> "Don't be evil" is simply impossible for large corporations

I see Patagonia as the antithesis of this broadly accepted assertion.

It's possible, it just takes having a goal for your company that's more than greed.
For a lawyer, not doing the job one has been paid for is not just incompetence, it's considered malpractice.

In this case, the original malpractice of failing to check the falsified cites was compounded by submitting falsified opinions to the court (in support of the falsified cites), which is fraud and would be criminal in most states. It's blatantly obvious that he used ChatGPT to generate falsified opinions to try and cover up his original fuck-up after traditional means of verification (i.e., using a legal database like LexisNexis or Westlaw) failed to substantiate any of the ChatGPT cites he originally submitted.

In most states, this lawyer would be disbarred, or at the very least suspended for many months, for this sort of conduct. This lawyer should consider himself lucky that the court hasn't yet entertained referring this case to the NY DOJ for criminal prosecution.
Plato's Unwritten Doctrines
That's the thing, to use an overused adage: it's a feature not a bug. They want these people gone. They calculated their contributions and decided it won't hurt, or hurt badly enough, for them to care. They'll all make millions on the IPO, step away, and sell. None of this makes a difference to that master plan. The sooner everyone accepts this the less time will get wasted on trying to convince Reddit this is a mistake. It's not a bug.

Reddit is a shell of what it was when I started on the platform 14+ years ago.
I responded to this in another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36245815

There needs to be a balance between standing your ground and being malleable. This is true in life for people, and it's true for a good LLM. I think GPT4 (the only LLM I've used much) finds a good balance here.

As mentioned in my other comment, it wouldn't be useful to me if it didn't push back. It pushes back a lot, and I'm always looking for subtle tricks I can throw at it to test its abilities. It does well I think.
I don't even use Apollo, so this shouldn't affect me in the slightest... but slandering folks? That's not cool.

Account deleted, noted the slander as the reason.
25-30% is roughly the difference I see between E10 and E85. I'd be very surprised if E0 and E10 had the same difference in mileage.
Might be a pretty big legal argument if he just copied Reddit backend functionality. Would probably have to redesign the front end from the ground up as well to make it clear it’s not just a rip off.
Any idea what percentage of mice studies do extrapolate to humans?
> actually wanted to do thr MSF course which is like a luxury that does not exist anywhere else but the demand for them was huge and they were all booked

I got lucky and bought a slot on craigslist from someone who decided to bail. Not sure, how often that occurs (and in my case that was 20 years ago). Well worth it imho (while the instructors do stress that they teach you only the very basics). I can't imagine going out in traffic with little more than the skill to ride around cones (as challenging as that is, particularly on a large bike).

(actually, I just remember that I was riding before w/o either on my "learner's permit", in fact, I rode to the training on my CB750F, but I wouldn't say that it's a good idea to do so)
The experience can differ drastically between cities / regions. In Munich, most people are indeed silent except for Oktoberfest when all hell breaks loose at Hackerbrücke. In Berlin, most are also silent, but sometimes a dude with a trombone casually joins the train and starts blasting on a normal tuesday. :P

Some local networks have modern, nice trains. Others still operate designs that are from the late 60s and sound like a circular saw (e.g. the old S-Bahn trains or the Metro system in Munich). Some have nice seats and toilets in their S-Bahns, others have no toilets and super hard seats. Some have modern, high platforms with barrier-free access, others still use very low platforms and small diesel-powered carriages from the early 80s. Some operators clean the trash inside the train regularly during the day, others... don't. Some networks / lines are at (or even severely over) capacity, some are not.

There is no universal "german public transport experience", IMO. Maybe GP just lives in a region with old and neglected rolling stock. :)

Long-distance trains are (almost) all operated by DB Fernverkehr and thus there aren't such extreme differences.
During the launch they bragged about the fancy alloy they were going to use for the exoskeleton, going so far as to hit it with a sledge hammer on stage. The alloy gets its strength from fancy hardening methods, which are undone by high heat, so welding weld repairs are not an option. I would guess that the exoskeleton idea was engineer driven, but had to be walked back by other departments.
Visual Studio Code May 2023
You can't, though you can disable it, along with the most Google apps.

