I’m pretty convinced that given the userbase, there exists a small team of exceptional marketers, engineers, and product designers who could come up with a “classic” reddit which could operate at a profit. A combination of ads, API limiting, and a monthly premium charge for some super turbo user features.

The product itself is _done_. The code has been _written_, one can host their own open source reddit this very moment. Image/video storage has long been a problem for reddit, so perhaps users will have to get used to YouTube and Imgur again.

I think people are making too many excuses for Reddit when they act as if the product itself is unmonetizable. It’s not, they largely just hired too aggressively and made some design decisions which have been broadly poorly received.

They’ve effectively owned the space since 2008. I think in another world with different leadership Reddit could be in a much healthier position than it is right now.
We have price as a proxy precisely because consumers can't accurately evaluate the quality of all goods, especially in an age where spectacle marketing dominates.
This was the goal with ConvoStack which allows people to implement our IAgent Express js interface with any custom Langchain agent. We saw this as an issue with other chatbot platforms which were limiting for developers. Comes with pre-built React components and Redis for caching as well to easily have production-ready chat interface. It's completely open-source too so can be self-hosted and modified to your liking. As a disclaimer, I helped develop this but would love for you to check it out and see if this is something you're looking for.

No, you are confusing Green Manure crops with Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria that work in symbiosis with legumes and clover and some other things where the nitrogen is extracted from the air. With Green Manure you just dig it into the soil or let it die back - many people like to leave the roots to rot in the ground without pulling them up, this is called No Till.

It you do pull up a clover you may see small nodules or balls. These contain the bacteria sites - so you can tell this way if your soil has the required bacteria - if not you can buy it in pellet for to add to the soil, or just nab some soil from another garden and put it in yours.

Try the plantings again, try more fertiliser, water and remember it takes a few years to get a great garden.

This is true in the case of content that doesn't care about SEO. Reddit cares very very much about SEO, so it can never truly block bots.

Wow..... I have to completely disagree with you and feel quite sorry that's the way you feel about your life. You sound similar to the Japanse Hikikomori men that I read about.

1. People do not really go into nature to "isolate" themselves. As you said, you can do that in your own house. There's a plethora of reason nature is good for.

2. Everything else you're listing as "advantages" are less equivalents of what can be done in real life already.

3. Hanging out with friends virtually is no where near the same emotionally or physically. This has been scientifically proven. You NEED to be talking to people in person and interacting with them. Otherwise, you will be emotionally stunted.
The fact that this story was broken by Darcy is just *chef's kiss*:

From the Atlantic piece:

"Licht was still coming to terms with the ferocity of the backlash later that night when CNN’s popular Reliable Sources newsletter landed in his inbox. He read the opening line in disbelief: 'It’s hard to see how America was served by the spectacle of lies that aired on CNN Wednesday evening,' Licht’s own media reporter, Oliver Darcy, wrote.

Licht could handle being ridiculed by his media rivals. But being publicly scolded by someone on his own payroll—on the biggest night of his career—felt like a new level of betrayal. Licht, who just hours earlier had expressed ambivalence to me about how the event played, went into war mode."

I'm using LlamaIndex way more these days, mostly because the big use cases from enterprise orgs is around using their own data in novel ways. it makes much more sense for backend tasks.

that said, while there's some clear crossover between the two, i find myself using langchain for things like huggingface embeddings for local models, and other helpers that work well with llamaindex.

somewhat akin to a data warehouse and all the techniques and abstractions that go into modeling it for non-technical end users, llamaindex makes a lot of that much easier to work with as a developer. structured and unstructured data can be indexed side by side, and the auto retriever functions they've recently built out work really well once you've got data indexed in a sensible way. our next step is to put a simple UI on top of it all with filters (like a dashboard) that pass metadata filters to the llamaindex autoretriever.

these patterns may not be exactly right today, but I don't see any others focusing on this area. just throwing all of your docs haphazardly into an index and calling it a day is no different than tossing all your data into a single database schema without any rhyme or reason, and hoping your dashboards can do 'magic' on top of it.
Right, but it seems it is constant enough in the near term for practical purposes.
Mentioned this in a preview reply but this was something Convostack wanted to solve by allowing anyone to integrate their Langchain agent with a production-ready chatbot. It's completely open-source and also has pre-built React UI components. As a disclaimer I helped work on the project but curious to hear what you guys think: https://github.com/ConvoStack/convostack
The title is misleading. Most large enough games do use databases in some form, just like a lot of software.

If the title was a bit more accurate to its content, it would avoid a lot of disagreements here.

