It's great that tech helped you when you were young, but one can't extrapolate here and apply personal experience more generally. The circumstances are vastly different. In some cases there will be kids that suffer from a lack of phone, but there's still computers, there's still video games, etc, etc. There's just no 24/7 cellphone addiction consuming every aspect of their waking day (and night, under the covers) to the exclusion of all else, and to the great detriment of their mental health.
One problem is the type of user who opts to pay even $5 is probably worth more than triple the average. There’s the users who have money to spend at the top and a very long tail of non-spenders at the bottom dragging that average value down.

There's pretty much no scenario where Reddit wants to encourage 3rd party app developers to run their own intermediate "proxy" service for Reddit's API. For one it adds another barrier between Reddit and their own users, and two it would mean that there's just one more small step for the app developer to take to just implement the backend services themselves and stop using Reddit's APIs completely. I see a lot of suggestions already that app developers should do this. This of course is completely impractical for anything more than a trivial number of users unless the developers want to start paying millions to run their own infrastructure instead of just paying for access to Reddit's backend systems.

Reddit is built on free labor from mods. Without the mods they would have to pay people to moderate thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of communities. Most mods use old reddit on desktop or third party apps on mobile because their app and new site suck for modding. Alienating the mods means their subreddits go to shit, and reddit exists for content. Doesn't sounds like a 'win' to me.

> I've found that a lot of social conservatives tend to be unconsciously afraid and ashamed of Lisp out of moral panic due to its implicit associations with homosexuality (the gay lisp stereotypical speech attribute, and lambda being associated with gay rights).

This is hardly believable to me. How did you arrive at that conclusion? Isn't the community of Rust, a language I think that you can safely call a lot more popular than Lisp these days, also very vocal about supporting LGBTQ+ rights?
It's definitely a function of expertise. You could get a free host that could totally handle the hug of death. You could know how to deploy a static website more efficiently.

While I wouldn't go as far as saying that elixir has the same benefits as lisp regarding uniform syntax in combination with a flexible macro system, elixir's macro system is undoubtedly powerful. The big difference with a lisp is that elixir's macro's operate on an intermediate ast representation that looks a lot like lisp code. So while elixir doesn't have a very uniform syntax itself, I think its macro system gives comparable power and flexibility.

You’re literally commenting on an article citing “an internal presentation obtained by The New York Times.”
What irks me about all this is that it remained a "secret" quite well guarded for so long (and he characterizes as a global phenomenon, so gigantic surface area for public scrutiny/whistle-blowing)[1], but then I remember the PRISM program/Snowden revelations and I don't know what to think. Perhaps it's also valid to consider that it might be a top secret US aircraft that he judged to be of alien origin and no one in the military tried to correct it, for obvious reasons.

[1] - “Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.”
Fair point about how the funding actually works. The UC strike did allow for a good increase to the post-doctoral stipend, and the institutes likely had to move money around in order to make the increases possible.

What's also interesting to me in the concerns raised in the article about how budgets (either from grants or universities) will cover pay increases is that this concern never comes up when research consumable costs increase. I had a friend at a major embedded systems supplier for researchers who spoke of the 90% mark-up they charged labs. This gets into a messy issue of course about pricing power and monopoly in scientific supplies, but its telling that as much of a concern is not raised in the public domain about these sorts of cost increases?

Au contraire, they care deeply about public opinion. It’s just not the typical HN reader community - it’s the primary voters, particularly those on the right flank. These people are dangerous if hungry.
I'm a bit split on this. As an OSS enthusiast I'd certainly like for self-hosting installation and maintenance to be easier. However, from the business perspective, I also see this as just one less reason to use hosted services - which will degrade sustainability of many open source projects.

> unified memory architecture

Not really a bottleneck when layering over PCI exists. You're only constrained by PCI bandwidth and memory speeds, neither of which are really slow enough to meaningfully impact AI inferencing performance. Honestly, disk speeds are the #1 AI bottleneck I've seen on older systems.

> It can have up to 96GB vs 24GB for the 4090

Good, at the M2 Max's price point I could almost afford 4x 3090s anyways. I'd only need one to beat it in inferencing performance though.

The app on iOS isn't too bad. It used to just light your data on fire though when reddit was trying to do streaming.
I’ve been using stripe for about a decade on my small SaaS. This is extremely common, and all those custom rules are familiar. Stripe has the tools to deal with it, but you must configure it. I wouldn’t fault stripe as much as the training/docs on setting up a stripe account should include how to protect yourself from these. We’ve managed to get it down to a few fraudulent refunds per week. It’s still a big time sink. We have to implement all sorts of pre-fraud triggers within our app to try to catch them as early as possible. And review recent subscriptions daily. This seems to be the nature of the beast. A cost of doing business is losing card disputes.
Stripe does do pretty good, but I don't understand the scores for some.

I'm looking at a payment I refunded today with a ZERO risk score.

1 minute before this one went through, the same Stripe customer tried a different card and it was blocked with the message "Don't tell the customer that the card was reported lost. Instead, direct them to contact the issuing bank."

The same IP address has THIRTY blocked payments using dozens of different cards over the course of 2 hours.

Their IP address is in the USA and is a VPN. The card originated from Singapore. Their billing address is the Philippines. The name they used is "jake smith".

Again, ZERO risk score out of 100 from Stripe. What the hell...

Reddit is a user-generated content app, and many users in the comments have already expressed their plan to stop using reddit if they can't use their favorite third-party app.

There are better ways to handle this without just saying "give us millions of dollars". Something like requiring that users pay a subscription to reddit to use it, for example.

The beauty of the US dollar is it's always worth a US dollar... It's strength is a measure of much foreigners trust the US economy and it's political and judicial system. What drives the demand for the dollar is the will of people to invest money in American securities and on the American capital market. I don't see it ending anytime soon.