If you want a phone without "G.suite" that's way harder of course.
One thing I've noted is that online forums have expanded and consolidated a few times over the decades. We saw expansion to start, back with BBSes, then consolidation to FidoNet, Usenet, and services like AOL. Web forums took us into expansion. Link aggregators and meme sites moved toward some consolidation. Reddit is basically Usenet 2.0.

I suspect we may see another round of forum expansion again as people want to carve out their own niche communities again. We might not see Usenet 3.0 for a bit while we let people expand then let a new site come along and consolidate.
I paid $8 at least decade+ ago. I'm actually surprised it haven't fallen apart by now, it was "designed" by local company and of course made in china.
It does 5 full (filtered) air exchanges with outside air per hour.

There are a further ~10 full circulations of internal air through the full filtering system.

That level of air movement remains comfortable because we have a lot of ducting (we detailed in a lot of grilles, not just one single one per room) so it is a low-velocity high throughput system. You never get a lot of air blowing out of one place, but you get a lot of placed blowing a little air.

Design and Implementation of the Mold Linker
I read (= a b) as unification and slowly pieced together that it was probably assignment. Not as equality as the results of all the expressions starting = were discarded.
Wait until you learn about accessibility laws.
And also reducing US reliance on foreign energy. Farmers make 10x the corn that we can eat, why not make renewable, albeit kinda dirty fuel out of it? Still better than importing arabian oil on a supertanker 10,000 miles, right?
The claim "faster sorting algorithm" is wrong.
They have to show the time-complexity. They have to prove that their algorithm is faster than linear sorting algorithms. Otherwise, they have to accept that their claim is wrong.
I don't think it is different. I mostly see people dismissing Passkeys as a technology because of X or Y thing that "they don't do", when that's either a mistaken assumption, or something they don't do right now.
It's a weird balance right?

You'd think letting 3rd party developed apps for your platform frees up resources you would otherwise put in to develop your own app.

Individuals that use third party apps are probably power users so they're the one's submitting content and writing good comments. The very backbone to what brings people to the platform.

With quality of submissions and comments going down then presumably the number of actual visiters to the site will also go down. Thus lowering potential revenue.
I'm out of the loop, I don't know much about grazing pastures.

But some grasses, grown intentionally, grow extremely fast (giganteus miscanthus was the big one at the time I was researching actively).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscanthus_%C3%97_giganteus

I'm certain there are better ones now, this is very dated information about the details. But from the Wikipedia there's some exciting stuff to me:

"Miscanthus is unusually efficient at turning solar radiation into biomass, and its water use efficiency is among the highest of any crop. It has twice the water use efficiency of its fellow C4 plant maize, twice the efficiency as the C3 energy crop willow (Salix viminalis), and four times the efficiency as the C3 plant wheat."

and check out just how tolerant this species is --

"Miscanthus × giganteus is either moderately or highly tolerant of heat, drought, flooding, salinity (below 100 mM), and cool soil temperatures (down to −3.4°C, or 25°F). This robustness makes it possible to establish relatively high-yielding miscanthus fields on marginal land, for instance in coastal areas, damp habitats, grasslands, abandoned milling sites, forest edges, streamsides, foothills and mountain slopes. 99% of Europe's saline, marginal lands can be used for M. × giganteus plantations, with only an expected maximum yield loss of 11%."

