On one project I had someone trying to slow us down (we were making them look bad) with rules lawyering about our API docs. In the end I ended up prettying up our integration tests quite a bit, and using jcite to combine snippets of the integration tests with our inline documentation.

I couldn't quite get it to the company standard, but I got it down to under an hour worth of work for our tech writer per release.

In the end it was a week's work for me and it improved our integration tests. Not the constant draw on resources and sanity that I think someone was after.
I'm surprised to see no mention of exercise in the comment section. It seems that working out produces "[...] increased the concentrations of taurine metabolites in blood, which might partially underlie the antiaging effects of exercise."

For the able-bodied, it may be enough to incorporate more exercise into our life?

I can’t wait for Reddit to crash and burn because of this.

And no, I don’t feel bad for the workers because they can (and still have time to) unionize and stop the madness.

I don't know of any such plans, but it seems unlikely that global industrial civilization will reduce its CO2 emissions anytime soon, which means that very hard times are coming for billions of people's children. Someone will be desperate enough to try it.
Man, I remember before the war, seeing a train in Berlin where the destination board was Moskau (Moscow in German). I imagined taking that train might evoke feelings of the cold war times. Sadly now there's a hot war.

Or maybe it was the plague...
The year is 2030, Reddit is now on it's 38th iteration. Steve and team have been slaving away, year after year, trying to come up with ideas on how to make the loads quicker, memes funnier, all while also pumping in 2000 metric tonnes of adverts/second. As it dawns on them that the app is somehow even slower, they frown. But Steve notices something out of the corner of his eye (despite all of the full page ads)... what could it be? It is a notification that ad-based revenue has gone UP!!! Everyone rejoices, Reddit is saved and Steve-and-Co have once again saved the world. Hooray.
Wow, up until this point I thought the Reddit api drama was a bit tragic, but the inevitable endpoint of Reddit being a profit-driven corporation.

This is straight-up villainy.
nothing wrong with benefiting yourself and your family - the problem is doing that unfairly at the expense of someone else, which it appears he has tried hard not to do here.
I agree & I'm glad we've come to a resolution
I utilized a JavaScript script to delete all of my comments and posts from the past ten years. Despite adding delays between deletions, it took multiple tries over several days because some posts kept reappearing.

I guess I want to emphasize that despite not being 3p client user (I was using old.reddit.com), this situation hurts sites reputation enough to bleed me as an user, enough for me to go through the trouble of actually wiping the account, in stead of leaving my content with me under <deleted>.

It is unlikely they'll feel short-term traffic effects of this, but content quality will suffer for sure, will see how that'll pan out. (From the safety of HN comments, of course).

Good. The CCS connector is hideous, sags under its own weight, and most CCS chargers just fail to start charging. Usually the car is expecting current when it is plugged in, and by the time you open up the app and figure out how to pay, the car has given up on the charger and won't charge when the charger is ready.

Hopefully they can work it out so that all cars can just plug in and everything is negotiated for you without any apps.
> Having macros does not equal having a DSL.

Any set of non-trivial non-standard macros is a DSL, by definition. You have to know what a macro does and what it is for in order to even understand which of its similar-looking keyword or positional arguments are evaluated and which are not, how they relate to each other, etc, etc. I really don't see what you are arguing about here, or to what end.
> Quite a bit after the opium wars

Ah, now we are moving the goal posts. Got it.
I mean yes that's my opinion, but it's important to look at possible neutral interpretations.

I don't think there is a neutral interpretation better than "the_donald was a lot of trouble for reddit as a business and social network, because they caused hostility, even by their existence, and it's not reddit's business to make humans less tribal, so why continue supporting them? Especially after they were clearly brigaiding and manipulating front page content. This front page manipulation was different from what the reddit owners wanted to be on the front page, which for the most part is benign and fun stuff that's easy to monetize."
Making a Strategic Card Game
Comments are content too and often more insightful. Moderators for all the bashing some deservedly get are key to keep content creators happy. Each forum is a small organization. The sum of the heads of these orgs. and the identities of users is what makes Reddit valuable. We are however entering an age where identity becomes more portable so mess with all the leads of your teams at your own peril.

In my CS field, it is common to submit to different conferences at least if a paper gets rejected (because rejections can be very superficial). Fitting for a new conference template often also imposes rewrites, because of different length requirements, changes in length in the new latex template, different accessibility support (e.g., image descriptions in acm) and many more subtle changes. It was a major pain for me. Conferences especially have this problem because they lack major revisions and instead reject. But they are the goto way of publishing.

