Certainly, this will kill free usage of 3rd party Reddit apps. How much revenue will be lost for Apollo when non-paying users cease using it? Will the Apollo developer be affected in any significant way when those non-paying users go away?

$2.50/user/month for Apollo usage is considerably less than the $6/user/month charged by Reddit to users directly for an ad-free website experience.

Is $2.50/month an unreasonable price for an ad-free Reddit experience? If that’s how much Reddit is being paid for advertising per Reddit user, then how many Reddit users will voluntarily pay that to use ad-free third-party apps?

This is more likely to kill Reddit Premium, than to kill paid third-party apps. Apollo is a better experience than Reddit Premium, and at a theoretical $2.50/month versus the known $6/month, would save me $42/year over Reddit premium. Sign me up.

I have a theory that a lot of us became developers after being poor teenagers who downloaded warez for $0 in the olden days.

For that reason, where software is concerned, for us the distance between $0 and $1 is even wider than the already wide distance it is for the general population.

Zig has a pretty decent LSP.

I'm not so sure a package manager is really all that essential; it can certainly be convenient but especially in the space Zig is looking at it's pretty workable without one (without complex deep dependency trees you can use git submodules or just copy a directory). Or let me put it this way: I never really missed a package manager in Zig.
It is a metric similar to a "like" on YouTube or Instagram or something.

Github does more than just "rent space for git repos". It does do that, but there are two sides of GitHub. There is the legit CI/CD Git platform side, and then there is a social network of code side. The stars are a mechanism that contribute to the social network side of github.

There are basically three metrics on GitHub:

1. Stars - Akin to "likes" on other platforms, or favorites, or hearts. They represent a thumbsup, or a soft-bookmark to find a project later. Indicates appreciation or interest in a repo/project. These are the most common form of karma or metric on Github

2. Watch - This is like following a specific repo. You can get updates when a new release is made, pull requests are made, issues are submitted, etc.. It expresses deeper interest in a project/repo because you want to see updates as they happen.

3. Follows - These happen at the account level. So you can follow an entire organization or developer and see everything they do. This is like subscribing to someone on YouTube or following them on Instagram. You want to see more projects and updates for them in your feed.

All these metrics combine into an internal "SEO" on GitHub search (and Google search). So stars actually do tangibly contribute to the likelihood of a project being discovered by strangers. Which is what gives them value.

The author also points out that having a lot of stars is often perceived as being more trustworthy of a project. This is an intangible benefit that the author was expressing he wanted to test. However, as the author stated, this is a bad metric in practice, but it doesn't mean that other people don't perceive it that way. Similar to a twitter account with a 100,000 followers, you will assume is more noteworthy/trustworthy/prominent than someone with 1,000 followers. This is not necessarily the case, which is similar to how it works on github as well. It is often perceived this way, although it shouldn't be.
Hi, congrats on your project. I've noticed some things:

- Since this doesn't seem to be made to deal with long complex prompts, I think enter should submit the query instead of adding a new line

- If I ask for something it doesn't know (e.g. spacex marketcap) I get a message explaining that the AI doesn't know that. So far so good. However, when I type into the box after that, that message changes on each keyDown.

edit: Now it seems to be down (error 429 in the console), but there is no error message in the frontend. There should be some explanation to the user :)
So you say that the current legal model is users are actually buying the hardware, so they own the hardware.

Then nintendo should provide and support everything required to give full control of the hardware to users (it intersects the matter of open source supported drivers).

You suggest that laws are missing in "free countries" and I would not be surprised: administrations of free countries don't really care about video games and let video game companies do their shaddy stuff. I allow myself to presume because they won't enforce the recycling/refurbishment of the video game hardware by their operating companies.
Please replace the editorialized headline with the actual one (Exploring Gender Bias in Six Key Domains of Academic Science: An Adversarial Collaboration)

From the abstract:

> our findings show that tenure-track women are at parity with tenure-track men in three domains (grant funding, journal acceptances, and recommendation letters) and are advantaged over men in a fourth domain (hiring). For teaching ratings and salaries, we found evidence of bias against women; although gender gaps in salary were much smaller than often claimed, they were nevertheless concerning.

i.e. out of six domains, three were neutral, one favored women, and two favored men. Guess which one was cherrypicked for the HN submission?
Been in the space about a decade. Hope this helps.

