I mean she worked for Pixar for an additional 20 years after that incident, right? (not counting who knows how many years she worked for Pixar before the incident) There doesn't seem to be any correlation with that concept of loyalty here – it is absolutely unfortunate, but if they are laying people off because the numbers aren't making sense, unfortunately, they would be focusing on the mix of people they need moving forward, regardless of loyalty.

Both things could be true, they likely had a great symbiotic relationship (20 years after the incident, who knows how many years before, for people at the talent level of working on Pixar movies, they could leave and work anywhere else, but they chose to stay at Pixar for a reason), AND this person's position just didn't make it when determining how to make cuts.

It's just an unfortunate situation but seems to not really line up cleanly with the "was this loyalty" question.
Funnily enough, that location is not empty (there is a buoy to mark it) and is aptly named "Null Island" [1]

For Reddit to be user-hostile is for Reddit to be Reddit-hostile.

For what it's worth (speaking only for myself), I could not live without the threading macros (-> and ->>) in Clojure. Below is an example of some very involved ETL work I just did. For me this is very readable, and I understand if others have other preferences.

People sometimes compare Musk to Howard Hughes. This is unfair, on Hughes; as far as I know, if you bought a plane from him he rarely showed up at your house to insist that you not eat large peas. Musk, by contrast, tends to inflict his neuroses on his user base.

(Also, Hughes largely stayed out of direct running of his important businesses when he was in his pea-sizing phase, as far as I know)
Not affiliated with them apart from being an early customer, but we're working with Credal.ai to solve this problem. In addition to being able to redact content automatically before it hits the LLM, they also have agreements in place with OpenAI and Anthropic for data deletion, etc. Ravin and the team have been super responsive and supportive and I'd recommend them for folks who are looking to solve this issue.
Proven? not that I know of, and its going to be next to impossible to prevent them.

Mitigation? well considering from the start what a malicious actor could do with your system and haveing a "human in the loop" for any potentially destructive callout from the LLM back to other systems would be a start. Unfortunately even OpenAI don't seem to have implemented that with their plugin system for ChatGPT.

> What is holding back Bitcoin adoption for small online payments? With Bitcoin, a payment is a payment. So this problem would never occur.

>Fellows on strikes are acutely aware of the risk of getting scooped every minute that is spent away from the bench, but in the balance, its really not foremost on many folks' minds beyond a point.

FWIW, most researchers I know who were involved in academic strikes did not put their research on hold, but all of them with teaching duties did walk out of that. This was sufficient to pressure the university to acquiesce to a decent portion of their demands, since total loss of graduate TAs/instructors is hugely consequential to the university. But the NIH is not a teaching institution, so this particular bargaining threat is moot.

>The assumption is that the movement has built enough support for everyone to strike together.

Perhaps we should agree to disagree on this, but per above, I maintain that this is an unlikely assumption at a pure research (i.e. non-teaching) institute.

>Mice get sick, chemical stocks go bad, collaborators leave for personal reasons, etc. etc.

These are all factors outside of an individual researcher's control. Few people would voluntarily decide to set back their career.

>Truth is, when it comes to transitioning to a faculty position (which is the point of a post-doc position), being scooped is really not that much of a deal

The point of a postdoc is to publish a handful (~1-3) of very high impact studies to bolster a faculty application. Getting scooped on even one of them can be a huge deal if it causes the publication to lose its impactfulness. I know several people in that boat, unfortunately—the scooping publication went to an absolute top-tier impact factory journal (e.g. Nature/Science), while the scooped paper went to a much lower impact factor speciality journal. Sadly, faculty applications are often evaluated based on the perceived prestige of the candidate's publications, not their actual contents, and while I can't say for sure that the scooped faculty candidates I know didn't get their ideal positions because they were scooped, I'd bet it was a nontrivial factor.
Be careful! The Google search guys will come on HN and gaslight you about this, claiming that the advanced search functionality works perfectly and it's simply user error.

We know it's not, but expect them to try to tell you you're imagining things.
That sounds like an issue with local zoning, otherwise the market would fix that issue.

