> What would be really impressive to me is if she never once got food poisoning

It'll never cease to amaze me how commonly people in the US get food poisoning based on their comments.

Not getting food poisoning or the flu in three years is surprising?

Fuel tanks have vents to prevent overfilling from damaging them. From one of the Boeing documents I found, the 767-400ER will vent tanks into the fuel dumping system, passively pushing the excess overboard.
Papers are already structured in a way that makes reading them very efficient, by providing different layers: you read the title, if you're interested you read the abstract, if you're still interested you read the intro, conclusions and maybe charts/tables, if you're really interested you read the rest.

I have the feeling that when my interest in a paper is enough to read everything, I might as well read a couple more pages if the paper is going to feel less crammed (often compression makes understanding harder). Although I might be underestimating the issue.
I believe what's happening here is that Reddit leadership feels like they've been threatened, and are acting accordingly without seriously considering the actual power imbalance. People under privilege rarely, if ever, actually consider their relative power when disagreeing with people in less power than them and have exaggerated responses when people in less power than them try to gain any leverage, such as an app developer trying to negotiate with the platform the app runs on. You can also observe this when people get very upset about $perceived_thing_that_people_less_well_off_than_them_get. I'd list exact examples but I fear I'd distract with people getting angry, lol.

I agree that there's many factors that could affect the "right move" and those should likely be handled by someone qualified.

That said, I think the situation of someone bootstrapping from a job or from another business income (freelancing, agency, etc) would be common and similar enough for some general options and traps to avoid.

I myself have had to learn some very hard lessons on what to do and what not to do. Not because I didn't consult attorneys, tax attorneys, and tax advisors (I did), but the cost of their services have far exceeded the value I could have learned from some online resources. There's also a level of trust you have to put into the specialists to give you the right advice, and that too has been an expensive minefield at times.

Perhaps I'll be the one to write about my experiences here once I'm done going through them ;)
I wrote FooPlot around the same time (2007). Ad revenue supplemented my PhD salary by quite a bit, though later on I couldn't keep up with Desmos as 1 person. The website's been down since AWS phased out EC2 classic instances and I was lazy to move it. But the code for the core library is still here, including the equation parsing which is quite similar to TFA. It's written in 2007-level JavaScript, so this could probably be a lot cleaner now.

'course it's not just him, but it's him and _everyone else_. i'm not sure what their overall intent here was, but it's been a shit show from start to finish, and they gotta at the very least start thinking hard about pausing the rollout till they can get their ducks in a row.
Should this be exactly where the journals have paid editors to do the busy work to match the output they want? Shouldn't there be some standard light format to slap the text and images and possibly references(hardest part) and then editors would take care of the rest?
Doesn't work for me, I'm on Chrome, no adblockers (disabled uBlock), maybe it's because I said no to tracking
Maybe I am a little naive here but…

Wouldn’t an ad support guideline be enough for third party apps to continue coexisting with the official Reddit app?

Call it that, or sdk. But if ad based revenue is so important for Reddit, getting Apollo and the rest to properly display and track ads is imho a no brainer and would totally solve the issue at hand.

As I said maybe I am too naive, and I only see part of the picture.
My assignments (different book) for Intro to AI class were:

Boolean algebra simplifier. Given a LISP expression - for example (AND A (OR C D)) write a function to return the variables needed to make the entire expression TRUE. Return NIL if the expression is a paradox such as (AND A (NOT A)). The expressions that we were to resolve had on the order of 100-200 operators and were deeply nested. I recall that I wrote a function as part of it that I called HAMLET-P that identified terms of the form (OR 2B (NOT 2B)) and rapidly simplified them to TRUE.

Not-brute-force job scheduler. The job-shop scheduling problem ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job-shop_scheduling ) with in order processing of multiple tasks that had dependencies. Any worker could do any task but could only do one task at a time.

The third one I don't remember what it was. I know it was there since the class had four assignments... (digging... must have been something with Prolog)

The last assignment was written in any language (I did it in C++ having had enough of LISP and I had a good model for how to do it in my head in C++). A 19,19,5 game ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M,n,k-game ). Similar to go-maku or pente. This didn't have any constraints that go-maku has or captures that pente has. It was to use a two ply min-max tree with alpha beta pruning. It would beat me 7 out of 10 times. I could get a draw 2 out of 10 and win 1 out of 10. For fun I also learned ncurses and made it so that I could play the game with the arrow keys rather than as '10,9... oh crap, I meant 9,10'.

And I still consider all of those problems and homework assignments as "AI".

From the digging, I found a later year of the class that I took. They added a bit of neural nets in it, but other topics were still there.

> Why does he suggest that they buy his app for $10m, when they can just terminate his API access at a cost of $0

Because according to Reddit, the problem with Apollo is the opportunity cost of Reddit not being able to monetize its users.

