The battlefield is nothing like StarCraft? Think of SC as a top down model for how a real battlefield map can be. Just give each actor more realistic traits. So no strange Protoss or Zerg creatures! Perhaps base it on a more probabilistic model that treats each contact more as an uncertainty, like it would be under the fog of war.

Suddenly you've got a viable model to use on real tactical maps, that is strikingly similar to SC2, though adapted to real life conditions. That is, if you're able to track - or in the least theorize the position of - each individual "piece" on that board (so soldiers and armour, etc).

A real life soldier does perhaps have some different qualities and abilities than a space marine, but it's still a great starting point for building a more realistic model.

So say, your model looks more like Arma 3... Only top down. Now, I've been in the army, so I can tell you first hand that many aspects of Arma 3 is scarily realistic. Other aspects, not so much. But if you add in some modding, and all that is solved.

It's the same principle. You've already have a base AI to "play the game" and now you adapt each information point to reflect real life instead of game mechanics.

Sure, this sort of AI is brand new, so there would of course be things to iron out. Perhaps you need to use other statistical models to better capture the fog of war. But at the end of it, I think it can be done. Hell, perhaps it can even be used to fight crime. What do I know, perhaps it already is, but nobody wants to talk about it, kind of like how it was such a great moment when it dropped that New Scotland Yards used graph databases to solve cases before it was cool.
Easier for those who sell themselves to Google or pay the Apple premium. For people who believe in freedom it means a chipcard. Which can be a real challenge because then the number of sellers gets very small and they might be very far from where you'd like to buy it.
It sounds like there is a mix and the most vocal ones are those whose preferred method of working is being threatened. :)

I slack off in office for a similar duration that I do at home. They might be different but the "productivity" is identical if not favoured at home because I'm more comfortable. I'll spend time configuring my nvim or reading some interesting but unrelated technical article/book or getting snacks or HN or reddit in the office. At home I might just take a nap or shower or go to the gym (or do one of the aforementioned things).

People operate differently but for me I'm only going to produce as much value as I believe I'm getting paid for. Not more and not less. I see the request to go back to office as managers believing they can act as a coercive force which might work on some (perhaps many) people.
Yes, valuing simple and thus very robust things that you can have full control over is somehow something that can just have the explanation you've given, and nothing else. :)
Yeah, for Firefox there's a reason. It was even broken a few weeks ago there (the scrolling)
Interesting, so Red Bull is actually healthy?
Reddit could have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat simply by purchasing Apollo and making it available as an official app. So many people would have paid a significant monthly fee for an ad-free, quality mobile reddit experience. But no, they had to go full-on maximalist destroy-all-intruders mode, and now they've got an unnecessary PR nightmare on their hands. From the perspective of fiduciary responsibility, reddit is completely deficient. What a bunch of idiots.
I think it's interesting that subreddits and things are shutting down or going dark collectively, but I haven't heard of a concerted effort on the part of users to stage a massive "log out" and "day off" from using Reddit.

If a significant chunk of the userbase logged out and didn't use the website for a day or two, that would actually impact the bottom line. So why not organize a "users union"?
Y'all can't behave

There is no consistency. I have a comment at -2 right now. Over the past few days it oscillated between positive and negative scores. Someone replied to it and my response is currently +6.
Why even be that specific? My matter holders are made of matter.
You forgot muscle and protein. I believe your body will more readily burn muscle mass than fat as fat is energy “reserves”
Good ol tech like AI mosquito laser zapping. Marketed for offlabel uses too.
It certainly is when they're to blame.
Upvote. Even just a review of alternative models and some basic implications would be extremely helpful. It seems like worker owned software companies could be very effective.
> they're going to completely get rid of that content, eventually

Or they want to capture all the ad revenue for that content and have a plausible excuse to ban 3rd party access.
> In the general case, having delusions and other psychotic issues are not selected for traits with positive outcomes for the individuals having them. Your life is hard if you have them and conventional success is rare.

It varies per delusion - for example, most successful people suffer from the delusion that they have ~omniscient level knowledge of what's going on - if it were not for this misplaced confidence within human consciousness, I suspect it would be much more difficult to get things done (though, a lot of the dumb stuff that's done would get avoided as well, so it's a tough call what's net best).
Imagine having to testify in court that you didn't actually say the things that the other attorney found in your social media posts, knowing that you really didn't say them but also knowing that no one's going to believe you. "Oh, sure you were hacked. _eye roll_"
> I mean that was really stupid of him, but it seems like the kind of thing someone would do impulsively one time and then never again after getting reprimanded.