So you lose the company $100M and you shouldn't be accountable either?

Also, think about this, these people were promoted multiple times for going "above & beyond". They just weren't an optimal fit for their last roles.
Ok. The title implies that it's something active that's happening related to AI companies which is confusing (and incorrect).
Pine trees spread needles to suppress growth in the around them and keep nearby competitors from consuming their resources. Human governance structures and corporations do the same. No reason to think that a sufficiently complex AI would not do the same.

We should apply the same principles to fight each of these tendencies and reject special treatment for big players in all it's forms.
I was cycling (i.e. in the road) (sometimes walking, not in road) to and from school 2.0 miles away at that age. This was before/as phones were only just becoming interesting to that age group (getting MP3s and ringtones etc.), I think I didn't have one at first and then did, but I begged for it, it wasn't forces upon me as some sort of safety ('parental leash'?!) device.

What're you actually concerned about? Is that going to helped by your child having a phone themselves (vs some bystander)?
The cost for anything like this should always be the cost of cleaning up the entire mess it created and compensating the humans harmed by it and covering their lifetime medical bills. $1billion sounds a tad low for doing any of that given the world wide impact. Its a bad deal.
Binaries, imo. At some point Usenet became synonymous to illegal downloads for people, and it became too costly to support.

Read their post! It's impossible to tell which of these, if any, they want:

- roll back all API pricing changes to the status quo ante

- Offer more reasonable pricing tiers, for some value of 'more reasonable'

- do what you want with the API, but give moderators the tools they need (right now only available in third party apps)

- something else
Russia may have more artillery tubes, but they have a shortage of precision guided ammunition and are having trouble manufacturing more. They're basically using it as fast as they can make it just to hold the current lines and have been unable to build up the stockpiles that would be needed for another offensive. Meanwhile PGM deliveries to Ukraine have been accelerating.
Seems like a complex explanation when someone new eventually asks why is this done this way.

It's undecidable in the general case, but it becomes doable in non-Turing-complete languages that are still expressive enough to be useful for many practical cases. (These languages can express unrestricted recursion as an I/O-like effect that's only available outside the language proper, as part of compiling to a binary.)
That's what killing a social media is, people leaving.
Which is realistically not going to happen.
The average user doesnt care, yeah reddit is geeky but all they want is money.
Not a big fan of how the history of the euro played out but I think I need to provide some nuance to your claims: Policy of the ECB has been as predictable as any other CB, European Govs have become much more fiscally prudent in the wake of the euro crisis (maybe too prudent). Eurozone debt to GDP levels stands at 91% (vs. 129% in the US). The "entire continent militarizing" will not meaningfully impact debt ratios (goal is to increase avg. military budgets from ~1.3% to 2% of annual GDP). The bigger question mark in Europe is potentially unsustainable expenses for social security and (related to this) a relative decline in the working age population (as everywhere else).
Packaging existing apps tends to be extra work, since you have to retrofit things (like user accounts). But creating brand new apps can actually be less work, because it has things built in (like user accounts).
This is probably the common thread among all the people reporting this. As an alternate date point, I haven't experienced the captcha from using advanced search queries.
When I first started using usenet in the early 90s, I spent days going through the entire list of newsgroups my provider had. IIRC it was somewhere around 6000 groups at the time. Found all sorts of interesting things that way. To your point, that's not exactly a scalable solution and not one that most people would do :)

I'd counter that though with the aspect of one stop shopping, which e.g. Reddit also has. One thing that kept me on Usenet far longer than most was that with one app (my newsreader) I could access limitless topic specific forums. Instead of having to go to a bunch of different sites, each with their own logins & quirks, etc. To this day I still prefer applications like that, for instance it is something I really appreciated about Twitter until recent changes.
These aren’t “technical errors”. These are user errors, made by people who know just enough about Excel to use it, but not to include anything that validates the results - or constraints that prevent intentional or unintentional manipulation of sheets, once considered “done”.

Unfortunately, this is not a problem with the tool, Excel does what it’s supposed to. Any tool in the hands of someone not properly trained to use it, or without the discipline to use it correctly, adds a risk of incorrect output.
Google has been so weirdly different and off lately. I miss when I could type anything and get exactly what I was looking for. Those days died at least ten years ago.