"Building games with AI agents? Use a graph database." -- or something like that.
I feel like there should be enforcement against scams, and those people need to be punished harshly. But if you want to spend your money on something useless, that's not the government's business.
> the idea of “just” raising enough money to make everyone employees isn’t feasible or realistic

I didn't mean that everyone should be an employee. But some subsystems don't have enough maintainer capacity, while there are firms that want to push patches into those parts of the code base. None of them individually find it worthwhile to pay for a full-time maintainer, but maybe they could share the cost and hire one through the Linux Foundation?

The "Native" part of the site name refers to the fact that they are a source for seeds traditionally grown by Native American farmers and passed down as seed stock. They are effectively heirloom varieties with specific traits that allow them to grow in the environment where the tribal suppliers live.

If you read any of the seed descriptions you can tell that most seeds are sourced from plant varieties developed by specific tribes.

I'm not sure why they should be expected to include "American", "US", "Arizona", or "USA" in their domain name when discovering this fact is as easy as loading a web page.

Just think about all the other web sites out there with domain names that give no indication of where they might be located and the gibberish names they bought for themselves.

It does not sound like you have a better data source and are working backwards to explain the discrepancy.

Instead it sounds like you are reaching for excuses to ignore what you wish to be not-true. You clearly care a lot about gaming on Mac. Sadly Apple does not care. Hence how a rather decent US PC market share translates to trivial games market share.

When Apple starts caring they have the money to buy ports. There is no need for excuses.
So Daft is a distributed Polars ?

If we set apart the distributed part, what's the "killer feature" of Daft for trying to compete with Polars (and Pandas) ? Are they API-compatible ? How's the memory consumption benchmark ? (TBH, this is the only interesting metric. Timing and Latency are not really important when your most important competitor is Spark)

>Actually you can play these games with Xbox Series S at 1440p easily.

The Xbox Series S version of Cyberpunk runs at 30 FPS with a dynamic resolution between 2304x1296 and 2560x1440 on quality mode and at 60 FPS with a dynamic resolution between 1410x800 and 1920x1080 on performance mode. If you were to run it with a fixed resolution of 1440p, then you'd definitely not be averaging 30 FPS.
What about compiling programs with `cl -utf-8` and using -A APIs? I know the docs say “If the ANSI code page is configured for UTF-8, -A APIs typically operate in UTF-8”, to which I say, just “typically”?! But in practice is it not sufficient?
TIL Australia is a developing country.

This xenophobic mindset is just not true. Similar and worse things happen in "developed" countries all the time as well, except at a different scale and potentially much worse consequences (e.g. 2008). The rule of law doesn't apply equally to everyone, and some people can skirt around it, or be above it.
It is not infinitely recursive. It supports nested structures as you show but only up to a predefined depth.

IE:

fragment CategoriesRecursive on Category {
subcategories {
...SubcategoryFields
subcategories {
...SubcategoryFields
subcategories {
...SubcategoryFields
}
}
}
}

So you have to build your schema with a maximum supported depth. This is not infinitely recursive which is a limitation of the GQL type system.
I think the generous interpretation is that the risk of being late or paying more is a reason to balance the freedom of someone to do something irrational. (I tend to disagree on this particular topic)

Hi, I'm one of the maintainers of Daft

1. Thanks! We think so too :)

2. Here's my 2c in argument of flat files

- Ingestion: ingesting things into a data lake is much easier than writing to a database (all you have to do is drop some JSON, CSVs or protobufs into a bucket). This makes integrating with other systems, especially 3rd-party or vendors, much easier since there's an open language-agnostic format to communicate with.

- Multimodal data: Certain datatypes (e.g. images, tensors) may not make sense in a traditional SQL database. In a datalake though, data is usually "schema-on-read", so you can at least ingest it and now the responsibility is on the downstream application to make use of it if it can/wants to - super flexible!

- "Always on": with databases, you pay for uptime which likely scales with the size of your data. If your requirements are infrequent accesses of your data then a datalake could save you a lot of money! A common example of this: once-a-day data cleanups and ETL of an aggregated subset of your data into downstream (clean!) databases for cheaper consumption.

On "isn't updating it a huge chore?": many data lakes are partitioned by ingestion time, and applications usually consume a subset of these partitions (e.g. all data over the past week). In practice this means that you can lifecycle your data and put old data into cold-storage so that it costs you less money.
Dells online store is a nightmare of dark patterns. Everything on there is 2-3x as expensive as it should be, except it’s always on a huge sale that is changing all the time

It’s too much, I can’t shop there
The problem is that most people don't know any better. Right now I'm working on getting a greater-than-90-minute build down to ~10 minutes using distcc, ccache, and mold. It's painful to hear management ask "when is it going to be done and we can move on?" because that really telegraphs they don't value the increased quality of life this decreased cycle time will deliver to the developers and users.