Only a founder would get reprimanded for manipulating production data, anyone else would get fired on the spot (as they should). I'm not here to argue which action is worse, I'm simply pointing out that this guy clearly has a control issue and poor judgment (which is common among CEO's, granted) and it's been obvious for years. Of course he's gonna distort his reality to suit his needs, that's what these guys do.

People don't learn when they get away with things like this, they just go bigger and crazier.
I’m wondering what pitfalls we’ll fall into here. Twenty years ago algae hyped up many of the same benefits and that didn’t really pan out.
Maybe, but that's not within my control. Take it up with management.

Doesn't matter though for me because I'm in my home office.
I use reddit, as I do most of my surfing, very successful with my smartphone browser.

I know reddit is pushing it's all but even that is not 3th party apps.
So is Reddit
Wages are quite good especially for the low skills/paid training
Google also collects your data outside Google owned experiences.
Why would they? What's the competition?

The problem isn't technical.
The neoliberals insisted on that so that the very poor or those without a bank account would not be able to get it, not because of any kind of tracking. No system in Germany has gates and ticket checks are so rare, it's not really viable for tracking.
The reality is that even Tom Jobim didn't make much money from this song. He later said in an interview that the contract he signed gave most of the money to the American recording company and the writer of the English lyrics. He received only a small amount of the profits from this song.
Realistically this is the right time for the large subreddits to move onto a different platform. The moderators and the community ultimately have the power here, not Reddit. And in the sense that those communities are just forums, good old PHPbb could be the answer.

You could just as easily call medicine "speculative biochemistry" or call chemistry "speculative particle physics".

Not being able to model something at the lowest possible level doesn't make something inherently unscientific.

It certainly makes it harder to test hypotheses and harder to be certain of the results, but it can still be scientific.
>A plurality of visitors to HN are from the US

Any source for that claim?

>This post is during peak US hours

And the post will remain in other regions peak hour when they visit it, not to mention it still peak hour for Canada, S.America and even parts of Europe too.

>This website is owned and operated by a US based company.

If you mean the job site, then it should be specified in the title, if you mean HN, then that’s irrelevant.

Appreciate the response, the world and tech are much bigger than the US to assume that, and definitely it isn’t silly to question that narrow mindset.
There's three modes. Balanced is awful, the other two are good (Creative and Precise). Balanced run a faster optimized model, that is dumber.
Sad news for Apollo users. Reddit's API pricing change hit hard. With estimated $20M annual bill, it's impossible to maintain service. Users, consider not refunding to support the developers in these trying times.
The true believers keep throwing their litter all over my nice clean floor, that's why I don't want them playing in """their""" litter box.

Reads to me like this Christian guy asked for 10 mill to shut down his app. Why would they want to pay him that, instead of HIM paying THEM 20 mill? They are happy with him just going away. Sounds to me like a threat without having actually anything in hand to threaten with.
Damage control, maybe too little too late.

Discord "servers" aren't independent communities. Discord will be the next platform to get MBA'd, and then it'll be off to somewhere else. I'm not sure how they've survived this long, frankly. They have no visible source of income except Nitro, and I can't imagine that comes close to covering expenses.
it was such a huge and obvious risk to stake your entire business on the whims of another

How is this different than any other business running (part of) their operations at a large cloud provider? Or a business having to renew their contract with the power company?
It's a good initial thought, GPT had the same thought and said similar things. (I had no initial thought, since the text book spoon fed me the proof.)

The proof is (briefly): A and AA^T have the same rank. AA^T is a linear transformation of the columns in A and spans the same number of dimensions and is thus the same subspace. It applies to non-square matrices as well.
> Whether or not this is an issue for many people, and whether or not Apple will address it, isn't really relevant

Why/how is this not relevant in a broader sense?

Or are you just saying this isn’t relevant to you personally?
This could be huge depending on how well it works and how long until they allow commercial use.