1. Pain points: most corps already have tons of agents running everywhere, usually with one or more inventory management systems already. You would have to add a ton of new value to warrant another agent install. More agents = more ways in, which can weaken the system’s security. Discovering “unknown” network assets is also a constant struggle (qualys, rumble). Plenty of vendor apps and quite a few elastic search dashboards. Agent-based asset management is a very crowded space already.

- SBOMs: rarely see it, never seen it in third parties

- antivirus: rarely see it on linux servers outside of perhaps clamav scanning user uploads. You call monitoring systems for servers “IDS” intrusion detection systems. These are different from virus scanning and usually allow for runtime detection and alerting of anomalous behaviors.

- golang malware: all malware (shellcode included) must make syscalls to use system resources from userland. Your IDS should monitors syscalls. There’s no issue here.

- every medium to huge company I’ve been at has run Linux servers for everything, with AD boxes being the rare exception when the company uses windows clients.
Looks really nice. Also, excellent name.
Nearly twenty years ago I had a little server farm of old PCs. Two or three Pentium-133s, one dual Pentium Pro 200 machine, and my pride and joy, a Pentium 3 running at 600 MHz. I was trying to get familiar with Gentoo and to make recompiling everything all the time more bearable I set up distcc so my P3 could do most of the work. It worked very well!

But after a few weeks every Gentoo box in the house started crashing regularly. It took me a while to figure out what was going on: one of the slower machines had developed a single-bit memory error and was sharing corrupted .so files with all other machines.
> This declaration uses the word "privacy" once, and doesn't define it - and that's what we're seeing here and elsewhere.

A strange proposition considering this is the current state of affairs for the current generation below age 25 - casual sex and uncommitted relationships (Lisa Wade).

60% of this population cheat habitually. Dating is down 60%. First-time marriages end in divorce almost half of the time, and around 80% of the time to the next marriage. Lifelong singlehood is extrapolated to be the most common relationship option in the younger generation.

Most literature on the topic of the younger generation notes that sex has been robbed of all intimacy and is about meaningless and anonymous masturbation with another's body. Relationship skills, intimacy skills, emotional intelligence are in serious decline (Twenge, Campbell, others).

This is does not seem like the hallmarks of a generation with an increased capacity to generate and form relationships of any type! Could we have possibly got something wrong with this initiative?

The author seems to have forgotten to ask what the next step in human evolution thinks about their situation!
From the conclusion, a message that's applicable today:

"To date, AI has been held back, we argue, by the need for a single lab, even a single researcher, to fully understand the components of the system. As a result, only small minds have been built so far. The WWM argues that we must give up this dream of full understanding as we build more and more complex systems. And giving up this dream of full understanding is not a strange thing to do. It is what has always happened in other fields. It is how humanity has made its most complex things."
This is important. I think this is not well understood and these misunderstandings lead to misplaced anger about things like "government spending" and "student loan forgiveness" or government fiscal responsibility in general.

In 1988, you could get an XT clone for about $1000-$1500 in today's dollars or a really nice 386 clone for the equivalent of about $5000. A fully loaded fast 386 clone with monitor, 1 Meg of RAM, and hard drive would be about $7000.

Yes there are plenty of companies out there who will happily run their business with quantity of sales over quality of margin, however larger companies such as Swatch usually need a larger slice of the pie to make it worthwhile.
Personal computers were considered just toys with very little real-world value for a long time too. And you might be limiting your thinking with VR/AR. Do you or anyone you know use face filters? That's AR. Lots of the rising generation are already stoked in VR/AR. Also Meta Quest 2 has sold 15 million headsets, that's hardly something to scoff at.
> Aside from lack of community I’d say the biggest nuisance is error handling in nearly everything including allocations. I get that allocation can fail but the vast majority of programs I write, I just want to panic on an allocation failure (granted these aren’t production programs…)

The C strategy for this was just to wrap malloc() with something called xmalloc or malloc_nofail or whatever:

void *malloc_nofail(...) {
void *res = malloc(...);
if (res == NULL) {
abort();
}
return res;
}

(Or whatever.) The same would work in Zig, I think.

