Yes, that's a good question why they don't want our (not living in Germany) money.

I think the background is:

* Paypal is not very common/popular in Germany so most local transport agencies don't bother

* with SEPA direct debit which is the common payment in Germany you can easily initiate a chargeback after you have already used the ticket. Of course that's fraud, but if you live abroad, the effort to sue you would be tremendous
Personally, it's been a game changer for me. Been in Munich the last couple of months and previously it was over $30 a week to use just the Subway/Bus/Trams. At ~$53 a month I can now take the Subway/Bus/Tram, suburban trains, to/from airport, as well as inter-regional trains which make certain trips and activities make significantly more sense.

Was a bit weird at first with the local Munich provider time restricting it to before the month, vs DB which allowed for the current month, but whose system was overwhelmed. This actually forced me to get an unnecessary local week pass until DB sorted out their issues and allowed for purchase. Seems as the local Munich provider MVGO also corrected their system and allow for the current month as well with no waiting period.

Honestly wish every state would implement something like this, would encourage more travel, adventures, and quality of life improvement overall.

You might as well ask “why use a database when you have no customers?”
Well in fairness from reading the thread, it seems like it competes with some of their own pet projects. It also does have some real transition risks. That said, I don't see why Apple-style fat binaries can't solve those.
Same. I only accessed Reddit with Apollo.

That's a terrible reason to justify... well, anything, really.
Wow, that Teehan+Lax page takes me back!
Obviously not. I guess non-toxic (plastic, PFAs, etc.) would've been a better description.
That makes sense, thanks for the detailed reply.

I’m curious about the latest research related to continuously improving the tokenizer while training the main model (or something equivalent).
> you can no longer manually type the passkey in on random devices that don't have your password manager on it

This is a huge problem, though. My password manager has no online component, and only runs on my phone. On purpose.

When I use it, the password manager shows me the password that I need, and I type it in manually.

I could change to a different method, but then I lose a lot of flexibility. I can no longer log into things from machines other than my own.

Things like Yubikey address some of this, but then I can no longer log into machines unless I have sufficient physical access to plug the key in.

To be clear, I'm not arguing that any of this means passkeys aren't desirable, but I am saying this to point out that passkeys are not functionally equivalent to passwords, and passkeys do restrict some kinds of use.
I think Terraform should consider making targeted applies a first class feature/workflow.

Right now, Terraform maximalism requires reproducible builds, which is not something most orgs can achieve.
Reddit leadership desperate to dump the pig on public markets, pulling out all the stops. Literally their only path forward is to find some other greater fool to hold the bags, regardless of what they have to say to make it happen.

> just run on one or two servers, period, for quite a while

famously, StackOverflow
Perception is all that matters in a lot of these cases.
there is not relevant tracking there, there is no system of checking-in/out of a train

you can always just board the train without anyone checking your ticket, you are _trusted_ to have a valid ticket

then because people can not always be trusted from time to time some personal will check tickets for validity, potentially

but in practice most people get checked like once a month or so at most, it's semi-random so some are probably unlucky

Furthermore any statistic data collected from this checks is anonymized they don't remember that _you_ where checked there (if you ticked was valid).

Additionally checking costs money (personal cost) so the less likely you are to find a trespasser the less checking is done, i.e. with the 49€ ticket probably less checking will be done long term.

For longer reginal trips you are more like to be checked, but in practice this new tickets will give _less_ information to the DB and similar organziations. Because before for most regional ticket you brought either had already been explicit person bound or implicit throught he payment system with a specific start or end place listed on them. The ability to buy regional tickets with cash has been becoming increasingly more limited (e.g. because of nonsense like people trying to steal that cash by blowing up the ticket automata, creating a huge cost for a minimal profit).
I eat once a day and weight myself in the morning before eating or drinking anything, hence the consistency. If I weight myself in other parts of the day I get different results so it isn't just weight stuck at same level. So I can see the trend based on what I ate last few days pretty quickly.

I also tested on small weight and what my kitchen weight calls 3.016KG my bathroom weight calls 3.0KG so I'm pretty sure it's still reasonably accurate in absolute scale.
This Is the corporate equivalent of "I can't give you money, but I'll pay you with in exposure on my socials". Reddit prefers to be paid in dollars, not with content. They likely have more than enough content from non-Apollo users.

Reddit's free APIs left a lot of uncaptured value on the table. This has become obvious by the sheer number of AI models trained on Reddit data. Free Reddit data goes into the machine, and piles of VC money comes out. Reddit wants in on it, but is unable to stop free API access without the consumer apps being collateral.
Geographic subreddits are a poor mechanism to gauge sentiment of a city. Reddit itself is already a very skewed sample, and one does not need to actually live or visit the city to participate.