That's a nice tip. I'll try it. I had faced issues trying to run Automatic 1111 + oogabooga webui because of conda conflicts.
I'm surprised the greenhouse isn't larger and/or there isn't significant research there about growing under man-made conditions. I would think for example NASA might be able to use it as a research center while also benefitting the diets of the rest of the researchers there.
You should listen to the audio transcript that was posted in the original link. I believe it will dispel that notion.
Oh yes absolutely but I don't think they will die on this PR hill, that's exactly my point.

For me I will continue to use reddit as I have before.
They are rolling out to other browsers starting this week, slowly (these dumb troll rollout)
Well, yeah, but the problem is the content and the users. Can't code those.
$10 a year doesn't cover the estimated $2.50 per user per month cost after the API changes go through (especially considering Apple's cut). That estimated cost is also substantially higher then the estimated revenue reddit gets per user.

The issue isn't that third party developers now have to pay for API access. That was a long time coming, and I don't know of anyone opposed to this. The issue is the price seems completely unreasonable, and the time frame is ridiculously short.

Definitely very captueable by n95 or the madcap Dyson face mask. Catches most 0.3 micron particles.

Just uggg at the idea of masking regularly.
Framework's modular design has been advertised as a solution to upgradability, which is huge, but I see the real strength in being able to have a GPU plugged in when I'm using my laptop at home, and swapping it out for an extra battery when I'm using my laptop away from an outlet.

Being able to transform the capabilities of the laptop based on your situation is a huge game changer.
Similar situation, he was surprised by how white they were too. I drink almost everything that isn't water through a straw and never swish it around. He said that's probably why the only reason he had to do any work was due to the very back edge of my teeth where even when drinking through a straw the liquid touches.
You need an API key to access the reddit API. There's no MITM, it's just that requests made through Apollo are tracked to Apollo. And Apollo will be charged for those requests.
I think it's actually brilliant. People aren't going to leisure trip at commuting hours, so it allows to keep a schedule outside of busy hours when you are normally way under capacity.
That's sad.

I started using the mobile site after Reddit bought Alien Blue, and I saw how the user experience gradually deteriorated to push their mobile app.

I occasionally used Apollo as an alternative, and I can understand the sentiment of the users. As a reluctant iOS user, Apollo was one of the things that kept me on the platform.

Seeing the direction thar Reddit has been taking, I hope a new platform comes to take its place with the focus on discussions/community.
all the correct observations about averages aside, quantity!=quality
> Why charge?
> It’s very expensive to run – it takes millions of dollars to effectively subsidize other people’s businesses / apps.
> It’s an extraordinary amount of data, and these are for-profit businesses built on our data for free.

This is rich. The entire for-profit Reddit business is based on people contributing data for free, subsidizing their for-profit business. These guys couldn’t be any more clueless.
shout out to the Arc browser, which has it's own browser sandbox and WYSIWYG tools to build JS snippets that run in your browser. I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but they're really changing the way I look at browsing online.
Given the API issues, sure seems like a bad idea to buy at IPO time
Is there any online content today similar to these magazines?
> Why would they, even if they could?

Because people are not always rational? Or because non-technical people (and technical people too, just less often) don't always make good technical decisions?

I can totally imagine a case where non-techie Joe starts a small shop, wants a website, sees an ad for a cheap hosting for non-techies, one-click installs Wordpress, goes to settings and ticks the checkboxes because "require secure devices" sounds secure. Or some other reason - people do weird things all the time, I can't count how many times I've looked at someone's server or website (including my own, especially after some time passes) and wondered why something is weird or plain wrong.

You're probably right, though. Attestation is very unlikely to be an issue, if Passkey implementations that don't have it will be popular enough to matter soon enough. And given that 1Password is spearheading it and Apple doesn't have it either - this is probably going to be true.