It's pretty amazing, and is already grown for fuels according to the wikipedia page so it's not like it's a novel concept.
Caffeine pretty much every day, I can only have it in the mornings though or it interferes with sleep. Alcohol a few times a week, usually just one or two drinks. Now that i'm mid thirties the booze hits me much harder than before and hangovers are easy to get. Pot gummies on the weekend when I want to relax. I know quite a few heavy users who will smoke a couple joints then go do yardwork - crazy. If I have any i'm eating a heavy meal and playing video games. I sleep great with it.
I started smoking cigars over the pandemic, only a couple times a month, you certainly get a nicotine buzz that is kind of nice. It is smelly though so I don't do it often and it's more for the ritual and relaxation than the buzz. Amyl nitrates for other recreation.

Wow writing that all out makes me look like a degenerate :)
How do we know that the brain is a statistical model of the world? It sounds like explaining an unknown phenomenon using the technology du jour - just 10/20 years ago, the brain was a computer.
I don’t know, I’ve found quite a few work arounds for stuff like this with BitWarden where the experience is pretty seamless and I routinely deal with all of these issues except SSO.

BitWarden has its problems but generally I find the experience pretty good - indeed far superior to the other services you mentioned. The ability to use “secure notes” and the convenient way that has been implemented in BW has allowed me to be fine in all the scenarios you’re mentioning.

Of course, you’re right, you still have to copy the password in somewhere, but ultimately I feel like that’s a lower threat if properly handled than what I used to do (shitty insecure passwords).

The other thing is I barely ever use the browser extension for the password manager. All of the browser extensions I’ve tried other than BitWarden have been janky and even that’s only ok. Still, try BW I like it way better than lastpass and 1password.
The opportunity to stand out from other enshittified platforms. But I guess now we need to find a new thing for VCs to fund for us. Maybe an app that pretends to use AI to create memes or something.
Will it remove Amazon referral trackers? That could destroy a publishing sub-industry in one fell swoop.
So who was fighting the Chinese during the Battle of the Barrier Forts?
It never does, until it does.

Tha dam will burst, it's not a question of if but when. It's a guarantee from the ever declining quality of reddit.
Calling these trips “journeys” raises the question if the traveller is taking on more than he bargained for.
What I find worse than the typing issue (which I agree with) is that it is an uncommon choice for something a very common choice exists.

Even worse is that its use is so similar to the situations where the dot is used that it's just confusing. The Internet is full of questions when to use which. This is in my eyes unnecessary complexity and does not mesh well with the aspiration of Rust wanting to be beginner friendly.
Yes. Google has become useless for certain types of searches. I find reddit to have recommendations that are much more trustworthy.

It's not just product recommendations, things like book recommendations, career advice, scientific/academic questions. Reddit has answers to these kinds of questions that are very difficult to find elsewhere.
That was not the point argued. But you are correct.
I’m a tech writer and love the idea of “drawing” diagram using the markup. Definitively will try to use it by my another docs project. Thank you.
Mostly I switched from high intensity cardio workouts (1hr+ cycling or running fast/hard) to much longer low impact workouts (walking for 3 hours+ some evenings).

The most likely reason that had a big impact was that I am not sitting on the couch and thus not snacking late at night...
If you didn't have a need to post, I would assume Apollo could be update to allow one to specify a Teddit/libreddit instance's API (which would act as a caching proxy for reddit). You'd be able to get a similar experience without relying on Reddit directly.
Yeah the question at the root of this is how much the "in person" thing matters. I think the answer turns out to be "a lot". And back when I was in college a decade and a half ago, I was super optimistic about the internet and wrote essays arguing that the answer to this would turn out to be "not at all". But I think after watching this develop for a long time now, that it has not gone well.
Bullshit. If it is your job to check these things and get it right, “Not looking into it” is just laundering responsibility for not checking, especially when caught and then doubling down.
It’s an ads business, so the game is always “giving away a huge number of requests for free to monetize an extremely tiny portion of those requests.” So as soon as bean counters look at the books, it’s easy to be tempted to just identify cohorts of those requests that are unlikely to convert and cut off those users.