The journals I interacted with were less of a problem, as they just handed out major revisions. The only rejection I remember was with a recommendation for a more fitting journal.
By creating something they couldn't.
Dunno, the vast majority of phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops have had 64 or 128 bit wide memory interfaces for decades. Apple has a high profit market and a vertical market, unlike the competition. Apple skipped GPUs and did it their own, and the GPU is the primary justification for the 100, 200, 400, or 800GB/sec available with today's apple silicon.

Don't think Intel, AMD, or phone/laptop/desktop ARMs (from anyone but apple) have any near term plans for great memory bandwidth.

Sad. Obviously AMD can do it, they ship a much nicer memory interface on the PS5 and XboxX, but don't ship anything over 128 bit until you move up to $$$$ workstations with the threadripper (256 bit), threadripper pro (512 bit) or Epyc/Genoa (768 bit) wide memory. Even the Epyc/Genoa socket @ 460GB/sec doesn't match the M2 ultra (800GB/sec), despite the bare CPU being more expensive than most of the Mac studios sold.
These are all very different from the “HUD goes dark and my meat brain panics, causing me to get into an accident” scenario that GP is talking about.
I don't get your comment
In this case you can use exactly the same method as in the paper to verify. Hallucinations are easy to verify in many cases.

Good ones discovered, shitty ones invented.
Nobody has to prove anything, that's my entire point. Both stances are valid and it's a company's leadership's decision how to handle their employees and how to structure their operations.

So if a company says, "we prefer a hybrid work model", then shouting out "but look fully remote projects can work as is evidenced by all these successful ones" simply doesn't matter.

My comment (that you were responding to) was explaining that apparently there are leaders who have seen a difference in product quality, velocity, collaboration, team morale, what have you, between fully remote and pre-covid in-office work styles. Presumably they believe that bringing people together is best for their company/product/team. You simply can't argue with that, at least not generally, since it's a valid viewpoint.

Rhetorically the existence of anecdotes to the contrary does not invalidate an argument/position/viewpoint.
Tokens are the primitives that most LLMs (and broadly a lot of NLP) works with. While, you and I would expect whole-words to be tokens, many tokens are shorter - 3 to 4 characters - and don't always match the sentence structure you and I expect.

This can create some interesting challenges and unexpected behavior. It also makes certain things, like vectorization, a challenge since tokens may not map 1:1 with the words you intend to weight them against.
There are some amazingly good alternatives. I personally use Boost which presents threads in a much more readable manner and allows you to easily swap between different contexts. Before they disappear it might be good to give some alternatives a try and see just how terrible the native app experience is compared to what it could be.

No, it means it's safe to utterly disregard clickbait articles whose titles ask stupid questions designed to entice you to read it so they can earn ad money.
Most of that evidence is for really bad air in cities, though? Akin to the open sewage river from years ago, such that I don't see much debate there.

Note, please don't take my post here as argument against having targets for ventilation. I don't intend it that way. I do think many people over state the dangers of in house stoves and such. I also have no problem saying that we have advanced enough that well ventilated house should be the default.

Stated differently. I have no problem mandating child seats. I do wish the safety comparisons for them wasn't to "someone completely unbuckled in the vehicle." So, for air, I do not argue against better codes for ventilation. I also don't expect it to have an impact on my life. My last house didn't even have forced air anything, whereas my current house does. I feel basically the same between the two. Such that all of the stories of ventilation being a miracle cure rub me very much the wrong way.

I am tempted to make an allusion that involves us, the making of foie gras and Reddit's ad-tech supremacy. With Steve being the guy who nails the ducks to the wood, forces the funnel down their throat and. . . well ya, you get the point.
> Slightly tangential question: Is there a distro that has a stable "core" (kernel, maybe some userspace libraries) but uses rolling releases for everything else? Ideally, that would probably give you the best of both worlds for a personal machine.

I'm aware this isn't exactly what you were asking for—and with the disclaimer that I spent a lot of years as a Linux desktop user, so I do have a great deal of experience with how that "half" lives, but: this is one of the things that's so nice about MacOS + Homebrew. It's a very stable core (up through and including the graphical environment—after all, if that breaks on a workstation/desktop, that's nearly as bad as the whole OS breaking) that only updates every couple years (and I can ignore the updates a long time without notable consequences) with a very-high-package-count package manager that's rolling-release on top of it, for most of the software I directly use.

I'd love to see a Linux distro that worked that way—I don't think I could go back to doing package management the typical Linux way, on my workstation. I've done rolling-release, I've done everything-stable-and-maybe-some-bodged-in-extra-repositories-for-newer-stuff, and both suck, for my needs, compared to this arrangement. Stable core + rolling applications is great, would be thrilled to see more Linux distros explore that kind of thing.

> Instead I’m solidly confident that macOS as a daily driver is the right choice for a busy developer who doesn’t want to mess with stuff.