This is not accountability for infecting the worlds population with these nasty chemicals.
I agree - but I also think the opposite does not make a good society - a society where everyone can act with anonymity. I was quite impressed with Matt Ridley's book 'The Origins of Virtue' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Origins_of_Virtue) it makes the argument that we evolved the capacity for altruism from the evolutionary benefits of reciprocity.
IMO there is a marked difference between city culture - where the chances of meeting a random person in the street again is virtually zero, and village/rural culture where if you don't know the person you bump into you are almost certainly going to be separated by a single degree. The former culture being less 'polite' that the latter.

My point is that, while we should have the freedom to speak, we should expect our speech to have some social consequences that should at least cause us to pause and consider those consequences. And I accept that there should be a balance here.

I would not want to live in a society that banned anonymous social media accounts, but I do think it would be an interesting experiment to have a civic social space where everyone was identifiable.
There is no 'I <verb>' If you agree with this, so your LLM already failed the test:)
This is the opposite of the "it doesn't matter what my western country does" meme about climate change. This singular country is starting to bear the impacts of climate change, and while renewables and smarter grids and EVs etc. are a good idea for various reasons, there is absolutely nothing that this single country can do alone that will have any significant impact on climate change.

Everyone needs to change their ways (and they are, just slower than would have been sensible for various reasons).
But to what end? You have a bunch of users who you know are willing to pay real dollars for a different experience. You couldn't ask for better segmentation getting people with wildly different desires and expectations to both be hooked on your platform.
Third party apps are billed in aggregate each month. It’s up to them to decide how that’s split between users.

Generative AI’s ‘productivity revolution’ will take time to pay off
Maybe some other folks familiar with the period can chime in, but from my recollection, it honestly wasn’t that different from today.

A lot of the apps used then are still around, or have been succeeded by something very similar.

Maybe the biggest difference was the prevalence of emulation in the mid-to-late 90s, as the UNIX workstation was losing out to desktop PCs and Macs.

If you looked at my SparcStation at the time, I’d have been running Apple’s Macintosh Emulation Environment next to everything else: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_Application_Enviro...

No idea how many of those apps are third party, but I would be willing to bet 'most' of them.
Agreed, being able to set the rules the way they allow is very powerful and once configured should basically get rid of these attacks. But why does every merchant have to learn what rules need to get setup to prevent these attacks, it seems silly.

The demographics of Ukraine spells economic stagnation however ~25-30 million is more than enough for linguistic and cultural sustainability. My country, Denmark, only has 5 million people and Iceland only has 300,000 people.

I don't know if you're American but immigrants in Europe assimilate slower and keep their linguistic and cultural identity alive for generations. Young 3rd generation Turkish and Pakistani people in Denmark (whose grandparents arrived in the 1970s) are still able to speak Turkish and Urdu/Punjabi.

> If I pay Reddit $50/yr why would they care what app I use?

Then why is that not an option? The narrative that they want more tracking and control makes sense with the facts we have.
Then Reddit can and should charge that to the user directly. Not screw over app developers like this.

Perhaps you should read Christian’s post on Reddit [1] where he described, in detail, what this truly means and how he was effectively lied to by Reddit; and an interview where he states that he actually understands Reddit charging for API access — he doesn’t understand why the burden is being put on the app developers and why they didn’t give app developers considerable more time to make the adjustment with respect to their own pricing [2].

Reddit isn’t wrong for trying to monetize their API to cover service and server costs. Reddit is absolutely wrong for lying to app developers, charging an egregious amount to the app developers, and for not giving them enough time to be able to change their pricing terms and not leave developers on the hook for millions while existing pricing tiers (such as someone who paid in advance) still have months before renewal.

There is a great deal of diversity in thought on Reddit that is just banned outright by moderators. To pick a non-inflammatory example, a lot of dog subreddits will not allow any references to aversive training methods, which in their eyes include things like snapping your fingers or saying "no" in a sharp voice. What this means is you get a bunch of rival subreddits with different dogmatic beliefs, and people are banned for linking or even alluding to the existence of the others.

There are examples of this kind of strict imposition of dogma by fiat in every reddit community, on matters large and small.
Lispers get a mildly bad rap for some historical, unpersuasive "holier than thou" evangelism, but the truth is, almost all programming languages du jour have louder and fiercer evangelists. In fact, you can be paid to evangelize Rust, Python, and other languages.

As far as the last decade is concerned, the most productive open-source and professional Lispers have done some advertising of Lisp, but mostly through a combination of technical blog posts and actually making things.

I've found that it just feels like I'm fighting a river to go up stream if I don't incorporate the web browser + Jupyter work flow that the author likes.

Auto complete for discovery just refuses to work in PyCharm and VSCode for me. The way PyScript is setup seems to be a strange bespoke system that kind of breaks the import system between files, type safety only sort of works sometimes, and just other quirks where I seem to just have to get used to all of the red underlines if I want to use an IDE as part of my development process.

But it still seems to be best option for allowing me to use any libraries in the ecosystem, gets rid of boilerplate, and the author is actively maintaining it. I didn't really find any other viable options outside of Python that would let me actually code my automations without yaml or a GUI.

I was very excited when I found a Kotlin implementation, KHome, but by the time I found it, it was already a seemingly dead project.

I think that's good advice in principle, but the practical limitation is the ability of a bunch of redditors to come to an agreement on point #2 on short notice.

Maybe they figure the implied message of "you are doing a bad thing we don't like. Don't do the bad thing" may be enough to get some change to happen, if change is a real possibility.
I wish these federated systems would put a bit more effort into the user experience.