It takes someone who is more than just a bean counter to realize that maybe, just maybe, the only reason people are interested in those free requests in the first place is because of the communities on Reddit that bring all the actual value.

And who knows, maybe one day everyone will realize that the “free social media monetized by ads” business just totally sucks and can only ever lead to situations like this.
Monetization and growth go hand-in-hand. I'm an old.reddit.com user (even on MoWeb, I know I'm a psycho), but the way people talk about Apollo is like it's absolutely superior to the current Reddit app. If I were Reddit, and my users loved this third-party product _so much_, I would at least explore promoting Apollo to a first-class interface for browsing Reddit.

For the scale of Reddit as a company, it's likely a trivial deal; whereas the cross-pollination of ideas and UI/UX learnings could easily be worth more than the cost of collaborating.
Right up until it kills someone. Don’t confuse “healthcare” with “medicine.”
The way you tell it I get a bit of a post-scarcity Culture (Iain Banks') vibe, just go wherever whenever you want
I don't see attestation as such a big problem. If a site doesn't support your (perfectly compliant) client because of attestation, complain to that site so they know they lost a sale because of it. Companies aren't willing to lose customers for no reason.
aka slander. Much kudos to the guy recording the calls
Interesting. For a few years I was extremely bad about brushing my teeth. I wonder if not doing that is why my consumption of coffee, carbonated drinks, and sugary snacks/desserts did nothing to the teeth themselves other than maybe a little extra staining. The first dentist visit I had after that stretch of 3 years required nothing but a cleaning! (Of course it's still bad to not brush consistently because the plaque turns to tartar along the gums which causes them to recede)
The amount of ads and politics baked into Edge will be enough for even lazy people to find an alternative.
Oh! I was wondering how I never even heard of Apollo until this debacle. It being only for lockdown platforms explains.
Their content is going to be porn bots and astroturfed product accounts. Maybe they want that as part of their enshittification process to extract as much value from the brand as possible during their quick death.
You’re right, it is a feature, but I’d like the option to distribute a smaller binary without everything built in. Roswell supposedly helps with this, but I haven’t gotten it to work yet. Some commercial implementations support this, I think, but they’re priced well beyond my hobby project budget.

Janet is intriguing to me because it has a small footprint (even smaller than most Schemes). I’ve heard it’s handy for building little utilities, especially if you want someone else to be able to run them (a situation I find myself in regularly).
The average web CRUD developer never needs to touch any of this stuff.

- Numeric types? Who cares? I know min, I know max. I take number from user and insert it in database. For calculations with money, I use integer cents.

- Bit-fields? I work in Java, what are bitfields?

- IP addresses? I am web dev loper, not network engineer. I don't need to deal with netmasks.

- Cryptography? Me no understand. Me use Let's Encrypt. Is secure, no?

- Compression? Browser do gzip for me. Me no care.

- Colors? I pick the nice color from the color wheel.

- Binary? What is binary? I only use binary when I want users to upload a file. Then I put the files on S3.

Well I do embedded dev as a hobby now so I know this stuff. But for a long time I didn't know how many bits were in a byte simply because I never really needed that knowledge.
I’ve also done a decent amount of interviewing, and have a similar (but slightly different) experience to the GP.

We considered someone’s career history a problem when they had several jobs of ~a year or less. Or someone interviewing for a senior position with 4-5 years of experience across 5 companies, for example. If those were the case, we were much more likely to reject them.

If someone (hypothetical) had 10 years experience, with a few that lasted 1-2 years, one that was only a few months, and maybe one that was 4-5ish years, then that was no problem at all. We wanted to be sure they had seen the consequences of their prior decisions, if they were coming into a high-mid or senior role.

When we did hiring, we wouldn’t be comparing candidates 1-to-1 like “Well A had this, but B was good at this, which one should we pick?” …instead, we would just say “ok we’re in hiring mode, keep hiring everyone who is good until we have enough for xyz goal”. So it wouldn’t be that CandidateA is better than CandidateB, but rather if they both met the standards, then they’d get hired.