This is true in the way you intend it, but also in a way that you don't.

Yes, macOS "just works" for most stuff--so you don't have to mess with it.

However, if you hit one of those things that does not just work, you can't mess with it so you still don't have to mess with it.

(Yes, I have hit them and they were enough to make me leave the macOS system. USB and Bluetooth are perennial frustrations for me with macOS and there are active threads with dozens of pages of complaints--so it isn't just me.)
That’s a disaster
I'm not talking about environmental protections at all, I'm talking specifically about the EPA. It would be interesting to see how it has grown over the last 50 years and the size of the administration vs people who do stuff (enforcement etc). If it's like most government agencies, a hard reset is not a bad idea.

Like Apollo. He could build a backend himself.
If papers are basically write-only, then it makes sense to reduce the effort required by the authors.

But if they're meant to be consumed by an actual audience, it makes sense to make that part easier.

If one author spending 10 hours reduces the amount 10,000 people need to read the paper by 10 minutes, that's a savings overall that is worth it.

To give people an idea what regional trains means:

On regional trains you can travel Germany from north to south in less than 14 hours with 5 changes as opposed 8 hours with 2 changes for 125 EUR one-way on long-distance trains.

With the 49 EUR/month ticket you can hop off the train anytime you are tired of the journey. Can't do that with the 125 EUR one-time, one-way long-distance train ticket.

I totally see young and elderly people do this on regional trains.
Not only adverts - animated adverts. They are serving data from a free API and looking to piggy back off it. Not only is my assessment not "poor", it is too kind to the developers.

KeenWrite Themes[1] are instructions that tell ConTeXt how to typeset XHTML documents (content) into PDF files (presentation). I made a tutorial[2] that shows how my FOSS desktop text editor, KeenWrite[3], allows users to write in Markdown to typeset a document against a particular theme.

Before it can be used for scientific papers, KeenWrite (by way of a flexmark-java extension) needs cross-references, which, unfortunately, aren't part of the CommonMark specification.

I posit that the vast majority of LaTeX users don't grok how to separate content from presentation. When I asked a question on TeX.SE[4] about how to adjust the line spacing between enumerated items (spanning a couple dozen enumerated lists), the vast majority of people voted for the answer of using `\itemsep0em` to tweak each list individually. The correct answer, IMO, is to fix the problem globally, and not waste time tweaking individual lists.

For "not too tech savvy" clients, we take over the operations as well. How is this code deployed exactly? If they have their ops team, you should be talking to the ops team. If they don't, you should be asking them how will they be handling ops, and if they don't know what ops is, you should be explaining them what ops is, demonstrating that you can do it, and charging them for it.

Based on many of the mods' behavior, that might actually be a big win for users. Their persecution and abuse of users makes Reddit the cesspool that it is.

After all, Reddit is so shitty that HN will ban you for pointing out behavior here as "Reddit-like."

I think you’re wrong - the audience that Reddit was built on is paying attention to this, and it’s going to have a lot of knock on effects. People who have been around for a while. Hell, I was one of the people that moved from Digg to Reddit in 2009 and I’m barely in my thirties.

Do I think it’s going to kill Reddit? No. But I think this is going to have a large effect on their IPO and they will be treated as a hostile entity going forward than a neutral one, and that will add up over time. There’s no plausible deniability.

I strongly believe the tech just wasn’t there 10 years ago. It shouldn’t have taken as long as it did to make a modular laptop, but making some ten billion smartphones (and the constant drive to make them ever thinner and smaller) made it so we can pack far more power into a smaller space.

Modularity and repairability is always going to lead to less space efficient designs. I will gladly concur that Apple and others have taken severe advantage of this in an excuse to push planned obsolescence, long after anyone cared about shaving another millimeter from a device. But there was absolutely a time where it just wasn’t feasible to make a laptop do what people wanted, at the desired price point, and also make it modular. Computer architecture’s all about tradeoffs and there just wasn’t a viable product on that part of the “efficient frontier.” Similar argument explains why gaming laptops were also a massive disappointment for so many years. There are conflicting requirements.

People also didn’t really care as much about right to repair, when hardware improvements made you want to upgrade every few years anyway, and we didn’t have such rapacious anti-consumer monopolies.
Birds of a feather. Presumably the board and major investors have similar ethical standards.
LLMs don’t really ‘know’ anything though, right?

It’s a billion monkeys on a billion rigged typewriters.

When the output is a correct answer or pleasing sonnet, the monkeys don’t collectively or individually understand the prompt or the response.

Humans just tweak the typewriters to make it more likely the output will be more often reasonable.

That’s my personal conclusion lately. LLMS will be really cool, really helpful and really dangerous… but I don’t think they’ll be really very close to intelligent.