Sidenote: I wish Google would lower the ranking on websites who push for a mobile app and degrade your web browsing experience. There's no point in even getting them as a search result. If I wanted something from an app, I would have just gone on the app store.
It is in the title. "Card testing" - Google it
Pixar movies used to have a very high standard for film critics. Rotten Tomatoes has Lightyear ranked as the 3rd worst Pixar movie behind Cars (https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/all-pixar-movies-...)
This is the key problem with decentralised systems. They simply can't innovate as quickly as centralised systems.

We saw this with usenet and we also saw it with IRC. IRC really is what slack was, 30years ahead of it. However, IRC has so many essential missing features it never caught on - push notifications, saving your state when offline, admin controls, etc. I know some of these were solved with extensions and workarounds (having a shell connect to irc an then you connect to the shell for persistence for example) but it's a huge hack. This compares to Slack or Teams where they can push a back and front end update to millions/billions(?) of users in a very short space of time to add additional functionality.

This is another reason why all the decentralised 'blockchain' things would have struggled (on top of many others).
It sounds nice, but "freedom of the press only for approved entities" tends not to work out that well.

Reddit moderation isn't some altruistic effort. It's people shaping the discussion of their subreddit. They are participants as much as any other user.

I think the distinction is that you don't arrest someone for merely having the capability of reproducing a work, but after they've reproduced it and attempted to use it in an infringing manner. I don't know how applicable the analogy is given that LLMs don't "think", of course.
If you need an alternative DuckDuckGo seems _much_ cleaner to me... everytime I randomly inadvertently end up on Google I'm usually very turned off.
Tildes is way too small, niche, and controlled entirely by its creator. When I first started looking for reddit alternatives, I got an Tildes invite and hung around for a few weeks before asking how one goes about making new subs. They're entirely made by the admin and subject to his discretion, so my request for an aquarium sub and a gun sub were just kind of ignored.

It's going to be really hard for them to grow a real userbase as long as it's bottlenecked that way.

Which isn't such a foreign concept for them, there's a "no toll roads" option for driving directions on google maps. Why can't search be the same?
As soon as I see a url that has the exact search query I typed in, I know that this is a content-farm site at best, and a LLM generated one at worst.

It's funny in a sickening but not unexpected way that a crowd that professes to be more learned, and interested in learning, than most others, chooses to ignore this on a consistent basis. They know they're building a world of pain, they just think if they ignore it and feign ignorance of it that they can launder their consciences.
>less expressive in some ways, but fitting Rust way better, as basically a relaxation of a former restriction, rather than a new feature

They're not expressive enough to implement a monadic async library, as far as I'm aware, so they don't fulfill the role of proper HKTs in this context.

>minus `template`’s duck-typiness so you’d have to spell out what contract the container must adhere to.

I call BS. OpenAI was originally meant to be an open source and non-profit company. It is now a closed source, for-profit company and is controlled by the company that gave FUD its original meaning for discrediting others who stood against it. It is supreme naivety to think they will not use whatever they can to gain power in the AI arena. There is nothing in that statement that a high powered lawyer can not twist and bend to their liking. I can easily see the transformer matrix weights being defines as "aggregate data" -- "they are just floating point numbers -- they are not anyone's source code."
I hope something new comes along. I'm getting sick of reddit. They way they allow moderators to run subreddits nowadays is ridiculous. Especially city subreddits that should be completely unbiased and welcoming to all in the region.

The r/Toronto city subreddit is absolute garbage now because of what the mods have done. They decided they would have "no-crime January" as a trial to see what the subreddit looks like if users weren't allowed to post articles about petty crime throughout the city. When someone gets stabbed in a high-profile area it couldn't be posted under the no-crime January rules. They said they would run it as a trial and offer a survey to see what people thought. They didn't run the survey and the rule is now in place permanently. Of course, when a white guy or incel commits a crime it's allowed, but if it's a BIPOC? Deleted.