I'm not in Silicon Valley, but I am in tech, and I notice myself slipping towards this as well.

The good news is, the number of people who actually haver ever followed the URL found on the bottom of the license plate is probably pretty darn minimal.

I think the tech is not there yet, but imagine you could do everything you can do with a smartphone, but without holding a physical device, except maybe for input. Your entire vision is the screen. Virtual objects are seamlessly embedded into the environment. It's unobtrusive and ubiquitous.

I think that is the endgame for AR. And I think it'll be the next major platform, replacing smartphones.

Unaligned intelligence is dangerous. You don't need a Sci-fi book to realize this, just a history one.

Our history is replete with examples of the slightly more technologically advanced group decimating their competition.

Humanity is directly responsible for the extinction of hundreds of species. Not because of any particular malice or offense, simply that our goals didn't align with the interest of any of those species.

Just looking at Humans alone, Unaligned intelligence is potentially catastrophic even when the advantage gulf is fairly low.

When the advantage gulf is large, it is potentially genocidal.

I confess that I find a dark humor in how many self professed "great drivers" find these features a nuisance. All the while so many people are completely unaware that they have these, as they have never activated. Hard for me to square those pegs in a favorable way.

Which, yes, being a great driver means you may be pushing close to limits while still be completely under control a lot. I just don't have a strong prior for that view.
> I like the idea of an AR experience for enabling better work environments

Same here, but I don't think the ecosystem/market is ready for serious work, it's all too brittle and the UX isn't nearly there yet. So I'm waiting.

> Where is the market? How many of these things sell? What do people actually do with them?

But I do own a HP Reverb G2, mainly for playing simulation games like flight simulators, and racing simulators. Once you get used to having a spatial understanding of the environment because of virtual reality, it's near impossible to go back to using traditional monitors against. The immersion is 100x better and your skill increases as well, just with a VR headset (in the genres I play).

But outside of simulation gaming, I have 0 use cases for VR, it's basically a fun toy at this time. But I think probably in the future there will be more use cases, but remains to be seen.
Was expecting you to protest but really it wasn't my intention to stereotype you.

I have a Bsc Neuroscience myself but I guess not up to date enough. All I'd heard about Paxil / paroxetine was all negative yet for me it does make a little difference without any side effects at all. Not numb, not gaining weight, although I am curious about what you mean by "being useless"? I feel that way as well, but it could just be the depression. Modafinil helps.

Admittedly I still feel like total shite most days and cry and have very dark thoughts more than I'd like to admit.

Regarding insomnia I thought I knew all the treatments (and tried them, and they didn't work) until I was prescribed Trazodone. Did nothing for the depression but does give me 8-10 solid hours of sleep.

Klonopin I get myself on the black market and it certainly can kick your ass but don't see how that helps against depression since it's mostly an anxiolytic?

The only things that really help are illegal and I guess it just gets me more down in the long run, so round and round we go.

Will def check out your theories & references, thanks for that.

I guess the market isn't there because most of the devices kinda suck. They are bulky and ugly, glasses compatibility is not 100%, some people still get vertigo. Those devices are not attractive to the buyers at all IMO.

I'm kinda curious about the Apple VR headset - I expect it to be marketed more towards creative professional audience and less towards gamers. The few VR games I've tried have been unimpressive, but maybe there is some future for this tech in other areas?
Multi-ton vehicles capable of moving at highway speeds are dangerous and kill roughly a hundred people a day in the US[1]. So whether these changes are driven by regulatory capture or not it makes perfect sense to tightly regulate automobiles. Personally I think consumers should be free to decide things like seatbelt and airbag use but if they drive on public roadways they should not be allowed to make cost/benefit tradeoffs that decrease the safety of those around them.

> small, cheap, runabout electric vehicles could become very popular

Agreed that's a promising area. It's possible that the increasing regulatory burden on cars may drive an increase in low-speed vehicles such as neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV) for use cases that do not require more than 25mph/40kph.[2] Since they are exempt from the vast majority of new automobile regulations that makes them comparatively much simpler and more affordable.