Acquiring Apollo is user acquisition. Destroying the app does not necessarily mean that all those users will now start using Reddit's official app and become monetizable, they might just quit Reddit entirely. By acquiring Apollo Reddit could monetize those users through Apollo instead of the official Reddit app.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are globally decentralized. Individual countries may make laws against them as they like but if say the US bans bitcoin trading you can always trade them somewhere else. Binance.com still goes on, it's Binance US where they are freezing the assets.
That's a poor assessment as you're expecting pro features for nothing. Their decision to include adverts does not make them deserving of this.
To be fair, buying 3rd party apps out makes absolutely zero sense when they can just ban them and improve their own client if that aligns with their business priorities.

I stopped reading at that point. I probably would have laughed at the suggestion instead of taking it as blackmail though.
Were the ads a necessary evil in response to the API pricing changes?
The opposing logic, I suppose, is that now there’s no incentive to handle toxic waste recklessly? Or that modern industrialists care about the environment more? Or what?

All evidence points to industry trying to circumvent and negate environmental protections at every opportunity. So all evidence points to a regression if those protections are removed.
So is salt but it’s worth it

Well. The reasoning is still valid. The corporations will follow cheap labor (or total cheapest cost, which labor is big variable).

What you are saying is that both sides have agreed to put policies in place to make foreign goods more expense, to the point that domestic labor can be competitive, and corporations will move manufacturing back to the US.

But as others have posted as questions. Is this sustainable? If the US is not competitive unless barriers are put in place, can that be done indefinably, or will this naturally reverse again when the US Gov can no longer afford to prop up a more expensive and inefficient workforce.

It's definitely a gamble building your business on top of another, much larger company's product.

It's called platform risk, and while every company has it to some degree, if your business is solely dependent on a third party especially one that doesn't have (much) skin in the game (your game, not theirs), that risk becomes existential for your business.

I've seen it before where a company builds something cool, only to be shut down by the larger company who for whatever reason doesn't like what the smaller company is doing.
> Just look at how many big (millions and tens of millions of subscribers) subreddits are signed onto the blackout letter

Is there a running list of subs (over a certain high number of subscribers, to keep it focused) that aren't in the blackout list? That would be interesting to see. Wouldn't be too hard to implement, at least while the API is still free...
Depends on the specific publication/conference within the org. ACM accepts LaTeX or Word. I always write in LaTeX, but got a paper accepted to an ACM conference that wanted Word and my beautiful photo ready paper got borked in the final print. I guess there is significant interest in authoring ACM papers in Word[0].

I've used Mermaid, partly because it integrates well in both GitHub and Notion. It's fine, quite featureful really, but the lack of any ability to control layout properly makes complex schemas quite a mess when rendered. Not sure how others of these declarative, text-based engines deal with that.
How it's similar:

- focused on mastery

- good treatment of math

How it's different:

- doesn't cover elementary school topics

- lessons are text, not video

- paid, not free

- lessons are presented based on what you already know (e.g. you can't choose to study a topic before you've demonstrated mastery of all topics it depends on)

- I pick the next lesson from a very small set (usually 5 options, sometimes fewer), so there's no wasting time choosing what to study next

- really great spaced repetition system that prevents forgetting
Ugh, this is the end of reddit for me.

I didn’t think I was able to quit social media addictions, but I’ve successfully ignored Twitter since Elon took over. I’m confident I can do the same with reddit, although it will be much harder.

I suppose all I really need is like some sort of curated RSS instead.
Exactly. Reddit without auto mod tools (that require API access) gets over run with hate speech and incels.

Reddit won’t work without API access… it just turns into a 4Chan-like cesspool over night without auto moderation.
When you talk about not being able to analyze these based on their code do you mean because today they're all just calling out to OpenAI or whoever?

The risks listed in the article itself mostly seem to fall under the same, non-AI-extension, core problem of "you're given them all your data." And that's a risk for non-AI-based extensions too, but if you look at the code of an AI one, it's gonna be obvious that it's shipping it off to a third party server, right? And once that happens... you can't un-close that door.

(The risks about copyright and such of content you generate by using AI tools are interesting and different, but I don't know that I'd call them security ones.)

The prompt injection one is pretty interesting, but still seems to fall under "traditional" plugin security issues: if you authorize a plugin to read everything on your screen, AND have full integration with your email, or whatever, then... that's a huge risk. The AI/injection part makes it triggerable by a third-party, which certainly raises the alarm level a lot, but also: bad idea, period, IMO.
This is exactly where I sit too.

We currently have financial incentives for producing CO2, which are proving almost impossible to reverse.

But let’s say we reverse them and create incentives for CO2 removal.

How are we going to change the incentive yet again, when it’s time to stop? By the time this happens, the CO2 removal lobby will be strong. Think about the jobs! The taxes! The communities!
Reddit is Digging its own grave. Eternal September awaits all the old school forums that still remain. But perhaps that decentralization will be a good thing in the end.