I'm reminded of the cartoon with the caveman pulling a cart with square wheels, and guy waving circular wheels at him, only to be told "No thanks, we are too busy."
> Why would a mod "need" an awful thankless unpaid job and why would Reddit have a rush of competent, honest, qualified people willing to replace the mods?

It meets some psychological need. That might be a sense of belonging, power, purpose, etc. It's why you don't need to pay mods to do this "awful" work. The reason why Reddit would instantly see a rush of people willing to replace them is because that many people want to be mods, for the same reasons.

Whether they're "competent, honest, or qualified" is another question. It's why I love to see technology automate out the role (e.g. community notes).
> These days one of the systems level programming languages (Rust) is natively UTF-8.

Except that the geniuses who maintain the extant Unix systems still couldn't bring themselves to at least start transitioning pathnames to utf8, so now we're forever stuck with the terrible OsString cruft and wasting brain and CPU cycles converting from and to OsString in some unsatisfactory manner.

At least ZFS (which also incidentally is pretty much the only non-terrible filesystem) has an utf8only flag.

> Fine-tuning is good for treating it how to act, but not great for reciting/recalling data.

What underlying process makes it this way? Is it because the prompt has heavier weight?
There are a couple of things that can help. As has been pointed out by other commenters - chunking up content is very useful.

The other often neglected approach is to use an LLM to derive new content and use the embedding of this as well.

E.g. ask the LLM “give me a list of questions that can be answered by the following passage”

You then use embeddings of the generated questions instead of embeddings of the original content.

We have to include our evolutionary process because a lot of our brain is pretrained, especially visual/motor neurons.

We seem to be pretrained to pick up language, for example, and the language(s) we hear after being born fill that space, our brains are plastic for a reason.

Submarines do not have to surface to get a GPS lock.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_navigation

"On the surface or at periscope depth, submarines have used these methods to fix their position"...GPS being one of them.

A submarine can also navigate by the stars without surfacing.

https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2021/october/navi...

"This is precisely the information required by the traditional method of celestial navigation, and it is accomplished without the need to surface or use a sextant!"
Great article. This part especially rings true to me: "If researchers have an ideological bent, a meta-analytic null may just be an expression of the typical sentiments of researchers".

When I was in academia, it was increasingly the case that my peers thought of research less as a way to determine the truth, but just as a method to influence policy and public opinion. If we thought something was 80% likely to be true, there was pressure to "close ranks" and pretend as though it was 100% true, and to avoid publishing anything that contradicted it. It is also well known that papers that support certain "sides" tend to be easier to publish (and in higher ranked journals), plus can yield more media attention. See for example, this fraud in sociology - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_contact_changes_minds.

This may be better in the natural sciences, but in social science you should not trust any paper unless you read through and fully understand the methodology. Any non experimental results has so much wiggle room in the modeling methodology that it's easy to generate any result you want. The actual percentage of papers with credible results is very low, much lower than laypeople think.

Possible that I was using Spring in a wrong fashion but for me (project size around 300 KLOC) Spring dependency injection model with so much magic happening (all the auto configurations, guessing which classes to load etc.) was extremely hard to maintain and understand.

I don’t think you can make everyone happy.

As a backend-developer I’d never use your tool, because it is limited to the set of building blocks you’re offering.

As a no-code developer “REST APIs, CRUD operations and dynamic workflows on top of a Postgres DB” are foreign words to me. Why would I even need that? And even if I needed that, why would I use something that is limited instead of a low-code tool like Windmill, Retool or Trigger.dev?

I think you really have to think about who is going to be using the product and what are their requirements. Maybe the type of customers didn’t even need an API in the first place?
Congrats on the launch! Played around with fastgen some weeks ago and liked the focus on creating APIs and workflows. I have built many API endpoints with Make.com in the past as it made it easier to manage external connections compared to using lambdas but felt limited by the Make.con data model.

How/when do you plan to

- catch up on integrations other workflow tools have already built? E.g. my workflows often rely on data in CRMs/Notion/GitHub.

- integrate with alternative databases and datawarehouses? I don’t necessarily want to sync all state to the fastgen-managed Postgres.
I'm a huge fan of Karl Friston's work! A seemingly simple idea (viewing cognition as effectively Bayesian) with many interesting implications.
