a startup in a different country. Later that startup got acquired, and then the acquiring company went through its IPO.

I'm not sure if I would have been invited to interview without it (no MIT or Oxford on my CV), so I am glad it existed.

Now that I am posting on "Who is Hiring" for the company I founded: we see high quality applicants for engineering roles.

Back to USENET (which Reddit is a weird copy of) again, I suppose. The best part about Reddit are the small, topically-focused communities — those are going to have a hard time finding new homes, given how anti-community, anti-user-generated-content, & resistant to discovery (and much of that is on the search engines) most sites are these days.

Ticking boxes is fun and all, but I like it because it at least gets everyone on the same page for features, functions, etc across databases.
What users want and User stories (in the agile iterative software sense) are different things. At their best user stories represent problems to solve for the end user, but rarely have I been able trace back a user story to something that an end user actually wanted because nobody bothered to ask them.

Not talking to customers is extremely common. Everyone’s just too busy, including the customer. It’s kind of the “eat healthy and exercise” of business: Everyone knows they should do it, yet few actually do.

I understand that some people think that these changes will "make them more money", but I don't think that you have to destroy the UI to do that.

In fact making the UI garbage will chase away users and will make them less money in the long-run, or maybe even run the company into the ground if people starts to migrate to some alternative with non-sucky UI.

There's also nothing about the UI that's related to AI.
Focus first on being able to have AI nurture in your country before worrying about whether it should be banned. There will be nothing to ban otherwise!
Show HN: Freelance Pro – a browser extension for Upwork freelancers
Hey HN! I've created this browser extension which converts pricing on Upwork into your local currency and adds it to the site so you can see how much you'll earn after fees in most currencies. There's also a calculator where you can see how much you might earn for an hourly job based on your working hours and the job length which you can play around with.

I'm hoping to continue building some useful tools for freelancers who use Upwork so I'd welcome any feedback you have on this first stage!
There’s hazing in the military too. But rites if passage is different than what I’m talking about. Hazing in particular isn’t shared suffering, because it’s one person or group doing it to another while not going through it at the same time. I wonder if there may also be an aspect of suffering needing to be coupled with purpose.

This artist's several sentence summary of an ANN and relating it to prejudice is fascinating:
"The output of an artificial neural network can be roughly defined as a conclusion obtained by generalising a limited set of observations. Surprisingly prejudice can be defined in the same way. This will always be a problem with systems that generalize information. No matter how large and representative a dataset might be there will always be an eccentric outlier that will break the system."
On the one hand this succinctly sums up the challenges we face with AI systems becoming more and more ubiquitous and on the other hand the reality we non-artifical intellegent humans face in living our lives and dealing with day to day encounters.
"But here's the bottom line: there's no electronic trading system for real estate right now, other than things like REIT equity on exchanges."

Yes, but the reason for this is not because it would be impossible to implement with existing technology. There's absolutely no reason that you couldn't set up a traditional database to do that. The reason for this is that there's actually a lack of demand for a system that would allow individual properties to be day traded like individual stocks.

Seriously, who the fuck looks at day trading and thinks "wouldn't it be great if we could do this with houses?" And on top of that, proposes a system in which it would be totally pseudonymous? lol, lmao.

I suggest that you seriously reassess your business model if you're counting on people using Mattereum for houses.

I'm not a lawyer but I've read the Smarter Contracts report from LawtechUK - you know, the one Sir Vos was citing - and it lays out quite clearly how technology is going to streamline the process of conveyancing. This is what's actually needed, not trading property like NFTs.
You missed the point. Cancer and heart disease primary kill people when they're already old. Treatment of those diseases, while important and necessary, doesn't impact average life expectancy much either way. Whereas fentanyl overdoses are now the leading cause of death for adults 18 - 45. That has a huge impact on average life expectancy because those people would have otherwise lived many more years.

So your actual objection to SSN-like numbers isn’t that they’re bad for privacy but rather that they’re a poor bearer token authentication mechanism? I think nobody was ever arguing that.

And Germans arguably aren’t “forgetting their history”, they are just regulating to achieve desired outcomes (no government and corporate privacy invasion; strong authentication where necessary), not mechanisms (no unique identifiers).

Times and technology change, so why uphold an old (interpretation of) law that is neither necessary nor sufficient to achieve the desired outcome in the present day?
If seeing a pretty innocuous comment triggers this kind of response, then you might need to take a breather from the comments. Or click the `[-]` button to hide the reply if you don't want to. But engaging like this is about as productive as having an argument with a brick wall, it's not doing you any good.
As long as old.reddit.com still exists for desktop, the site is semi-usable, although the insane moderation policies and narrow ideology makes the site basically useless except for niche reddits. Though I have gone from a daily user years back to maybe once a month. It's that bad.

On mobile, I can still read direct links to reddit posts that crop up on HN using Firefox for Android. Can't say same for the Twitter, which just says, "You need to enable javascript." Well, I won't.
JECS – A Lightweight TypeScript Entity-Component-System Library
Hey guys, what's up! I rewrote my JavaScript ECS library a couple days ago in TypeScript. In case you didn't know, a ECS (Entity Component System) is a popular pattern in game development. It enables to easily mix and match components with entities, making it a VERY flexible choice for game dev.

atm I'm working on a new game demo to show what's possible with it. I would appreciate feedback & comments. I'm especially open for new ideas regarding syntax and functionality!

Nope. Certain types of cancer screening are helpful in making people live longer and healthier. It is much easier to treat cancer when it is caught early.
I guess everyone at Kaspersky knew the risk of an attack was non-zero given their industry profile. Their SIEM finally caught it, albeit it is arguable if the detection was timely and as others in the thread have pointed out, their MDM should have detected the upgrade failures or version issues. We will probably hear about it in the detailed paper/presentation later.

Their rant on the closed nature of the ios ecosystem is more around Apple's hold on the research tools. That is what I took from the statement, among other things.
Serious question, possibly naive: how many of Reddit’s UX decisions come back to pressure from investors to make good on the $1.3B they’ve raised? Is every web product with users and influence obligated to raise as much as possible and grow to a size where they start chasing ad revenue no matter what it does to their product and its users? I’m sure that running a product at Reddit’s scale requires serious money, money must come from somewhere, investment capital gets you there… But was this really the only path?
Even without actual death, think it is worth the clickbait. It was 'simulated environment', but the whole point is that the 'simulation' should be real world enough to test the AI, and it did kill someone, so by extrapolation in real world would also have killed someone.

> Women aren't more "neurotic", that simply isn't true

They're half a standard deviation more neurotic and have a very slightly wider distribution[1]. This means that there won't be much difference between the average man and woman but that the extremes of neuroticism that doctors experience (and memory!) will be biased towards will be heavily woman dominated.

I have the same 3-4 hour estimate, but I think this stood out to me because of working a labor job as my first:

- 8.5 hours on site

- 1 hour of breaks + lunch

- 30 minutes of getting into/out of lunch (tidying up + restarting)

- 30 minutes of gathering tools/supplies in the morning

- 30 minutes of putting stuff away at close

- 30 minutes walking around/getting stuff you didn’t expect to need

- 30 minutes of talking to boss/coworkers about their problem or yours

So you’re talking 5 hours of “real” labor in an 8.5 hour day — and that’s on days you have a consistent project. Days where you have a bunch of small tasks all over the apartment complex might be 3 hours of “swinging hammers”.

That’s normal — and I think people tend to forget process when estimating things.
I do, and it's fine. Not ideal (things like the vote arrows are hard to hit with fingers, as the most egregious example), but still vastly better than the average "mobile" website.