Now the mods are trying to astroturf the municipal election we have coming up and push one of the candidates. It's the "progressive" candidate and in true Canadian fashion, if you don't vote for the progressive the reddit mob wants you to vote for you might as well be a Conservative because you're handing them the election. The mods allow people to make posts that say nonsense such as:

> To all Progressives - we need to consolidate behind [redacted] now. [He/she] might not be my first choice but this is finally an election where we can put a people-first person in. We can't screw this up by splitting the vote.

To suggest you can be a progressive but want another candidate will result in downvotes and insults. Funny enough, those insults would get you banned under their famous Rule 2 which basically allows them to delete or ban anything they deem as "not excellent" but when directed at someone who is seen as "conservative" they are allowed. The subreddit has been like this for about 5-6 years, it's only the political polarization that's got more extreme lately.
The demand is clear enough, I don't know why you're just repeating that it isn't
Or root causes and contributing factors.
If private companies did this, it would be a huge lawsuit: we mustn't raise wages, we have a tacit agreement with the other big employers to keep them low!
Having tried to use Apollo several times over several years, I keep coming back to the official Reddit app. It works and I'm just used to it. I like the UI much better and it feels normal. Nothing Apollo provides was that much of an improvement over the default app IMO.
I agree that making a clear demand seems more effective if possible, but I don't think disorganization necessarily implies that displeasure is only momentary and involves no risk. Many people can be upset about something and agree on a way to protest it without agreeing on what the solution should be.
> Delete half of rust's symbols, get rid of its macro system, rewrite it until lifetimes are inferred /or/ allocators are explicitly chosen, etc. etc.

Feel free to do this. I predict you will end up with a language that appeals to nobody but yourself
I have worked with a person who was the "big C++ gun" at the company, taught C++ in a big university two days a week, and IIRC also was on some sort of standards committee (in any case his name was on some document from them). His knowledge of the language was breathtaking.

In a personal conversation, that person told me that he estimated that he knew about half of the language, and that average career length wasn't enough to learn all of it.

This was way before C++11.
There was moderation. There was even a newsgroup that probably has some overlap with here that required you to circumvent it in order to post.
It goes all the way back to NeXT days actually.
One thing that might be a problem here, is the ongoing oversupply of advanced degrees. This creates a ready supply of replacement faculty whenever needed. As science faculty leave the university, the university has the option of easily replacing them one-by-one, probably at lower cost, and are left with no need to hire the new scientists' organization. The research quality might drop, but the university's reputation would paste over the difference for a while at least.

Or, the individual scientists' reputations are enough to pull along the grants when they go.

Basically you can use AI generated content to promote what the government likes. However, if you go against what the government likes, you can’t use AI.
Technical fellow's and keeping founder's around long past their prime isn't done because those people produce some kind of valuable work that the rest of engineering cannot, it's because it's easier to pay them rather than let them run off and start or work for a competitor.

[I lead Radar at Stripe] We're still investigating but have blocked the majority of this attack from the Stripe network. We're going to refund any impacted transactions and waive the fees for those payments. We'll also waive the dispute fee (if a payment has been disputed).

More broadly, we’ve seen an uptick in card testing attempts across Stripe. While the absolute rate of successful card testing across the Stripe network is flat-to-somewhat-down, it’s not evenly spread—some businesses are seeing more than others. For these new testing attacks, we’re deploying mitigants in real time.
- It's some type from which you can read a response body. In OCaml we often work in terms of abstract types i.e. the operations which can be done on types. If you want to see the exact name of the type you can always look up the signature of `Client.get`: https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp/blob/16e991ec1f7e5f0c... (nowadays LSP support in any good editor will show the type on hover)

- It's implementing non-blocking I/O using effect handlers. The complexity is not exposed to the library user, which is actually the whole point. If you want to dive into the concurrency library (Eio) and study how it works, that's very doable, just like any concurrency library in any other language.

There's really not that much to get–OCaml will do async I/O without having to colour functions, just like Go, Erlang/Elixir, and soon Java. It's not something sexy like monads that excite people with mysterious FP concepts, it's just a lot of hard work that went into simplifying how developers code at scale.