Attestation could become a real issue only if vast majority of available implementations by the time sites will start to adopt Passkeys will all provide it. Then site owners could make those mistakes and not even realize them. But that's not what seems to be happening so I'm sure attestation won't be a big deal.
Because it would be more directly inspired by real examples, and make their testing set more believable. Otherwise, they're more likely to be making elementary mistakes about what constitutes a good test of machine-generated text in general.
in TFA paying a price isn't a problem. The insanely high price isn't necessarily even a dealbreaker (Apollo is a paid app already, though it'll be a steep as hell increase). The issue is he (and everyone else) had 30 days notice between the new pricing and the pricing going into force, which is not enough to actually adapt to the changes without going deeply into the read in the meantime (for example, much of Apollo's users are on a yearly plan).
The most interesting bit about their answer is that temperature is in Celsius with Fahrenheit in brackets.
Possible? Yes. Reasonable? Almost certainly no. It's not just that you'd have to constantly keep up with changing content (which might even be hidden through endless obscure javascript) and all sorts of possible filtering mechanisms on reddit's server side, you'd also make yourself vulnerable to a boatload of issues if you want to publish your app in official channels, since you are violating reddit's TOS. The cost to benefit ratio is exceedingly unfavourable. Since reddit has a huge following, some people might try, but I wouldn't bet on anyone succeeding in a big way.

How do you keep small independent communities both small and interesting?

Wait, what? x86 has specialized instructions for all kinds of things but doesn't have absolute value?

> Me: No, no, I'm sorry. Yeah one more time. I was just saying if the opportunity cost of Apollo is currently $20 million a year. And that's a yearly, apparently ongoing cost to you folks. If you want to rip that band-aid off once. And have Apollo quiet down, you know, six months. Beautiful deal. Again this is mostly a joke, I'm just saying if the opportunity cost is that high, and if that is something that could make it easier on you guys, that could happen too. As is, it's quite difficult.

> Reddit: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you. I think it's… I don't know what you mean by quiet down. I find that to be-

> Me: No, no, sorry. I didn't mean that to-

> Reddit: I'm going to very straightforward to you too, it sounds like a threat. And I'm just like "Oh interesting". Because one of the things we're trying to do is say "You have been using our API free of cost for many, many years and we have absolutely sanctioned - you have not broken any rules." And now we're changing our perspective for what we're telling you - and I know you disagree with it. That hey, we want to operate on a thing that is financially, you know, footing. And so hopefully you mean something completely different from what I said when you say like "go quietly", I just want to make sure.

> Me: How did you take that, sorry? Could you elaborate?

> Reddit: Oh, like, because you were like, "Hey, if you want this to go away".

> Me: I said "If you want Apollo to go quiet". Like in terms of- I would say it's quite loud in terms of its API usage.

> Reddit: Oh, go quiet as in that. Okay, got it. Got it. Sorry.

> Me: Like it's a very-

> Reddit: Yeah, that's a complete misinterpretation on my end.

> Me: Yeah. No, no, it's all good.

> Reddit: I apologize. I apologize immediately.

> Me: No, no, no, it's all good.

> Reddit: Because what we're hearing in some conversations is folks are, you know, like in other- making threats, and we're like "Hey, that's not a conversation that we want to have". So I immediately apologize.

> Me: Oh, no, no, it's all good. I'm sorry if it sounded like that.

I don't think you deserve all the down votes. I grew up in the U.S. in the 90's drinking healthy 1% or skim milk, then lived in Europe for two years drinking probably 3.5% or 4% and I tried going back to low fat milk and just can't. Whole milk all the way

I can see how many applications might want to read the page, but in my case it's not necessary. My extension tries to add a <div> under the <body> element, regardless of what's going on in the page. If there's no <body>, my extension stops working but the browser keeps going.

In short, if there were separate "read" and "write" permissions, I would only need "write". For privacy-concerned people, that's a very important distinction.

A second mistake is thinking these types aren't in lots of other businesses and even government! Just happening on smaller scale to smaller groups.
It's still rolling out to browsers. it's on flighting fase, not general available. Each browser will have a different flight configuration and set of features... Cleaning cookies might help get you in the flight.
But it has generated enough bad PR and user bleeding to significantly push competitors, which eventually will financially hurt Reddit - or possibly even kill it.

An old-school investor would be fuming right now, but VCs only care about IPOs and they probably blessed this strategy already.
It's not a blind spot, it's very on brand for a VC message board to have a lot of "greed is good" philosophy people who think that making money by mild trickery is perfectly moral, and that there's nothing wrong with getting people to buy into your fancy MLM so you can extract some wealth from the system.

The only value crypto has to the vast majority of people is to exit back into fiat, and doing that is only profitable if the trade value is higher than when you bought in, and that requires new money keep entering the system to be on the other side of your exit trade.