I think the network effects of Reddit are a lot easier to undo than that of Twitter. There is little core functionality that didn’t exist in forum software from the Naughties.
I used SchemaSpy to great effect for many years, till someone decided it was abandoned and took it over. When I tried again it had become shockingly bloated
presumably in the name of modernity. I just wrote a one pager for the SQL dialect I was in and moved on.
I get that it is java, and bloating is considered normal but as the original author proved, it does not have to be that way all the time.
> In all those cases, there's little or no job growth. Just a couple administrators and engineers. Nobody on the line, because there is no line, just robots and conveyors.

Someone has to maintain the robots and conveyors, unless you’re assuming that has also been automated. I suppose this could also be contracted out if it hasn’t been automated.

The problem is that it is impossible to prove he has never done that other times. He played his hand that he is willing to put words in other people's mouths basically just for entertainment, so why should we believe he hasn't done it in much more important cases?
> Publication is the results.
> The paper wants to maintain a specific look.

Which does the paper want more? To be the first with the results or to appear a particular way? Do the appearances help with "the results?"
I'm dubious that we can do more with less or that doing less is actually even in the cards at all. I see no way to control that on a worldwide basis.

To me this implies the wizard spells (technology) are the only way out. We need to be able to control the climate through direct intervention.
unstable is a bit of an odd fit for most purposes. For 6 months leading up to a stable release it is frozen, so few packages are being updated, then for 6 months after a stable release there is a bunch of churn and things can get a bit unstable, and then for about a year it is like running a rolling release, albeit one that isn't as up-to-date as Arch. I feel most people who want up-to-date packages would be better off running Arch or Fedora.
The impact will be small?

I won't be using Reddit on mobile going forward, and I'll stop using it on desktop when old.reddit inevitably goes away.

That sounds like a pretty big impact for me...
I've been using Debian 11 since after Christmas. Which outdated software am I using? Everything seems just fine as it was on Ubuntu 20.04.
I never asked for them to be paid. I'm saying that reddit can exist due to their generosity, and that these people use third party tools and the API to do this. That's being taken away.
There are many clients for Reddit but this one is my favourite as it's fast and snappy. It introduced experimental gestures which were highly intuitive which I've not seen anywhere else. Excellent focus on content, I'm going to miss it.

It's sad to see so many apps shutting down regardless of what Reddit decides to do post blackout. I suspect there's also an element of relief among these developers not having to spend so much of their time on this anymore.
Heard that before, I am just worried about hardware support, I have to admit.

I really am not keen on manually downloading and loading kernel drivers. :( And I plan to start installing stuff on fairly random old laptops.

Do you have any extended experience with installing FreeBSD on all sorts of machines?
Great! But I imagine a lot of jobs we'd expect to be gaining will be automated. With the state of AI and robotics this trend will accelerate. We also lose a lot of interdependency which has its own problems.
He's probably upset that the online editor is closed source. Personally I think that's a reasonable monetization strategy long term.
Ah, that's nice to hear. This is one of my frustrations with Mermaid - trying to work out he magical correct ordering of entities to render something that isn't too chaotic.
the wikipedia entry for taurine states that the human body can synthesize taurine from cysteine as well.

the wikipedia entry also says dietary taurine intake is rather low, considering the doses the main article talks about, about 40-400mg/day taurine intake.

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurine
I don't think it's anything confounding; it's likely just age. Old people are really sensitive about drinking caffeinated coffee late in the day for reasons I never understood until my mid-30s, where suddenly I had to watch soda intake after 6pm or I'd get insomnia.

(Also, use phone/monitor night mode and don't do anything intense within 1hr of bed-- no gaming, no exercise, no forums, no outrage-inducing news, etc. Wind down with something boring.)

> Perhaps this is true in the field discussed in the essay, but in my field (a natural science) formatting is taken care of with latex stylesheets, so the effort of switching to another journal format usually amounts to changing a few lines.

That doesn't sound like the LaTeX I use. When you switch to another stylesheet, it often changes key dimensions such as page size and the number of columns. Then you have to reformat and possibly even redesign the figures, tables, equations, pseudocode, and so on. And it's quite likely that some packages you are using don't work properly with the new stylesheet, or even don't work at all, so you get some weird issues to debug.

But that's about the technical layout, which isn't the concern here, as the publisher is usually responsible for that. In biomedical fields, manuscripts are usually just Word documents with some basic formatting. The real issue is that different journals have different ideas about the length, content, and structure of the paper. When you switch to another journal, the paper itself often needs a major revision.
To me, as a native speaker, it sounds like it was a serious offer but he didn't know how else to bring it up. Which I don't blame him. And I think he knew what the Reddit community response was going to be like and he sure as hell worded his original post that started this off really well to make sure the reddit community went nuts.

For me "go quiet" doesn't even make sense in that conversation other than the way it was taken. In the terms of loud api user, it would still have been a large user of the API if Reddit owned it or not.

I can't wait until next month for it to all blow over. Because I really don't see anyone building a competitor.