I've been using hackernews as a great alternative to reddit. When they shut off compact reddit I completely moved to HN.
I completely agree but I think there’s more to it.

Cities are concerned bc New York of the 1970’s is staring them all down bc tax revenues take a dive and the equivalent of structural unemployment is hitting city revenue models.

That said, anyone who’s lived in the main cities can likely attest to the following. These places are corporatized shells of what they once were, and what they once were is why NYC is considered cool in the first place - live music, local bars, “scenes,” that unique city approach to local community. Sometime in the 2000s, while they lost the gnarly crime, they also started to lose all that for 7/11, Chase banks, and mom and pops owned by PE. Essentially rich person playgrounds. Nyc of 2013 was a lot of fun but also more an amusement park for wealthy millennials or NYU kids cosplaying as one. Same with SF and techies.

So these cities simultaneously bemoan the loss of that character and exponential cost of living increases, but also want back all the conditions that caused both.

If Manhattan gets it’s actual artists and culture people back from outer Brooklyn or Ohio, and it takes a dive in tax revenues and a grungy NYC for a bit, that seems a good thing. NYC of the 7/11-Chase Bank height really sucked.

The way I think of this is validating the problem before investing any time in building a solution.

It's surprisingly easy to build something that no one wants. This is because it's easy to build something that doesn't solve a real problem. For reasons that I still can't figure out, we're very good at fooling ourselves about what are real problems that people experience.

Now when I have a new idea, I force myself to dwell on the question, "What is the cheapest way I can validate that the problem I'm solving is real?" You did that with an ugly prototype and a video. That's quite cheap. Maybe you could've even done it with no product at all!
UHT milk doesn't generally make good cheese. It can be used to make some simple cheeses, like ricotta, but the high temperature changes the proteins enough to make most rennet-curdled cheeses fail.

That's probably because the model works on tokens and not letters. Depending on what "it" means, the model can use various tokenization methods that you can run on your computer really easily so you can see what it sees.

No, but great third party apps for Mastodon definitely keep me using Mastodon more than I was with the official app. I'm sure it's a similar story for many others.

The thing is, the terms-of-service they give you that you agree to. That thing everyone skips. In it, Apple specifically says they don't track you or sell your data (but as you say, that could change). This is why when they do have any breach of that agreement...like when they said that some humans listen to Siri requests to make sure it's being accurate, they were sued for it. People hold their feet to the fire over anything they may flub. And since Apple doubles down on saying they're the best at privacy, more and more people are chomping at the bit to sue them or call them out on it. They have to tread carefully.

Google and Microsoft on the other hand blatantly say "yeah, we look over your shoulder at everything you do on the Internet...you know, to "help" you find what you're looking for or to feed more of it to you. And also, our advertisers would be very interested too". I mean, read THEIR TOS and marvel at it.
Wow, I had no idea about this!
I find it difficult to believe such a strong position. For example consider some hypothetical alternate timeline like if there were some physicist connectionist hackers who made powerful supercomputers with LLM capabilities back when we only programmed with machine language and assembly language. In that world where the ubiquitous and abstract programming language is assembly language, would it have value to create another layer of abstraction like lisp or C or whatever to help the LLMs use their digital brains more effectively?
This expedition gives us a peek at the future life of habitats outside of Earth. It makes one very thankful for the planetary environment we live in.

Hey look something I’m relevant too as a dentist.

Tooth decay requires several parameters
1- bacteria
2- bacteria food source
3- acidic environment
4- time

We all have the bacteria but the other ones are somewhat controllable. What many people don’t account for is the 4th parameter of contact time.
It would be better (for your teeth, not overall health) to rapidly drink several sodas than periodically sip one for several hours.

Decay typically only occurs in a pH environment of 5.5 or lower, otherwise the enamel is resistant to the acid. So the longer the pH is lower the more likely you will develop a cavity.
I did offer to do that but the main problem is she doesn't want to carry the items and it can be heavy for her with all the tools she carries (she's a piano technician). Really only solution would be finding lightweight alternatives, but haven't had luck with that.
Don't take your context for granted.
Others are saying "power users", but... I agree with you. It is just an assumption that the "power users" make the product better, although a reasonable one. However, Reddit was pretty awesome, arguably much better, before there were semi-professional power users and moderators.
Sure, we have a racism problem in Eastern Germany. But I don't think a far right activist might jump out of the next bush in many cases. Leipzig should be the best of all these places.