Some of the qualifiers that mattered more than tenure for us were:

* are they capable of explaining technical problems and communicating

* do they understand algorithms at enough of a level that they won’t cause major performance issues

* are they polite and friendly, how do they respond to feedback

* can they build an architecture which handles expanding requirements

* how eager are they to learn and work on our tech stack + business domain

I haven’t interviewed juniors really, so I can’t speak much to that. But when we’ve hired someone less experienced, it would be the same requirements as above just with a lot more leeway on tech, and more emphasis on “eagerness to learn” + “receptive to feedback”
They're not under any obligation legally - but they've been intentionally misleading at every step to try to make Apollo the bad guy
It very much used to work like this, pretty much exclusively.

More recently, though (especially, the last couple of years), browser vendors work very closely with standards groups, contributing there, and looking for feedback from other browser vendors. At least in the CSS and JS space, the extensions to those standards have proceeded largely as a group effort rather than as you described.
Also foreign buyers can buy up whatever gets built. The Anglo-Saxon disease.
Not really. Plenty of Electron apps for web apps like Notion, Figma, Linear all support tabs.
I am sorry but RAM is the least constrained vector of cloud hosting. I have apps that need to do video encoding in real time with 100ms latency and those are always bottlenecked on CPUs.

I have a micronaut app that uses around 350MB which is almost entirely JVM overhead.
>yes, turns out we are the bad guys who have been continually lying and manipulating the situation for our benefit

This is *literally* what is expected of someone running a company with intitutional investors - anything other than this and investors are not interested.

What more proof do we need that there is nothing more important to a small group of humans that own all the money, than them getting more money?
And even if it did in the US, I don't think anyone here is an expert on how phone consent laws work cross-country.
> I wonder if they’ll see employees quit over this.

What is the employee culture like it Reddit?

I’ve never gotten the impression that people working at Reddit better care all that much about the community. It’s just not something that ever came across from the site… rather, I’ve suspected just the opposite.

Statements by some admin’s make me wonder if they’ve EVER dealt with a community before … and their decisions based on personal relationships, rather than anything else.
Reddit 16-year club member here. Reddit has made the the most tone-deaf decision in their entire 17 year history. This will be a future case study on how to self-immolate your entire community.
> The laws for building new homes haven't changed much in a few decades

Not exactly true; the local ADU ordinance was added 2015-2017 (207(c)(4) https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_francisco/latest/s...), and the state added an ADU law in 2016 (https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio....). And San Francisco has just passed the state-mandated Housing Element which promises to upzone more in the next 3 years (https://sfplanning.s3.amazonaws.com/archives/sfhousingelemen...). Moreover, I would support a virtuous cycle of incentivizing development and further upzoning.

> This is no less than state mandated stealing from who you perceive to be rich (homeowners), while creating no new homes; because homeowners aside from developers do not build homes.

That is a norm that can and should change. In a housing shortage, everyone and their mom should be figuring out how to add square footage to their house. All departments of the government should be oriented toward encouraging small homeowners to accommodate more residents.

> Do you know what happened in San Fran areas where they created and enforced the rental boards? Property values dropped, rentals dropped, everyone with options didn't invest in the area, business left, no jobs available, police couldn't be funded, and people regularly get killed as crime increases.

Huh? That sounds nothing like the present day. Property values are still near all time highs, particularly on single-family houses. Violent crime rates are near all time lows (although they could be better).

> For a regular home, it already increases each year by at least 7,000 dollars in property taxes

No, Proposition 13 (which I oppose) caps the tax rate to 1% and caps increases to min(CPI, 2%) per year. For the property tax to increase by $7000 in one year, your property would have to be worth at least 7000 / 0.02 * 100 = $35 million. Your numbers make no sense.

> roughly 32,000 goes to food right now

Again you’re off by about an order of magnitude.