Seems like Vancouver accidentally did something very right when starting in the 1970s it decided that it should actually be putting a great deal of housing right into downtown, only letting up in the late 2000s when developers were so enamored with the idea that they started converting commercial office and city council got nervous about that.

No one would ever suggest that Vancouver doesn't have severe issues with street homelessness and open drug use, and yet Vancouver isn't at all experiencing the same sort of post WFH era hangover that SF and other US cities are experiencing.

It seems pretty clear to me that it's the over focus on commercial in Downtowns that is the city life killer here. Going to be really hard and expensive for cities that are suffering from a surplus of commercial to fix this.
And my usage of reddit will close down as well.

So excited to have all that time back to be honest.

This is the great part about Google doing FOSS. Even though google has gone evil, we still have the code. Its an incredible check and balance.
> I don't think you need to learn binary to learn to code. Been doing this for 25 years working at some big name companies, I don't know binary other than 1 is on, 0 is off.

I hope Apollo's not overplaying their hand here, though it's super interesting hearing these conversations from the inside. It's clear reddit's got it out for the 3p apps, and I'm personally leaving reddit over this (longtime RIF user), but this post is a bit concerning.

It focuses on the "[apollo can] quiet down [for $10M]" topic in the conversation, and the apparent misunderstanding between Apollo and Reddit, Reddit taking "quiet down" to mean "go away quietly, without a lot of public noise", as a threat.

Apollo states that they meant "go dark", "reduce API usage", "reduce reddit opportunity cost". But for that position to make sense, Apollo would need some leverage here. They're using Reddit's API and platform behind the scenes - they have no leverage I can see. What am I missing?
You'd likely have to enter an API agreement with Reddit, and it's unlikely they'd be willing to run you through the sales funnel and write up a contract just sell you what's effectively a $3/mo API plan.

That said, open sourcing the app would be great to archive it for posterity.
> I myself am torn between these two.

As a regular Nix user and occasional Guix dabbler, I think you really can't go wrong either way. I feel that Guix often gets short shrift here on HN, but at the end of the day it's a really thoughtfully designed project with a capable community and great documentation.
Same boat. It's going to be pretty trivial to stop browsing reddit once Apollo is gone. I'll probably still read links through google search from time to time, but it'll be a 99% reduction in usage for me.

Wait what??

So now if there is a link to, say, mysite.com/f/ajdheke and the last part is different for each user, and I choose to send this link to a friend, then the friend will get mysite.com/f ? Breaking the site?

Apple is going too far with this. Cookies is one thing, but how are people supposed to confirm email addresses now, copypaste a code?
They can reinterpret existing laws slightly more aggressively, and they can make new laws that Zuck would then have to continue breaking and go after Meta for that, but unlike China, they cannot arbitrarily put him in jail for something his business does, and they cannot change how Meta works without writing new legislation that would absolutely get thrown out by the Supreme court.

That's the entire point though. The relationship between Meta and the State is governed predominantly by letter of law and the system of the court. It's not perfect, but it absolutely puts limitations on government retribution towards a company that does something workers of the State do not like, but is legal.

In China, the relationship between a private company (in as much as that can exist in China) and the State is governed ENTIRELY by the whims of the party. There is no way to limit the party to things that are "legal", because laws do not constrain the party.
That is of course their right, but they way they went about it is really scummy. Third-party apps, and the user-contributed content they engendered, built Reddit. Without its users, Reddit has nothing, is nothing. Just another forum site.

They could have simply said "Due to business pressures, we're going to stop offering our API in 1 year" and honestly, nobody would have blinked an eye.

Or they could have said "Due to business pressures, we're going to include advertisements in the API. Any clients found deliberately not displaying the ads will have their API keys permanently revoked."

Or they could have said "Due to business pressures, we're going to stop offering free API access. Users who subscribe to Reddit can use their own personal API keys with a limit of 1000 calls per day."

They did none of those things; they raised prices to a point that was completely untenable and gave app developers 30 days to FOAD.

All the processing is necessarily done in photonics for these record transmissions. Even so, these kind of speeds are still impressive for photonics.

To answer your question more adequately, nothing is pushing out the data in or recieving it beyond a counter and an application-specific photonics chip that is able to process the frames enough to count them. Anything else assumes levels of processing that would make anyone interested in compute fight over it.
That's fine, but if you're put in the drunk tank overnight, and then refer to that as having been "locked up", then people will reasonably assume that you had spent several months or years in jail.

In context: Elizabeth Holmes has been locked up, while Anderson Lee Aldritch had a string of mental health evaluations before going on to commit mass murder.
